OB Farmers Market

It's Wednesday. You know what that means. OB farmers market day! Holy Green Drink I love this market. Its every Wednesday from 4-8 on the 4900 block of Newport, between Cable & Bacon Street.
Why, might you ask,  is the OB market steps above the sea of farmers markets we are lucky enough to have in our amazing city? Two Words. Ocean Beachers.
You've got to love the eclectic mix that roams Newport Street. One minute you're tripping over an eight year old and the next you find yourself in the sage smoke cloud surrounding a man dressed in a full-on sergeant pepper costume. 
Today I went more to munch than stock up (trader joes got the best of me yesterday...never go grocery shopping hungry!)
The Smell of Annel & Drews Kitchen lured me towards their stand. They have a number of veggie dishes, as well as meat options. One whiff of the balsamic roasted artichoke and I was sold.



Then I found a little stand selling tacos and tamales and ordered a Chile Relleno Taco with mango salsa...enough said.
Talia and Alex opted for Tamales from Gourmet Tamales in Oceanside and even bought a bag to take home and freeze.

Then I stocked up on my Butt Naked and Pussy incense (both surprisingly smell fantastic...i was shocked too)
20 sticks for a dollar
Got my usual Green Drink...
