A TASTE OF
Summer
BUILD A WHOLE MEAL AT THE FARMERS MARKET
The long-awaited summer in New England brings brings fresh fruits and vegetables, and for many there’s no better place to find them than farmers markets. And that’s not all the goodness you can find at these seasonal markets — there are locally raised meats, cheeses and all kinds of sweet treats, too. Many of the Seacoast area’s farmers markets kicked off their season in early June and will take place through October or November. For Cole Gove, the market manager of the Seacoast Growers Association, which hosts the area’s farmers markets, you can taste the difference. Imagine biting into a SEACOAST SCENE | JUNE 21 - 27, 2018 | PAGE 6

locally grown tomato at the peak of summer. It’s juicy, it’s sweet and maybe even warm from the summer sun. A tomato you find at the grocery store, especially in the winter, is more likely to be a pale red, its texture grainy, and the flavor rather bland. But farmers markets bring more than just locally grown food. Aside from a healthier and more flavorful option, Gove said that markets offer a special kind of connection. “I think it’s important because it ties you in to your community,” Gove said. People are able to connect with farmers, and learn how their produce is grown, or how their meat is raised. John Forti, the executive director of Bedrock Gardens, a
public garden in Lee, believes that knowing where your food came from is important. “When we make that connection to an actual farmer, who has become a steward of a landscape, and we’re eating from our local environment, it means we’re better stewards of our water quality, and our air quality, and our soil quality,” Forti said. Forti is one of the founders of Slow Food Seacoast, the local chapter of Slow Food U.S.A., a movement that works toward a healthier food system by making local foods more readily available to communities. With all there is to offer at farmers markets, people can build entire meals with
fresh and local ingredients — like fish tacos with locally caught fish and fresh veggies, or a salad made with fresh greens. To satisfy a sweet tooth, try making a homemade strawberry rhubarb crumble. The options are endless. Read on for meal suggestions and recipes.
THE MAIN DISH
There is a large variety of locally raised meats at the market — by land anything from chicken to bison, and by sea from lobster to monkfish. And for those who don’t eat meat, mushrooms are an excellent substitute. “When we go to farmers markets, 7
6 it’s that connection to health. It’s cooking the things that seasons inspire instead of eating stuff from freezer cases and cans,” Forti said. “You’re reminded that it’s rhubarb season now.” Being on the Seacoast, for many, means eating fresh seafood. Good news: It can be found at many of the area’s farmers markets. New Hampshire Community Seafood is a group of New Hampshire fishermen that provides locally sourced seafood, promotes sustainable fishing practices, and supports the communities that depend on healthy practices. Andrea Tomlinson, the general manager of New Hampshire Community Seafood, said they feature “a catch of the week” and offer haddock at the farmers markets, along with scallops, lobsters and oysters (which are based on seasonal availability). On the seacoast, market goers can find them at the Portsmouth and Exeter farmers markets.
Tomlinson said fish tacos are an excellent way to prepare fish because they’re so versatile — people can make them with a white fish like haddock, or something obscure. For example, their recent catch of the week was monkfish. “You can do tacos with any fish,” she said. At Hackmatack Farm in Berwick, Maine, which attends Seacoast farmers markets, they raise grass-fed American bison, and offer anything from bison patties to bison liver. Shelby Guptill, one of the owners of the farm, said bison can be used in place of beef in any recipe. The meat requires less time and a lower temperature to cook, because the meat is so lean. Their website recommends cooking bison in a third less time, with heat a third lower. Guptill said that although the price of locally raised meat tends to be higher, she finds the exponentially lower price 8

Wash and trim asparagus. Cut into 3/4-inch lengths. Cook in boiling, salted water until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain asparagus and submerge in ice water to stop cooking. Set aside. In a medium-size oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over moderate heat. Add onion, sugar and salt; reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is golden brown and very tender, about 30 minutes. Remove onion from the pan with tongs, leaving as much oil in the pan as possible. Let onion sit 10 minutes, until no longer hot. In a large bowl, whisk eggs until smooth. Add cheese, pepper, asparagus and onion. Set the skillet over medium heat. Add egg mixture, stirring briefly to distribute fillings. Reduce heat to low and let mixture cook slowly; you should see just a few lazy bubbles popping up around the edges. Cook undisturbed until edges are set but middle is still very liquid, about 8 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat your broiler on high. Transfer skillet to oven, positioning it 3 to 4 inches from the broiler. Cook until top of frittata is golden brown, edges are puffed, and center is just set (it will jiggle slightly but pop right back after you poke it), about 2 minutes. Don’t overcook it! Loosen with a spatula, if needed. Remove to a warmed platter and serve immediately. 7 of meat from large-scale farms to be more concerning, noting that she recently saw chicken on sale at a store for less than 50 cents a pound. To her, the price reflects how the meat was raised. “It tells a story about how it’s made,” she said. Locally raised chickens and farm-fresh eggs are in abundance at Seacoast farmers markets. Vernon Family Farm in Newfields raises chickens and grows a variety of mushrooms and vegetables. Their
chickens are pasture-raised and come in different cuts, including chicken sausage in flavors like curry, hot Italian, maple and chorizo, according to the farm’s website. It’s the mushrooms, however, that Alex Chase, the farm’s market manager, raved about. Vernon Family Farm, he said, offers blue oyster mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms, and they have phoenix mushrooms later in the season. But get to the farmers market early, because the mushrooms sell out fast. “Mushrooms,” Chase said, “you sauté them up and they go well on anything. Put them on a salad, put them on a burger, or an omelet.” Chase offered instructions for cooking shiitake mushrooms or oyster mushrooms: “If you cut them up into small pieces and sauté them in butter at high heat for 10 minutes, to release all of the moisture,” Chase said, “and at the last minute add a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, it really gives them a good flavor.” And if you’re in the mood for some vegan bacon, Chase recommended slicing oyster mushrooms into strips and baking them at 350 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes with oil and salt. “It converts people who are afraid of mushrooms into mushroom lovers,” he said. Aside from mushrooms, there is such an abundance of fresh produce at Seacoast farmers markets that vegetarians and vegans have endless options for main dishes. Asparagus, according to Seacoast Harvest, a local food guide, is one of the first veggies to pop up, between May and June, and was in full force at the farmers market in Portsmouth in early June. Summer squash and zucchini are available in the warmer months of July, August and early September. Try an asparagus frittata made with fresh asparagus and local eggs, or vegetarian crab cakes with zucchini from your 10 market.

There’s an abundance of fresh produce that makes delicious summer side dishes, and at farmers markets, what’s offered varies seasonally. According to Seacoast Harvest, May welcomes radishes, asparagus, spinach, lettuce and other kinds of greens. Carrots, beets, Swiss chard, peas and onions follow in June. July sees tomatoes, green beans, broccoli, cucumbers, peppers, cabbage, kale, summer squash and zucchini. In August, there’s corn, eggplant and garlic. Stephanie Hollister, who is 23 years old, is a third-generation farmer at Hollister Family Farm. She believes it’s important for people to know where and how their food is grown. “Not a lot of people are aware of how things are grown,” 23-year-old Hollister, one of the younger farmers at the markets, said. “For example, Brussels sprouts,
I never knew they were grown on a stalk until we started growing them. It’s good for people to know where their food comes from.” As for growing food, she said, “it’s a lost art.” Josh Jennings, of the Stratham-based farm Meadows Mirth, said they focus on growing greens. They make their own salad mix, which they call the “Mirthful Mix,” that varies seasonally. “We try to make the best salad mix we can,” Jennings said. The mix is composed of more traditional things like lettuce, in addition to more unique greens like mizuna, a mild mustard green, and bok choy, which is a type of cabbage. Those, Jennings said, give the mix “a little bit of spice” but don’t make it taste bitter. Oh, and they add edible flowers. “That’s another thing that’s really special with our mix,” Jennings said. So for a quick and easy, go-to side this summer, try a salad of some kind — a Mirthful Mix salad, tossed with a freshly made salad dressing, or a potato salad with local potatoes, or a pasta salad made with fresh vegetables. 13

All that healthy eating ought to be rewarded with something sweet. Baked goods and tasty treats are readily available at local farmers markets, which boast vendors like 45 Market Street Bakery and Cafe in Somersworth. The bakery sets up shop and offers mouth-watering items like scones, tea breads, lemon bread and coffee bread. Their whoopie pies are the best in the nation — so said Guy Fieri of The Food Network, according to baker Albert Weston. “Everything is made from scratch, and we use local ingredients whenever possible,” Weston said. Stop by Sugarmomma’s Maple Farm stand at the farmers market for all kinds of locally made sweets. Debra Locke, better known as “Sugarmomma,” makes New Hampshire maple syrup by tapping the Northwood, New Hampshire, farm’s maple trees in the spring. Sugarmomma’s table is decorated in maple everything. There’s the infamous maple candy, some in the shape of a lobster, New England’s beloved crustacean. “Absolutely, we’re the Seacoast,” Locke said of the lobster-shaped candy. But the main attraction is the maple ice cream, served from a soft-serve machine where the maple syrup is mixed in with the ice cream. It’s by far their most popular

farmers market item, she said. And there’s more. She has maple cotton candy, which often is sold out by the end of the day. In addition, she has all kinds of maple-coated nuts like cashews, peanuts and walnuts, as well as maple popcorn and, of course, bottles of local maple syrup. And if sweets must be avoided, fruit is always a great option for dessert. Rhubarb kicks the season off for fruits (yes, it’s a fruit!) in May, followed by strawberries in June, and raspberries and blueberries in July. Peaches and watermelon follow, along with the beginning of apple season, in August. If you’re feeling daring, try making a dessert from scratch with as many fresh ingredients as possible — or maybe even a sangria if you’re thirsty. 14

Ryan Tuttle, of Riverside Farm Stand and Greenhouse in North Berwick, Maine, said he’s committed to farming and supporting farmers markets because he wants to do it “the right way.” Globally, agriculture causes a lot of problems, according to Tuttle, who is the president of the Seacoast Growers Association. It has been detrimental to both human health and environmental health, he said, creating dead zones from fertilizer runoff, allowing the mistreatment of animals, and draining aquifers. Instead, by supporting your local farmers markets, you are supporting healthy and sustainable farming practices that benefit your community. “There’s a lot of problems caused by agriculture,” Tuttle said. “So, being a part of it, and doing it the right way — tending to the land and marketing locally — can help to ameliorate those problems.”

Grease an 8-cup muffin tin. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda. Stir in the finely chopped rhubarb. In a medium bowl, mix together the maple syrup, yogurt, egg, melted butter and vanilla. Stir into the flour mixture, just to combine. Do not overmix. Spoon into prepared muffin tin and bake until a toothpick comes out clean, about 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool in pan for 3 minutes before removing. Makes 8 muffins.

2 cups flour 1 teaspoon cinnamon ½ teaspoon baking soda ½ cup butter ½ cup brown sugar milk, to taste 1 egg 4 ounces honey
powdered sugar Preheat oven to 425 degrees. First sieve together the flour, cinnamon and baking soda. In a separate bowl, cream the butter and sugar. Then separate the egg yolk from the white, beating the yolk into the butter-sugar mixture. Add the honey to this gradually, and stir in the flour with just enough milk to keep it all held together lightly (it should be stirrable but thick). Whisk the egg white into a stiff froth and fold into the above batter. Half-fill into well-greased muffin tins, allowing the batter to mound in the middle. Bake for about 20 minutes. If you like, sprinkle a little more powdered sugar over the tops. Allow to cool before serving.

PEOPLE AND PLACES
GABBY MARTIN ACOUSTIC MUSICIAN
Gabby Martin is an acoustic musician and singer living in Rochester and playing throughout the Seacoast. She considers herself a pure acoustic indie artist who finds inspiration for her music while helping her community. Martin is playing at the Neighborhood Beer Co. in Exeter on Thursday, June 28.
Was it intimidating to perform on the streets of Portsmouth early on? That’s called busking when you perform on the streets. I started doing that my freshman year of college, which is five years ago now. ... It’s a little overwhelming and it’s a little intimidating and I think that had a really big impact on my music because it allowed me to get comfortable and know that when you can make somebody stop on the street and pay attention, it gives you confidence. That was a big confidence booster for me as a performer to know that I had something valuable.
How does busking compare with a stage performance? It’s a different feel than performing. With performing, it’s kind of a stable environment. What I love about Portsmouth is the engagement with so many different people at once and it’s more of a direct connection than performing. People can stop and talk to you right away, whereas in a restaurant, that happens over a period of time. Sometimes I like to switch it up to keep performing interesting.
primarily guitarists or bassists or play one instrument because for me it’s always been a tool to be able to use my voice.
Gabby Martin. Photos courtesy of Victor Burgett.
What motivated you to stick with learning an instrument? I’m primarily a vocalist. I’ve always naturally had a strong voice. When I was in high school I got to the point where I didn’t always have friends to play for me so I picked up the guitar mainly so that I could sing by myself. If I had just a guitar, I wouldn’t be motivated to sit and play and to practice. I really admire people who are
What influence did going to church have on your music and how did you transition into playing acoustic indie-rock? I started writing with Christian lyrics with faith-related topics. I think a lot of my music is more reflective. It’s more about the heart of life, where I want to pursue my faith, where I want to pursue things that I think are important. In that way, I try to put a deeper thought process behind my music. It was always hard for me to put myself in a category for what my music sounds like. I really love folk but I just play the acoustic guitar and am self-taught so a lot of my music is more stripped down acoustic folk rock because that’s the skill set that I have. When I play naturally, that’s where I fall. SEACOAST SCENE | JUNE 21 - 27, 2018 | PAGE 17
Where did you go to college and what did you study? I went to Gordon College in Wenham, Mass. I studied social work and I’m actually a social worker now. So I am a part-time musician and full-time social worker. My mom is pretty involved in the community; she’s now a principal at Spaulding [High School]. When I was in middle school and high school, she was working as a high school teacher. She was with a group called Interact, which is a service group connected with the Rotary. When I did that I found that I get great pleasure in serving people. During that time we did a lot of soup kitchens and I was really energized by that human interaction. ... Through that I found that was a part of me that I needed to pursue for a bigger purpose. How do you define success during a performance? It’s never the same thing. I have a lot of successes where a young kid is really excited by my music. That’s a success for me. Even if nobody else that night seems
super-interested. If there’s a teenage girl who thinks that my music is cool and I feel is a little encouraged or a little bit more excited about music, that can mean a success for me. I think little interactions build over time in the gig and that energizes me.
What time of day do lyrics most easily come to you? When I’m trying to fall asleep. Any time that’s inconvenient. If I’m falling asleep or a lot of times it’s when I’m in the community, when I’m around people, driving. I’m a busy person. I’m a caseworker for social work so I’m constantly moving and constantly thinking about something. So maybe when I’m driving lyrics ring a little bit truer. When I have the chance and I’m not driving, I’ll just type it out on my phone in the notes section and I’ll come back to it maybe even months later and at least I’ve done the due diligence of recording that thought.
If you could jam with one musician dead or alive, who would it be and why? In the past I’ve had to struggle with jamming because I never considered myself a guitarist until most recently. Guitar is an instrument that for me took a long time to get good at. So all my friends can hear by ear and things like that and I never had that. I’m a humble person so I never gave myself the benefit of the doubt of being able to keep up with them, even if I could. Maybe Carly Simon. I have a lot of respect for her lyrics and her music, her story and how her personal story has impacted the music she has written.
Where do you see yourself in 10 years musically or personally? I really struggle with that because throughout my life it’s kind of been this back and forth of, I’m a musician but I’m also someone who is involved in various fields. I have these dual jobs and dual loves. During different times I fall heavier on each one. I would definitely love for a time to pursue just music. I think having local gigs has shown me that that might be a possibility in my life. That’s been an excitement this last year to consider. But I know that there’s a part of me that always wants to have a philanthropic focus in some area of my life. — Ethan Hogan

interesting, especially as a coach myself, just to see the level of play between all of the different divisions.” Teams of two from ages 9 and up will be competing in the festivities in sects divided amongst squads consisting of boys, girls, men, women and coed groups as well as as being divided through experience level into gold, silver and bronze divisions. The theme for this year’s tournament is neon, and the teams with the most creative and innovative regalia will be featured on Spike University publicity and social media.
The tournament will be played under USAV format where games will be played to 15 or 21 points. Eight different age groups ranging from U-12 (competitors under 12 years of age) to adult will be competing in each of this year’s
event, and top finishers will receive a special invitation to the New England Invitational, a tournament consisting of the best teams across the region, and a ranking on the SpikeU New England ranking chart. The top four teams in each division will make the playoff bracket unless a quarterfinal match is needed. Gold, silver and bronze awards will also go to the first-, second- and third-place winners of each classification. If an age group is filled, newly registered teams will be asked to play up a division. Gerrior pointed out that volleyball can be a lifelong sport. He said many players start very young. “At SpikeU we start at age 9, but we have kids even starting younger, trying to get into private lessons,” he said. And regardless of whether they’ve been playing their whole lives or found the sport later on, older players can have just as much fun. “I play with someone personally who is 67 years old and I know for a fact that there are still people who are older that currently play,” Gerrior said. “It is definitely a sport that anyone, male, female, any age, you can just go out there and have a great time. What’s better than being out in the beautiful weather, right on the beach and playing volleyball?” To sign up and be a part of this year’s tournament, visit the Spike University website and sign up today. The price is $40 per player. Registration closes Thursday, June 21, for the June 23 tournament, but if you miss that, there’s plenty of time to sign up for the July 29 event. — Andrew Clay

Whether you want to play beach volleyball or just watch it, Hampton Beach will host two tournaments this summer that will let you kick back and relax or get into the game. Spike University, a volleyball association dedicated to encouraging youth and adults across New England to enjoy the sport of beach volleyball, will be making two stops at Hampton Beach along the regional tour this summer. On Saturday, June 23, and Sunday, July 29, the sandy coastline of Hampton Beach will play host to the The New England Open and The New England Summer Slam, respectively. The tournaments begin at 8:30 a.m. and will conclude at 3:30 p.m. Spike University hosts beach volleyball tournaments for juniors and also adults all over New England, according to SpikeU owner Melanie Gerrior. “When we’re at Hampton, it is a very fun-filled day, especially for the juniors. They come out super-excited and ready to dive into beach volleyball,” she said. “We have music blasting the entire time. You get to meet so many new people. Especially with the volleyball community being fairly small in general, once you get to know somebody you’ll get to see them at all sorts of different tournaments. It is a lot of fun, for sure. It is basically just a fun-filled day of playing as many games as possible.” This open tournament will provide the opportunity for those interested to both participate and soak in the exciting and competitive appeal of a sport that is rapidly growing in popularity and to enjoy the family-friendly festivities. Spend the day at the beach and stop by to cheer on your favorite teams made up of family, friends and neighbors as they compete for top prizes. “It is a great time for the families to come out. Parents get to sit back, watch their daughters or sons and enjoy a great game,” Gerrior said. “It is a great opportunity for the kids to get outside as well. Anyone is more than welcome to watch — there will be a lot of families around, and even if you’re just stopping by [for part of the day], it is great to watch.” The day will start out as poolplay and from there it transitions to playoff style. Gerrior said the games are “super-competitive.” “You’ll be able to see the teams that are leading on our leaderboard, and it is a great environment to watch some great competition, especially when you get into watching the adult leagues,” she said. “It is really

CAR TALK
Man’s driving habits grind wife’s gears Dear Car Talk: Lately, when my husband is behind the wheel, a couple of his habits have been driving me nuts (as a retiree, I have nothing else to think about when By Ray Magliozzi we’re on the road). My husband puts the car in park, turns off the engine and then removes his foot from the brake. Then the car will roll slightly until the transmission is locked into place. Whereas I put the car in park, take my foot off the brake to engage the transmission and then turn off the engine. I think his way needlessly crunches the gears. He says either way is the same. Is there a correct way to turn off a car? Also, he will — albeit gently — bump into the concrete barrier at the end of a parking space before stopping. I stop before running into the barrier. Again, he says it doesn’t matter. Is there a right or wrong call on this issue? According to my husband’s opinion of my car knowledge, it is beyond reason that I am doing things correctly and he is not. However, I promise to let him read your response, even if it proves that he’s been right all along. — Sandy Oh, Sandy, you must be Fred’s wife. I
got a letter from him last week complaining about your driving. The truth is, neither one of you is doing anything terribly wrong. When turning off the car, I actually recommend that you put the car in park, then apply the parking brake. And then take your foot off the brake pedal and turn off the ignition. That keeps the car from rolling those few inches while the transmission engages the parking pawl. Letting it roll until the parking pawl engages really isn’t harmful, but if you park on a steep enough hill, it sometimes can be hard to get the car out of park when you want to drive away. If you start the car, put it in gear and then release the parking brake, you’ll never have that problem. So let’s call that one even, and maybe you both can adopt this new habit. I can see how banging into the concrete curbstone can be annoying, but at very low speed, it also isn’t doing any real damage — no more than going over a small bump, which the car can easily handle. But because you have better spatial awareness than Fred does, you’re able to stop the car short of the curbstone and spare him from bouncing forward in his seat. We prefer your way, but your husband is not harming the car by touching the curbstone.
I think the real solution, Sandy, is for you to tune out more while Fred is driving. I’m going to suggest that you look into meditation. And podcasts. Dear Car Talk: I have a 2017 RAM 2500 four-wheeldrive truck that started emitting a whining sound. I took it in to the dealer, and after two weeks they called and said that several techs drove my truck all over town and did in fact hear the whining, but in their opinion it is normal for “those heavy-duty differentials.” I bought the vehicle new, and it has just 11,800 miles on it. It started making the noise only about 3,000 miles ago. Should I accept their opinion, or take it for a second opinion? Have you ever heard of such a thing? — Joaquin Oh, I’ve heard of such a thing. And I know exactly what it is: It’s worn or mismatched ring-and-pinion gears in the differential. It’s a common problem in older vehicles. The differential will make a whining or howling noise either on acceleration or on deceleration. Rarely on both. But we usually don’t see it until the car gets to 90,000 or 100,000 miles. And once the noise starts, it tends to
drive the owners of those vehicles cuckoo. Since you’re writing to me, I’m going to assume you have now met that definition. Assuming that all of your differential fluid didn’t leak out, it shouldn’t happen on a brand-new truck, Joaquin. And while it’s possible that all 2017 RAM 2500s have whining differentials (and if they do, I think the public would like to know about it), it’s more likely that yours is faulty. Here’s what you should do: Go back to the dealer and ask him if it’s his opinion that “they all do this.” If he says “yes,” ask him to take a ride with you in another RAM 2500 that he has on the lot. I’m guessing that the other new RAM 2500 you drive won’t have a differential whine. In which case, they don’t all do that. And RAM owes you a differential. If the other RAMs you drive do make a whining sound, then next time you should test drive a Ford, Chevy and Toyota to see if they also all do that (hint: they don’t), and buy one of those instead. Be polite but firm. I think they’re trying to get rid of you, when the right thing to do would be to fix your brand-new truck, which has a warranty for exactly this reason. Good luck, Joaquin.

AT TRIPOLI PIZZA AND BAKERY The Seabrook location of Tripoli Pizza and Bakery may only be 10 years old, but the Zappala family has been serving up fresh bread for nearly a century. They expanded to include pizza in the ’40s, a recipe that many hail as the best “beach pizza” around. Matt Zappala sat down to tell us more about the business — which now spans four generations — including what inspired the family to open their Seabrook location, what it takes to run a successful business, and more. Photos provided by Matthew Zappala.
How long has Tripoli Pizza and Bakery been around? About 10 years [in Seabrook], but we’ve been in Salisbury for almost 70 years. It’s a family business, Tripoli has been in our family since the ’20s in Lawrence [Massachusetts]. We started the bakery-style pizza in Lawrence. In 1946, our family used to go to the beach to vacation, and they saw an opportunity to work and try to make some money because [business] was so slow in the city at that time of year. What makes Tripoli unique? We are a bakery that makes and sells a bakery-style pizza. Our style of pizza sets us apart from other pizzas; our pizza is old bakery style, thin, crisp crust, square-pan pizza, handmade [using] the highest-quality ingredients and no preservatives. And the freshness of our pizza — we prepare it to order, we mix the dough throughout the day — we don’t buy frozen dough or let dough [sit] for a long time, it’s fresh dough. We hand-roll the pizza and we make it to order. We have a unique texture crust and flavor, and we use high-quality ingredients, we
don’t skimp or use things with fillers. We use quality ingredients that give [our pizza] the rich flavor that it has. Besides our pizza, we also have fresh baked handrolled breads, cream pastries, cakes, macaroon cookies…. What is your personal favorite dish? My personal favorite is a slice with pepperoni, onions, peppers and mushrooms. I get dessert with that — I get a lobster tail or a whoopie pie. The lobster tail is crunchy, creamy, rich Italian pastry. What is a dish everyone should try? Besides the pizza, our cheesecake is very popular, very good. The other thing that is very popular is [our] ricotta cannoli. A box of eight with extra provolone and some cannoli, and that makes everybody’s day. A good summer day at the beach. What is an essential skill to running a restaurant? You need to have a passion to make a great product that your customers are looking for to keep them coming back.
There’s a lot that goes into that passion — hard work and consistency. Manage a great team, [get them to be] passionate, dedicated, and consistent with making great products. When you have a great customer base and they like your product, that’s what keeps you going, that provides the fire for the passion. We’re fortunate to be able to serve all those customers for so many years, and hopefully we can continue to do it. And we thank the [customers] for keeping us in business for that amount of time. Our family, loyal customers, and great employees are what keep us going.
time off, and it’s nice to be part of people’s vacation time and to serve them a great product that they can enjoy. People who come to visit us are here to enjoy the Seacoast and what it has to offer, and we’re glad to be part of that. — Alison Downs
What is your favorite part of being on the Seacoast? I love the Seacoast and being near the ocean. A lot of the customers that come in are on vacation. People are there to have fun and enjoy their

Beet chips I recently purchased a kitchen tool that is going to change my life. Am I being dramatic? Yes. Do I feel like this is absolutely appropriate? Of course. For some weird reason I spent 35 years of my life without owning a proper mandoline. Now that I have this magical kitchen tool, I feel like the world is my oyster. Not only does my mandoline slice even the toughest vegetables in perfect, thin forms, but it also does a mean julienne. It saves my wrists from the effort and gives me back so much time! It’s also making vegetables that rarely appealed to me taste like the best things ever. Beets are one of those vegetables I’ve never been into. They feel like a lot of work to prep and I’ve never been crazy about the taste. Until now. Do you know that you can make chips out of pretty much anything by using a mandoline, a little oil and your oven? I knew but I didn’t really know — because if I really had known I could make delicious chips out of every healthy vegetable ever, I would have gotten myself one of these magical tools way sooner. Beets are incredibly healthy. They contain naturally occurring nitrates, which increase blood flow to your brain. Beets could make you smarter, basically. I feel like Dwight Schrute was holding out on me. (You’ll know what I mean if you’re a fan of The Office.) Health magazine also advocates for beets because of their immune-boosting properties.

The moral of this story is, if you don’t like a certain kind of (really) healthy food, figure out a way to cook it so that you do like it. Slicing things up thinly and roasting them into chip form is about the easiest and tastiest way to enjoy just about anything — even beets! — Allison Willson Dudas

Preheat oven to 350. Using a mandoline, slice beets evenly into pieces about 1/16 inch thick. Lay in a single layer on oiled parchment paper. Bake in oven for about 20 minutes, being sure to check on them repeatedly as they can brown and burn easily due to their thinness.

The summer weather is here and that means it is a great time for margaritas. I really like margaritas, but sometimes when I go to make them I discover that I do not have all the necessary ingredients. Enter Fabrizia’s Italian Margarita, which is ready to drink out of the bottle. But even better, they now offer their Italian Margarita in cans, perfect for summer activities. I’ve tried other pre-mixed margaritas and found them to have a fake lime taste, be too sweet or give me a bad stomach ache. But both the Fabrizia offerings are impressively unlike any others I have had (the bottle has 14 percent alcohol while the cans have a lighter 7 percent). I brought the bottled version to a party recently and it was a big hit. In fact, it went so quickly that I should have brought more. There are many things that make these products different, and it begins with the limoncello. I sat down recently with Phil Mastroianni, who owns and operates Fabrizia Spirits with his brother Nick. He told me how he visited Italy at age 20 with his great-aunt and that trip ultimately changed the course of his life. Phil was visiting family in 2007 and tried his cousin Angelina’s homemade limoncello, made with lemons from her property. Once he returned home, he started making his own. It was just a side gig at first, until his uncle Joe tried it and said it was “the best limoncello he had ever had.” From there, Fabrizia began to take shape, and the rest is pretty much history. “I am obsessed with Italy and have a passion for limoncello,” he said, noting they use imported lemons from Sicily in their products, making them authentically Italian. “I really got into this business for fun.” While the Fabrizia offerings have grown from just limoncello to include a blood orange liqueur and a cream liqueur, the Italian Margarita serves two purposes. It gave Fabrizia a new offering, and put to use leftover lemon zest. Phil and Nick’s sister, Jenna, had crafted a cocktail called “Jenna-Rita’s” made with Fabrizia Limoncello, homemade lemonade, and tequila, which the Mastroianni family and friends had enjoyed for a few years, especially during summer months. “A light bulb went off in my head. We could use the juice from the zested lemons that we were just disposing of anyway to make a ready-to-drink Italian Margarita,” Phil said. The canned Italian Margarita, made

with limoncello, tequila and lemonade, has been very popular ever since it hit the market. According to a company issued press release, they launched a pilot program for the canned version about a year ago, introducing six-pack cans to select at retail locations in New Hampshire and Massachusetts. The result was a resounding success, as the majority of the 23,000 cans Fabrizia produced sold out in less than three weeks. Phil said even now they can’t keep it in stock in some places. “We can’t make it fast enough,” he said. “It is refreshingly different and in very high demand.” It’s no surprise the cans are selling quickly this time of year, since they can easily be transported or packed into a cooler. They are available at many New Hampshire Liquor & Wine Outlet locations, including those in Bedford, Hooksett, Manchester and Pembroke. Phil also stressed the fact that their Italian Margarita is made with all natural ingredients (so no fake flavor here) and no preservatives. Whether out of the can or the bottle, it is ready to enjoy. Find the cans in the pre-mixed cocktails section. If margaritas aren’t your thing, you can still enjoy their products. Fabrizia has many different cocktail recipes, including those made with whiskey, gin and vodka, available on their website at fabriziaspirits.com/cocktails. I personally tried the Blood Orange Margarita, made with the blood orange liqueur, and found it refreshing and perfect for summer. — Stefanie Phillips
POP CULTURE
The Parking Lot Attendant, by Nafkote Tamirat (Henry Holt and Co., 240 pages)
When you picture what someone from Boston is like, you might think of someone who drops their “r’s” to “ah’s,” someone who’s passionate about the Red Sox and the Patriots, or someone who embodies the courage and compassion that makes them “Boston Strong.” You probably also think of someone who is white. Media lets us root for working-class Matt Damon in Good Will Hunting and sympathize the oppressed Offred in The Handmaid’s Tale, but we don’t often get that same chance with black protagonists. The novel The Parking Lot Attendant by Nafkote Tamirat features an unnamed protagonist who is a first-generation Ethiopian-American. She and her father have always skated the outskirts of Boston’s Ethiopian community, but by age 15 she wants to become more fully immersed in it. Ironically, by trying to find her place in her community, she ends up on an enigmatic island, as excluded as ever. The novel opens at the end of the story to provide a taste of the unnamed tropical island of B—, where the narrator is treated as a pariah among the island’s 20 inhabitants. They suspect she betrayed a man named Ayale, but Tamirat cleverly obfuscates how the narrator arrived under these circumstances. Tamirat teases out just enough details to pique the reader’s interest before jumping back a year or so previously to contrast the strangeness of the island with the familiarity of a small city like Boston. The narrator was born in Fall River and grows up among Boston landmarks like Copley Square, the Coolidge Corner Theatre and the South Street Diner. Other Ethiopian-Americans recognize her on the street as her father’s daughter, but she’s confused about how they could know that when she and her father rarely socialize with anyone else. For reasons that aren’t satisfactorily explained, the narrator does not have
friends who are her own age, so she is eager to befriend the group of EthiopianAmericans she always sees hanging out in a parking lot. At the center of this group is Ayale, the titular parking lot attendant, whom the reader can ascertain will later become the leader of B—. He’s one of the few adults in her life who treat her as a capable equal. He debates her on topics ranging from literature and movies to philosophy and politics, but he also makes sure she finishes her homework and reads The Boston Globe. Ayale is filling a paternal void for her disengaged father, so the narrator is stubbornly obtuse concerning her vulnerability when she befriends this middle-aged man. In this regard, Tamirat successfully captures the self-assuredness of a teenager. The narrator even says, “I recognize that some might meet Ayale and not get swept up in his spell, might find him unkempt and horrible, especially in light of what happened later, but he remains the greatest man I’ll ever know, and unlike some, I’m not ashamed to say it.” Personally, I failed to see the charisma in Ayale that the narrator is so enamored by.
Tamirat strikes an intriguing balance of showcasing the Ethiopian-American experience in Boston while simultaneously turning one of the main characters into an antagonist, but the ending feels a little flat despite the dangerous stakes. Ayale is painted as the Whitey Bulger of the Ethiopian community, a threatening outlier who takes cares of his community, and the narrator is willfully ignorant of the incriminating happenings around her. When the plot is coming to a head, the police ask the narrator, “doesn’t it strike you as slightly weird that there are so many Ethiopians working there, hanging out there, presumably for the same reason, to be a part of the community?” The narrator responds, “Why weird? Italians own everything in the North End and no one seems to care.” This would normally be a salient point to make to an officer who had internalized prejudices, but that moment is undercut by the cryptic state-
ments throughout the book that confirm Ayale’s wrongdoings. If we had more positive representations of black communities in Boston in the real world, perhaps real and fictional police officers would not jump to the conclusion that black friends hanging out in parking lots must be a gang. Unfortunately, the group in this novel is not as innocent as the narrator hopes they are, which she finds out the hard way as her path accelerates to the island of B—. The plot felt as though it would surely approach the edge of a cliff, but instead the plot just ends up scaling a hill that has been clearly laid out for the reader. What initially appears to be mystery thriller is really a literary examination of the malleability of a young woman’s identity. Nonetheless, the book is still an interesting journey. This is a strong debut novel and Tamirat’s potential as a writer is a mountain yet climbed. B — Katherine Ouellette
BOOK TALK Did you know that Frances Perkins was the first woman to serve in a cabinet position for a U.S. president? Franklin Delano Roosevelt appointed Perkins Secretary of Labor in 1933, and it would be 20 years before another woman would again be appointed to a presidential cabinet. Join the Hampton Historical Society’s History Book Group on Sunday, June 24, at 4 p.m. to discuss The Woman Behind the New Deal: The Life of Frances Perkins, FDR’s Secretary of Labor and His Moral Conscience, by Kristin Downey. “Perkins was decades, if not generations ahead of her time,” said Barbara Tosiano, who leads the book group. “She was not an elected official, but was a very influential woman in politics. She stood up for what she believed in, even though some of her causes may not have been popular.” Tosiano will bring a snack that is significant to the discussion, a dessert made with blueberries. All are welcome to attend the discussion at the Tuck Museum at 40 Park Avenue in Hampton.

Hello summer
Time to Doo Wop
Salisbury Beach kicks off concert season A tribute act that wowed the crowd last year returns to kick off a summer’s worth of free concerts on the Salisbury Beach stage, as the Country Beach Jam happens June 23. A four-act bill is topped by The Ultimate Aldean Experience, featuring look-alike Greg West working through Jason Aldean’s long list of hits. The country music undercard includes local favorites Darren Bessette Band, which has opened for national acts at nearby Blue Ocean Music Hall, rising star Jimmy Connor and The Ultra, a new band led by a familiar performer on the Seacoast, Alec MacGillivray. The latter band’s debut EP, released early this year, has an arena rock sound that reflects the melting pot country music has become — what the late Tom Petty called “rock in the middle eighties.” MacGillivray continues with his solo work — he appears every Monday through the summer at The Goat in Hampton Beach — but the new effort is an exciting departure. The late afternoon show ends with a fireworks display at sunset, and there are activities for all ages throughout the day. “It’s not just about hearing the music and seeing the fireworks; there are things for families to do,” said Kathy Aiello, who books the season’s events. “People love to stroll the boardwalk; it’s just a great experience.” There are big shows set for every Saturday through Labor Day. June 30 brings another tribute act, The Eagles Experience, with Joppa Flats playing a few days later on July 4. “They play a lot on the North Shore,” Aiello said. “We had them last Fourth of July and it was very well-received ... fun night, great cover music.” July 27, it’s a two-part party celebrating its 10th year.

singer-songwriter started playing most of his shows at Fenway Park, which doesn’t allow tailgate parties. The Blue Ocean lot fills with revelers during the day, followed by an indoor show from tribute act Changes In Latitudes. “That is truly the quintessential coastal summer experience. Jimmy Buffet on the beach — how can you go wrong?” Aiello said. “We give out a prize for the best Buffet-themed car. People just go all out … it’s a great sense of community — people who don’t know each other walking around the parking lot, sharing their homemade feast items. Then it continues inside.” Other summer shows include U2 tribute band Joshua Tree (July 7), New England blues treasure James Montgomery Band (July 14), all-star Fab Four cover act Beatlejuice (July 28), Salisbury Beach favorites B Street Bombers (Aug. 4), percussion powerhouse Entrain (Aug. 11) and good-timey Freevolt (Aug. 18). All shows starts at 7:30 p.m. Also returning is The Ramble, Adam Ezra Group’s all-day fundraiser for homeless veterans, which happens Aug. 25. Closing things out on Labor Day weekend is Aero-

chix, an all-female Aerosmith tribute band. “They are just phenomenal. It’s so fun,” Aiello said. “They’ve nailed it.” A regular Friday night event is a DJ Beach Party with Ralphie B’s Oldies Rock & Roll Show, a family friendly affair with hulahoops, limbo and dancing (see sidebar). The Outreach Concert Series features Christian music performers and happens every Wednesday night from June 27 through Aug. 23. All events begin at 7 p.m. Joining in the fun for the opening event will be talent from country music station WOKQ, with plenty happening before Jimmy Connor plays the first song of the day. “They’ll be introducing the show and doing some fun giveaways,” Aiello said. “An afternoon and evening of music, followed by the first fireworks show of the season. ... It’s a great way to kick off summer for the people of New England.” — Michael Witthaus
Take a walk down memory lane every Friday night starting June 22 at Salisbury Beach with DJ Ralphie B and his Rock & Roll Oldies Doo Wop show. RB Entertainment will be returning for the sixth year featuring special weekly guests through Labor Day weekend. “The last five years have gone very well,” DJ Ralphie B said. “It gets busier and busier. I get a great crowd because not only do I take care of the older people on Friday nights, but from 9 to 10 o’clock it’s all about the kids. It’s a complete kids’ show. My son takes over with the DJing and will play to the kids and the kids absolutely love it.” The public is invited to join DJ Ralphie B at the Salisbury Beach Stage friday nights from 7:15 to 9 p.m. for evenings filled with dancing and singing along to music from the ’50s, ’60s, ’70s and classic motown hits. “People are coming down on Friday nights for the old-time rock ’n’ roll music. That music is never going to die. Today’s music dies out in a month or two; old-time rock ’n’ roll is still playing after 50 years. This music is never going to die,” said Ralphie B. Children of all ages take over the beach from 9 to 10 p.m. as DJ Jeff B takes the stage for an all-kids dance party under the stars featuring hoola-hoops, limbo, bubble blowing and more. “From 9 to 10 o’clock it’s all about the brand new music,” Ralphie B said. “We do the limbo, we do the hulahoop, line dancing, and it’s all about their music. Not only is it teenagers, we have the families, the mothers, fathers, they bring kids as young as 3, 4 years old. They’re having a blast, we fill the place with bubbles, the cameras and the phones are going a mile a minute. They just love it. All the kids start showing up around 8:30, because they know it’s about to be all about them.” — Andrew Clay

BEACH BUM FUN HOROSCOPES By Holly, The Seacoast Area's Leading Astrologer
• Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You will get needed help if you call in favors. But because you never did anything for anyone, never mind.
• Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Arguing is a waste of time and will make you look bad. Wait, that second part will be true regardless of arguing.
• Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You will advance if you put your mind, body and soul into an idea. Unfortunately, the idea is veggie-flavored ice cream.
• Aries (March 21-April 19): Don’t let anyone bully you today. And if you don’t believe me, I’ll make you believe me. • Taurus (April 20-May 20): This week, you should strive to keep things simple. Unfortunately, you work for the IRS. • Gemini (May 21-June 20): It’s time to surround yourself with people who boost your self-confidence. Yeah, like that’s something you can manage. • Cancer (June 21-July 22): Someone from your past will offer you unexpected help. Unfortunately, it will be your ex-husband helping himself to your wages.
• Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You’ve got a lot going for you. Why else would so many people want you to start going somewhere?
• Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sticking around the home will lead to complaints. But come to think of it, wherever you go will lead to complaints. • Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): It’s very important for you to bide your time. Now, if I only knew what “bide” actually meant.
• Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You should separate your personal and professional lives — that is, assuming you have any sort of life at all. • Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Today you’re likely to fall short, which makes sense because you are short.

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION
Wait, what?
Visitors to Merlion Park in Singapore on June 8 were startled to see Kim Jong Un and Donald Trump enjoying a casual walkabout, hand-in-hand. On closer inspection, however, they would have seen the two men were Howard X, a Kim impersonator, and Dennis Alan, a Trump impersonator, who traveled to Singapore in advance of the June 12 summit meeting between the two real leaders. Janette Warokka of Indonesia was fooled: “It’s so shocking for me. I don’t know why those two famous guys come here,” she told the Associated Press. Airport officials were less amused when Kim’s doppelganger, whose real name is Lee Howard Ho Wun, arrived at Changi Airport. Wun said police officers searched his bags and detained him for two hours before releasing him with stern warnings to stay away from the summit. Singapore’s Immigration and Checkpoints Authority said Wun was interviewed for about 45 minutes.

‘Jeez, it’s just so wrong.’” San Miguel County Coroner Emil Sante said officials “have no reason to believe that it was suspicious at all.”
Armed and clumsy
Things got wild on June 2 at Mile High Spirits and Distillery in Denver when an unnamed off-duty FBI agent accidentally shot patron Tom Reddington, 24, in the lower leg. According to the Denver Post, the agent was dancing and did a backflip, which caused his firearm to come out of its holster and fall to the floor. When he bent to pick up the gun, it discharged. “I heard a loud bang,” Reddington said, “and I thought some idiot set off a firecracker. All of a sudden, from the knee down became completely red, and that’s when it clicked in my head, ‘Oh, I’ve been shot.’” A man at the bar applied a tourniquet to Reddington’s leg. The FBI agent was taken to Denver police headquarters and released to an FBI supervisor. Mile High Spirits has promised “complimentary drinks forever” to Reddington.

Car salesman Brett Bland in League City, Texas, finally had enough and filed a lawsuit in May against his employer, AutoNation Acura Gulf Freeway, and Jeremy Pratt, a co-worker. Pratt, the suit alleges, engaged in “constant taunting ... making extremely crass, vulgar and rude comments” and “reinforced dominance over his subordinates by regularly entering their enclosed offices, intentionally passing gas and then laughing,” as well as “pinching and touching his male subordinates’ nipples.” KPRC-TV reported Pratt was fired after sending a text to everyone at the dealership alleging Bland was a sex offender (which he is not). After the firing, however, Bland’s lawsuit alleges, AutoNation allowed Pratt to “loiter at the dealership” and continue harassing employees, and Bland was threatened Sweet revenge In a bid to unseat his boss, Bon Homme with termination if he didn’t sell eight County, South Dakota, Deputy Sheriff Mark Maggs thrashed Sheriff Lenny Gramkow in the June 5 Republican primary by a vote of 878 to 331. So Sheriff Gramkow didn’t waste any time: Less than a minute after the polls closed, he fired Maggs, the Sioux Falls Argus Leader reported. “As of this moment you are no longer an employee of Bon Homme County,” Maggs’ termination notice read. Maggs, a 31-year-old father of four, will not become sheriff until January, but he is confident the county commission “will stand with my family ... and insure that my family will not be left hanging without an income or insurance,” Maggs said. “We’re going to be fine.”
If you’ve ordered a Quarter Pounder recently and specified “no cheese,” you may be interested in a $5 million class-action lawsuit brought against McDonald’s on May 8 by Cynthia Kissner of Broward County, Florida, and Leonard Werner of Miami-Dade. According to the Miami Herald, the two are angry that they’ve been paying for cheese even though they ordered their sandwiches without it. The lawsuit contends “customers ... continue to be overcharged for these products, by being forced to pay for two slices of cheese, which they do not want, order or receive.” Also, Kissner and Werner “have suffered injury as a result of their purchases because they were overcharged” and “McDonald’s is being unjustly enriched by these practices.” While attorney Andrew Lavin admits the mobile app ordering option does offer a Quarter Pounder without cheese, he Just say no notes in-store customers have no such On June 2, as two Jackson County, choice.

• In Beihai, South China, an unnamed 51-year-old man had been experiencing nonstop nosebleeds for 10 days when his wife told him she saw something “peek” out of his nose. In June, Metro News reported, the man went to Beihai People’s Hospital, where Dr. Liu Xiongguang removed a slithery, several-inches-long leech from his nostril as a nurse filmed the procedure. The doctor said the leech might have entered the patient’s nose as he swam in a river. • In a gross twist on road rage, Henry George Weaver, 69, of New Tripoli, Pennsylvania, ended an argument with another man June 8 by defecating on him.

PET OF THE WEEK The New Hampshire SPCA in Stratham has more than just cats and dogs available for adoption. We have many farm animals looking for homes, too, like David Bowie, a lively, young Silver Laced Wyandotte rooster looking for his first flock to protect. David Bowie is energetic, but easy to handle and has shown zero aggression towards his people here at the shelter. This is one good looking rooster and we would love to find a group of bachelorettes to adore him. For more information on adopting a farm animal please call us at 603-772-2921 x124 or visit our farm animal page at nhspca.org.
