I think it goes without saying that this is not how I expected my first Inauguration living in DC would go. Actually its about as far as I could have expected. I truly I wish we all could experience all the hope and excitement an Inauguration has to offer but instead I, like many people I know living in DC plan on hibernating on Friday, and everyone else is leaving town.
My guess is that instead of waking up early to get a spot on the parade route, I’ll be in the kitchen trying to forget what’s happening outside.
If you are coming into DC for the Women’s March on Saturday, Pineapple DC, a community for women in food that seeks to connect the good food movement with the foodie movement to create a better food systems, and Cherry Bombe Magazine have put together some pretty perfect food suggestions! Proud to say I have been to half of the suggestions!

That is beautiful! I bet it tastes wonderful. Unfortunately, I’m gluten free. I wonder if a GF version could be made? crusts like that are next to impossible to make GF. Anyway, it looks great! 😉
Thank you! Unfortunately, I do not know of a GF version!
What an absolutely gorgeous tart, I am loving the flavor combination! As for the other stuff, well… at least we survived the inauguration. We’ll see how the rest goes. Hugs to you my friend!
Thank you!
