Tea Party on the terrace on a beauutiful Sunday afternoon.

the best soy latte i have ever had came from sticky fingers bakery.

all vegan baked goods. yum yum.

awesome rundown building on U-street in D.C. Loved the colors.

Santa Croce Church
I live right by it! (by the side alley)
The piazza is filled with tourists all the time
and a bunch of festivals/events come in and out of this area.
be careful young girls, there are a lot of vultures here

sick days are the worst. no time for exploring.

but i have made these amazing mock-tuna melts.

1 cup TVP (textured vegetable protein)
1/2 cup mayo (can be vegan)
2/3 cup celery, cut thin
1/2 cup red onion, diced
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup dill relish or diced pickles
1 tablespoon mustard
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 garlic cloves, minced
salt and pepper to taste

reconstitute the TVP - add 7/8 cup boiling water to 1 cup TVP. Stir and Wait 10 minutes.
in the meantime cut up celery, red onion, pickles, and garlic. Set aside.
when TVP is ready, mix all ingrediants.
Spoon mock tuna salad onto untoasted english muffins.
Add a few slices of medium cheddar cheese.
Toast in oven (i toast mine at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes) until cheese is melted.
yummm - enjoy :)

makes enough for 6-8 (english muffin halves) tuna melts!
