The Purple Cactus
On Centre Street in Jamaica Plain, you can get a huge, heavy, delicious burrito, chock full of fresh ingredients, for about $6 or $7, at The Purple Cactus. This place is so good, my brother asks us to bring home a Squash and Corn burrito and we live an hour away from the place.
I ordered a Grilled Chicken burrito with sour cream (lowfat, homemade) and guacamole. It probably weighed over a pound. I ate half for dinner, and had the rest for lunch today. The simmered black beans were great - not too mushy, a little bit of sauce. They were mixed with some brown rice, which was pretty mild in flavor but good. Not too dry, not too mushy. The guac was awesome. I know my descriptions are kind of generic - sorry. How about this: It was 1000 times better than the disappointing spinach and chicken burrito I had recently from Tortillla Sam's.
My mother loved the New Garden wrap on a wheat tortilla with grilled chicken. She also ate just half as it was HUGE.

Octoberfest Season
It's time for Octoberfest beers. I've tried 2 so far, neither winners.
Magic Hat Jinx: This is a beer packaged to entice the ladies. Pretty packaging, cute pink chick winking on the front. The beer is just okay. It leaves sort of a tangy aftertaste which I don't really like. The beer won't rot in my fridge but I probably won't buy a second sixer.
Spaten Oktoberfest: This beer was described as tasting like an octoberfest mixed with Heineken, and that's exactly what it tasted like, heavier on the Heinie than the fest. I did not enjoy it.
