Atchison Farmers’ Market
Market E-Newsletter for Saturday, August 3, 2013
8 a.m. to 12 noon
Can you believe it is the first Saturday in August? Summer is going too fast!
Today we will have three fundraisers at the Market: 1) the Atchison Art Association; 2) Traveling Tigers (Washington, D.C.) and 3) Traveling Tigers (Great Britain). Please go by their tables to see what they have to offer and talk about their plans.
Lyn Hoffman will be giving away the fourth Bundle Give Away this morning. Don’t forget to register for the September Give Away at Lyn’s stand.
Honey buyers: Chuck Elias has come to the end of his early supply of honey. He will have “new” honey again at the end of August after he “robs” the hives. In case you need honey in the meantime, the Mt. St. Scholastica gift store has local honey available from their hives.
Musicians are welcome to play and sign at the Market. Just call me so I can advertise for you (913 709 5050).

4 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
3 zucchini (about 1 1/2 pounds)
2 yellow squash (about 3/4 pound)
1 garlic clove, peeled
1/2 cup packed fresh basil leaves
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
3 ounces part-skim mozzarella cheese, cut into 1/4-inch cubes

Cover and chill 2 hours or overnight. 2. Bring a small pan of water to a boil; add garlic. Remove with a slotted spoon after 1 minute. Rinse under cold water; set aside. Add basil to boiling water; immediately remove and rinse under cold water. Reserve 1 tablespoon of cooking liquid.
