Spring is coming

There's so much I want to write about! I want to write about my Winterlicious dinner at Auberge de Pommier, I want to write about a lovely breakfast I had with Mario--as well as our Valentine's Day, my thoughts about school and work, myself, and all these little fun incidents I've had over the past few days. It all keeps piling up!

For now though...

I've been spinning with my friend Jen at Quad Spin and it's been really great to take a class again. I still miss my beloved hot yoga at Moksha, but this is a really nice change of pace.

After spinning with Jen today, I met my friend Jennie for dinner at Kit Kat, an Italian restaurant on King West.



They had osso bucco-- a dish my mother had recently made that I really enjoyed. Obviiiiously I couldn't pass up the chance to try it "professionally" made, so I ordered it (despite being really tempted by one of the daily specials: goat cheese agnolotti with roasted corn, tomatoes etc...). Overall I really liked it. The meat was tender, the marrow was a wonderful, the tomato flavor was bright, and they gave me the perfect amount of fettucine to go with everything. My only complaint was that the dish was a quite oily (There were big pools of it by the end), but the atmosphere of the restaurant itself was really lovely. Jennie ordered their fusilli with a cream sauce, and to my surprise it was so nice and light. I usually avoid cream sauces because they're so heavy, but the bite I tried from her plate was pretty good.

Another little thing that makes me happy: sharing food, or sampling food from other people. Breaking bread and all that right?

Speaking of bread (what a convenient segue), I have been craving/enjoying bagels from Tim Horton's for breakfast. It reminds me of my weekend in St. Kitts for some reason.



However, I think the emotional craving has been satisfied. Now I just notice that by starting my morning with white carbs, I feel off for the rest of the day. I think I'm going back to my protein shake tomorrow morning.

And just a final picture before I sign off on this random update:

My friend Amy took me to a cute dessert place a few days ago: Cafe Princess near Yonge and Finch on the second floor of another restaurant. The fondue we shared was alright, but I'd go just for the environment. It's very girly, though. There's rose print couches everywhere and little white Christmas lights everywhere. It made me happy, having a good girl chat in a place like that. Amy and I both mistook random people as servers though-- I don't think they were pleased. Uniforms!!!
