Wow, it's been a while since I wrote last in the blog. Mostly, I've been on vacation celebrating the holidays with my family, which I love, but that without a choice you are almost forced to do, since Puerto Rico goes into a commercial "cease-fire" period during the holidays. (That excludes Plaza Las Americas Mall, of course).
Santa somehow knew I really needed a camera for the blog, and got me a new Nikon SLR. Sweeeeet!!! Even though in the states the holidays are over when you realize it's that unfortunate 1st day of the year, where you were supposed to start that diet you promised yourself about; in Puerto Rico holidays keep on going for a few days more after the 3 Kings (Jan 6th).
Even though gold, incense and "mirra" (whatever that is), sound like cool gifts, the 3 Kings decided to bring me some more practical gifts for Nudi Pasta... like a stove, fridge and sink.
As you can see, the Puerto Rican extended holidays have it's perks; unless you are trying to get something done, which in that case you will have to wait until about Valentine's day. ;)
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.
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.

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.
