What should the new visitor center/public restrooms building look like? That’s the question the Manzanita City Council posed to those in attendance of a special council meeting held Tuesday afternoon, Feb. 19. In the end, council members voted unanimously in favor to stick with what they decided upon originally, bringing to a close two weeks of public debate on the matter. The fact the city council was asking the question at all is an interesting story in itself. As little as a couple of months ago, city councilors had a pretty good idea what the new facility was going to look like and set a target of July 4 for completing, what has been termed, “the project.” That was up until the council’s regularly scheduled meeting held Feb. 6, when members of

Vera Wildauer (center), co-founder of the Manzanita Writers’ Series, monitors sales of the North Coast Squid at Saturday evening’s unveiling of the literary magazine.

Once home to Ben Lane’s real estate office, the new visitor center/public restroom facility will retain its historic look. the Manzanita Planning Commission accused the city council of bending the rules in bypassing the commission that normally reviews the design of new buildings. The city had been moving forward with replacing the building at 31 Laneda Ave., site of the old Kent Price Realty office with a near replica of the existing building to provide public restrooms and a small visitor center to distribute information

to visitors to the community. The old building, which has been added onto over the years, was at one time the office of Ben Lane, one of the founders of Manzanita. The fact that the new building was a replica of the old one, led city staff to believe the normal design review process was not warranted. In addition, with a tight timeline looming, City Manager Jerry Taylor enlisted the help

of an out-of-area architect he had worked with previously to draw up the plans for the new building. That caught the attention of local licensed architects, three of four who also attended the Feb. 6 meeting, asking why they weren’t afforded the opportunity to submit a design for the new visitors center. Discussion of the visitors center lasted nearly

On a recent sunny winter’s day, work crews put the finishing touches on the foundation and concrete floor of two new buildings on Laneda Ave. in Manzanita that will sit side-by-side on the lot where a 70-year-old structure was demolished last May. The mixed-use two-story buildings should be finished this summer, according to Manzanita developer Hans Tonjes, who is partnering with architect Jimmy Onstott on the project. “We’re cautiously optimistic we’ll be finished by summer. So far the weather has cooperated, we haven’t had any big delays yet,” said Tonjes. Both buildings, located at the northeast corner of Laneda and Fifth Street, will feature 600-square-feet, one-bedroom apartments on the second level, which will likely become shortterm rentals, according to Tonjes. The fact that the buildings are going up at all is a bit of a surprise considering the project is all privately funded. Although Tonjes and Onstott sought bank financing, they were unsuccessful in securing a construction. Not that their credit was bad, but because

School swim program begins with building of pool in 1930s It’s Pool-A-Thon time again, the 23rd edition of this annual fundraiser, with proceeds supporting the Nehalem Elementary School Swim & Water Safety Awareness Program, which has been in existence since the 1930s when the pool was first built. At that time the school district was planning an addition to the school in Nehalem. The drowning of two local teenage boys prompted the community to ask the school district to add a natatorium. Even though it was during the Great Depression, there was overwhelming community support to teach every child how to swim to avoid future tragedies. Now, 83 years later, in this area surrounded by water an dominated by water related recreation, the mission of providing swim instruction and water safety to all Nehalem Elementary students continues. The skills students learn in the pool could

The North County Recreation District program reaches out to every Nehalem Elementary student, K – 5th grade, and also includes the NKN District #56 adaptive swim program. Historically, the local community has accomplished something extraordinary in financially sponsoring students who are swimming laps for dollars during Pool-

A-Thon. By pledging money or making a donation to a student swimmer, donors help guarantee all the children will continue to benefit from this vital and historic program. Participating students will be canvassing throughout the community through March 2, looking for sponsors who will pledge dollars for their swimming efforts. The Pool-A-Thon will be held Saturday, Feb. 23,

LNWC celebrates accomplishments on Valentine’s Day By Dave Fisher The Citizen

The Lower Nehalem Watershed Council picked Valentine’s Day to hold a potluck in which the public was invited to celebrate the day but, more importantly, celebrate the accomplishment the watershed council has made since it was formed in 1997. It was, as stated by Chrissy Smith, LNWC coordinator, in a news release describing the event, an opportunity for citizens to learn about what the council does in the community and “celebrate their love for the watershed.” Storyboards set up around the perimeter of Pine Grove

Community House depicted projects finished, in progress and those to be tackled at a future date. “It’s a ‘bottom up’ approach, so typically Oregonian, that makes our watershed council so effective,” said LNWC President George Hemingway. Local councils, Hemingway noted, can influence and interact with volunteers in helping to activate citizens and government agencies in restoring and improving fish habitat in the lower Nehalem basin. “Often, people come to us to enlist our help in taking on these projects.” Since its inception, the LNWC, which is responsible

projects aided with $3 million in grants. Most recently, the new bridge over Roy Creek where it spills into the Ne-

halem River was completed, replacing old and deteriorating culverts that restricted fish passage upstream. Finished in October, after nearly a decade of back-and-forth wrangling with various governmental agencies, persistence paid off for the watershed council and the bridge stands as a monument as to the positive things that can happen when people, along with governmental entities, work together. Other completed projects during the course of the past 15+ years include improvements to fish passage and spawning grounds at Boykin Creek, Vosburg Creek, God’s Valley meadows, Lost Creek at Cougar Valley, the Little

North Fork and South Fork Dairy near Nehalem. Next up is construction of a new floodgate along the North Fork Nehalem that, as a result of being open more often that it is closed, will improve fish passage and allow young salmon and steelhead the opportunity to feed and grow before making their way to the main stem. It will be another instance where solutions, says Hemingway, are achieved collaboratively and coordinated locally.

90 minutes, prompting the council to put the project on hold and schedule another special public meeting the following week, Feb. 12, to explore other options voiced by local architects. Again, no decision was reached and at this week’s meeting of the council, the third in two weeks, it was, as Mayor Garry Bullard so aptly put it, “fish or cut bait time.” Acknowledging that the past few weeks had been a learning process for the council, Bullard identified the stakeholders as visitors who pay lodging taxes, members of the business community and the architects themselves who attended the recent meetings and offered their input. “Reading consensus is not always easy,” said Bullard, noting public reaction to past municipal projects, such as improvements to Laneda Ave. and construction of the water treatment plant. Referring to the visi-

Councilor Mike Scott, who expressed concern about the funds already spent to replicate the original building prior to the council putting a hold on the project to garner more public opinion, agreed with the mayor. “I have been vacillating back and forth, but the consensus of business people and those I have talked to has been stay the course,” he said. City Manager Jerry Taylor estimated that the city had already invested $10,400 in the project in engineering and architectural fees, though local architects argued that in designing a building with a life span of 100 years the money already spent shouldn’t be a deterrent in pursuing a new design. “Our intent would be to contribute imagination to make it (the visitor center)

more than anyone imagined what it could be… instead of replicating an old building that was designed for something else,” said architect Tom Ayres at the Feb. 12 meeting in lobbying councilors to allow the local architects to work together on the project. In making up for funds already spent, the foursome didn’t agree that it made budgetary sense to merely rebuild a duplicate structure. “I see a low budget (estimated at $200,000 for the building) as a challenge,” said James Fanjoy, a relatively new architect to the area. “Dollars could be shaved off the project with a new design…it’s not something to be afraid of.” Councilor Hans Tonjes, who admitted to having trouble “falling in love” with the

The school board’s main goal, is to support student achievement, Erlebach added. To achieve that goal, the board focuses on the following needs: • Creating a vision for what parents and citizens want their school district to become and how to make student achievement the top priority • Setting standards for what students must learn and be able to do • Assessing whether schools achieve their goals, and whether students are learning • Accounting for the outcomes of decisions and by tracking progress and reporting results • Aligning the use of the district’s human and financial

resources • Creating a safe and orderly climate where students can learn and teachers can teach • Collaborating to solve common problems and to support common successes • Focusing on continuous improvement by questioning, examining, revising, refining and revisiting issues related to student achievement. School board members were recognized by having each school adopt a board member and presenting them with a poster signed by all students and staff, a certificate of appreciation and a small gift, topping off the presentations with a cake.

Board members include: Pat Ryan, Chairman; 14 years of service; Lisa Hooley, Vice Chairman; 10 years of service; Niki Sheldon and Sue Vincent both with 12 years of service; Judy Wustenberg; 5 years of service; Frank Knight Jr; 4 years of service and Herb Dorn with 2 years of service. “Even though we made a special effort during January to show appreciation for our school board members, we recognize their contributions reflect a year-round effort on their part. They are dedicated individuals who are committed to improving student achievement and to fighting for the best for all of our students,” Erlebach said.

look of the historic Laneda Ave. building said he could have gone either way, but in looking at earlier photographs of the structure, he noted that before the add-ons and other structural changes throughout the years, it was a “charming building.” “It should look like the original and not the modern day version,” said Tonjes, who favored a more flexible approach in working with the current architect on board to make that a reality. Picking up on that, Councilor Leila Salmon offered a motion to resume work on replicating the original building, with Tonjes’ recommendations duly noted, and submitting the design to the planning commission for review. The unanimous vote in favor brought to a close two

weeks of discussion about “the project” that city councilor members agreed should have taken place previously. “Have we learned anything? I hope so,” said Bullard. “Could we have done a better job up front? Yes. My apologies to the planning commissions and the local architects.” While work will resume,

it is highly unlikely the original July 4 target date for completion of the new facility with it public restrooms will be met. Ironically, in acting hastily, the Manzanita City Council ended up shooting itself in the foot in setting the deadline, and the planning commission and members of the public took note.

Commentary/News Nehalem mulls Learning to apply myself city improvements at Feb. meeting By Pat Edley For the Citizen

During a discussion of progress toward a new city hall during the February 11 meeting of Nehalem’s City Council, City Manager Dale Shafer submitted a packet from Pacific Alarm Systems of Seaside, providing a description and cost of both fire alarm and burglar alarm systems for the new structure. Council President Dale Stockton suggested that smoke detectors were the only thing needed, however council members could reach no immediate agreement, and the issue was tabled until the March meeting. Replacement of the current exterior lights at City Hall was also discussed. Some lights would be installed at better sites, to improve lighting and make it easier to replace bulbs. After a brief discussion, the council accepted the bid from Chesnut Electric for approxi-

mately $4,450 for new lights. During a discussion of upgrades to Harwood Square and the city dock, Don Davidson, head of Public Works, said cost of heavy shakes for replacement of the gazebo roof would be $2,400. Suggestions were made for other possible roof replacement materials. Davidson said that due to safety concerns, he felt the ramps at city dock should be upgraded in the future. Stockton mentioned that the sign there is also in need of refurbishment. An open house is scheduled for Friday, March 1, to give the public a chance to meet and talk with new City Manager Dale Shafer and Assistant City Recorder Emily Holt. In other matters, Nehalem’s Budget Committee needs one new member. The next meeting of the city council will be on March 11, 2013 at 7:30 p.m. at Nehalem City Hall.

Obituary Zanoni Hartford

Zanoni Arizona Hartford was born on August 15, 1976 in Eugene, Oregon to Dennis Hartford and Diane Pollitt. He spent his life with his family and friends in the many beautiful towns along the north Oregon coast. He attended Neah-Kah-Nie High School and later studied painting and drawing at Clatsop Community College and Pacific Northwest College of Art. As an adult, Zan made his home in the Nehalem Bay Area, touching the lives of the community through his skills as a craftsman, kayak enthusiast, and most importantly through his art. He loved to be with his friends and family while he dazzled them with his tall tales and culinary skills. He

north coast

had a quick wit and loved to make people laugh. He always put on a “Really Big Show!” When Zan discovered that he was adept at capturing life through his art he found a new way to speak in which the world responded and began to paint prolifically. His process of self-discovery is evident in his progressive mastery of his artwork. Zanoni passed away on February 2, 2013. He was 36 years old. He is survived by his wife, Jaeden Steinbach, and their two children, Jasper, 9, and Hazel, 7, along with his stepdaughter Madisen, 14. Zan is also survived by his father, mother and siblings.

Living The Dream

genteel southern man who explained that while my application was extremely impressive, the department I had applied to work in was being re-organized because it had “blown away.” In 2009, I interviewed with the FBI for an analyst position. I went to the Portland field office in my best (only) tie and waited nervously until summoned. The eight interviewers took turns grilling me and I did my best to not look uncomfortable about the fact they were all armed. I held my own until a stern-looking man out of a central-casting call for “tough, no-nonsense federal agent” hit me with a stumper: why did I want to work for the FBI? I fought for a response: I wanted to fight evil-doers, I wanted nab Osama, I wanted to meet Mulder and Scully all crossed my mind. In the end, I mumbled something about “doing some good,” which is far less impressive than it sounds. Though they passed on me, I didn’t come away empty-handed. I get to say “I interviewed for a job with the FBI” until the day I die, which is pretty cool. There are “safety applications,” much like college applications. You don’t really want do fill them out, but you figure they are such a sure thing, you will at least have a fall-back. Such was the case when I applied at Linfield College, my alma mater, to work as an admissions representative. I had just graduated from there and rationalized that this fact would be more than enough to land the job. When I spoke to an

interviewer over the phone, everything seemed to be going well until he shuffled some papers and cleared his throat. Something was coming, and I knew I wouldn’t like it. “I have concerns about your academic credentials,” he said. With grace and poise, I answered “Huh?” “Your academic credentials,” he repeated. “They just aren’t what we are looking for.” I found this strange, especially since my academic credentials came from the very institution at which I was applying for a job. I had the fancy diploma, high GPA, and stack of financial aid receipts to prove it. “Seriously?” I asked. Missing the irony, Mr. Interviewer made a sound like an exasperated parent and deadpanned “Your academic credentials aren’t up to Linfield’s standards.” He suggested I get my master’s and reapply for the position. I thanked him, hung up, and suggested he take a long, hot trip in an extreme southerly direction. Job-hunting is adventurous. For brief moments while filling out scores of applications, you get to imagine yourself as someone else; astronaut, botanist, chef, or college admissions representative. For those with wandering imaginations, it’s incredibly gratifying that, if your application lands on someone’s desk, perhaps they’ll see you that way as well. Meanwhile, I love my full-time job as husband, son, friend and dog-toythrower-guy. I never have to fill out paperwork and my credentials are just fine.

Lions Club. I remember a phone call one Christmas from an acquaintance who knew I was raising funds to pay the mortgage on the camp for deaf children. He called to say that he and his wife were not sure but thought they might be able to send $100. That brought me a bit of a tear and, a couple years later, that same couple contributed $20,000 and I cried out loud. I am sure that feeling elation or sadness is normal and everyone experiences them for their own reasons. I remember working with a fellow who had a perpetual smile on his face. Some people admired him for his obvious optimism, but others thought it was because he had no idea what was going on around him. I have had some experience in working with both the glass being half-full and the half-empty people. The positive ones are the best to be around. There are many among us with problems that we keep to ourselves and I guess the best solution is to find someone else that needs help and while you are giving them a hand your own problems will take care of themselves My dear mother was stricken with Alzheimer’s disease and didn’t know anyone for the last year or two of her life. I am pretty sure she would have understood the tears that I shed those last few times that I got to see her. Real men do, indeed, cry when they find themselves appreciating another’s efforts and when experiencing the love from family friends and those caring people who tend the feeble and the ill to make their lives the best possible.

Letters to the Editor Healthcare is killing me I am considered one of the lucky ones. I have health insurance. I am a single person, small business owner. I pay for this insurance monthly. It is not inexpensive. Recently, I have had to make some choices. A doctor had recommended a set of tests. I chose to have one out of three done. I knew that there would still be out-of-pocket expenses and I am still paying for a broken ankle from a year and a half ago. So, I thought I was making a wise choice. No more healthcare debt, especially since healthcare facilities are the first to send you to collections the first time

you are late. As a business owner, I need a fairly okay credit rating. I do not need dings on it. Recently, I found that my four-part payment plan to Tilllamook Adventist was not going to fit their plan. They wanted a fourpart plan, equal payments. Mine was four parts, but on a graduating scale. They offered to send me to their billing agency that would let me stretch out the payments more comfortably. The paperwork arrived: six payments with six percent interest on balance each month. Yes, each month! Well, that’s not a help, is it? I believe the word is “usury.” Or is it “gouging?” I mentioned the details of Tillamook’s so-called

billing “service” (not a collection agency, I am told) because it is public policy of sorts. It is not unique to me. Anyone, and everyone, is offered this wonderful service. And, yes, I have health insurance, a home, a business. I am one of the “lucky ones.” Really? I also wonder about the wisdom of me picking and choosing which procedures to “invest” in. Did I choose wisely? What if I am fatally wrong? Would that colonoscopy have saved my life some time in the future? I’ll never know. I do know I had to make choices based on the reality: healthcare costs money. Yes, healthcare, the healthcare system as it

exists down to the small town hospitals, is sucking the life out of me. What good is insurance if I then owe so much that I am at risk of defaulting, ruining my own credit, which would impact my business? Which, in turn, would impact my ability to work my business, which pays for my health insurance and electricity and food. People have to make choices, hard ones. I believe institutions also have to make choices. No interest, please, on medical costs. Give people time, lots of it. Give them payment plans that actually work for the consumer, rather than the institution. Tobi Nason Manzanita

n Rinehart From page 1 In her first year of married life and pregnant with her first child, Belle was involved in a serious stagecoach accident, suffering several broken leg bones and hip injuries. Five months after the accident, she gave birth to Willard Sayre Rinehart; two years later twin sons were born – Jackson Carle and Harvey Earl – and another son, Phillip, in 1888. These experiences gave Belle much experience in certain branches of medicine, and she became interested in medicine through assisting her husband in his general practice. In 1894, the sudden death of Willard Rinehart prompted Belle to take up the study of medicine. With the assistance of her mother, caring for her four young sons, she was one of the first women physicians in Oregon, graduating from the University of Oregon Medical School (precursor to OHSU) in 1897. She returned to The Dalles to reopen her husband’s office. According to her memoirs, “I returned to begin the practice of medicine and, with inward fear, for there were four or five old established men MDs already entrenched – myself just fresh from medical college and a woman – but my name was on my office door and I must ‘carry on.’” She traveled to New York for postgraduate study and later married Dr. E. E. Ferguson, a college classmate. Belle and Dr. Ferguson opened the first and very successful hospital in The Dalles, which included a training school for nurses. Belle was in charge of the obstetrical work, women’s diseases and anesthetics at the hospital. In 1907, Belle and her husband traveled to Vienna to study obstetrics and regional anatomy. Returning to The Dalles, they Astro & Odie

continued their work for several years. Upon Dr. Ferguson’s death, Belle again travelled to Vienna, and then established her medical practice in Portland, specializing in diseases of women and obstetrics with an office and hospital practice. She was finally forced into retirement by family obligations and severe arthritis, which had developed in her injured hip. “After a period of strenuous work, ministering the best I might to the ills of humanity, I have retired to this ideal ocean resort (Seaside) on the northwest coast of Oregon, where tired nerves and the ravages of disease may be forgotten and one may live reinvigorated and in tranquilly. And, in conclusion, may I not add the ripened observation that only a woman, trained to know, can fully understand and sympathize and help with all the problems of womankind,” according to Belle Cooper Rinehart (Ferguson) in 1927. She was a member of the American Medical Association, the Vienna Medical Association, the Oregon State Medical Society, and a member of the city and county medical societies. Her twin sons, J. Carle and Harvey E., followed in their parents’ footsteps and became doctors. It was his mother’s suffering with arthritis that led Dr. Harvey Rinehart to specialize in the development of treatments for the painful disease. Continuing the Rinehart family tradition of physicians, Belle’s grandson, Robert E., and great-grandson, Harry H. Rinehart, also became doctors, caring for patients here in Wheeler. Belle died in 1944 leaving an extraordinary legacy from her first footsteps across the Great Plains as a toddler to her training of nurses in the Columbia Gorge and study overseas. She gives credit and thanks to her mother, “…whose encouragement, intelligence and ability imparted strength and determination.”

From page 1 construction site, the building that once house Manzanita Seafood and Chowder House is getting a facelift. Purchased by Jimmy Onstott, after a couple of years on the market, the building will once again be home to an eatery. Lynne Hopper, a local resident of the Nehalem Bay area the past 14 years and the proprietor of what will be known as Neah-Kah-Nie Bistro, is renting the space and plans to open in mid-March. “I was born and bred into this business,” said Hopper, who grew up in White Salmon, Washington, home to her folk’s bed and breakfast. Since then, she has worked at restaurants and catered locally. Last year, she participated in the Manzanita Farmers’ Market selling her homemade chowder and shrimp boats.

Applications, product list and market policies are posted on the farmers market website at www.manzanitafarmersmarket.com.

Manzanita Golf Course Men’s Club 2013 season gets underway, meeting March 5 Once again, it’s time to pay annual dues for the Manzanita Men’s Club. For 2013, the dues are $50 for the season, the same as last year. The money goes toward the Oregon Golf Association’s managing of the handicaps, breakfast, and prizes for the annual tournament in September. Payment is required by March 1. The annual Men’s Club breakfast meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, Mar. 5, at the Big Wave restaurant. The meeting will outline the schedule for 2013 and a club president will be selected at this time. A sign-up sheet is available at the clubhouse. The breakfast begins at 8 a.m. and will be followed by the regular Tuesday club scramble event at the golf course. “Please encourage your friends and any new players to join,” says current club president Bob Joseph. “We hope to see you all there at the breakfast and plan to play a round of golf to kick off 2013.” For more information about the Men’s Club, call the Manzanita Golf Course at (503) 368-5744.

NCRD competes at swim meet for first time

NCRD was represented for the first time by the Stingrays at an officially sanctioned swim meet. Eight swimmers from the 25-member NCRD swim team participated in a total of 35 events on Feb. 2 and 3, in Forest Grove. Attending this first meet exposed swimmers to a broader world of competition and the requirements involved, giving more meaning to their weekly practices. “Swim team isn’t easy and they swim hard,” said coach Kiley Konruff. “They come to practice with smiles on their faces and positive attitudes every week.” As a swimming instructor and lifeguard, Konruff has been actively involved in aquatics for many years. Within the last few months she has been studying to receive several certifications through USA Swimming to become a registered coach. In addition to Konruff being a coaching member, swimmers are also members of USA Swimming and Oregon Swimming, national and state governing bodies for the sport of swimming that administer competitive swimming in accordance with the Olympic & Amateur Sports Act. As such, participating mem-

NCRD Stingrays – back row, from left: Karissa Hadermann, Dinah Schultz, Logan Chesnut, Coach Kiley Konruff, and Rheanne Bryant. Front row: Lilly Cram, Brooklynne Konruff, Cooper Holloway, and Caleb Harth. bers are eligible for state championships. Two more meets are planned for this school year for swimmers Grades 1-5. “I’m excited to be teaching the older kids butterfly and adding that event along with the individual medley to our next meet,” said Konruff. “Next year, my goal is to attend four meets and grow bigger, better and stronger each year.” It has been a big learning process for Konruff and her team and having the support of assistant coaches Jenna Gray and Denise Drake and swim team parents has been invaluable. To join, contact NCRD Aquatics at (503) 368-7121 or Coach Konruff at (503) 812-7679, or kkonruff@gmail.com.

The mighty little seed that captured the world Rosemary Thyme Mustard

This tangy mustard has impact! Very good in chicken dishes and in deviled eggs. 3 tablespoons of yellow mustard seeds 1 tablespoon of brown mustard seeds 3 teaspoons of fresh thyme (1.5 of dried) 3 teaspoons of minced fresh rosemary (1.5 of dried) 1/3 cup of apple cider vinegar 1/3 cup of water 1 teaspoon of light brown sugar or honey 3/4 teaspoon of sea salt Get out a non-reactive container, I like the pint sized canning jars, and add the mustard seeds, the herbs, water and vinegar. Put the lid on it and shake it up, then let set at room temperature for 2-3 days, shaking it up whenever you get the urge. Get out your blender and blend the mix with the sugar and salt. Blend until the mixture is thick but still a coarse texture. Taste and adjust the seasonings, does it need more herbs? You have creative license here. Will last three weeks in the fridge, longer in the freezer.

a child, parent or friend. She came back empty handed, understanding that she was not alone in her grief. This busy little seed also found its way to Galilee, 2000 years ago, where Jesus spoke of it in a parable. He said that the power of faith is like this least of seeds, mustard, that when sown it grows into the greatest of herbs, towering over all others. In fact this is exactly the reason that the Spanish Padres scattered mustard

seed along the trails to missions in California, it towered so high and grew so well, it clearly marked the trail. No matter where this mighty seed has traveled, the ones who truly discovered the amazing culinary uses of it were the French. There is no one that loves it more than them; they consume over 70 percent of the world’s crops in mustard. The French have been making and commer-

Brandy Mustard

This mustard is soft and smooth like a good brandy. Very user friendly and blends well with everything. 6 tablespoons of yellow mustard seeds 2 tablespoons of brown mustard seeds 3 tablespoons of brandy or Cognac (I used clear creek pear brandy.) 2/3 cup of white wine vinegar 1/3 cup of water 1/4 cup of light brown sugar or honey 1 teaspoon of salt Get out a non-reactive container, I like the pint sized canning jars, and add the mustard seeds, the brandy, and the water and vinegar. Put the lid on it and shake it up, then let set at room temp for 2-3 days, shaking it up whenever you need to get out some nervous energy. Get out your metallically frothifier (aka blender) and blend the mix with the sugar and salt. Blend until the mixture is as smooth as possible. Taste and adjust the seasonings.

cially selling Dijon mustard since 1634. They consider their mustard as important as wine, having different famous regions that produce their beloved crop. There is a good reason too; it is a flavor booster to many foods. I use it my salad dressings, soups, sauces and brownies. (Just kidding on the brownies.) Now you can make mustard and consume it like the French. It is very easy; all you need are the seeds, vinegar and a sturdy blender. You also need a bit of time as it take 2-3 days to soak the seeds in vinegar to get them to a tender stage to process them. Mother Nature’s has the both the brown and the yellow mustard seeds available to us lucky people.

This is it folks, your very own Grey Poupοn. So very yummy to use as your everyday mustard and to cook with. Excellent with bratwursts and in potato salad. 1/2 cup of dry white wine 1/2 cup of white wine vinegar 1/4 cup of brown mustard seeds 1/4 cup of yellow mustard seeds 1 teaspoon of salt Get out a non-reactive container, I like the pint sized canning jars, and add the mustard seeds, the brandy, and the water and vinegar. Put the lid on it and shake it up, then let set at room temp for 2-3 days, shaking it up whenever you need to get shake something up. Using your blender, blend the mix up with the salt. Blend until the mixture is as smooth as possible. (Keep in mind these whole grain mustards down blend until super smooth.) Taste and adjust the seasonings. Will last 3-4 weeks in the fridge, longer in the freezer.

There is a little, tiny, round seed that has the mightiest of history and prowess. This wee seed has had powerful conversations with Alexander the Great, Pope John XII, Queen Victoria and none other than Jesus The Christ and Golightly the Buddha. It has Gourmet been used Dana Zia by the ancients to heal everything from scorpion stings to toothaches. On top of all that it has been a culinary delight since the early 4th century and the first domesticated crop ever. What is this humble seed? None other than the mighty mustard seed. This seed’s birth place was the temperate regions of Europe so long ago no one remembers that it is indigenous there. There are three varieties of mustard, which is in the brassica family. There are the white or yellow seed, the black seed, and then the brown seed, all of which come from different regions of Europe. Mustard’s first use was as a medicinal plant by the Greek scientist Pythagoras in the 6th century B.C. He found it was a dandy poultice for scorpion stings and probably licked his finger after applying it one day and had a culinary epiphany because mustard really began to show up everywhere after that. I mean everywhere. Today it is often called the “Spice of Nations” because it is so universally used. It certainly was in India in the 5th century B.C., as Buddha knew enough about the mustard seed that he used it in a teaching to a distraught mother whom had asked Buddha to revive her dead son. He sent her out to gather mustard seeds from every family in the village whom had never lost
