OUTDOORS & REC B2 — THE OBSERVER & BAKER CITY HERALD DAUBLE 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 SATURDAY, DECEMBER 4, 2021 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. ——— Dennis Dauble has written fi ve books about fi sh and fi shing, including his latest, “Chasing Ghost Trout.” Learn more at Dennis DaubleBooks.com.

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.
