a peanut butter pie with chololate crumb crust and whipped cream at this resturtant this week and were changed...to the point we went back and ordered a whole freakin pie to bring home.
we found a hole in the wall pastery shop in Newport, called Volta. it said "European pastries, carribean(sp?) and african too.
this darmlin tiny Jamacian lady with the thick accent gave us a pastry with cream cheese in the middle the second we walked in and we we in taste-bud heaven. her variety was VERY limited, only 3 kinds of pastry, but man oh man each kind was to die for. we drove home today by way of her shop, but sadly it was closed. we were gonna really buy a lot of whatEVER she had going on. I saw her working in the window but her Closed sign was up. I am still kicking myself. I mean 10:30 on a SAT. MORNING ..closed???? i SHOULD HAVE GONE UP AND KNOCKED! opps cap lock sorry.
she seemed SO grateful 3 days ago when we went in and bought a total of 6 pasteries.
So glad you had fun! I've only stayed there once, but I do remember

an incredible bakery that was about two blocks from the house we rented. I'm sure it wasn't the same, I would have remembered a Jamaican lady. A valuable lesson. Always stock up on pastry.
Sales were great for the kids sizes, I almost sold out ...

and our socks sold out, lol. one lady even ordered more.
For the first time I had a really rude customer, she kept pulling out shirts and saying 'eww' she didn't like anything but the classic spiral. and she didn't like the men's tanks, said the armholes were too low. To be honest, I don't care for that style either, but I was still surprised she was so critical.
thanks you guys for the well wishes below. I JUST got home
