Style Magazine - August 2021
The past 10 days I’ve been on a strict seafood diet. My family is traveling down the Oregon Coast, which means we’re determined to devour as much clam chowder and fish & chips as we can. Is it just me, or do road trips beckon you to eat more (a lot more) and worry less? Besides the lighthouses, stunning scenery, and cool coastal air, the seafood around these parts is reason enough to return. Luckily, going on an Oregon vacay isn’t necessary to snag an award-winning bowl of chowdah or fresh-caught crab with all the fixin’s. Our region has plenty of mouthwatering fish dishes—inspired from all cuisines and corners of the globe—that are sure to have you hooked. Turn to “Seafood Spectacular” on page 57 for over 31 of our favorites, including a stunning seafood platter for two, sticky-sweet honey walnut prawns, and an indulgent lobster risotto that’ll leave you oohing, aahing, and wondering why you didn’t discover it sooner. Something else I wish I discovered sooner? Backpacking. My husband and I went on our first foray earlier this summer, and—even though our meals were less than luxurious—the experience of wandering where the Wi-Fi was weak (actually, nonexistent), camping without another soul in sight, and witnessing the wonders of the night sky has me eager to explore more. If you, too, are interested in going off grid but clueless where to start, check out “Walk in the Woods” (page 42) for 13 backpacking must-haves and some beginner-friendly areas to explore, then turn to page 98 for 5 astronomical events happening this month like the “stellar” Perseids meteor shower from August 11-13. What else is tucked into these glossy print pages? A roundup of must-reads from accomplished area authors (“Book Club” on page 24); a guide to helping your kiddos return to the classroom (“Back-to-School Rules” on page 36); and 5 essential experiences in Edinburgh, Scotland (page 78), where I hear the seafood—particularly the cullen skink (smoked haddock soup)—is seriously scrumptious. Cheers! —Megan megan@stylemg.com @meggoeggowaffle
