Good evening!  Having a good Wednesday?

We’re out at a completely mis-named spot: La Hacienda.  Sounds Mexican, right? It’s a great old-fashioned neighborhood bar and Italian restaurant in Somerville.  They have THE BEST GARLIC BREAD!  They put that boursin cheesy spread and toast it in the pizza oven.  YUM!

Me next?
