Chef demos at Everett market
The Everett Farmers Market is serving something different this summer: demonstrations by area chefs each Sunday.
The first guest chef is “Oyster Bill” Whitbeck who will be at the market at 3 p.m. Sunday preparing clams and mussels Mediterranean style and demonstrating oyster shucking.
The proprietor of the the Widow’s Kitchen, Lynne Rovito, will barbecue the oysters and stir in some of her “special sauce.”
The Everett Farmers Market, which is open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sundays through September, is at 1600 W. Marine View Drive, three blocks north of the Navy base.

Don’t guess with leftovers
Remembering how long leftovers have been in the refrigerator is a problem most people face nearly everyday. Miscalculating this information can lead to food poisoning.
Take the guesswork out of leftovers with a free, downloadable refrigerator calculator from www.homefoodsafety.org.
The printer-friendly chart lists popular leftovers along with each food’s recommended shelf life. Post it on the refrigerator door as a helpful reminder.
