Nudi Pasta.The start-up of a fresh pasta business.

Any person that knows me well, knows I'm always thinking of new business ideas. I could probably say I've been doing businesses (or at least researching about them) all my life. It started in kinder garden with silk worms, $1 each, 2nd grade handmade hair pins, 3rd grade a small bank where my parents would "deposit" pennies, a monthly newspaper that covered 4th grader things like school crushes, then I got more fancy with holiday presents like brownies and cookies all nicely packed and everything.

Sharing some home-made brownies in Kinder garden.

My mom was always very supportive, and I thank her for taking me to buy ingredients, bulk colorful necklace beads, and waking up with me at 5 am to pack cookies in nice little bags to sell that morning in school.

My dad, even though he never woke up at 5, he always listened to my ideas and inspired me in a way that felt like I could do anything I wanted.

Now I'm grown up and it's time to start new adventures. But this time, with a bigger market than 5th graders. So through this blog I'll share with you my story, of the start-up of a small artisan pasta business, everything from ups and downs, and maybe you can one day become part of my adventure too.

Thinking about cucumbers makes me smile

What about the garden?

Since Phil and I are still learning about this whole hydroponic garden thing, we've had to let go of several plants, and replaced them with other types. The squash has been flowering, and it seems like 2 small squashes are on the way, as seen below.



Our tomato plants are now taking the prize for speedy growth, and we have 3 types of them growing; Israeli tomatoes(A.K.A. Money Makers), Japanese tomatoes (A.K.A. Golden Gems), and the other ones .... I can't remember.

We have also an experimental honeydew (seeds from a melon I bought in the supermarket) which is growing really well. Cucumber with its yellow flowers and Yard Long Green Beans, which are already half way up in the trellis.
