Recipe for a perfect Saturday

After a restful night's sleep, arrive at the Cheverly Market at 9 am for fresh coffee and a delicious pastry. Be sure to wear a hat, comfortable shoes, and bring your reusable shopping bag. Leave Fido at home, but promise him a juicy bone that you will buy for him at the Clan Stewart Stand. As you patiently wait in line at the Jug Bay stand, introduce yourself to the nice folks in front or behind you. Most likely they are neighbors or friends you haven't yet met. If you are over 21, wander over to the Elk Run Winery stand and buy a local bottle of wine to pair with tonight's seasonal dinner. Options: Oysters, roasted beets, salad with fresh tomatoes and chevre, a crusty baguette and strawberries. Don't forget a bouquet of field-grown flowers for your centerpiece or as a hostess gift. Buy a pot of mint to plant and harvest throughout the summer for ice tea and maybe even juleps. Sit down and enjoy the music of the Cheverly Hot Noodle Concern. Dance. or not, Bump into someone you know and invite them to share dinner.
