Continued from Page B1
Taste buds change over
time, however, which gets to
the topic of a creamy holiday
soup made from golden chan-
terelle mushrooms. Chan-
terelles are not found in the
Blue Mountains, but are
common in the Cascade and
Coast ranges of Oregon and
Washington. Over the past
fall season, family members
from the west side gathered
enough of these tasty treats to
share.
Preparing mushroom
soup requires some atten-
tion to detail. One recipe
calls for a quart and a half
of chicken broth, two table-
spoons of melted butter, three
cloves of minced garlic, and
a cup of sliced shallots for
every pound of cleaned and
trimmed chanterelles. Add
fl our to thicken, a splash of
white wine if it makes your
heart sing, and let the mix-
ture simmer for 30 minutes.
Transfer to a blender and run
the gears slowly to smooth
the mixture. Pour the soup
back into a heated saucepan
for serving. Brown leftover
mushroom trimmings in a fry
pan and sprinkle them atop
warm bowls of soup for a
more robust fl avor. The result
is a savory beginning to any
holiday feast.
Every fall I drift red hackle
fl ies for mountain whitefi sh
when they school up near
fall chinook salmon redds to
gobble up loose eggs. White-
fi sh put a nice bend in your
rod when hooked on light
tackle and smoke up “mighty
fi ne.” By late November,
females or “hens” burst with
large roe sacs that need not go
to waste.
To make golden caviar,
carefully remove the bright
orangish roe from the fi sh
body cavity and cut into
2-inch or so chunks. Indi-
vidual eggs are small, on the
order of 1/8-inch in diam-
eter. Place in a mixture of
one-half cup Kosher salt to
one quart of ice-cold water,
taste test after fi ve minutes
for saltiness, and place brined
eggs in a fi ne-mesh strainer
to remove excess salt and any
attached membrane. Rinse
eggs well with cold water,
place in a small glass jar, and
seal. Voila, you now have
caviar that can be stored in
the refrigerator for one to two
weeks with little loss of fl avor.
The eggs are glossy, jew-
el-like orange, almost too

pretty to eat. Serve with a
selection of gourmet crackers
and crème fraiche. I like
to think of this appetizer
as a blessing from Mother
Whitefi sh.
While it’s possible these
culinary treats won’t displace
sweet potato-and-marsh-
mallow delight on what
we kids used to call “the
grown-up table,” odds are
good their presence on the
hors d’oeuvre tray will cajole
taste buds. What’s more likely
is holiday conversation will
be diverted from the sad state
of the world to an entertaining
fi shing or hunting story.

YOUR BIRTHDAY by Stella Wilder
Born today, you are one of those
unsuspected individuals who, at just the right
moment, again and again, emerges from the
shadows and takes your place in the sun --
grabbing all the accolades and rewards that
are available to you at any given time. You
don’t have to be front and center at all times;
in fact, you often do your best work in the
background, waiting for just the right moment
to take the world by storm -- and this is
something you are likely to do more than once
in your lifetime.
SUNDAY, DECEMBER 5
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You’ll
be impressed with how others rise to the
occasion today and turn in top-notch
performances. You can do the same; stretch
yourself!
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You
may find yourself in a position of authority
over those you consider to be your equals.
This can work out well for all concerned.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Now is no
time to play favorites; you must be wholly
objective in your assessment of what goes on
both in the home and at the workplace.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may be
asked for a special favor today by someone
who has been looking to you for guidance
recently. It’s time to engage directly.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You can put
a harsh lesson recently learned to very good
use today -- provided you keep your emotions
out of the equation. Do you want to excel?
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You have
the tools you need to do what has to be done,
but you may not yet know how to wield them
as efficiently as may be necessary at this time.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Even though
you are nominally in charge today, you’ll have
occasion to learn a thing or two -- and you’ll
be grateful for the lesson, too!
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Everyone
with whom you come in contact today is
going to have a unique set of problems to
address, and you can prove quite helpful to all.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- It’s not enough for
you today to learn only one way of doing
something; you must be willing to put in some
overtime to learn two or three!
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Someone
may be challenging you at this time without
even knowing it, but you may only make
things more difficult by speaking about it
today.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- It’s best to
keep certain things under wraps today, at least
until you’ve hit your stride and render yourself
immune to criticism.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- After what
may have been weeks of planning, you should
be able to get things in motion once and for
all. A partner proves indispensable.
