Yesterday’s asparagus soup
The beginning of the Fiore Farm
All of our vegetable scraps go into our compost. I edited this photograph to brighten the colors.
Why not treat your office to a tray of Fiore cupcakes?

The Pudwill Farms Raspberry scones were a big hit. They sold out in a couple of hours.

My late night dinner when I got home, cold rare roast beef with just homemade pickles and lots of mayonnaise
Pudwill Farms Raspberries.
On Fridays and Saturdays we always feature a breakfast pastry. Most of the time it is a fresh berry scone. We always get out berries from Pudwill Farms. Their berries are just amazing. They’re so sweet. I purchased this basket from their stand at the South Pasadena Farmer’s Market. Stop by Saturday morning for Pudwill Farm’s raspberry scone.
Tomorrow I am baking a walnut and olive oil pound cake. It’s the first time I have tried this recipe, but I’ve been looking forward to it for a few weeks. They’ll be out of the oven and on the counter by 10:45.
Don’t forget about the raisin cinnamon bread tomorrow.
Here are a few photos from my travels today. Hope you enjoy them.
Anne and I are hooked on the band Mumford and Sons. If you haven’t listened to them check them out. They are really speciale.

Here are a few photographs from today.
We planted an Anna apple tree today on the patio of Fiore. There was one single apple dangling from a branch, but it fell off while I was pulling the tree from my car. There are quite a few blossoms so we should have more apples soon. I love that the tree is named Anna. Perfetto.

I bought these six bottles on Sunday with the intention of selling olive oil. I have a 25 liter drum of extra virgin olive oil in the kitchen. These bottles are not ideal for olive oil because they expose the oil to light. I just like the way they look. If you are interested in purchasing a 1/2 liter bottle of oil, let me know.
Started planting the raised beds today. I got 3 tomato plants and 3 basil plants in the ground. Tomorrow I’ll add eggplant, jalapenos and some other fresh herbs. Saturday I will get a medley of mixed greens planted.
Stop by and take a look
Ciao.
I am working on grilled pizzas. Today was slow which gave me some time to play around with the pizza crust. Since I don’t have a pizza oven I must make due with a grill pan and a conventional a oven. The crust turned out crisp and charred at the edges. We made a sopprassetta and blue cheese pizza and a simple provolone pizza. Tomorrow will try a proscuito, arugula and ricotta. If we get it right we’ll run it as a special on Friday and Saturday.
Also working on an oven roasted turkey breast sandwich.
See you tomorrow.
