SCRATCHPAD Celebrating an abundance of fall food By LUCY KLEINER COAST WEEKEND EDITOR ast week, I sat down with David Campiche, a longtime Coast Week end contributor and his wife, Laurie Anderson, whose cranberry pot roast, origi nal pumpkin pie recipes and apple pie were recently featured in this publication’s din ing section. Campiche and Anderson welcomed me into their home, where we shared a four course meal prepared by the couple. Since moving to the North Coast, I have relished the opportunity to dine in and out with new connections in the area. I’m no picky eater, our coast and I can’t recall a meal I’ve been served here I haven’t enjoyed. That being said, dinner at their home in Seaview was above and beyond — eas ily one of the best meals I’ve ever had. We started off with razor clam cakes, home made cream sauce and a slice of quiche. The appetizer was followed by a savory spaghetti squash salad topped with egg plant and sliced cherry tomatoes grown in their garden. Our main plate was filled with garlic spinach pasta and tender glazed salmon. We finished our feast with Ander son’s baked apple pie and tea served from the couple’s quaint china collection. There is no doubt in my mind that the meal was especially flavorful because of all the local ingredients the couple utilized. weekend ON THE COVER Jim Unwin builds a potlatch box with hand-carved Native emblems American on each STAFF AND CONTRIBUTORS COAST WEEKEND EDITOR When I asked Campiche what ingredients were grown or caught here, he replied “dam near everything, except the pasta.” Nearly all the vegetables came from their garden or were grown by family near by, includ ing the garlic and spinach used in the pasta sauce. The couple dug the razor clams themselves, and the organic eggs were pur chased from a nearby friend. The feast was a reminder of how plenti ful our gardens, rivers and oceans are over here. For those who don’t have the space to garden themselves, there are numerous farms in the area that provide local, organic and flavorful produce for us to purchase from places like farmers markets and the Astoria Co-op. The conversation was as exquisite as the food. Campiche and Anderson caught me up on local history and showed me paint ings, pottery, weavings and poems from local artists. Both are artists themselves, and I again was humbled by creativity fos tered in this community I now call home. 5° WARRENTON » ' * .A .
