fresh takes on Super Bowl

guacamole

By ALISON LADMAN Associated Press

Whether or not you like avocados, you really have to admire the way their marketers have totally owned the Super Bowl.

For no particular reason other than force of will, avocados — and the guacamole they produce — are indelibly linked with this major American sporting event. A Super Bowl party without guacamole — and its

trusty sidekick chicken wings — in many circles is considered downright unpatriotic.

So to help you better embrace the official fruit of the Super Bowl, we came up with 10 creative ways to make a

Basic Guacamole Start to finish: 10 minutes Servings: 8 2 avocados Juice of 1/2 lime 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1/2 cup diced tomato 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro 1/4 cup diced red onion Kosher salt and ground black pepper Hot sauce, to taste Directions 1. Slice the avocados in half lengthwise around the pits. Twist to separate the halves

better guacamole. We suggest starting with our basic recipe — which is pretty darn good just as is — then adding in whichever combination of flavors best gets you in the mood for the big game. and remove the pits.

2. Spoon the flesh into a medium bowl.

Use a fork to mash the avocado until as chunky or smooth as you prefer.

3. Stir in the lime juice, cumin, tomato, cilantro and red onion. Season with salt, pepper and hot sauce. Serve immediately.

Nutrition information per serving: 90 calories; 70 calories from fat (78 percent of total calories); 7 g fat (1 g saturated; 0 g trans fats); 0 mg cholesterol; 6 g carbohydrate; 4 g fiber; 1 g sugar; 1 g protein; 80 mg sodium.

10 Ideas for Guacamole 1. Fast and dirty: In place of the tomato, cilantro and red onion, stir in 1/2 cup of your favorite jarred salsa, 1 tablespoon olive brine, and 2 tablespoons chopped green olives.

2. Mango-balsamic: In place of the tomato, stir in the diced flesh of 1 mango. Use scallions in place of the red onion and 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar in place of the lime juice.

3. Chipotle-corn: Stir in 1 minced chipotle and 1 tablespoon adobo sauce from a can of chipotles in adobo. Add 1/2 cup corn kernels.

4. Tzatziki: Use 1 cup finely diced seedless cucumber in place of the tomato and red onion. Use dill in place of the cilantro. Stir in 2 minced cloves garlic.

5. Roasted garlic and poblano: Roast a head of garlic wrapped in foil with a little olive oil until tender and brown, about 30 minutes at 400 F. Roast a poblano pepper under the broiler, turning frequently, until the skin chars.

Carefully remove the charred skin from the pepper, then chop

the flesh. Squeeze the garlic pulp from the skin and mash. Mix both into the guacamole, omitting the onion.

6. Minted cotija: Follow the basic method for guacamole, but use 2 avocados, the lime juice, 3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint, and 2/3 cup crumbled cotija cheese. Season with salt and black pepper.

7. Maple-bacon: Follow the basic method for guacamole, but use 3 avocados, 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, 2 chopped scallions, and 1/2 cup chopped cooked bacon. Season heavily with black pepper.

8. Ginger-hoisin: Add 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger and 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce.

9. Citrus tabbouleh: Replace the tomato and onion with 3/4 cup purchased tabbouleh and the zests of 1 lemon, 1 lime and 1 orange.

10. Shrimp scampi: Use lemon juice in place of the lime juice and basil in place of the cilantro. Omit the cumin, tomato and onion. Stir in 1 cup chopped cooked shrimp, 2 cloves minced garlic and 1/3 cup shredded Parmesan cheese.

There are multiple ways to serve up guacamole for the Super Bowl, such as this maple bacon guacamole.

The program remains free thanks to underwriting from Recology Western Oregon, Wauna Federal Credit Union and Clatsop Community Bank.

Art celebrating elk on display in Seaside SEASIDE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The art exhibit â&#x20AC;&#x153;Proceed Asâ&#x20AC;? is on display now at Fairweather House and Garden and continues through Feb. 6. The show features coastal elk images by local photographer Neal Maine as well as an elk painting by Michael Muldoon.

After a 30-year career as a biology teacher at Seaside High School, Maine became WKH ÂżUVW H[HFXWLYH GLUHFWRU RI North Coast Land Conservancy, which he co-founded in 1986. Since his retirement in 2010, he has pursued his passion for nature photography WKURXJK 3DFLÂżF/LJKW ,PDJHV a partnership with his grandson Michael Wing, dedicated to raising awareness of coastal ecology and wildlife. A percentage of all photography sales are donated to North Coast Land Conservancy to help further this goal.

For this exhibit, Muldoon created an oil painting based on a photograph by Maine of two elk on the beach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This image is one of Neal Maineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s countless photos dedicated to raising awareness of coastal ecology and wildlife,â&#x20AC;?

Main and Muldoon are both fascinated with the habitat found along the coast and share a Seaside connection that spans 50 years â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Main was Muldoonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high school football coach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To connect with Neal in this way after almost 50 years, for me, sincerely, is priceless,â&#x20AC;? Muldoon said.

Muldoon will contribute

10 percent of the proceeds from the original painting as well as all giclee prints to the North Coast Land Conservancy.

After graduating Seaside High School and attending West Point Military Academy, Muldoon spent a few years teaching and coaching before settling in a 30-year career in sales and marketing with a major car company. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I loved my job, but I love retirement even more, especially the time it gives me with family, friends, travel, and of course oil painting,â&#x20AC;? he said.

An interpretive oil painter, Muldoon has studied at the Scottsdale Art School and with his mother, Cannon Beach resident and artist Betty Brower. Muldoon shows artwork in Arizona and currently at Trailâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s End Art Gallery in Gearhart and Fairweather House and Garden, located at 612 Broadway.

The Jackalope Saints are, from left, David Celis on trumpet, Steven Schob on drums, Jay Parshall on bass, Clinton Herrick on guitar and vocals, Lucas Welliver on keys, Sharon Cannon on fiddle, John Chap on mandolin/banjo/guitar/vocals.

Five Minutes With ...

THE JACKALOPE SAINTS Q&A by RYAN HUME We spoke with Clinton Herrick, the singer/songwriter at the core of Portland-based folk pop band the Jackalope Saints, about mythical creatures, murder ballads and the Mystery Condition prior to the band’s two-night engagement at the Adrift Hotel in Long Beach, Washington, at 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Jan. 23 and 24. Get a taste of the Jackalope Saints at www.jackalopsaints.com I like the name Jackalope Saints. How does the spirit of the jackalope — that mythical horned rabbit of the American West and Midwest — present itself in your music?

Thanks! One of the stories of the jackalope is that it can mimic any sound it hears. Cowboys would sing songs around campfires and attribute their echoes to the jacklaope, and in a way I feel like that is what we are doing, repeating what we have heard and mashing it all together to make the genre of music we play. That’s why we have such a hard time putting a label to our music genre and resort to Americana or folk, two fairly vague musical descriptions that cover an array of possible sounds.

The name also eludes to the idea of reverence.

As a musician or songwriter, who do you most

revere and why?

Bob Dylan and Paul Simon were the first two songwriters that had me obsessively listening to lyrics. I would (and still do) listen to their songs on repeat, dissecting every line of their lyrics.

Tom Waits and Townes Van Zandt both became huge influences once I started writing. Waits can paint a mental picture full of colors, sounds and smells in one line: “The road is out before me/the moon is shining bright/I want you to remember me/as I disappear tonight. But today is gray skies/tomorrow is tears/you’ll have to wait/ till yesterday is here.” He’s full of gold! Townes can break your heart with three well-placed words. His word choice with his lonely, desperate, honest voice cuts to the bone every time.

One thing that strikes

me about your lyrics, besides the strong Americana imagery, is your commitment to narrative storytelling within the tradition of the folk ballad. What types are stories are you trying to tell and to whom?

For the most part, unfortunately, we are telling sad stories to upbeat music.

Heartbreak, loss of a loved one, disappointments in life that we have gone through and most likely will all go through again.

Turmoil and\or unhappiness seems to be what cultivates inspiration for writing. It doesn’t have to be a life-changing issue; one gloomy day can be enough inspiration to write a murder ballad. A sunny summer day in the park will never lead to a new Jackalope Saint’s song. As far as who we are trying to tell the stories to, anyone who cares to listen and can relate in one way or another about what we are playing, be it musically or lyrically or both.

Last time I checked, you clocked in as a seven-piece ensemble. Is this the line-up one should expect during your twonight engagement at the Adrift Hotel?

We are a seven-piece group. There will be six of us for both of the shows at the Adrift.

Your last record, “Illuminations of the Mystery Tradition,” came out in 2013 and saw the Saints exploring an expanded sound with some very intricate arrangements.

What do you foresee for the Jackalope Saints in 2015?

“Illuminations of the Mystery Tradition” is where we really started messing around with actually composing music with the help of our friend Gabe Salo. He wrote out the intro, outro

and all of the interludes, and then we recorded them in hopes to have the album have a close-to-seamless sound from start to finish.

Since then we have added some new members, Sharon Cannon on fiddle and David Celis on trumpet. These two have been a huge part in the evolution of our music over the past year.

When we started playing music as the Jackalope Saints a few years ago, we were wanting to be a rowdy bluegrass band with face-melting solos (we still are advocates of this). But we have expanded our sound to a point where most everything now sounds as if it has purpose and has been thought out, adding (we hope) textures and depth to our music that we had never had before — while still working in some face-melting solos provided

by John Chap.

As far as what I foresee for the Jackalopes in 2015: I hope to mix the simplistic and direct songwriting style of say, Woody Guthrie, while blending in the full and rich sound of Ennio Morricone. In other words, we are going to aim for the stars and hope we at least hit the horizon.

NW word

Dismal

>Gܼ] mԥl@ adjective 1. dreary or woeful; of gloom, doom or melancholy in mood, condition, circumstance, sound or forecast 2. obsolete. Unlucky or calamitous; sinister or evil noun 3. informal, U.S. South: local name for a tract of swampland, usually near the coast, esp. in North Carolina 4. Dismal Nitch: AKA Megler Cove, a natural recess and present day Washington State Rest Area on the north shore of the Columbia River within Lewis and Clark National Historical Park Origin: First recorded in English as meaning “gloomy” in 1593.

Enters the language by way of the Anglo-Norman in 1256 through the Old French, dis mals, from the Medieval Latin, dies mali, literally meaning “evil days.” Medieval calendars marked two days each month as unlucky days, sometimes re-

nerd

ferred to as “Egyptian days” as these portentous dates were supposedly first noticed by Egyptian astrologers. DISMAL NITCH takes its name from a reference to the spot in Capt.

William Clark’s journal: “I had the canoes loaded in great haste and Set Out, from this dismal nitch where we have been confined for 6 days…”

The rest area was officially renamed in 2005 from the Megler Rest Area.

“Based on recent research, NPS and the Washington Historical Society (WHS) believe the actual Dismal Nitch – so named because of miserable weather conditions the expedition experienced there for six days starting Nov. 10, 1805 – is located about a mile east of the rest area.”

—“Dismal Nitch won’t be quite so dismal after facelift,” The Daily Astorian, Dec. 23, 2013

“[Rex] Ziak was the first writer to fully highlight the stay of Lewis and Clark on the Washington bank of the Columbia River before they overwintered at Fort Clatsop. His focus was on the 30 days between Nov. 7 , 1805, and Dec. 7, 1805, a time when Clark’s journal entries were vague and confusing. He researched the precise site of Dismal Nitch and other locations by going out in a canoe and checking on the locales.”

—“Rex Ziak’s story on national TV show tonight,” The Daily Astorian, Dec. 24, 2009
