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.

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.
