In the heavy miasma of mist DQG GDPSQHVV WKDW FRYHUHG WKH 3DFLÂż F ODQGVFDSH at Long Beach, the few, the brave — those obsessive clam diggers — still clung to the far reaching hope of procuring a bucket of fat razors clams. “Dâ€? mentioned that the beach approach at Cranberry was in bad repair, shredded by the VXVWDLQHG WUDIÂż F RI EHDFK YHKLFOHV 2EVHVVLRQ runs in packs.

Tasting Festival and Homebrewer’s Competition
comers will get the opportunity to practice and expand upon developing skill sets, as students of Seaside High School’s Culinary Arts Program will design and prepare Friday night’s Brewer’s Dinner. Inviting the students to cook — and for the Culinary Arts Program to reap the proceeds after food and logistical costs — was Griffin’s second big addition to the 2015 festival. It came to him last year at the Oregon Governor’s Conference on Tourism in Sunriver. The banquet meal, served to many hundreds of attendees, had been prepared by the Seaside students. “I was struck by the quality of it,â€? said Griffin. “I thought, why can’t we have the kids do that at the Brewer’s Dinner in Seaside?â€? “I thought it was a great idea,â€? added Duffy. “We want to acknowledge this great culinary program here, that it’s a pipeline for kids to get to make exciting foods.â€?

Astoria artist Kirsten Horning practices her art at Clatsop Community College
K
Kirsten Horning mixes ink to create a lavender color, applies it to a sheet of Plexiglas, and uses a roller to apply an even coating to the plastic. She walks across the Clatsop Community College printmaking room to a light box, where she uses a cotton swab to carefully remove ink where there will be highlights in the final print. Her face wears a look of concentration. She walks over to a large floor-mounted press and carefully places paper and the finished Plexiglas plate on the bed of the press, covers it with a pad, and adjusts the pressure the roller will apply to the print and plate. “I had taken drawing and watercolor classes,” she says, “and acrylic painting classes. Then I took printmaking here at CCC, with Royal Nebeker, and something about the whole process of printmaking really grabbed me.” That was more than 15 years ago, and Horning has been taking classes ever since. She spends a lot of time at the college not just because she uses the art department’s press, but also because her

day job is as the distance education coordinator for the school. She’s the resource person for all online students. Horning turns the flywheel in the center of the press, which turns the roller, which presses paper and plate together. “That didn’t feel right,” she says. “Not enough pressure.” She tightens the pressure adjustment and repeats the process. That feels right, so she carefully lifts the print away from the plate. The print Horning is making today is a collagraph, a technique that is unusual for her. A rigid plate, in this instance the Plexiglas, is used to transfer an image from plate to paper. Different kinds of plates or materials on the plate produce different textures, and many effects are possible. Horning had painted a “goopy sand of acrylic medium and silicon carbide” onto her plate to create a raised, slightly textured surface. Horning has also done etchings and monotypes, but her favorite technique is woodblock printing. Invented in China about 2,000 years ago, this is the earliest printmaking technique. The woodblock is carved as

a relief pattern, with “white” areas cut away from the smooth wood surface; the image prints in reverse. For color printing, multiple blocks are used, each carved differently, one for each color, and overprinting of blocks may produce new colors. Horning says that the subjects that appeal to her are the natural world, plants and animals, but, “I’d like to do more landscapes and portraiture in the future.” With her husband, Tom, she is building a home studio and office that will enable her to devote more time to her art, and she hopes to be “full time, sometime.” It is difficult, she says, “to get a body of recent work together for a gallery show when you’re working full time.” Horning is a member of the North Coast Printmakers Collective, a group of about 15 printmakers, all of whom took courses from Nebeker (“I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to take classes from Royal,” says Horning). She exhibits with the group (the next show will be in

Master the art of deglazing a pan with steak au poivre By SARA MOULTON Photos by MATTHEW MEAD
O
Associated Press
You can make your pan sauce with cream, wine, stock, water or a combo.
Coat your steak in salt and cracked black peppercorns.
Bring the sauce to a boil, then simmer and reduce until the desired thickness.
One of the main reasons carnivores love meat is because of its depth of flavor. And the easiest way to magnify that flavor is to brown the meat. For those of you into science, this is called the Maillard reaction, after the French chemist who first described it in 1912. But there’s also another — and equally delicious — reason to brown meat. As meat browns, it gives off juices that concentrate in the bottom of the pan as little brown bits. Those flavorful brown bits don’t need to be lost. They are easily reconstituted with liquid after the meat has finished browning. And just that quickly you have the base of a deeply tasty sauce. All of which is to say, if you like big, meaty flavors, you’ll want to master how to make pan sauces. The good news is that it’s easy. If you’ve never made a pan sauce, this recipe for steak au poivre is a great way to get started. A French classic, steak au poivre is steak that is crusted with cracked peppercorns, then seared and served with a quick pan sauce. Not a fan of peppercorns? Just leave them off; the dish will still be delicious. The first thing to do when making a pan sauce is to pat the meat dry. Doesn’t matter is you’re cooking beef, lamb, pork or chicken. Grab some paper towels and pat the meat dry. And stick with tender cuts, such as steaks and cutlets. The meat won’t spend a whole lot of time in the pan. Next, season the meat well with salt and pepper just before putting it in the pan. Then you brown it in
fat over medium-high heat until it’s nicely colored and cooked to the doneness you desire. (A meat thermometer is your best friend here.) Remove the meat from the pan, transfer it to a plate, cover it loosely with foil, and let it rest. This ensures the meat’s moistness. Now you make the pan sauce. If I have some shallots on hand, I’ll chop them and toss them into the pan and brown them for a minute. If not, I’ll pour off most of the fat, then move on to the next step — adding liquid. It can be wine, stock, water, cream or a combo. Whatever you go with, add it and bring it to a boil. As it boils, the key is to scrape up the brown bits stuck to the bottom the pan. This process is known as deglazing the pan. Once the pan is deglazed, you lower the heat so the sauce just simmers. Next, pour in any juices from the meat that have drained onto the plate where it is resting. Want the sauce to be thicker? Throw in a tablespoon or so of butter, then turn off the heat and swirl around the butter until it’s melted. The recipe below includes cream, which naturally thickens as it cooks down, so I left the butter out. It’s pretty simple, actually. The pan sauce reaction, in humans, almost invariably takes the form of a huge smile! EDITOR’S NOTE: Sara Moulton was executive chef at Gourmet magazine for nearly 25 years, and spent a decade hosting several Food Network shows. She currently stars in public television’s “Sara’s Weeknight Meals” and has written three cookbooks, including “Sara Moulton’s Everyday Family Dinners.”
Steak au poivre is steak that is crusted with cracked peppercorns, then seared and served with a quick pan sauce.
Steak Au Poivre Start to finish: 35 minutes Servings: 4 3 tablespoons whole black peppercorns Four 3/4-inch-thick beef strip steaks (about 8 ounces each) 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus extra Kosher salt 2 tablespoons minced shallots 1/2 cup red wine 1 cup beef stock 1/2 cup heavy cream 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard 1 tablespoon cognac Chopped fresh parsley or chives, to garnish Directions 1. Using a mortar and pestle, coarsely crush the peppercorns. If you don’t have a mortar and pestle, you can use the bottom of a cast-iron skillet to crush them on a cutting board, or place them in a zip-close plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Spread the crushed peppercorns evenly on a plate large enough to accommodate your steaks. 2. Pat the steaks dry, then brush each with a bit of oil on both sides. One at a time, gently press each steak into the peppercorns to coat both sides. Season the steaks on both sides with salt. 3. In a large skillet over medium-high, heat the 2 tablespoons of oil. When the oil is hot, reduce the heat to medium, add the steaks and cook for 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer the steaks to a plate, cover loosely with foil and let rest while making the pan sauce. 4. Return the skillet to the heat and add the shallots. Cook over medium heat, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the wine, bring to a boil and simmer, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan, until reduced by three-quarters. Add the stock and cream, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Simmer until the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes. 5. Add the juices from the plate of resting meat, then whisk in the mustard and cognac. Season with salt. Transfer the steaks to serving plates, spoon some of the sauce over each, then garnish with chopped parsley or chives.

Group show ‘Substrates’ opens at the Cannon Beach Gallery CANNON BEACH — The Cannon Beach Gallery presents “Substrates,� a group show where the artists each use a variety of media to explore their own impressions and expressions of substrates. The exhibit will run from March 5 to 29 at the Cannon Beach Gallery. An artist’s reception will take place from 5 to 7 p.m. Saturday, March 7. “Substrates� will feature artists from Portland and Manzanita. Artists from Portland include Marilyn Joyce, Mary Ann Puls and Shawn Demarest. From Manzanita, artists are Liza Jones, Susan C. Walsh and Kathleen Ryan. “Since my work is inspired by what is experienced on my walks over a variety of terrain, the substrate literally becomes the land that I walk on, and the layers beneath,� writes Joyce
about her work on view at the gallery. “In further exploring the concept of substrate, I was drawn to a fundamental place within my art practice of drawing on paper. The paper is the foundation upon which the marks, thick and thin layers of material, form information based on the graphite and charcoal — a back-andforth dance that creates a tactile quality. In these drawings, the material itself took precedence over the image, with one drawing informing the next.� Puls creates non-representational art using a combination of re-purposed materials and substrates including pencil, paint and collage elements. Each piece records spontaneous impulses and thoughtful arrangements. “Everyday visual stimuli, words and an arm-chair interest

Stavebolt >VWƗY EǀOW@ noun 1. a log or section of log to be cut into staves 2. Stavebolt Landing: a landing about eight miles south of Astoria and a halfmile from where Stavebolt Creek empties into the Lewis and Clark River 3. Stavebolt Creek: a stream that begins approximately 6.8 miles north of Seaside running through Lewis and Clark territory Origin: Before 1398, staves as a plural of STAFF. Possibly related to the Old English stafas, referring to the rungs on a ladder (first recorded around 1175). The singular stave is a back formation from the plural first recorded in 1750. Stavebolt Landing is where logs were dumped to flow into the Lewis and Clark River before being floated to the mills. According to Lewis A. McArthur, the name of the landing and creek have been in use for many generations. “The mill formerly known as Sackett’s mill is busy turning out shooks, etc. There are about two miles of railway built and about two miles more remain to be built to connect it with Stavebolt Landing. Fine bodies of cedar, larch and hemlock are in that vicinity.” —The Daily Morning Astorian, Thursday, July 12, 1888, P. 3 “Communication read from D. J. Ingalls, superintendent of road district No. 4, informing the court that he had advertised for bids for the building of a bridge, between Stavebolt landing and Elandt’s place, and that he had received no bids, but that he will build the bridge for $28.” —The Morning Astorian, Saturday, Nov. 18, 1899, P. 4

“The House at the End of Hope Street” by Menna Van Praag Penguin, 2013
Other books
Plot Notes: Following an endless season of running rivers as a guide through South America, Africa and elsewhere, 21 year-old Sarahlee Lawrence longs for home, the parched high desert of her family’s ranch in Central Oregon near McKenzie Canyon. Having sketched rough blueprints for a log house while in Peru and Chile, Lawrence returns home to break ground amid the junipers. Enlisting the help of her father, Big Wave Dave, a somewhat reluctant rancher and avid surfer, Lawrence sets to erecting 1,981 feet of lodgepole pine into a sustainable homestead, and in the process, builds a deeper connection with her father while discovering all it takes to realize a dream. Take Away: Lawrence has a gift for finding the mystical in physical endurance. She writes of her family’s respective reverences for water — hers, whitewater rapids; her father’s, salt and sea — with a spiritual intensity. These are not pursuits or hobbies for them but defining characteristics. Land and water are at the intersection of fulfillment and regret, home and away, duty and freedom. While the building of her home is never less than a practical story of hard work and hardships and the bond between father and daughter,
