Beef has been given a bad rap for a long time. But today I was pleasantly surprised to find that my ultra-yummy Beef Sukiyaki dinner from Bento Nouveau is actually lower in calories, fat and sugar than the salmon and chicken teriyaki.

I was really surprised. I usually choose chicken or fish because I think it has less fat.

Has beef really become that much more lean than other meats, due to pressure from health nuts (and those legitimately concerned about cholesterol, etc)? Or was there just less meat in total in the beef version? (Although I saw the salmon and it looked SMALL).

Still, I'm quite happy about the nutritional value of my meal today. I think it was actually better than the soup deal at Tim Hortens (mostly due to the 300-calorie apple fritter that I love so much or that super-yummy fatmobile, the cream cheese danish).

I feel unproductive. How does one get back to feeling organized and productive? I think I need a motivation course.

I was feeling crappy last night, but I found a friend to hang out with on V-day afterall. It was an unexpected treat!

I had lunch with Jane today and we had, as always, a great talk.

I've found another friend to hang out with tonight as well. Perhaps if I stay busy I'll start to feel more energetic.

Skating on the Rideau Canal in Ottawa is about as romantic a tradition as one can get in a counthttp://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gifry.

That's where I was yesterday - skating in the sunny winter afternoon. Skating badly, but skating nonetheless. I even learned how to skate backwards... sort of.

So tonight, for my Valentine's date, Alex and I are going skating in Toronto. Very exciting!

Even though it's a lot of driving to go to Ottawa for the weekend, it's always worth it. Jaap has been staying with my brother in Ottawa for a week or so now, so I got to see him, which was nice. And of course I got to catch up with Will.

But the nicest surprise was visiting my cousin Jason and his patner Krystal and their two kids, Balin and Durin. I am totally in love; Balin is the most energetic loving little kid! He showed me his toys and we played Mr Potato Head and lots of pretend. He loved having someone to play with and covered me in kisses. I now totally want a baby. Sigh. OK, maybe not a baby exactly, but a three-year-old would be nice.

I guess for now I'll have to make do with a boyfriend. It's almost the same thing ;)
