s the seasons change, so do ingredients, appetites and staff. A recent visit to the Adrift Hotel’s Pickled Fish, located four floors above a sandswept edge of the Long Beach Peninsula, coincided with the launch of a new fall bar menu. This rejuvenation is pastry cook and recently appointed bar manager Shelby Dodson’s first stab at a new, seasonally rotating cocktail list. One standout in the current lineup is the La Mistycal. Dodson said this cocktail was christened after a deliciously confused typo on the Mezcal Yuu Baal website, which suffers somewhat magically when translated into English. Quoted in full, the description reads, “the

traditions of the native Oaxacan producers of mezcal, that of which the complete process of production is artesanal impregnating in each of its products the mistycal, the exotic, and the absolutely delightful taste that makes this majestous drink.”

And really, who wouldn’t want the word “misty” locked inside of their “mystical” as the rains and fog return to the Lower Columbia? As it’s been said many times before, autumn is all about transitions, though there are always some folk resistant to change. For those not yet ready to give up their summer tequila, the La Mistycal is a perfect stepping stone into fall weather. Keep your tequila base, but let the rich, sunken smokiness of the mezcal and the sweet sting of the spiced apple shrub, a drinking vinegar percolating with the mulled flavors of cinnamon, clove and all spice, usher you into the season and prepare you for the warm treats that await during the upcoming holidays.

La Mistycal 1 1/2 ounces Zapopan tequila

1/2 ounce Mezcal Yuu Baal 1 1/2 ounces spiced apple shrub* Lemon rind Spiced apple wedge Ice Pour the tequila, mezcal and shrub into a cocktail shaker. Shake until cold and strain into a stemmed port or cocktail glass. Garnish with the lemon rind and spiced apple wedge. *Pickled Fish makes this autumnal shrub in-house. Wedges of Granny Smith apples are soaked in a combination of apple cider vinegar and Calvados apple brandy spiked with a mix of cinnamon, clove and all spice. Bring the pot just to a boil, remove from heat and then let steep for fifteen minutes before straining out the liquid into a nonreactive container for storage. Use the leftover spiced apple wedges as garnish. —Recipe courtesy of Shelby Dodson, bar manager, CW Pickled Fish, Adrift Hotel, Long Beach, Washington

Take that, race doubters occasional jog up my street, perhaps. But long-distance running? Not so much. This would be a first for me. Yep, I told her. It was the fourth time in three days I had revealed my quixotic, possibly delusional plan to run the full 10K (6.2 miles): from Dismal Nitch Rest Area in Washington, over the Astoria Bridge, followed by a last loop near the Astoria Riverwalk en route to the finish line at the foot of Basin Street.

And it was the fourth time someone had looked at me as if I had misplaced my meds. A colleague, unable to hide her incredulity, asked: Have you ever done that before? (As if that’s something I should have considered.) It’ll shock your system, she warned. Even my running mate, a seasoned marathoner, automatically assumed we would be walking.

exactly add up to a vote of confidence. As race day approached, I began to wonder what on earth I had gotten myself into. Let it therefore be known that on the fifteenth of October, in the year of our Lord 2017, I ran the Great Columbia Crossing from start to finish. (Well, alternated, really, between running and jogging, followed by an exasperated sprint near the end to get it over with.) It occurred to me that

I’ve never fully appreciated the grandeur of the bridge or the stunning panorama of the Columbia River while merely driving over it. But on Sunday, as the Oregon landmass got closer, I took a few moments to behold our little port town, tucked into the hillside and sprawled along the riverfront, a site of historic rendezvous among Native people, explorers and empires. The Crossing, truth be told, wasn’t something I wanted to do, but something I wanted to have done. That changed as I reached the peak of the bridge; I was actively enjoying myself, no

longer worried about eating pavement. I had made it that far without stopping, and by then I knew I could finish without stopping. Total time: One hour, 9 minutes, several seconds. Roughly 11-ish minutes per mile. “Shock my system”? Haughty laugh. True, my knees feel like they’re going to buckle — I will be limping for a few days — but no shattered shins, no internal bleeding, no hallucinations, no chafing. Win. “I did believe in you, sort of,” my running mate texted me afterward. Will I run next year? Do doubters doubt? CW

Regional Recipes, peRsonal poRtRaits J Regional recipes, personal portraits Astoria native’s maiden cookbook, ‘Dig, Shuck, Shake,’ picking up steam

By LAURA CHERAU FOR COAST WEEKEND

ohn Nelson, an Astoria native, has just put out his first cookbook “Dig (a clam), Shuck (an oyster), Shake (a crab): Fish and Seafood Recipes from the Pacific Northwest.” The book is a charming, user-friendly, illustrated guide to eating from the ocean. It’s packed with lively anecdotes from Nelson’s childhood in Ilwaco, and his disarming style, coupled with handy illustrations, makes even complicated recipes — such as “poached Petrale sole with shrimp filling” or “sturgeon and dumplings” — a cinch. With stories he began writing down in 2006, the book was finally published in March 2017. In August, Nelson gave a reading at Powell’s Books in Portland. “I had no idea it would take off like it did. It was the little book that could,” Nelson said. “It just chugged and chugged along.” The book starts with straightforward instructions, a how-to of sorts — how to loin a tuna or fillet a salmon, for example, or how to dig and clean a razor clam. Which makes it, in my opinion, geographically necessary for the local kitchen and somewhat indispensable. Of course you can find anything online now, but how nice to have these words of reason at your fin-

remembered. “John and I cooked together for seven years, and it was wonderful.” By virtue of Nelson growing up locally, he was exposed to “farms and fishermen, both the land and the sea, and his recipes reflect that,” she said. Nelson’s step-father, Geno Leech — a fisher-poet who contributed a poem to the book’s frontispiece — said his stepson was “lucky he grew up when he did. A lot of this information is going by the wayside.” Leech admitted that, while it’s true you can learn how to shake a crab on Google, “it’s nice to have something real. It’s nice to tell a little story to get there.” The gastronomic cultures represented in the recipes of “Dig, Shuck, Shake” are varied. Scandinavia, Asia, Germany, South America and other locales suggest their flavors in the book. Nelson said these cultures presented themselves naturally during his upbringing. “The Pacific Northwest really is a melting pot, and I’m not sure how much people really realize that,” Nelson said. “You can’t grow up here and have blinders on and have one flavor profile. It’s just not accurate.” Perhaps that approach, he said, is why the book “seems to be doing well in England, Germany, Austria, Sweden and Japan.” If you are interested in purchasing “Dig, Shuck, Shake,” it can be found at Lucy’s Books in Astoria and Cloud & Leaf Bookstore in Manzanita.

Recently, Nelson was living in central Oregon, outside of Bend, where he helped start up the Brasada Ranch golf resort and began contributing his food knowledge to local and national cable and radio cooking shows. He’s owned several restaurants and worked as an executive chef and instructor at the Cascade Culinary Institute. Nelson recently relocated with his family to Pacific City. He is thrilled to return to the coast and has been spending time raking, happily, for clams.

The Northwest ‘melting pot’

Asked about his family’s reaction to the book, given that so much of their history is presented there, Nelson said they were pleasantly surprised. “It’ll be in our family and something for our kids to enjoy and draw upon in the future, which is important to me.” Several stories revolve around Nelson’s mother and stepfather. His mother, Joanne Friberg Leech, was the owner of Sanctuary in Chinook for many years. There, mother and son began cooking together. “He really took to it,” she

CONTRA DANCE KICKS OFF SUBMITTED PHOTO

Bre Gregg + The Brotherhood

Jazzin’ it up on the Peninsula LONG BEACH, WASH. — Bre Gregg — the powerhouse jazz and blues singer of Bre Gregg + The Brotherhood — will perform with the trio at the Peninsula Arts Center 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 21. Doors open at 6 p.m. Gregg is wildly soulful. When she opens her mouth, you hear a rich musical history of back-alley clubs filled with smoky jazz, visceral blues and deeply authentic swamp soul. Her voice is technically superb after years of study and performance, but her ability to connect with the music and her audiences makes her performances profoundly intimate. Born into a family of musicians, Gregg was singing before she could talk. After earning a degree in music, followed by study and performance in Italy, New York and California, she moved to Portland and spent the next few years entering the music scene and releasing her first CD, “On the Wind.” Bre focuses on two main projects: Bre Gregg + The Brotherhood and

Midnight Honey. Bre Gregg + The Brotherhood features Gregg’s original music and her signature vocals combined with the mind-bending lead-guitar virtuosity of Northwest treasure Dan Gildea. The Peninsula Arts Center (peninsulaartscenter. org) is located at 504 Pacific Ave. N., Long Beach, Washington. Tickets are $15 and available on Brown Paper Tickets, by emailing events@peninsulaartscenter.org, or by calling Bill Svensen at 360-901-0962.

Food for thought: Author reads from culinary memoir MANZANITA — Author Diana AbuJaber will read from her latest book, “Life Without a Recipe” at the Hoffman Center for the Arts 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 21. The new culinary memoir has been described as “a book of love, death, and cake.” Prominent food writer Ruth Reichl calls it “bold and luscious” and “indispensable to anyone trying to forge their own truer path.” Admission for the evening reading is $7. Diana Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Abu-Jaber Following AbuJaber’s reading and Q-and-A in the evening, we’ll have our popular Open Mic where up to nine local or visiting writers will read five minutes of their original work. The suggested (not required) theme for the evening’s open mic is “Food Memories.” Abu-Jaber was born in Syracuse, New York, to an American mother and a Jordanian father. Her family moved to Jordan a few times throughout her childhood, and elements of both her American and Jordanian experiences, as well as cross-cultural issues, especially culinary reflections, appear in her work. Her novels and a previous memoir have won numerous awards, including the Arab-American National Book Award, the PEN Center Award for Literary fiction, the American Book Award, the Northwest Booksellers’ Award and the Oregon Book award for Literary Fiction. Her books have been included in many “top books of the year” lists by National Public Radio, the LA Times, the Washington Post, the Oregonian and others. Diana teaches writing and literature at Portland State University and divides her time between South Florida and Portland.

‘Sweet and Salty: Writing the Food Memoir’

Abu-Jaber will teach a writing workshop at the Hoffman Center for the Arts during the day on Saturday, 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Culinary memoirs are wildly popular,

taking readers beyond memory into the senses — especially the deep pleasures of the appetite. Food sharpens the focus, introduces universal themes and endows writing with imaginative, emotional and physical layers of complexity. This workshop will look at ways to write life stories through the culinary lens. There will be prompts, exercises, discussions and food. Attendees will taste, think, compare notes and consider all the ways our connections to eating give rise to remembering and inspiration.

Come and see what you cook up! Bring your curiosity, appetite, sense of play and sense of humor. The workshop will be held at the Hoffman Center. Tuition is $40. Register at hoffmanblog.org/register-for-workshops. The Manzanita Writers’ Series is a program of the Hoffman Center and will be held there (594 Laneda Ave.).

ASTORIA — KALA welcomes author and ecologist Robert Michael Pyle for a book release celebration 7:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 20. The author will read, and a book signing and complimentary pie social will follow. Cocktails are available. Admission is $8. The new reissue of Pyle’s “Where Bigfoot Walks” is a spectacular, moving and witty narrative exploration of not only the phenomenon of Bigfoot, but also the human need to believe that something is out there beyond the campfire — and that wildness remains. Awarded a Guggenheim to investigate the legends of Sasquatch, Pyle trekked into the unprotected wilderness of the Dark Divide near Mount St. Helens, where he discovered both a giant fossil footprint and recent tracks. He searched out Indians who told him of an outcast tribe, the Seeahtiks, who had not fully evolved into humans. He attended Sasquatch Daze, where he met scientists, hunters and others who have devoted their lives to the search, and realized that “these guys don’t want to find Bigfoot — they want to be Bigfoot!” A handful of open-minded biologists and anthropologists countered the tabloids he studied, while rogue Forest Service employees and loggers swore of an industry conspiracy to deep-six accounts of unknown, upright hominoid apes among us. In the years since publication, the author’s fresh experiences and finds

Stalking the wild mushroom By DAVID CAMPICHE FOR COAST WEEKEND

W

ay back when, reading “The Lord of the Rings” to my three children, I came across an early chapter when the four hobbits, on the run from the diabolical ring wraiths, stumble upon a mushroom patch, abscond with the lovely morsels, and quickly prepare a rabbit stew with their bounty. No matter that evil was on their trail, their stomachs ruled the day. I suppose, if you’re about to be subjugated by evil forces, you might as well get a lick in and eat a batch of the edible fungi first. It may just be your last divine moment. Please, I’m not suggesting that if you are outrunning a freak wave, you should dally and prepare such a meal, but you might reach down, grab a few fungi on the run and prepare them later, while sitting atop a tall dry hill — assuming, of course, you have brought along butter and cream and maybe a splash of Armagnac.

Varieties galore

Maybe those mushrooms were Agaricus campestris, the “meadow mushroom.” Maybe fairy ring mushrooms. Maybe others — man on horseback, deliciosos, porcini. There are dozens if not hundreds of varieties scattered across North America (and The Shire). There are hundreds in Pacific and Clatsop counties. The meadow mushroom — 10 centimeters wide, convex, white to creamy in color with a dry smooth cap — loves cow fields and smooth grassy yards. Picked young before they turn dark brown under the cap, they sauté into delectables perfect in stews, omelets, pastas and, well, darn near any earthly concoction that enters a sauté pan. Those young hobbits were smart creatures, in love with fine country cuisine. Here, in Pacific and Clatsop counties, a plethora of the stemmed fungi dominates forests, fields and backyards during the fall. They love a moist warm climate, normally September, October and early November. Recent bouts of drought have postponed this sprouting pattern, but hope lives in the minds and hearts of truly addicted mycologists. Continued on Page 22 PHOTO BY LAURIE ANDERSON

Though growers have met with some success in cultivating oyster mushrooms, it remains a celebrated find to stumble upon them in the wild.

on Craig, the executive director and founder of the Astoria International Film Festival, feels such a strong connection to the city of Paris he believes he might have walked its backstreets in a past life. His affinity for the place led to a love of cinema that motivates him to this day. “For me, it’s part of my roots,” he said of the French capital, which he visits habitually. Craig’s fondness for France as the birthplace of cinema and a creative hub of artists from around the world endows the upcoming festival — taking place Friday through Sunday, Oct. 20 through 22, at the Liberty Theatre — with a multicultural richness. And his affection for the Pacific Northwest and its homegrown talent gives the annual event a local flair. A self-described “black Bohemian” from Portland who has found success as a filmmaker and author — he bears his talent and accomplishments humbly — Craig feels education is an important part of what he can contribute to the region’s culture. Now in its 11th year, the film festival is a “vehicle to deliver that education,” he said. Viewers can check out foreign films, American classics, documentaries and shorts created by regional filmmakers, all threaded together by a theme: “The Human Spirit.”

consciousness — bringing awareness to topics that are sensitive, controversial or ignored. “I always felt I wanted people to scratch their heads going out of the door after seeing a film,” Craig said. “To be able to do that is really important.” This year’s festival will feature “I Am Not Your Negro,” a 2016 documentary based on an unfinished manuscript by American writer and social critic James Baldwin.

James Andrew Beard

“A Man Called Ove” (2015) is a dramedy about an unexpected friendship.

“Whiplash” (2014), about an aspiring drummer and his intense teacher, won J.K. Simmons an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.

At the time of his death in 1987, Baldwin had only completed 30 pages of a book meant to be his personal account of the lives and assassinations of Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr. and Medgar Evers, three of Baldwin’s close friends. “I Am Not Your Negro” is filmmaker Raoul Peck’s approach to finishing the story Baldwin was unable to. The film will be followed by a one-hour forum for viewers to dialogue about the events, people and truths it portrays. Astoria resident Elaine Bauer, who has attended the festival several times and volunteers on occasion, said Craig typically hosts a forum of this sort “after his most profound offering of the season.” Craig will sometimes pose a question, but largely allows the audience to drive the discussion, share their views and make their own discoveries. “It’s fun — it’s very dynamic,” Bauer said. The forums are “not nearly as well-attended as they deserve to be,” she added, but attendance seems to have grown over the years.

Other films showing Friday and Saturday include the 2015 Swedish comedy-drama “A Man Called Ove,” written and directed by Hannes Holm; the 2014 drama “Whiplash,” directed by Damien Chazelle; the documenChallenging worldviews tary “Dina,” by Dan Sickles and Antonio Some viewers may be unaware Santini; a collection of 1998 shorts of events and people that shaped by the Portland Oregon Women’s past and present social movements Film Festival; and “The Noble Spirand have forced critical change in it,” a documentary about Fred Noble the country. directed by Dane Henry.

the area. It’s an honor for me to be able to honor him.” After the screening, festival-goers are encouraged to stop by Baked Alaska, where 12th Street meets the Riverwalk, to pay tribute to Beard. They can share their favorite story about the renowned chef and foodie, even if they did not know him personally. Craig’s personal, and brief, encounter with Beard took place in Paris in the 1970s. Heading back to a hotel with his wife to relax for the evening, the couple crossed paths with Beard, whom Craig recognized on sight. Craig remembers telling Beard how much he appreciated his work and that he was a big fan. Perusing Craig’s grocery bag full of cheap French beer and potato chips, Beard joked, “Yeah, it looks like you are.”

For a local subject, there will be a screening of the 2017 documentary “James Beard: America’s First Foodie,” directed by Beth Federici. Beard, who was born in Portland and died in 1985, was a chef, a pioneer of the food media industry and an early champion for the importance of sustainability and localism. He spent many childhood summers in Gearhart. “We always try to do something connected to this region,” Craig said. “James Beard was one of the creative and talented people from

BELOW: “The Defiant Ones,” Stanley Kramer’s 1958 crime drama starring Tony Curtis and Sidney Poitier, will be the last film of the 2017 festival.

Social significance

Bauer, who typically attends as many of the films as she can in any given season, said she is impressed by the caliber and sincerity of the festival under Craig’s direction. “Almost everything he does has some very important social significance to it,” she said, adding that, over the years, the event has exposed her to several thought-provoking films she might not otherwise have seen. The cost for admission is $10 per film or $80 for a full festival pass. Tickets can be purchased at the door. For more information, visit goaiff.com/ CW

“The Noble Spirit” (2014) is a short documentary about Fred Noble, an orphan who became an extreme skier, windsurfer and paraglider, and continued living life to the fullest even after being diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s Disease.

A

stroll through the Port of Ilwaco is transportive. Cross from solid ground to the bobbing docks and you might as well be in an alternate dimension. Gaze upon the resting boats, marvel at the wonder and mystery of life at sea. It is at once romantic and foreboding. The view from Salt Hotel & Pub’s second-floor perch is pretty good, too. The pub, which opened late last year, marked the final phase of renovation to the two-story hotel. Built in 1972, it was purchased and given a makeover in 2015 by Laila Brown and Jules Orr. (Into the hotel’s lobby they merged an existing business, Skookum Surf Co.) With hip amenities and design, Salt Hotel & Pub brings a modernity heretofore absent from the port’s rough-hewn entrenchment. This crossroads is amiable. Food and atmosphere that strike delightful balances between hearty and refined, forward and unpretentious, certainly greases the wheels of locals and tourists alike. One night while dining at the bar I met both a professional tuna fisherman and a TV documentarian from Portland. One was celebrating the end of a grueling season. The other was on assignment, filming such back-breaking labor. Munching on a plate of deepfried oysters and sipping a North Jetty IPA, the fisherman was celebrating a return to solid ground after a full month at sea. Over the summer, he and two boat mates — the captain and his dog — had reeled in some 50 to 60 tons of albacore. All-too-familiar with the tuna that sloshed around in the 60-foot boat’s icy, salty hold, the fisherman couldn’t have been less interested in eating any. “Yellow

tail, sure, I’d have that,” he said. “But, right now, I’d rather eat sardines than albacore.” Me, I’m quite happy with the albacore. Especially at Salt, where it comes from daily catches and processors just a few doors down. Salt’s tuna has been caught and processed overnight, at the oldest. Which is to say it’s quite fresh.

And that local, immediate sourcing led me to do something I rarely do: order Fish & Chips ($16). (Salt also uses albacore in a Blackened Fish Taco appetizer and a Smoked Tuna Melt.) A trio of tennis-ball-sized hunks, the fish steaks — and, with such thickness, “steaks” is a fair descriptor — were cleanly beer-battered, light and crunchy.

The tuna was juicy, clean and tender, pure and essential. And while I often scoff at restaurants calling the fish in their fish-and-chips “sushi-grade,” at Salt, where it’s not overcooked, the label wouldn’t be a stretch. (Though, to be sure: Salt doesn’t use such nomenclature.) Oh, the fries are spot on, too — hand-cut, crispy and full of body. Another dish I hardly ever order is clam chowder. Like fish-andchips, chowder on the coast is often dumbed down, more begrudging tourist service than thoughtful inspiration. Salt’s chowder is another story, one that has as much in common with steamer clams or bisque as with what we normally think of as chowder. Splitting the difference between a meal-worthy bowl and an appetizer-cup, Salt’s Clam Chowder ($12) is cooked to order. Rather

than thick mush, it’s a simple marriage of pure, quality ingredients. Willapa Bay steam clams (complete with shell) stir with softened hunks of red potatoes, celery, supple bacon and corn in a sweet, heavy cream sauce that’s flecked with rosemary. Rich, oceanic and earthy, it’s whole food cooking that’s marvelously satisfying. Like salty, savory, sea-kissed donut holes, I also enjoyed the Jerk Spiced Clam Fritters ($9), though they could’ve leaned further into the jerk seasoning. I appreciated the perky, house-made rémoulade. (The tartar with the fish-and-chips was house-made too, and livelier for it.) Salt isn’t all seafood; there are red meats and a penchant for pork belly. (It’s also worth noting: the veggies, particularly the greens, are admirably fresh). The burgers looked stout and solid. One comes crowned with both pork belly and onion rings. But on the specials board I noticed Elk Sliders ($15) and couldn’t say no. The flavorful, peppery patties were well-cooked and well-seasoned, then wrapped in salty, prosciutto and coated with a smear of sharp, dry goat cheese. Altogether, a wonderful mash-up of lean and luscious. Indeed, there was hardly a misstep in my trips to Salt. Down to the toasting and buttering of the bread, they sweat the details. Elevated and comforting, the menu is enticing all the way through. In my trips, this made settling on what to order almost agonizing. The best approach may be to bring friends and share. In deciding, try to find out what’s abundant. Is it the height of albacore season? Or are the Dungeness crabbers in full swing? Whatever you end up with, though, take a moment before or after to wander the docks. You may come across the boat that caught your dinner. CW

Watercolorist teaches how to paint pictures of boats ASTORIA — The Astoria Art Loft will host a workshop, “Painting Boats in Watercolor” with Stan Riedesel, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Oct. 20 and 21. If you are passionate about painting boats, this is the workshop for you. The fee is $120. Riedesel paints images of Southwest Washington,

with its small river towns and their people. Fishing and fishermen are a favorite subject. Farms, beaches and the ever-present rain lend the area its particular beauty, captured in watercolor. Riedesel has been encouraged by family to draw and create from his youth in Chehalis, Washington. Building small wooden

boats as a hobby contributes to his drawing. Later, both in college and as an elementary school teacher, Riedesel continued his love of art, though he found little time to practice it. After retiring with his wife, he sought to expand his love of art buy taking classes with Eric Wiegardt in Ocean Park. Wiegardt’s

skill with sketching and painting has rubbed off on Riedesel, as has a love of impressionism. Riedesel is a member of both the Peninsula Arts Association and Northwest Artist Guild, on the Long Beach Peninsula and has found success in showing his work. He can be reached at sriedesel@comcast.net.

Cannon Beach’s Stormy Weather Arts Festival turns 30 CANNON BEACH — The Stormy Weather Arts Festival, one of the Cannon Beach’s most popular events for more than a quarter century, will celebrate its 30th anniversary Friday through Sunday, Nov. 3 to 5. Since its inception, the first weekend in November has been a celebration of the arts in Cannon Beach, where you can immerse yourself in the creative culture that has long been a part of this community. The event focuses on a wide range of visual and performing arts, offering the opportunity to meet artists and discuss their work, listen to local musicians, take in gallery events and experience why Cannon Beach has been recognized as one of “The 100 Best Art Towns in America.” In recent years, the event has grown to include a spotlight concert showcasing accomplished and up-andcoming musicians in the intimate setting of Cannon Beach’s Coaster Theatre Playhouse; the Dancing in the Rain Fashion Show, featuring apparel and accessories from local and national designers; and Brews, Blues & Barbecues, where guests can sample local beers while enjoying live blues and a barbecue lunch. The festival kicks off with Friday night’s Stormy Weather Arts Benefit Cocktail & Dessert Party, where guests interact with professional jewelry artists and check out their work. The evening also includes a silent auction and raffle featuring Northwest travel packages. The auction and raffle will benefit children’s art programs in Cannon Beach, including the Coaster Theatre’s Coaster Kidz Theatre Camp, the Cannon Beach Arts Association’s children’s Summer Art Camp, and the Sea Ranch

“Brown Face” By David Campiche A mushroom ten inches high, Hidden in clumps of saw grass. Stem thick and fleshy as a child’s forearm. The top — flesh of another color. A tawny shaman’s face, Craggy ancient skin. Hard weather has cut them both. Knife of surgeon’s steel Slices porcini stem, exposing Tender flesh, white and pure. Mind already coupling mushroom mustiness With olive oil and brandy, Basil from the garden, Sea salt and cracked pepper. Searing heat of sauté pan Alters texture from firm to supple. Salivating now. From the deep green forest Shaman face returns. His ebony eyes are upon you, Judging your every move. Quickly, Dig a hole in the dark and musty duff. Lay the mushroom in the hole. Take care, So that those who have been here before Can return. Cover flesh with needles and loam. Wind pushes hard out of the north, Cold on your face. Turn deftly to the south. Never look back. Disappear Into the green forest. Go. Go. Wild is upon you.

Sublime and mysterious

I find much mysterious about mushrooms, something that pulls the imagination like a well-crafted story. As fall approaches, a sort of anxiety overtakes me. I begin to take walks, some deep into forests, and some as close as the backyard. A week or two after the first heavy rain of the fall, one discovers revealing signs. One of the first mushrooms to expose its cap is a small Boletus called a “slippery jack.” Though not a favorite mushroom, it is decent when picked dry (they turn slick and mushy when wet) and about the size of a quarter. Its underbelly is pale yellow and features more of a sponge-like belly than most varieties. This Sponge Bob identity characterizes a Bolete. The favorite sought-after Bolete is the porcini or Boletus edulus (“King Bolete”). Life is always better when a couple of the fat-belly mushrooms rest on the chopping block.

Harvest season would not be complete in these parts without a plentiful selection of local wild mushrooms.

The porcini

Thick as your wrist with a cap that can approach twelve inches, the Boletus edulus is beloved around the world, particularly in France and Italy. Its color is tan and the flesh intoxicating when sautéed slowly with olive oil or grilled with a swipe of that virgin oil and topped with Kosher salt and cracked black pepper. In this case, simple is good. The porcini is superb over steaks, in stews or atop a sandwich with fresh tomato, and on my wife’s sourdough rye. The meaty

One day, deep in a marsh, pockmarked with green moss-backed knolls, I happened upon a half-dozen perfect King Boletes. I lay on my belly trance-like, just staring at my lucky find, but a sixth sense told me I was being watched. I ran my eyes back and forth across the hummock, until, on the third pass, they stopped and focused on a four-point buck. He watched me cautiously, standing plumb

straight without the slightest movement. I thought this a perfect moment. Hunting mushrooms, things happen, and they can be notable, if not magical. And if you get caught in a rainstorm or submerged up to your waist in ditch or pond, remember: Back home, a great meal may materialize. Pour a glass of fine Washington Cabernet, and slice the butter-sautéed Porcini into bites that melt in your mouth. Indulge in the sublime. Remember, we are grazing animals but the luckiest of hunters. CW

BOOK SHELF // GLIMPSE // WILDLIFE // POP CULTURE // WORDS // Q&A // FOOD // FUN “A Sideways Look at Clouds” By Maria Mudd Ruth Mountaineers Books 208 pp $24.95

BOOKMONGER Look up for endless entertainment When our daughter was just a tot, my husband would take her out every evening at sunset and they would scan the sky for what she called “pink cow’ds.” She’s in grad school now, but my husband and I still try to take in the skyscape at sunset. Unfortunately, that doesn’t mean I’ve become well-versed in clouds — once I get beyond cirrus and cumulus, I’m a dunderhead — which rhymes with thunderhead — which delivers us (at last! some of you are thinking) to the subject of this week’s book review: a hybrid natural history/ memoir called “A Sideways Look at Clouds.” Olympia-based author Maria Mudd Ruth has written more than a dozen books on natural history topics, but as she confesses in her prologue to this book, “I learned the names

of the clouds when I was forty-eight years old — too old, it seemed, to be learning something I should have memorized long ago with my multiplication tables and state capitals.” Here’s somebody who is down-to-earth enough to talk to the 99.9 percent of us who walk underneath clouds all the time, but don’t have a clue about how they form, why they assume different shapes and different colors, and what makes them precipitate. And really, in a region where clouds are pretty ubiquitous, shouldn’t we have at least a nodding acquaintance with our neighbors in the sky? Ruth begins with a brief historical review of how the study of clouds developed. It wasn’t until the early 1800s that the Latin nomenclature for clouds was systematized and broadly

adopted. Only two centuries later, technologies such as weather satellites, Doppler radar and so on are rendering even some of those terms passé. Which is rather a shame. Consider some of the poetry of accepted variety names in the polysyllabic cloud lexicon — descriptors such as “spissatus” (thickened), “castellanus” (castle-like) and “floccus” (tufted) are just fun to roll off the tongue.

The author takes a multidisciplinary approach to learning about clouds. She swims in a fogbank, and tours an Iowa factory that creates research-verified “virtual skylights” that simulate real sky in hos-

pitals. She visits museums to look at cloud paintings, then takes art lessons in how to paint clouds. She sits out on her front lawn to observe how clouds move and change over time. Ruth writes about sun dogs and glories, and about clouds on other planets. She discusses thermals and relates the true story of one man’s harrowing parachute ride through a thermal. When she gets into the necessary scientific explanations for things, she tries to make it fun: Mickey Mouse’s head as conceptual

Some of the science was too much for me to want to spend time on, frankly, although I paid very careful attention to what causes clouds to turn pink at sunset. “A Sideways Look at Clouds” makes looking up fun!
