Eye Level Pasadena

Tableau Vivante has some great pictures posted from this morning’s Farmers’ Market. One of the farms is selling apriums, and the way she describes them is making me salivate.

Russian banana fingerlings

We found these Russian banana fingerling potatoes at the Pasadena farmers’ market last Saturday morning, too. They were sweet. I usually toss baby potatoes with olive oil, capers, dill and salt. These didn’t need capers, and the dill was good but not quite right. If I can find these again next week, I want to try them with sage.

Ginger

Thursday night, Erin, Superspark and I went to the South Pasadena farmers’ market and then to Firefly for their farmers’ market night sangria and tapas. Is anyone out there a regular at this market or Pasadena’s Saturday morning market? I like them both, but for different things. The Saturday morning market has more variety, but the Thursday night market is a good after-work place to go and relax.
