Before or after you do your market shopping, treat yourself to a 10-minute chair massage at the Elated Harmonies Massage tent.

For a small fee, you will receive a deeply relaxing chair massage of your neck, shoulders and back from Nora, a registered Maryland massage practitioner, who is now a regular vendor at our market.Nora, who founded Elated Harmonies Massage soon after graduating the Potomac Massage Institute of Washington in 2012, has extensive training in anatomy, physiology, and additional certifications in hot stone and Ayurvedic spa and bodywork.

Her philosophy is that “the power of touch can restore, relieve and renew,” as she says on her website at http://www.elatedharmoniesmassage.com/.

Need Bread?
Unfortunately, our much beloved bread vendor, Christelle of Cresthill Bakery, will not be at the market this coming Saturday, August 23 or next Saturday, August 30. However, don’t worry, she will return to her spot on September 6.

Recipe of the Week: Tomato Pie

Prep Time: 20 minutes; Cook Time: 40 minutes; Yield: 6 to 8 slices

Ingredients:
4 medium tomatoes, Salt, 1 regular pie crust
3/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 cups mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, 3 garlic cloves, minced, 8 to 10 basil leaves, chopped (or 1 teaspoons dried basil)

Instructions:
Thinly slice the tomatoes and salt them. Place them in a strainer or on a cooling rack to allow the salt to draw out some of the moisture.

Bake the pie crust per the instructions and cool.

Preheat the oven to 350° F.

In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and minced garlic. Stir well and set aside.

Return to the tomatoes and use paper towels to blot them well to remove the excess moisture. Layer the tomatoes and chopped basil in the pie crust. Spread the cheese mixture over the top.

Bake for about 40 minutes or until the topping is golden brown. [Source]

Highlighting HFM Board Members

Although some of the board members would like to remain anonymous, our fearless leader, who will go un-named, asked the newsletter editor to spotlight each member, beginning with herself.

The HFM board voted Janis Oppelt (in lovely balloon hat below) as its secretary and newsletter editor for one primary reason—she can write, and, in fact, she writes for a living and actually likes it (usually).

You will see her at the market, buying a little of what she wants from each farmer and trying (but usually failing) not to buy another beautiful piece of jewelry from Betty Gailes, owner of Ear Gear, like the one below.
