Today I had to run downtown and I noticed there was a Farmer’s Market still going on at the civic center. It seems to be going all of the time. Apparently it’s a way to distract you from all the homeless hanging out down there.
Anyway, I saw these food booths and I hadn’t had lunch so I thought I would try one. Two places had long lines, one was a vegetarian place and the other was a tamale place. So as you guessed I went straight to the vegetarian place, not! In true Hispanic carnivore action, I headed straight for the tamales. I hoped they were worth the wait, I had to walk a couple of blocks to my car and then drive back to the studio before I could eat them. So how were they you ask?
Drum roll please………. One had no flavor and the other was really good. The one with no flavor was the red pork tamale (pictured below). Thank heavens for the green sauce, that’s the only thing that saved this tamale.
When I opened the chicken tamale I was expecting the worst but I was pleasantly surprised. It had a good flavor and didn’t need the all saving green sauce.
The reason I was downtown was to buy tickets for the “Jersey Boys” show. It’s back in town and Christine and I wanted to see it.
Here’s the deal: Christine never reads this blog, so the first one to tell her that she is going to the show doesn’t have to watch the kids (offer is void if you are my mother-in-law).
