Come to KALA for Booze & Bites

Imogen Gallery presents one-day jewelry art trunk show Saturday

ASTORIA — Jewels Curnow, a team of two, Robbie and Chantay Curnow will be at Imogen Gallery for a oneday event. A trunk show of their one-of-a-kind art jewelry pieces will be available from 3 to 6 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 23. All are invited to attend and enjoy light bites and champagne while learning directly from these master jewelers what is involved with the creation of each piece. The Curnows use innovative setting and casting techniques, creating a distinct look. Many of their designs

incorporate a primitive style RI FDVWLQJ WKDW XVHV FXWWOH¿VK bone, which creates texture. Robbie Curnow also custom blends many of his own alloys and hand selects the gemstones. The randomly set sapphires, diamonds and rubies embellish each piece in a rugged yet sophisticated composition, appearing to be created from some kind of geological event such as the force of glacial compression. The natural and organic sense of design is something that comes from a calculated consideration of geometry and proportions occurring

NOTES FROM THE EDITOR

With hiking shoes and Creek. About a half-mile in,

backpacks, my friend and I headed down the shaded forest path. We were on the Cape Falcon Trail in Oswald West State Park.

The hike is about 2.5 miles one way for a roughly 5-mile round trip. The hike is relatively easy and enjoyable, though it gains in elevation, and it’s family friendly; we saw several parents and kids on the trail. We arrived at 10 a.m. on a cool, overcast Saturday. Only three other cars were parked in the Cape Falcon parking lot, the northernmost lot in the park on U.S. Highway 101. The southernmost parking lot is closed until Dec. 31; contractors are working on a bridge. A popular day-use state park with one parking lot out of commission makes for plenty of midday parking hunters. At the end of our hike around 1 p.m., we were still emerging from the trees into the sunlight when an eager driver asked if we were leaving – an abrupt end to a lovely hike. Arrive early to guarantee a parking space. The Cape Falcon Trail works its way up a ridge on the north side of Short Sand

you come to a signed junction: The left leads down to Short Sand Beach; continue right along the Cape Falcon Trail. The trail rises and falls, passing over Kerwin Creek. The breeze whispered through the trees, refreshing us as we gradually climbed. We paused occasionally to take in the wonders of the forest. My friend spotted some Sitka spruce trees with large, round tumors called burls. We also passed the upper tier of Blu-

menthal Falls, a small scenic waterfall; you can see the lower tier at Short Sand Beach. Not long after, we came to an unsigned trail junction. The left path leads through a hedge of salal. The berry bushes are tall, and the path looked recently bushwhacked (you wouldn’t be able to get through otherwise). Birds twittered and sang; we even saw a squirrel. The path splits again, with both options leading to viewpoints. We look the left one, passed beneath trees, then climbed out onto a rock for snack time, enjoying a magni¿cent view: ocean, rock and beach, and Manzanita to the south bathing in the sun. After a break, we backtracked out of the salal jungle to the junction and took the other trail (which continues all the way to Arch Cape, if

you’re feeling adventurous). We went far enough to ¿nd another viewpoint: more breathtaking cliffs of Cape Falcon. Pick up next week’s Coast Weekend to read about another great hike in Oswald West State Park: Devil’s Cauldron.

2 teaspoons mixed pickling spice 4 large fresh whole artichokes 1/2 lemon

For the dipping butter: 3/4 cup unsalted butter 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, more to taste 1/4 teaspoon pickling spice, more to taste

Prep and steam the artichokes: Put 1 inch of water and the pickling spice in a wide pot. Set a steamer rack in the pot; it should rest just above the water, not touching it. Bring the water to a simmer over medium heat. Meanwhile, trim the artichokes. Slice off the stems and rub the exposed base with the lemon half. With a serrated knife, cut across each artichoke top, removing the top third. With scissors, cut off the pointed tip of each leaf. Rub the cut surfaces with lemon. Arrange the artichokes, stem end up, in the steamer. Cover the pot and adjust the heat so the water simmers and the artichokes steam. Cook until a knife pierces the bottoms easily and an outside leaf pulls out easily, 30 to 45 minutes, depending on size. (Check occasionally to be sure the water hasn’t boiled away.) Drain, stem end up, on several layers of paper towels.

Make the dipping butter: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat, add the lemon juice and pickling spice. Taste and adjust the seasonings. Serve the artichokes warm or at room temperature with dipping butter on the side. Pull off the outer leaves, dip them in butter, run your teeth across the tender bottom bit, and discard the leaf. When you get to the hairy part of the choke, scoop it out and discard it. Cut up the bottom and dunk each piece in the dipping butter.

Anyone who has lived in the Pacific Northwest west of the Cascade Range for any length of time has a Himalayan blackberry story, either picking or trying to destroy them – or both at the same time.

From top: Gerry Runyan, of Salt Lake City, Utah, picks blueberries with his daughter Hallie, 14, at Cranguyma Farms in Long Beach, Washington. The U-pick farm has 10 acres of huge blueberry bushes ripe for the picking from early July to mid October. Evergreen blackberry, as well as Himalayan blackberry, can be found all over the North Coast. Blueberry season is underway at the U-pick Cranguyma Farms in Long Beach, Washington. Cynthia Laughlin and Arthur Lilien, both of Portland, harvest blackberries in the Alderbrook neighborhood.

Dwight’s Blueberry Scones (I keep the sugar low for nutritional reasons, and because the blueberries don’t need it) Ingredients: 4 cups all-purpose flour 6 tablespoons sugar 4 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons cold butter 2 eggs 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons milk, divided 1 1/2 cups frozen blueberries Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In another bowl, whisk eggs and 3/4 cup milk; add to dry ingredients just until moistened. Place on a lightly floured surface; gently knead in the blueberries. Divide the dough in half. Pat each portion into an 8-inch circle and cut into eight wedges. Place on greased baking sheets. Brush with remaining milk. Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 to 20 minutes or until tops are golden brown. Serve warm. Yield: 16 scones. Enjoy in a civilized fashion while listening to J.S. Bach’s Sonatas for Violin and Harpsichord.

JUNIOR’S BARBECUE

N

Not long ago, I was driving through Gearhart on my way out of town toward Portland. I have made the trip loads of times, and I’ll admit that sometimes when driving, especially through familiar places, I tend to be on auto-pilot, and all the scenery sort of blends together. What jolted me out of this state was a smell – a heavenly smell – the smell of smoke, of hickory, of barbecue. It’s a singular smell, and though I didn’t have time to stop that day, I took note of the relatively new restaurant, Junior’s Barbecue, and made a mental note to visit soon. Junior’s Barbecue doesn’t subscribe to any one style of regional barbecue (the four most common styles come from Kansas City, Missouri; Tennessee; Texas; and the Carolinas); it rather sort of pays homage to all of them. What I respect most about Junior’s BBQ is its commitment to locally sourced, wholesome ingredients: organic meats and dairy products, for example, and no high fructose corn syrup. 2Q P\ ¿ UVW YLVLW WR -XQLRUœV , ZDV LP pressed, overall. The people working there were extremely friendly and accommodating. The giant smoker outside, with the aforementioned barbecue smell, is also great sensory marketing. The menu is somewhat small, but I am not usually bothered by that, especially when a restaurant is brand new. Better to prepare a few items well than to overextend and prepare lots of mediocre items. I was a tad bit disappointed that on the particular day I visited, there were no baby-back ribs available – they’re only prepared on Mondays. It seems to me that ribs are a barbecue staple, and should be offered every day, but perhaps as the restaurant settles

and grows, it will consider adding the ribs full time. A tri-tip sandwich was quite perfect. Tri-tip is a sometimes-overlooked cut of meat from the bottom of the sirloin, and though fairly lean, it KROGV D VPRN\ Ă€ DYRU ZHOO DQG FDQ EH H[WUHPH ly tender when prepared properly. The tri-tip at Junior’s was expertly done: tender, smoky and salty, and a side of curly “Qâ€? fries was also very good. This was a huge, hearty meal. I found the pulled pork to be a bit on the tough side. Pulled pork is often prepared from the pork shoulder, and it can sometimes be vexing to prepare‌ the internal temperature is directly related to how tender and juicy the result will be, and in my experience, the pork can hover in the mid-range temperature for a long time, prompting a lot of chefs to crank the heat

Junior’s Barbecue doesn’t subscribe to any one style of regional barbecue; it rather sort of pays homage to all of them.

up, resulting in tough pork. I cannot speculate as to whether or not this was the case, but I thought the meat a bit chewy and hard. I should note that the barbecue sauce being used at Junior’s is quite delicious, though: sweet and spicy. Let’s talk about side dishes for a moment. I have visited so many barbecue places that prepare the various meats well but overlook the side dishes, so I was happy that this was mostly not the case at Junior’s. The mashed potatoes are hearty and rugged, with an added kick from cracked peppercorns. The baked beans (to me, the most important side dish) also had a savory, sweet, slow-roastHG À DYRU ZKLFK , DSSUHFLDWHG , ZDV D ELW GLV appointed in the cole slaw, which didn’t have

mouth OF THE COLUMBIA COAST WEEKEND’S LOCAL RESTAURANT REVIEW Story by THE MOUTH OF THE COLUMBIA • mouth@coastweekend.com HOURS: Open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and 2 to 6 p.m. Sunday. PRICES: Prices are reasonable for the overall quality of food, ranging from $10 to $15. SERVICE: As mentioned, the service was excellent on my first visit, friendly and accommodating, and not as excellent on my second visit. ATMOSPHERE: The atmosphere is cozy, funky, and

stylish – some of the spirit you’d expect from a barbecue place, such as big, rugged wooden tables, but there are also modern twists. ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS: One would reasonably expect a barbecue place to be a bit of a meat-lover’s paradise, so I didn’t go in expecting vegetarian options. The addition of a gluten-free bun for their sandwiches would be a nice touch. DRINKS: Coffee, tea and soft drinks. Be sure to sample the Southern-style sweet tea.

enough of the traditional, mayonnaise-based dressing to stick together as a cohesive salad. Perhaps the restaurant might try a modern twist on the cole slaw, if a lighter cole slaw is what they’re after. Try the addition of apple or fennel. I returned on a separate occasion to sample the ribs, and they were a bit of a mixed bag for me. While the ribs themselves were tasty, with a savory, spicy rub, they were practically cold when they reached my table, which was disappointing. Although I mentioned it to the staff, comprised of a different crowd than the last time I visited, the issue was never addressed. The service was also slow, despite the fact that the restaurant didn’t seem busy. I found myself missing that warm, cheerful atmosphere from P\ Âż UVW YLVLW Junior’s BBQ has only been open for a few months, and usually I try to give a restaurant a month or two to get on its feet and “work out the kinksâ€? before I visit. While the restaurant VHHPHG WR EH RSHUDWLQJ VPRRWKO\ RQ P\ Âż UVW visit, it wasn’t the case on my second visit. I KRSH LQ WKH IXWXUH WKDW WKH UHVWDXUDQW ZLOO Âż QG its groove. One of the biggest keys to success in the restaurant business, in my opinion, is consistency. When we return to a restaurant, we like to be able to count on the experience meeting the expectations set by previous visits. I think Junior’s Barbecue is a great addition to the Gearhart area, and there are a lot of things being done well. I look forward to seeing the restaurant continue to grow in the coming months.

10 tips on how to become an Astorian By MATT LOVE

1. You have to move to Astoria because you were utterly compelled to do so by some mysterious force. There are certainly worse reasons to move to a city than mystery. 2. You must drink beer brewed in Astoria by Astorians. 3. You must devise a pun about Astoria that uses the first syllable of the word “Astoria.� 4. You must love rain or leave. You should also become this type of person: About a month ago, while in my favorite Astoria coffee shop, some idiot behind me made a comment to the barista and me that the weather was starting to look better with some sun and warmth. I snorted ... looked away and hoped the man would melt behind my back. Apparently my attitude was notice-

able and he asked, “What? Be happy the sun is out!â€? So I turned ... looked over my spectacles at him and said, “I don’t live in Oregon for the sun!â€? He shut up.Â

5. Recognize that by only a few sheer accidents of history that Astoria didn’t turn out to be the San Francisco of the West Coast with five million people living where roughly 10,000 do today. Realize that Astoria was lucky. 6. You must advocate that calligraphy become the official writing of Astoria on all important documents related to modern Astoria history. 7. You must register to vote. 8. You must understand what a piling buck is. 9. You have to hear a bar pilot’s stories in person. 10. You must listen to the Ship Report weekday mornings at 8:45 a.m. on KMUN (Coast Community Radio 91.9 FM) so you’ll know what those freighters on the Columbia River are carrying.

By RYAN HUME

Bycatch [baI•kăch] noun 1. the unwanted or unintended capture of marine creatures in gillnets while fishing for another targeted species. Bycatch is either discarded back into the sea or taken home by hungry fishermen and eaten, though some species find their way to market

Origin:

From by + catch. “Byâ€? from Old English, bÄŤ, (about 725 A.D.) meaning near or aside. Probably introduced before 1200, “Catchâ€? is borrowed from Anglo-French or Old North French, cacher, cachier, meaning to capture or snare (animals), which derives from the vulgar Latin, captiÄ re. “Lingcod are caught mainly as a bycatch of other fisheries, although there is a small directed fishery in the summer in Southeast Alaska, where fishermen drag “dingle barsâ€? (a solid steel bar with jigs trailing behind it) just off the bottom.â€? —Pacific Seafood website, www.pacseafood.com, copyright 2012, accessed on 8/12/2014

“Smart chefs and diners with an eye on sustainability will bring more bony cuts and B-list bycatch into the mainstream.� —Kat Kinsman, “Eat This List: 2014 Food Trend Predictions,� Eatocracy CNN, Dec. 19, 2013, eatocracy.cnn.com, accessed on 8/12/2014

Take a tour of Peter Pan’s Museum of Long Lost American Food, Drink and Kitchen Products.

A GLIMPSE INSIDE An occasional feature by MATT LOVE

Peter Pan Market and Deli The one luxury I afford myself in Astoria is an occasional hefty slice of the heavenly homemade carrot cake served up at the venerable Peter Pan Market and Deli on Niagara Avenue in the eponymously named Peter Pan district that must have something to do with the 1953 animated Disney classic, but who knows? Sometimes I prefer not to unravel mysteries. Quite honestly, it’s the best carrot cake I’ve ever tasted, and I always get the slice to go but never depart before taking yet another tour of Peter Pan’s Museum of Long Lost American Food, Drink and Kitchen Products (and their concomitant graphic design trends) from the 1940s to 1980s. Yes, a market and deli in Astoria has a free museum (which I just gave a title here), and a damn quirky throwback institution it is. From visiting, one gets the idea that each and every one of the exhibits was once for sale here and that Americans today are a completely different cultural animal than the 1950s. You are what you eat. Some of my favorite exhibits are: Bing Crosby ice cream, instant sherbet, tooth powder, various Bumblebee items, including a huge can of Dungeness crab, a 45 rpm record of the Bumblebee Tuna theme song, vintage sodas, a bottle of Keiko Draft Root Beer, a massage vibrator (for men), and a host of kitchen utensils that defy definition. There is more, much more, and even weirder exhibits than the aforementioned ones. Two words to entice you further: wasp nest. Matt Love lives in Astoria and is author/editor of 12 books about Oregon.
