Harvest, etc.

Lots of eating over the weekend. Hit trusted Fajitas & Ritas on Friday night, and for the first time since I can remember I didn't have a 'rita. Now I have a craving for one. Mom came into the city Saturday, and we had lunch at 75 Chestnut, which is Beacon Hill's best kept secret. Oops.

On Saturday night, after several weeks of colds and other distractions, Heather and I had our Christmas date. We caught a movie at the Brattle Theatre in Harvard Square, where they were holding a "celebration of Werner Herzog". Hurray Werner! We both celebrated Werner by falling asleep during his "The Wild Blue Yonder", which was actually a very cool visually poetic science fiction film, just very slow.

The Brattle Theatre is a fantastic little independent theater with an incredibly diverse film offering. Check this article for some background and history. Unfortunately they face closing unless they raise a lot of money by the end of February to pay their lease and stay open. Support them!

Harvest, located on a little alley off Brattle Street, was excellent. Four stars. I ordered Salmon with cauliflower, tangerine, and wheat something or other mixed together, it was quite unique and pefectly prepared. I'm looking forward to a return visit in the spring when we can check out their patio, but I should make a reservation for that now...
