OUT of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance	5
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,	10
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:	15
I am the captain of my soul.

Monday.... I wish you were Friday:)

Today was actually an ok Monday although Monday's are never as good as Fridays.. I think most people would agree:) I went to the arm doctor today, kind of expecting him to do something to relieve my arm pain.. a shot or something but he just wants me to go get an x-ray on my wrist to make sure nothing is wrong... So my arm still hurts, but It does feel a bit better today.. This week seems like its going to be long, partly because the weather is going to be bad. Rain/Snow ( slush) mix everyday this week :/ I hate when it rains in NYC its so gross. So the rain along with getting up at 5 a.m. two days this week is making it seem a bit long.. oh plus the x-ray.. but I'm sure it'll be a good week:) Or a week that makes me appreciate the weekend even more:) On another note.. I went to Candle Cafe on the upper east side today for lunch ( since it wasn't to far from my DR.) Got the special today which was a spinach wrap filled with grilled seitan, sweet pat., kale, and black eyed peas with an aioli dressing- with a side of vegan cole slaw. It was so good and big to.. I'm not huge on the wrap so I mostly ate the inside but it was full of stuff so It was really good:) Love this cafe. One of the best and one of Dr. Oz favorites- so I'm all for it:) That was pretty much my day... we'll see how the week goes:) RR tomorrow all day. tomorrow should actually be fun so fun guests and work to do:) woohoo. adios - enjoy the candle pictures!

Cafe Blossom: NYC

So had church today which was great- had to hurry after the gym because my arm makes me take longer. ha. BUT I made it in time then went over to Blossom for lunch! Tried a new sandwhich. "Soy Bacon Burger" topped with tomatoes, onions, lettuce, and chipotle aioli with some cole slaw. HUGE! Also got some really good charred brussel sprouts. they were really good:) This is one of the best sandwiches to order here at Blossom. A healthy version of a cheeseburger with some crunchy soy bacon! YUMM .

Oh Friday, I missed you:)

I am so glad its finally the weekend. To be honest this week has gone by slow and hasn't been the best.. BUT life goes on and things always get better. Not a bad week just stressful things, lots to take care of and what not. Of course some fun stuff to! My arm is starting to feel a little better but it makes things harder to do and take more time to do them.. so I'm hoping it's all better soon:) Class tonight was pretty fun. Hopes class always is . hehe. a few pictures from today:)

Wild Ginger: NYC

Got to grab Wild Ginger for lunch today on Broome Street not to far from babycakes actually;) how convenient :) Cute little chinese vegan restaurant not far from China town - so the ambience was set. I got the Summer rolls to start all raw and so good. then the Mango Soy Protein with fresh mango in a plum sauce with zucchini sugar snap peas, peppers and onions. accompanied by a small green salad with carrot ginger dressing and a hot cup of Ginger tea. Amazing freshly made food. Definitely recommend it if you want some healthy chinese food:) Enjoy the pictures! Wildgingervegan.com

Candle Cafe......

So today I went back to Candle Cafe on the Upper East Side.. One of my favorite spots for lunch:)

Tried something new today.. the Cajun Seitan Sandwhich with a side of coleslaw. Really amazing with onions, lettuce and tempeh bacon.. sided with a vegan aioli mayo ( which was so good I could have eaten a container ;) }} Also had a nice hot cup of green tea on a cold day. Both amazing.. 5 stars for sure:) Nothing else really new at the moment.. just thought I would give a quick review:)

Peace and Love

The burrito is huge and comes with brown rice ( i got quinoa instead) blanched veggies, salsa, and an almond "sour cream" all vegan of course, served with a small salad. Very fresh and delicious, all organic of course:) Then I got a raw cacao fudge bar.. really good.. light and delicious:) so thats my little review of Caravan for today, tried something new and it was delicious. Deciding where to hit tomorrow.. hmmm..

Peace, Love, and Vegan Food,
