The Tamworth Camping Area

By Mark Okrant Photos courtesy Tamworth Camping Area The history of camping in the United States is as old as the country itself.

Valley Forge was little more than a collection of wooden huts set on a plateau when it served as the Continental Army’s encampment during the winter of 1777-1778. The expedition of Lewis and Clark (1804-06) wasn’t greeted with a chain of Howard Johnson’s as they crossed the expanse of the Louisiana Purchase—all 45 members camped.

Here in New Hampshire, recreational camping by non-indigenous travelers dates back to the early 19th century.

One-hundred years later, establishment of the State Forestry Department, the Federal Weeks Act, and Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests facilitated the preservation of large open spaces. With the advent of the automobile, people soon sought out places toward which to escape the congestion and pollution in large cities. New Hampshire was one such destination.

One particularly distinguished group of campers—consisting of Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, John Burroughs, and Harvey Firestone—spent time in the state during a long-distance camping trip in 1919.

Presently, there are 116 private and 20 state-owned campgrounds in New Hampshire. Within the Lakes Region alone, there are 30 private (26% of the state’s total) and two state-owned (10%) campgrounds. This column will focus on one of those, the Tamworth Campground, located at 194 Depot Road in Tamworth.

Opened in 1968, the campground

Campsite and camper at Tamworth Camping Area. is owned by Laurie Bonica. After a conversation with Bonica, it is safe to presume this facility has absolutely no resemblance to the sites frequented by Washington, Lewis, and Clark.

Tamworth Campground is a large facility that remains open from May 15 through Columbus Day Weekend. It provides a beautiful woodland setting with very large campsites; some of these have riverfront exposures along the Swift River.

According to Bonica, “We have 100 campsites that offer a range of hookups and locations. There are 30 longterm campsites (i.e., summer seasonals); most of these are occupied by the same families from early May through Mid-October. These sites all have water, electricity (30 amp), sewer, and cable hook-ups. There are 37 sites with water and electricity (30 amp); 18 of these are situated on the waterfront on the Swift River (two night minimum); 15 others have water views; and 4 are

off of the river. They have 16 sites with water, electric and sewer, some with 50 amp and some with cable.”

Most campsites can accommodate RV’s up to 40 feet or longer. The campground also has a large open field that accommodates groups of campers and special events. However, what if a party arrives without their own camping vehicle? This is not a problem. Rental trailers that range in size from 29 to 39 feet are available for a two-night minimum reservation. Tamworth also accommodates tenting and provides seven meadow sites with no hook ups as well as five wooded spots with water hook ups only.

In case you are laboring under the misconception that contemporary campgrounds such as Tamworth are places where campers park their vehicles and sit around growing cobwebs— nothing could be further from the truth.

Along with the traditional offering of picnic tables and fireplaces, there is a

playground with a pirate ship, a sandy beach where campers can go swimming, tubing, or can cast a line and go fishing. There is a meditation garden for those who wish to clear their minds and calm frazzled emotions. For the sports-minded, Tamworth has a miniature golf course, volleyball, badminton, and basketball courts, a horseshoe pitch, and a softball diamond. The campground even has a pavilion with a pool table.

Indoor facilities include a campground office, a store, and two sets of laundry facilities. There are three coin-operated bathrooms with a total of 10 showers. Campers have access to a dump station and can obtain ice and firewood on site. It must be noted that the campground sells state certified bug-free firewood, as that is the only permissible material to be burned in the Granite State.

Tamworth accepts pets on leashes.

Speaking of animal lovers, the campground offers a special treat—a barnyard with farm animals. There are chickens and roosters, mini-horses, goats, pigs, and a llama. Given that a majority of Tamworth’s campers are returning guests, it isn’t surprising the animals are accustomed to being called by their names.

The Tamworth Campground offers a full range of activities and events throughout the camping season. Every Saturday, at 4 pm, a free hayride is provided; there is also a farmers’ market at a nearby school. Additionally, campers can take advantage of Tamworth’s location to attend the Fryeburg and Sand-

Chocorua Lake Conservancy Has Programs Galore Can you tell a beetle from a true bug? A katydid from a grasshopper, or a hover fly from a bee? Do you know the difference between a butterfly and a moth, or a damselfly and a dragonfly?

If you’d like to learn more about these fascinating animals who are essential to life on earth, please join Chocorua Lake Conservancy and the Cook Library for “Insects for Beginners!” on Tuesday, July 20 at 7 pm, live via Zoom.

Led by educator and insect enthusiast, Linda Graetz, the informative, 90-minute Zoom class will focus on seven common insect orders: Chocorua Lake Conservancy (CLC) will discuss their life cycles, the roles they play in the environment, and the unique behaviors and physical characteristics of the animals in these groups.

This program is free; please register in advance at bit.ly/CLC-insects.

If you’ve joined CLC’s Zoom program, “Insects for Beginners!”, you will be well prepared to head out to find insects—patience, close observation and describing what you see are the most important skills you’ll need.

On Saturday, July 24, from 10 am to noon, at CLC’s C.C. Browne Woods on Washington Hill Road in Chocorua, you will look for insects in fields and woods, on plants and trees, under rocks, or just flying by. The group will explore and learn together to describe, observe, and share finds with each other.

Wear sunscreen, long pants and closetoed shoes. Please bring your own water, tick/mosquito repellant, and a magnify-

ing glass if you have one. Be sure to sign up for and attend the Tuesday evening program if you would like to come on the field trip. The free outdoor program is limited to 20 participants; register in advance on bit.ly/CLC-insect-walk.

Children age 8 and up are welcome and must be accompanied by an adult. If you have not yet been vaccinated, or are less than two weeks from your last shot, please bring a mask for moments when social distancing is not possible.

Program presenter and naturalist Lynne Flaccus has 30+ years of experience in land conservation and stewardship, managing protected properties, studying wildlife, and educating adults and children.

This event is one in a series of Chocorua Lake Conservancy programs held throughout the year to encourage people of all ages to enjoy Chocorua Lake and the trails and woods that surround it, and to learn more about the natural world we inhabit. Visit www.chocorualake.org for information, and follow on Facebook and Instagram.

The CLC is a volunteer-led, nonprofit land trust founded in 1968 to protect the scenic and natural resources of the Chocorua Lake Basin and surrounding area. The CLC is committed to providing convenient and attractive public access to Chocorua Lake and trails on nearby conservation lands for visitors and local residents.

A Barn, Berry Picking and the Open Road Story & Photos by Kathi Caldwell-Hopper I like an old barn and I love this time of year when pick-your-own raspberries and blueberries are ripening. On a sunny Saturday morning in July (after off and on heavy rain for a number of days), my husband Rick and I decided to postpone any home chores so we could take a much-needed day trip.

“Let’s head to the Route 16 area,” I suggested. Why? With no particular reason other than to wander and maybe stop at a yard sale here and there.

I can’t say we found any yard sales, but that wasn’t a disappointment because this trek was about relaxing and seeing what was out there. From Route 11 through Alton, we headed to Farmington on Rt. 11 east, and took left onto Central Street (in Farmington), right onto Main Street, left onto Rt. 75, left onto Rt. 16 and right onto Rt. 125/ White Mountain Highway to Milton.

Not far down the White Mountain Highway in Milton, we rounded a corner and there was a sign for the NH Farm Museum. I’ve been day-tripping for years; thus, I have been to this place before but it has been quite a few years since I toured the museum grounds.

“Let’s stop!” I suggested and my husband pulled over and parked our car. A woman was seated at a spinning wheel in the doorway of the farm’s barn which served as a country store. “Good morning!” she greeted us.

We entered and browsed the shop, where we found everything from handmade items to sodas and snacks and even farm fresh eggs for sale. I could see immediately that the collection of old farm items, including hand-painted antique wooden signs and some tools, were on display here and there.

Farm tools galore.

We paid a modest admission fee and were told the interior of the farmhouse, where once the Jones family resided, was not open for tours on this particular day. We could, however, tour the two-story huge barn and visit some farm animals.

As we walked to the barn, we could not help but admire the signature yellow-painted farmhouse and barn. I have always been amazed at the amount of paint it must take to keep the old and large buildings looking fresh in color, but I am glad the effort is made to keep

them that way.

I cannot say I have a big interest in old tools, but the huge barn chock-full of every sort of tool to make farming successful changed my opinion. As we entered the barn, I was not sure where to look first, because there are tools and wagons and information everywhere.

Looking up, I gasped at the huge top of the barn, and looking straight ahead, I was treated with a view of an incredibly long wooden sled that ran down the center of the barn.

I decided to walk through the displays on my right to begin the tour and saw wooden railings with signs telling the visitor of the many tools behind the railing and covering the walls. Ever heard of a Westcott adjustable wrench or a malleable wagon wrench? Or how about Panel Saws? A sign told of a sheet metal soldering iron heater, and two grinders with bicycle-type seats which were often carried from farm to farm by traveling scissor sharpener experts. (I could only imagine what a job such as this would be like, visiting rural farms, probably staying overnight beside the road or at a farm while you set up the sharpener with the bicycle seat to sharpen every bladed tool on the property.)

Old wooden boxes, woodworking tools, and specialty tools for use in specific trades are housed in another room with a fun little circular window so one can peek into the area. The room had such interesting – and to me – unheard-of items as butterball paddles, rope twisting hooks and Go No Go No calipers! A wooden sign on one wall told us this was the Early American

• Barn continued on page 11

July 2021 | ALONG ROUTE 16 | Page 11 • Barn continued from page 10 Country Living Museum Collection on loan from the Newcomb family. The large and unique collection was a hobby of the late Everett W. Newcomb of Tuftonboro, NH. The sign also told us Mr. Newcomb was “always delighted to show and explain his collections.”

We browsed area after area on the first floor, including a fascinating display of old wagons and carriages. I was left wondering how a “gig” or “shay” buggy made its way into the collection. Information in a sign on the shay told the reader that this was used in the 1996 film adaption of Arthur Miller’s “The Crucible”. The cast of the film included Daniel-Day Lewis, Winona Ryder, and Joan Allen.

Elsewhere, we learned of the use of corn knives, a tool of farmers to harvest field corn. The tool helped with cutting and then stacking the corn against a stocking horse.

We loved the dairy area, with its mammoth collection of glass milk bottles. Tools and paraphernalia used for dairy farming showed us this was a time-consuming part of life on a farm.

We saw a cheese press and learned such a press is a screw with a different pressure or weight applied to make different kinds of cheese. The press got the liquid whey out of the cheese and formed it so it could be stored and aged.

The information told us “the cheese press made life easier because it was able to create better pressure and push out more liquid whey so cheese tasted better and lasted longer.” Like so many other tools in the barn, I realized the hard physical work using these objects was for the farming family. No wonder farmers often suffered ailments, such

as painful backs and sore arms and legs to name but a few issues caused by all the hard work they did.

A maple syrup nook was filled with the tools for the sugaring process, and many wooden and tin buckets were found here.

As we rounded the first floor, we stopped to read information about that mammoth sled. An old photo showed a large number of people on the sled.

The sled was called The Uncle Sam and was built in 1894 in Farmington, NH by the B. F. Perkins Carriage Factory for Hervery Pearl. At 72 feet in length, it held the distinction of being the longest sled in the world, carrying as many as 72 adults or over 100 children! It had a speed of 60 mph. The wonderful sled with its interesting history is a must-see if you are in the area.

On the second floor of the barn, we saw more tools, including a display of felling axes for cutting and felling trees. Also, we learned how farmers harvested corn, using all parts of the crop. Cornstalks were used for livestock feed and were sometimes layered in walls and laid beneath the floor for insulation of farm buildings. Corn shellers were a popular and time-saving tool for farm families because the device separated the corn into its many parts.

Walls full of old farm rakes and other tools, as well as all sorts of wheels, brought home to us how vital such things were for the machines to run a farm long before electricity brought relief for the back-breaking work of a farmer. Also on display, and showing the hard work of farm families, were horse-drawn planters and hand seeders, as well as walking plows. A wheelbarrow seeder was once used to broadcast seeds over large field areas in the 1800s.

After the barn tour, we walked the property and stopped to watch the chickens in their enclosure. We also saw some picnic tables under the shade of trees and I thought this would be a great place to sit and have a picnic lunch or even rest with a cup of coffee.

Back in the store, we chatted with a volunteer who told us the farm is open Wednesday to Sunday through August and when school is back in session in the fall, it will be open weekends until mid-October. We chatted with her, asking the history of the Plummer and Jones families who once owned the property. (The house was built in the 1770s and by the early 1800s, a tavern was opened. This was likely a stagecoach route and a tavern would have been much appreciated as a resting place for travelers. Buildings were added until the 1870s, and the last family member passed away in the 1970s.

As we sat and talked, two women who had also been touring the barn, stopped by to say thank-you to our host. One of the women smiled and said, “We enjoyed the place very much; after all, we’re just two old farmers ourselves!”

It was great to see these women, who likely understood the hard work of farmers over the years, enjoying their visit.

I was happy to see the NH Farm Museum has re-opened its doors after last year’s pandemic forced a closing. Like many other non-profits, such a closure was difficult, but this year, things are reopening and events are taking place.

trails, visit www.nhfarmmuseum.org. or call 603-652-7840.

Just a bit further down the White Mt. Highway, we took a left onto NE Pond Road after seeing a sign for McKenzie’s Farm. We were admittedly a bit hungry by this time and thought the farm stand might have a pastry and cold drink.

We were more than pleased with a visit to McKenzie’s, because the farm store had a large variety of fresh blueberries, strawberries and raspberries for sale, along with homemade pies, veggies and jams and jellies, to name just a few of the tasty items offered. We got a cider donut and after partaking, I decided to indulge in one of my most treasured summertime activities: berry picking.

McKenzie’s offers pick-your-own raspberries and blueberries as of this writing (mid-July) and in the fall, there is apple picking. The raspberries were large and sweet and the blueberries also were delicious. Call 603-652-9400 or visit www.mckenziesfarm.com.

After such a great trip, we headed home via Route 109, Gov. Wentworth Highway. It is a very pretty country drive and took us into Wolfeboro.

My head was spinning with all we had seen and learned about old tools, a new (to me) farm stand and the assurance that there is always something interesting and unexpected to see and do when you just get in the car and drive a country road.

NH Outside with Emma What Can I Do To Control The Slugs In My Garden?

By Emma Erler Slugs can represent a huge challenge for many gardeners. They attack a wide variety of herbaceous plants including annuals, perennials, and vegetable crops. Slugs are actually terrestrial mollusks and are related to oysters, clams, and mussels. Because they don’t have a shell, slugs are at risk of drying out. As a result, they are almost always found in locations that are humid or wet and do most of their feeding at night when they can avoid the sun’s rays and the humidity is higher. During the day, they hide out at the base of plants or in garden mulch.

Slug damage looks much like the feeding of caterpillars or other insect pests, but with one distinct difference.

As slugs move and feed, they leave behind a noticeable mucus trail which hardens and appears shiny during the day. Slugs have a rasping mouthpart that they use to chew holes in the leaves and flowers of plants.

To reduce the slug population in your garden, you need to start by changing

the environment in the garden. Remove all slug hiding places such as old plant debris, mulch, stones, or logs - basically anywhere a slug may be drawn to hide during the day. Next, make sure plants are spaced adequately and prune them to encourage good air circulation. Do not apply irrigation late in the day or in the evening to give the soil a chance to dry out. Dry soil is much less attractive slug habitat.

If you’ve changed the habitat in your garden and still have issues, the next step is to set traps for them. Place boards or damp paper towel rolls on the ground in the evening. When morning comes, the slugs will use these places to hide, at which time you can kill them.

Many gardeners also have luck placing beer in shallow plastic containers which attracts slugs and subsequently drowns them. If you must handle slugs, it’s always a good idea to wear gloves.

Slugs harbor many parasites that have the potential to make people sick.

Diatomaceous earth can be spread

around the base of vulnerable plants.

Diatomaceous earth keeps the slugs away by cutting the outside of their bodies and thus causing them to dehydrate. It works best under dry conditions and must be reapplied after every rain event or irrigation session.

You can also purchase chemical slug baits that attract slugs and kill them by poisoning. Using pesticides alone is rarely enough to measurably reduce slug populations. However, pesticides used in concert with cultural changes in the garden can make a big difference. If using any pesticide product, remember to read and follow the instructions on the product label.

Turning Inexpensive Cuts of Meat into Deliciousness

By Chef Kelly Ross When it comes to grilling, we would all love to be buying beef tenderloin and rib eye all the time, but for the majority of us, that’s just not realistic. Today’s theme is buying lower end cuts of beef and babying it, needling it, marinating it, and grilling it to perfection, then slicing it properly, making your company think you just paid big bucks when in actuality, you bought economically and did all the right things, making your guests feel they should have dressed up instead of being so casual.

Let’s get at, shall we?

When it comes to the best cuts of beef to use when you don’t want to break the bank but truly want to offer the flavor of a good steak, my favorites are generally a flank steak, a London broil, a flat iron steak and flap meat.

For all of these recipes, the cuts of meat are interchangeable, although I will always recommend one over the others, but depending on availability when shopping, feel free to fall back on one of the other cuts I just mentioned.

Also, if you don’t own a needler tenderizer, BUY ONE! It is arguably the best kitchen investment you can make if you grill a lot. It is basically a cartridge holding about 100 little knives; when you grab the cartridge and pound against a cut of meat, you are basically stabbing the cut with these little knives so when you marinate the meat, the marinade gets inside the meat to help

break down a tough cut. It adds wonderful flavor inside the meat as well as on the outside. You can find a good one for $20 to $25, and once you buy one, you will be wondering why you hadn’t done so earlier. This awesome recipe will feed 4 easily.

Grilled Hanger Steak with Kimchi Apple Slaw 3 tbsp olive oil 5 tbsp sugar 4 tbsp soy sauce 3 tbsp toasted sesame oil 1 ½ tbsp finely grated fresh ginger 3 cloves of garlic, finely minced 1 shallot, minced Kosher salt

Fresh grind black pepper 2 ½ -3 lbs hanger steak 1/3 cup mayo 2 tsp apple cider vinegar 1 medium-large Granny Smith apple, peeled and julienned 1 small cucumber, julienned 1 cup cabbage kimchi with juices, chopped Sesame seeds for garnish Sliced scallions for garnish In a large bowl, combine the canola oil and 4 tablespoons of the sugar with the soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, garlic and shallot; season with salt and pepper. Needle the steak generously on both sides of the meat. Add the steak

to the marinade and let stand for 45 minutes at room temp. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise with the vinegar and remaining 1 teaspoon of sugar. Stir in the apple, cucumber and kimchi; season with salt and chill. This is a great slaw. Never be afraid to multiply the recipe so you have enough for a few lunches.

Start your grill and oil the grate.

Grill the steak over moderate heat until charred and medium-rare within, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Thinly slice the steak against the grain on a decent diagonal, then top with sesame seeds and scallion and serve with the slaw. Wicked good!

Next on today’s low-end cost, highend flavor beef hit list, the cut of choice is a flank steak, married with the outstanding marinade containing balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard and olive oil among some great fresh herbs and spices. This recipe is for 6 of you, maybe a bit more depending on appetites.

Balsamic Flank Steak ½ cup balsamic vinegar ½ cup olive oil 2 tbsp Dijon mustard 2 tbsp chopped fresh basil 6 cloves garlic, minced 2 tsp sugar 1 tsp salt ½ tsp black pepper

July 2021 | ALONG ROUTE 16 | Page 17 • Cook Out Continued from page 16 3-4 lbs flank steak In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except the steak; mix well. Put the steaks on a cutting board and needle them well on both sides. With a sharp paring knife, score the steak in very shallow cuts about 1 ½ inches apart, creating a crisscross pattern. Repeat on the other side. Put into a large Ziploc and pour in the marinade and seal.

Massage the bag well to make sure both sides of all the beef are covered.

Refrigerate and occasionally turn the bag. Marinate for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove steak from marinade and discard excess marinade.

Grill steak 4 minutes on each side, or until center is cooked to medium rare, or to your preferred doneness. Allow steak to rest 5 minutes before slicing on an angle across the grain. Serve and enjoy.

One of my all-time favorite steaks anywhere - and I have seen it served on just about every cut of beef possible is a Black ’n Bleu Steak. I’ve had this on a rib eye, a NY strip, steak tips, and on a lower end, I’ve had it on London broil, flank steak as well as flap meat or hanger steaks. For the sake of argument, let’s do this on flank steaks. I love how they are large in area space, which works great for the bleu cheese topping. I also like topping it with sautéed onions and peppers. I could eat this bad boy 24/7. This is for 4 of you.

Black ’n Bleu Steak The Topping 8 oz cream cheese, softened 2/3 cup crumble bleu cheese 2 tbsp milk 2 tsp fresh chopped parsley 1 tsp granulated garlic, or garlic powder 1 tsp salt ¼ tsp black pepper Steak Seasoning, The Steak and Peppers/Onions 3 lbs flank steak 1/3 cup olive oil 3 tbsp fresh chopped parsley 2 tbsp fresh chopped garlic 1 tsp black pepper 3 large Vidalia onions 3 large green peppers, sliced ¼ vegetable oil In a medium bowl, combine topping ingredients; mix well. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. Slice the onions and peppers and sauté in a large pan and cook until translucent. Do not overcook. Ideally, the sautéed veggies should still have a snap to them. Needle the steaks thoroughly. Combine the steak seasoning ingredients and then

evenly coat all sides of the beef. Pull the bleu cheese topping an hour before you grill. Grill the steaks over a medium heat that has been oiled down.

Once it is to heat, plop the beef on top and grill to your desired doneness. Let it sit on a cutting board. Again, after letting them rest, cut against the grain in a diagonal fashion, plate them, top with onions and peppers and then cover with the bleu cheese topping. This is deliciousness to the 10th degree.

One of the many great things about these steak recipes is they are outstanding on salads as well as on their own.

Nobody in their right mind puts a ribeye on a salad, but a flank or London broil is a spot-on choice for a great protein on a spectacular salad. All the recipes I have shared so far would be perfect on a salad. This next one was introduced to me from a chef boss of mine specifically for a salad. This will make 4-6 outstanding salads.

Flat Iron Steak Salad with Mustard Anchovy Dressing 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh thyme ¼ cup fresh chopped fresh sage 2 tsp salt 2 tsp fresh grind black pepper 3/8 cup olive oil 3/8 cup red wine vinegar 2 tbsp Dijon mustard 6 anchovy fillets 2 cloves garlic 1 tsp fresh grind black pepper ½ cup olive oil 2 tbsp minced garlic 8 flat iron steaks, about 3 lbs, or 3 lbs of flank steak cut into 8 equal size pieces All of your favorite salad options 1 cup crumbled bleu cheese, optional

but strongly recommended To marinate the steaks, combine the oil, minced garlic, thyme, sage, salt and 2 tsp of the black pepper in a gallon-size sealable plastic bag. Add steaks and turn the bag several times to coat them. Let the steaks marinate for 1 hour at room temp or refrigerate for up to 1 day.

To prepare the dressing, place vinegar, mustard, anchovy, garlic cloves and 1 teaspoon pepper in a mini food processor and process until smooth, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula as needed. Add ¼ cup oil and process until creamy. Set aside for up to 1 hour or refrigerate for up to 1 day.

To cook steaks, preheat a grill to medium-high and grease well. Take the steaks out of the marinade and grill them about 3-5 minutes per side for a great medium rare, 125-130 degrees.

While the steak is cooking, set up your salads on dinner plates. Transfer the cooked steaks to a cutting board and

let sit for 5-10 minutes and cut them all into ½ inch slices, against the grain on the diagonal. Fan them over the salad, sprinkle the crumbled bleu cheese over them and serve with that awesome dressing you just made for a great steak salad you will prepare again and again.

I’m going to share one more quick and awesome steak recipe guaranteed to make you smile. If you have never made a fresh Chimichurri sauce, you will be a frequent flyer after trying this just once. This is for 4 people.

Grilled Chimichurri Flank Steak & Asparagus Chimichurri Sauce 4 cups packed fresh parsley 4 small cloves garlic, chopped ¼ cup white vinegar ¼ cup olive oil ½ tsp each sea salt and fresh grind black pepper Steak & Asparagus 1 ½ lbs fresh trimmed asparagus ¼ cup olive oil 2+ lbs flank steak ¾ tsp sea salt ¾ tsp fresh grind black pepper To make the chimichurri sauce, chop parsley and garlic together until finely chopped. Transfer to a small bowl and add vinegar, oil, and salt and pepper.

Stir well to combine. As for the steak and asparagus, toss asparagus with oil.

Sprinkle the asparagus and steak with salt and pepper. Grill the steak for 5 minutes. Turn the steak and add the asparagus to the grill. Cook, turning the asparagus once or twice, until it is tender and the steak is cooked to your liking, 4 to 6 minutes more for medium rare. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

I hope this gives you a few fun ideas to use this summer. Enjoy your summer and always treat your taste buds like best friends and continue to write me with your feedback and questions at fenwaysox10@gmail.com. It’s always good to see what you have to say.

Meredith Village Savings Bank to Sponsor Free Admission Days for History Teachers Made possible by Meredith Village Savings Bank (MVSB), New Hampshire history teachers will have the opportunity to visit the Wright Museum in Wolfeboro at no charge on the following Sundays: August 8, September 19 and October 17.

“This is a wonderful chance for us to honor the contributions of our state’s history teachers,” said Mike Culver, executive director of The Wright.

Teachers may also bring one guest at no additional charge.

“There is plenty to see and do here in Wolfeboro,” added Culver. “We hope teachers take advantage of this opportunity.”

Robyn Masteller, MVSB Regional Vice President, Branch & Business Development Manager, said the Wright Museum’s initiative “to give back to teachers within our communities directly aligns with several of our core values. History teachers and the Wright Museum seem to be a perfect fit, and it offered us a unique opportunity to support the teachers who do so much for our children each day.”

According to Jami Bourdeau, MVSB

Branch Services Manager, their sponsorship of the initiative reflects their belief in stewardship. “We aid the communities we serve in the forms of scholarships, grants and, in this case, sponsorships,” she said.

Expressing appreciation for MVSB’s “community vision,” Culver said the initiative underscores the importance of the subject of history.

“Given world events, social unrest and an increased focus on celebrating our nation’s diversity, there may be no better place than The Wright to help provide perspective,” he said.

Free Admission Sundays (for NH history teachers) take place on August 8, September 19 and October 17. Teachers are requested to bring identification that identifies them as teachers.

The region’s leading resource for educators and learners of all ages on World War II, the Wright Museum features more than 14,000 items in its collection that are representative of both the home front and battlefield.

For more information about the museum or special events, visit www. wrightmuseum.org.
