(4) Fri May 06 2005 12:26 PST Restaurant Review: Watercress on Valencia. A little pricey: $20 for three-course menu. They do one flavor really well: an earthy butteriness that was detected in beets, candied nuts, mushrooms, and chicken. Maybe it was just butter, but how do you get butter into a cube of beet?

Big problems setting portion expectations. We got salads and they were tiny (and tasty). Then the entrees were enormous (and tasty, though a little salty). We held off on the entrees so we'd have room for dessert, and then the desserts were tiny (and not good).

Oh, I need to review the really good place we went to in Provo. Later.

I think that beets have that earthy, sweet flavor automatically if they are not too mature.

I bought watercress seeds today. Going to plant them where the sprinklers flood.
