Candle Cafe.. a quick review..

SO didn't get a chance to review my meal at Candle Cafe on the Upper East Side.. I got the special which was the Paella with a saffron rice carrots, lots of steamed greens and cajun seitan with a tomato sauce, accompanied by cauliflower, green beans, and zucchini.. It was really good:) light but filling. Sometimes I don't get specials because I wonder why they aren't always on the menu and not just occasionally but this was a good choice:) I love Candle great healthy restaurant:)

this week has kind of kicked my but. . .

So it seems like lately its one thing after the other... First I was having trouble with my arm and that went away and then this guy blew cigarette smoke like right into my eye and I think it irritated it's been watering terribly and then giving me congestion from going into my throat. So if it doesn't get better tomorrow I'm going to try to go into the eye doctor. I have the most sensitive eyes - I need a new pair. yes I do. ok aside from that.. Today was hard to push through with my congestion- basically just grabbed lunch and came home to rest.. Went to Cafe BLossom today. delicious of course, tried something new their vegan healthy version of " Fettucini Allfredo" So good. Tired not feeling fabulous. so this is all a picture of yummyness for you:)

Peacefood Cafe: NYC

This past week, has been slightly stressful- nothing in particular just life in general. but I suppose you roll with the punches right? Let me just say I am not a fan of rain, let me say I'm really not a fan of rain in New York City.. why you ask? Lets start of with gross streets filled with dirty water - not bad enough is that the wind was so heavy ( hurricane force or so i've heard) so basically any umbrella I did have was destroyed.. total count of ruined umbrellas this week = 4 . I need to get a really strong umbrella. I always question though.. why don't they use something stronger to make umbrellas something that won't self destruct in the wind.. So the umbrella was a fail I got soaked pretty much two days in a row.. then the whole wet sneakers thats just nasty. So needless to say I am so glad that the rain has gone and this week is suppose to be lovely. highs in the 50's? really? love you new york:) Today was just a light rain so it was great compared to the monsoon yesterday..(;)} had a relaxing day headed to Peacefood for the best vegan caesar salad in the city along with a freshly squeezed glass of O.J. lots of vitamin C today:) Feeling kind of tired and blah maybe it's the rain eh? Hopefully things will be looking up the rest of the week and if things aren't looking up I suppose I will be:)! thats all for now folks. I'll leave you for a little eye candy to slobber at;)

"Nothing shapes your life more than the commitments you choose to make. Your commitments can develop you or destroy you, but either way they will define you. Tell me what you are committed to, and I will tell you what you will be in twenty years. We become whatever we are committed to."

hmm..

what are you committed to?

Caravan of Dreams: NYC

at Caravan of Dreams today { caravanofdreams.net} It was super big and super good:) Seitan Ques. with onions and peppers and a chili sauce accompanied by a small side salad. Both amazing.. Big enough to eat half and save the rest for later. Really good not surprising though caravan is amazing:)

It''s been a couple days hasn't it?

The weekend went by way to fast. I've been tired lately and busy so the days have just skipped right by..now onto a new week.. I don't really have much I've been up to out of the ordinary to write about so that's life at the moment..

Life is kind of weird. I mean like we just graduate high school and move onto college or some type of field to eventually get a job to eventually make money and support ourselves ( while hopefully doing something you enjoy). Sounds easy doesn't it? Just one step after the other.. I'm sure some careers you choose are easier to get into and can be attained by following the simple one after the other step.. Everything is difficult but that makes the reward greater.. Of course my industry of choice is one of the most difficult and most uncertain fields I believe. I started feeling nervous a little bit about my future and am I doing what I should be and what God wants me to do.. I keep wanting a certain answer, but it always comes back to no certain answer at all.. because there really aren't any certainties in life.. am I right? I wish someone would just write in the sky what I should be doing.. But I think that all we can hope for is to find something were passionate about, something we'll be able to serve God in a bigger way, and of course something we'll be able to support ourselves with ( that falls into place though). I know that but still some days are full of uncertainty and anxiety about being where I should be... I think though that no matter where you end up everything you do and every place you go or live is an experience.. Life isn't about being totally fulfilled ( thats what Heaven is) to me life is just every small experience pushed together.. At the end of my life I want to have traveled ( which I've been blessed to do)....have had experiences.. been cultured.. always be learning.. Those are more important to me than "making it" in your field of choice... honestly, ask yourself whose measuring your success this world? or God? ...

" For what it's worth: it's never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again. "

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature,
nor do the children of men as a whole experience it.Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure.
Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.
To keep our faces toward change and behave like free spirits in the presence of fate is strength undefeatable.
- Helen Keller
