If you see this early enough on Tuesday, consider having dinner at MARY'S MARKET & CAFE in Sierra Madre Canyon, where you can enjoy the acoustic guitar and vocal stylings of "SANTA STEVE" VARGAS (pictured with me below.) Yeah, some of you have seen this photo before - but hey - that was so two years ago, and isn't it worth seeing again?
And a word about what used to be known as "Taco Tuesday" at Mary's: new owners Carolyn & Jeff Dapper have gone international gourmet and are now serving different menu items each week, thus the new name, "TAPAS TUESDAY" which means little dishes in Spanish. But don't think you won't be satisfied. We shared all three selections last week and were stuffed and happy! Oh and, not to mention the chocolate chip cookies, hot & gooey right outta the oven!
More details below...
