the fresh baguette as a nice complement.
What you’ll do:
1. Slice baguette into ¾” diagonal pieces.
2. Spread garlic or butter on both sides of baguette
3. Grill until toasted on both sides.
4. Sauté chopped garlic with butter, add basil and wine.
5. Mix sauce and bring to a boil, add clams and bring back
to a boil, and leave at medium/high heat and cover for 4 to
5 minutes. Wait for the shells to open.
6. Remove lid and reduce heat to a low simmer, and let
simmer for 4 to 5 minutes.
7. Pour into a large serving bowl.
8. Sprinkle with green chopped onions. Serve with bread.
(Note: Taste sauce before removing from heat. If a slight
pungent taste is detected, continue simmering for a few
more minutes to continue cooking off the wine. Do not
add more wine while simmering, you will be very unhappy
with the results.)

9-1-WHAT?
THE BEST OF THE WORST CALLS TO ASTORIA 911 DISPATCH
Confrontation
T
his week’s emergency calls seem to be all about confrontation, real and
imagined.
There was the threatening person with the machete, the drunken air
punching in the Safeway parking lot, and the screaming man with the pros-
thetic leg.
The strangest incident? The ex-wife who came into her former husband’s
home and slapped him while he was sleeping.
Change the locks, brah.
Follow reporter Kyle Spurr on his 9-1-What? Twitter watch, where a few
of the sometimes head-scratching calls to area dispatch take center stage. The
