What? Another Farmers Market? Well, this one has paella for sale

Cooking up paella at the Old Town
Farmers Market in Pasadena
Yep.  There is yet another Farmers Market.  It opened last Sunday on Holly Street between Fair Oaks and Raymond in Old Town Pasadena.  The vendors were selling all the usual stuff.  The greens, such as lettuce, looked very left over.  They were probably picked--or picked up--on Friday.  The stone fruits were okay as were the root vegetables.

I went to the market because I wanted to have a tamale for breakfast.  Unfortunately, there were no tables and I don't like to eat standing up, so no tamale for me.  And I doubt that they will be adding tables because a couple of the restaurants along Holly street were open for breakfast/brunch and they don't want the competition.

But then there was the group making and selling paella!  What a concept, paella for breakfast!

Oh, starting this Sunday, August 25th, Lula Mae, my favorite gift store at the corner of Fair Oaks and Holly, will be open during Market hours. 

One more thing:  I have a new blog, L.A. City Pix.  Take a look at it.
