Checkin Los Rios Rancho
Apple picking day! Got about 30 pounds which ought to make an apple pie or two.
I’m surprised not to have seen more wheel barrows…
The 30+ pound haul
Glad I brought the wagon this year.
Not a bad harvest despite the huge numbers of apples on the ground.
There’s a great view from the orchard.
Checkin Carmela Ice Cream & Sorbet
Stupidly expensive ice cream, but it’s awesome. Pumpkin spice is particularly good.
The pumpkin spice ice cream is delicious

Checkin Nothing Bundt Cakes – Pasadena
What a great little shop and concept!
My first time in and they not only had some excellent samples, but comped my first bundt. I’m impressed at how on-message and lovely the entire concept of the store really was. I’m already guessing I know how I’m going to add 20 pounds before the holidays are over.
Kitchen Kong whisk–a must have tool for every cinephile foodie!
A great storefront that includes some very accessible entry ideas.
My pumpkin spice bundt cake. The cream cheese frosting really makes it.
Mecca!
Checkin ARCO
Gassing up
Checkin Cross Campus Old Pasadena: Friday morning coffee meetup
Adventures in STEAM with a presentation by STEAM:CODERS founder Raymond Ealy
I’m going to have to volunteer some time to this organization.
Some caffeine and networking before the presentation
Cross Campus is a great place to host these types of meetups
Today’s Topic: Steam:Coders
Raymond Ealy has a great sense of humor!
After the meetup I had a grand conversation with Joe Love II about food. I hope we’ll manage to reconnect later on.
