BRAISED POT<br />
ROAST<br />
Rising A Custom Beef, located in beautiful<br />
Richland, Oregon, knows the importance of<br />
natural foods and how they play a powerful role<br />
in our overall health.<br />
Rising A Custom Beef is a small family farm<br />
lovingly run by husband and wife duo Joseph<br />
and Brianna Akers. Joseph and Brianna are so<br />
passionate about the quality of beef they raise<br />
because of their personal experiences with why<br />
all natural, grass fed, nutrient dense beef is so<br />
important to their overall health.<br />
In 2013, Joseph and Brianna got married and<br />
were eager to start a family and begin planning<br />
their life together. Six months after their wedding,<br />
they found out they were expecting a baby and<br />
were so excited to start a family, but what they<br />
didn’t know in that moment is that Brianna would<br />
later suffer three tragic miscarriages back to back.<br />
Soon after their miscarriages, Brianna’s physical<br />
health began to suffer and repeatedly landed<br />
her in the ER looking for answers. Brianna was<br />
growing more frail by the day, with constant pain<br />
and no answers in sight.<br />
In 2016, although incredibly ill, Brianna<br />
was able to carry a baby to full term, and she<br />
and Joseph welcomed their first miracle baby,<br />
a daughter named Amelia. Shortly thereafter,<br />
OC WAVES • VOL 4.3<br />
Brianna also received the long-awaited answer as<br />
to why her health was in such a rapid decline with<br />
the devastating diagnosis of Crohn’s Disease,<br />
which continued to lead to countless visits to the<br />
ER for any ounce of relief.<br />
A surprise pregnancy in 2018 gave them their<br />
second miracle, a baby boy named Ezekiel born<br />
three weeks early via c section, but sadly Brianna’s<br />
health only continued to decline. In 2019<br />
Brianna’s health took a turn for the worse and<br />
left her bedridden and in critical condition with<br />
the only option left being a life saving surgery<br />
to remove her entire colon. This was a surgery<br />
Brianna had desperately tried to avoid, but it was<br />
one that ultimately saved her life. And although<br />
her recovery wasn’t easy, it was one that gave her<br />
another chance at life — another chance to be a<br />
wife to her husband Joseph and a mother to their<br />
two beautiful children Amelia and Ezekiel.<br />
Through Brianna’s intense recovery, she quickly<br />
learned that there were foods she needed to avoid,<br />
and beef was one of them. Commercially bought<br />
beef would cause Brianna’s Crohn’s symptoms<br />
to flare up, but thankfully, Joseph is a hunter, so<br />
Brianna still had access to clean protein through<br />
elk and venison that her body had no issues<br />
processing — which caused her to wonder why.<br />
Why was she able to eat elk and venison but<br />
not beef? And the answer was in the animals<br />
themselves. Elk and deer live on a completely<br />
natural food supply in the wild, free from<br />
hormones, antibiotics and pesticides, so their<br />
meat is also free from those toxins. This caused<br />
Brianna and Joseph to begin raising beef<br />
with zero hormones, zero antibiotics and only<br />
grazing on pesticide-free grass. The result was a<br />
completely clean beef that Brianna could enjoy<br />
with absolutely no complications. Fortunately,<br />
Brianna’s health is thriving today thanks to a<br />
life-saving surgery and a diet free from harmful<br />
chemicals. And because of this new lease on life,<br />
Brianna and Joseph were able to welcome their<br />
third miracle into the world — a healthy baby boy<br />
named Silas.<br />
This process of all natural, grass fed, nutrient<br />
dense beef that the Akers family enjoys is now<br />
available for their customers as well, and they ship<br />
anywhere within the U.S. So no matter where we<br />
live, we all have access to clean, all natural beef<br />
that we can feel confident eating and feeding to<br />
our families.<br />
Small, family-owned ranches like Rising A<br />
Custom Beef are quickly disappearing because<br />
of the big beef monopoly, so it’s more important<br />
than its ever been that we help keep these family<br />
farms in business. Without them, we’re all at risk<br />
of losing access to all natural beef free from harsh<br />
chemicals.<br />

their beef bundle packs that are shipped anywhere<br />
in the U.S. and to learn more about this incredible<br />
family.<br />
Hazelnut Brown Nectar Ale Brazed Pot Roast<br />
Ingredients:<br />
• 3 pounds beef roast<br />
• 2 Johnny’s Seasoning salt<br />
• 2 tsp. black pepper<br />
• 2 Tbs. olive oil<br />
• 2 Tbs. salted butter<br />
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced<br />
• 1 head of garlic top sliced off<br />
• 3 fresh thyme sprigs<br />
• 3 rosemary springs<br />
• 3 oregano sprigs<br />
• 1 sage sprig<br />
• 12 ounces Rogue Hazelnut Brown Nectar ale<br />
• 32 ounces beef stock<br />
Directions:<br />
Preheat oven to 300 degrees.<br />
Place a large Dutch oven over medium high<br />
heat. While it’s heating, season all sides of the<br />
roast with Johnny’s Seasoning salt and black<br />
pepper. Add the olive oil and butter to the hot<br />
pot. Sear the meat on all sides until a good crust<br />
forms, about 2 – 3 minutes per side.<br />
When roast is seared, add onion, garlic, and<br />
fresh herbs (tied into a bundle, if desired). Pour in<br />
Hazelnut Brown Nectar and beef stock.<br />
Place in center rack of oven and cook, covered,<br />
for 3–3.5 hours, until liquid is reduced by half and<br />
the roast is fork tender.<br />
19
Remove roast from the pot and allow to rest<br />
while you make the pan sauce.<br />
Remove the herb bundle and discard. Gently<br />
skim the fat off the liquid in the pan and discard.<br />
Squeeze the cloves out of the garlic head and<br />
discard the skin. Place the Dutch oven over<br />
medium high heat and bring the liquid to a<br />
rolling boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring<br />
occasionally, until liquid is reduced by half. Spoon<br />
over roast to serve.<br />
OREGON PINK<br />
SHRIMP &<br />
DUNGENESS<br />
CRAB SALAD<br />
It’s no secret that we desperately need a seafood<br />
market in Waldport, but Mike Gatens, owner of<br />
Shrimp Daddy’s in Waldport, has the next best<br />
thing — live Dungeness crab and locally caught<br />
Oregon pink shrimp.<br />
This past week I had the incredibly fun<br />
opportunity to hang out with my friends over at<br />
Shrimp Daddy’s to check out their selection of<br />
live Dungeness crab, tour their impressive tanks,<br />
and watch Mike’s daughter, Chelsea, in action as<br />
she cooks them.<br />
If you’ve ever stopped by Shrimp Daddy’s,<br />
located at 385 NE Spencer St., the first thing<br />
you undoubtedly noticed is the steam coming<br />
from their giant crab cooker just out front of their<br />
bait and tackle shop, enticing their customers and<br />
passersby seven days a week with the smell of<br />
freshly cooked Dungeness crab.<br />
Mike has lived here all of his life and grew<br />
up fishing these waters with his dad, so he<br />
understands the importance of creating a space<br />
where people who love to fish can gather and<br />
tell fishing stories around the crab cooker, get to<br />
know their neighbors and maybe even make some<br />
new friends or fishing buddies while visiting<br />
the shop. It’s equally as important to Mike that<br />
Shrimp Daddy’s offers a wide variety of some of<br />
the very best gear, including a large selection of<br />
his inventory made right here locally — an entire<br />
section is dedicated to veteran handmade lures. A<br />
small local business doing what they can to support<br />
other small local businesses, and Mike’s drive to<br />
support local doesn’t stop with tackle either. He<br />
goes over and above by paying the crabbers who<br />
keep his live tanks filled higher wages while still<br />
offering his customers a low market price in an<br />
effort to give back to his community, the place he<br />
and his family have called home for going on six<br />
generations now.<br />
So whether you’re in search of tackle, fresh<br />
bait (Shrimp Daddy’s is the only company in the<br />
area that captures live bait shrimp daily), Oregon<br />
Pink Shrimp caught aboard the Kylie Linn, or<br />
live Dungeness crab, stop by Shrimp Daddy’s<br />
in Waldport — and don’t forget to bring the<br />
20<br />
kids with you for a treat because they also have<br />
Hawaiian shaved ice!<br />

BANANA<br />
MUFFINS<br />
WITH<br />
PUMPKIN<br />
SPICE CRUMB<br />
TOPPING<br />
I was recently interviewed for an agricultural<br />
magazine on homesteading burnout. And<br />
although I’m not a homesteader by any means,<br />
I do try to feed my family the healthiest natural<br />
foods we have available here to us on the Oregon<br />
coast. But the interviewers question about<br />
burnout really resonated with me.<br />
Truthfully, it’s not something I’ve ever really<br />
stopped to think about because in order to put<br />
some of the best foods on the planet on your<br />
dinner table for very little to no cost, it will cost<br />
you in time and energy, and that’s just simply all<br />
part of it.<br />
This can oftentimes feel like I’m doing my<br />
children a disservice by spending so much of<br />
my time not fully engaged — whether it’s due<br />
to long days fishing in the ocean or long days<br />
processing those foods in the kitchen. It can be<br />
an exhausting struggle of mom guilt, wanting to<br />
feed them the best foods possible but at the cost<br />
of quality time that could be spent with them —<br />
ultimately leading to a feeling of burnout.<br />
Thankfully, most of the time I’m able to have<br />
my little ones right by my side helping me harvest<br />
goodies and teaching them invaluable life skills<br />
along the way. Whether they’re helping me tend<br />
to our chickens and gather eggs for breakfast,<br />
raking for cockle clams along the Alsea Bay and<br />
contributing to our family’s take home limits,<br />
wandering through the Siuslaw National Forest<br />
keeping their eyes peeled for fall mushrooms or<br />
helping me pick the last of the summer berries<br />
from around our yard to freeze for the winter,<br />
they’re almost always by my side participating<br />
in the harvesting of wild foods and having some<br />
sort of adventure along the way. But I do think as<br />
parents there’s that constant struggle of wanting<br />
to provide for our children but at the cost of<br />
constantly worrying if we’re doing what’s best for<br />
them.<br />
So this week as my children were tucked in<br />
their beds sound asleep, I quietly made these<br />
Banana Muffins with Pumpkin Spice Crumb<br />
Topping from ingredients I already had in my<br />
own kitchen. I didn’t have to call in grandmas<br />
to babysit, I didn’t have to get the kids up for an<br />
early morning tide, just homemade food from<br />
grocery store ingredients and sometimes that’s<br />
exactly what is needed to recharge and reduce<br />
those feelings of burnout that are often times<br />
associated with this lifestyle of harvesting our<br />
own foods.<br />
Banana Muffins w/ Pumpkin Spiced Crumb<br />
Topping<br />
For muffins:<br />
• 1 cup sugar<br />
• 1/2 cup butter, softened<br />

Good Bowl tops rice bowls with beans and locallysourced<br />
vegetables, and Lily Rose Coffee & Crêpes<br />
tops its wafer-thin pancakes with fruit, chocolate,<br />
cheese and more.<br />
Nehalem has its fair share of food carts too,<br />
including the peaceful two-cart pod right on the<br />
Nehalem river. Paddle your kayak up to the bank<br />
to fuel up at Pacific Roots for coffee and minidonuts<br />
or a fried cod basket at Riverside Fish &<br />
Chips.<br />
In Garibaldi, Under the Big G pod keeps the<br />
fishermen and whale watchers of this port town<br />
satiated with a handful of carts. Munch on an<br />
onigiri seaweed sandwich stuffed with spam from<br />
Japanese fusion cart Chibi Teriyaki or Germanstyle<br />
barbecue sausages from The Brat Brothers.<br />
The Flavors on 1st pod in Tillamook welcomes<br />
visitors to a patio of global delights. Stop for lunch<br />
on the way to the beach or even grab something<br />
to go for a picnic. Nani Papa’a’s egg-and-spam<br />
musubis are the ideal takeaway treat, while We Be<br />
Tacos fills its tacos with Tex Mex-inspired seasoned<br />
ground beef and pulled pork.<br />
In Rockaway Beach, you can’t go wrong with<br />
lamb vindaloo from New Taste of India or saucy<br />
pineapple red curry and a wide range of desserts<br />
from Sassy Express Thai fusion cart. Both offer<br />
patio seating outdoors.<br />
GLOBAL FOOD CARTS ON THE<br />
CENTRAL COAST<br />
Further down Highway 101 in Lincoln City,<br />
The Pines Dine is a lovely contemporary covered<br />
food hall with ample indoor-and-outdoor seating<br />
and free parking, surrounded by 12 carts that<br />
serve everything from Himalayan Momos to gyros,<br />
souvlaki and boba tea. Don’t miss the fried rice<br />
with crab meat at Pattaya or the locally sourced<br />
albacore poke bowls at Sha Sha’s Poke. For Puerto<br />
Rican soul food, stop by La Wawa to fill up on<br />
plates of mojo pork belly, citrusy slaw and plantain<br />
chips.<br />
In nearby Gleneden Beach, Squatchsami serves<br />
upscale comfort food out of its outpost at the<br />
Salishan Marketplace; you will love the Oregoncaught<br />
lingcod fish and chips and rosemaryseasoned<br />
fries. Chicken and waffles are another<br />
popular choice.<br />
Further south, Tastee Tiki in Newport brings<br />
the flavors of Hawaii to the Pacific Northwest,<br />
crafting rice bowls and sandwiches with kalua<br />
pork and teriyaki tofu, plus a side of mac salad.<br />
SPECIALTY CARTS ON THE<br />
SOUTHERN COAST<br />
In Coos Bay, the Front Street Food Trucks pod<br />
is the perfect spot to people-watch. Sample the<br />
ramen birria — stewed beef in a rich broth — from<br />
101 Taco or tuck into fries topped with pulled<br />
pork from Elkhorn BBQ, whose savory, charred<br />
aromas from its indoor smoker waft over the<br />
neighborhood.<br />
Though not organized into a single pod, you’ll<br />
also find plenty of carts for a quick bite in Gold<br />
Beach and Brookings. Hunger Paynes serves<br />
stacked biscuit and waffle sandwiches for brunch in<br />
Gold Beach, plus lunch-time burgers and seafood<br />
options. Just across the street, Khob Khun delivers<br />
Bangkok-style street foods like noodle stir fries and<br />
creamy coconut curries. Woggy’s is a local favorite<br />
for its locally caught rockfish and chips and Bajastyle<br />
blackened fish tacos.<br />
In Brookings, sitting pretty outside of Chetco<br />
Brewing Company, vegan food cart Off The<br />
Wagon supplies hungry patrons with homestyle<br />
American classics. Order the vegan nachos with<br />
silky cashew queso or the enchilada casserole<br />
with marinated mushrooms, roasted potatoes and<br />
housemade enchilada sauce.<br />

SOUTH BEACH PARK<br />
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 27<br />
There is so much to do at South Beach State<br />
Park, a vast, spectacular park just south of the<br />
Yaquina Bay Bridge, that you just might spend<br />
your entire vacation there. The park, Newport’s<br />
version of an all-inclusive resort, offers visitors<br />
a gorgeous beach, hiking and biking trails,<br />
equestrian access, a full-service campground, and<br />
more. Bring your kids, your bike, your horse, your<br />
tent, your surfboard … whatever makes for a great<br />
outdoor vacation. Here’s the lowdown on the fun<br />
things to do at this amazing park.<br />
The Beach: The wide, sandy beach at South<br />
Beach State Park is easily accessed from the day<br />
use area, the campground, and the trails described<br />
below. Whatever your favorite beach activity,<br />
you can do it here: surfing, walking, sandcastlebuilding,<br />
volleyball, beachcombing, yoga (yes,<br />
beach yoga is a thing!), beach bonfires, whatever<br />
strikes your fancy. The view to the jetty (that long<br />
line of rocks) at the entrance to Yaquina Bay to<br />
the north is gorgeous. The day use beach access<br />
includes bathrooms, picnic tables, and a rinsing<br />
station (great for giving exhausted dogs a quick<br />
drink).<br />
The Campground: South Beach’s large (225 sites<br />
with electrical hookups, 60 tent sites) campground<br />
accommodates every camping style, from tents to<br />
RVs to yurts, but it’s popular so reserve online<br />
as early as you can. (Wondering what a “yurt” is?<br />
Think large, permanent tent with bunks – as near<br />
to “glamping” as you’ll get in Newport!) Two of<br />
the yurts are dog-friendly, and a number of sites<br />
are accessible to campers with disabilities. The<br />
campground offers flush toilets, hot showers,<br />
firewood for sale, ranger programs, a playground<br />
and horseshoe pit, and more.<br />
The Trails: Whether you want to bike, walk,<br />
hike, or roller skate, there are trails for you at<br />
South Beach State Park. A paved, one-mile trail<br />
runs behind the dunes and parallel to the beach<br />
between the day use parking area and the South<br />
Jetty Day Use Area – you can access it at either<br />
end. This is a great place to ride bikes with<br />
beginner bikers, push strollers, or take a leisurely<br />
walk. Once you hit the end at the jetty area, if you<br />
take a right along the water and then a left on the<br />
bike trail before you get to the main road, you can<br />
continue your ride or walk under the bridge, past<br />
the Rogue brewery, and all the way to the Hatfield<br />
Marine Science Center.<br />
Rather be in the woods than on pavement? No<br />
problem – there are two intertwining options for<br />
you. One is the Cooper Ridge Trail, a 1.75-mile<br />
nature trail that runs around the perimeter of<br />
the campground. The other is the Old Jetty Trail,<br />
which parallels and occasionally crosses the paved<br />
trail described above. It can be accessed either at<br />
the day use area near the paved trail entrance or at<br />
the South Jetty Day Use Area.<br />
Other Awesome Features: South Beach State<br />
Park is one of the only local beach access points that<br />
allows and provides accommodations for riding<br />
horses on the beach. The equestrian area, which<br />
includes parking space for trailers, bathrooms, and<br />
hitching posts, is at the South Jetty Day Use Area<br />
(see location information below). There’s nothing<br />
like a sunset beach ride, but many riders prefer<br />
mornings before the wind picks up.<br />
In the summer months, park rangers lead a<br />
variety of excellent programs. One of the coolest<br />
is the guided kayak tours they offer in the summer<br />
months at Beaver Creek south of the park.<br />
Paddles, kayaks, and PFDs are provided, and the<br />
park’s guides take guests on a peaceful 2.5-hour<br />
paddle in this pristine freshwater marsh. For more<br />
information or to make a reservation, call: (541)<br />
563-6413.<br />
With the Oregon Coast Aquarium, Hatfield<br />
Marine Science Center, The Edge Art Gallery,<br />
Rogue Brewery, and more right nearby in the<br />
South Beach neighborhood, you’ll have more than<br />
enough to do south of the bridge. South Beach,<br />
Miami, eat your heart out!<br />

SWAFFORD<br />
ON WINE<br />
There once was a cliché in the<br />
kitchen that went sort of like this:<br />
“Red wine with red meat; white<br />
wine with fish…” It seemed to make<br />
sense — like with like — but the<br />
exceptions kept getting in the way.<br />
Sure, nice dry Oregon Chardonnays<br />
and Sauvignon blancs matched<br />
well with the white meat from cod<br />
to catfish, but then Christina and I<br />
arrived at the Oregon coast in 1981<br />
and found ourselves in the great<br />
salmon-colored world of ... salmon.<br />
Early on in our Northwest wine<br />
education, we were introduced to<br />
the white wine, Pinot gris, described<br />
as the perfect salmon wine because<br />
its acidity and citrusy fruit flavors<br />
stood up crisply to the strong flavors<br />
of salmon. (The late David Lett of<br />
Eyrie Vineyards put Oregon Pinot<br />
gris on the map when he brought<br />
the first cuttings here from Alsace-<br />
Lorraine. I planted sticks I got<br />
from his son Jason at his father’s<br />
memorial, and I now have healthy<br />
Gris vines growing outside my front<br />
door.)<br />
We also shift easily to serving a<br />
red wine with Christina’s salmon,<br />
which she often serves with a<br />
Swedish Lingonberry sauce drizzled<br />
over the filets. A New York chef<br />
published, some years ago, a book<br />
called something like “Red Wine<br />
with Fish.” When he gets around<br />
to revising it, I’m sure he will tug at<br />
Christina’s sleeve asking to include<br />
her Lingonberry recipe.<br />
Perhaps it would be appropriate<br />
to change the name of this column<br />
to Swafford Off Wine, at least<br />
until next month. The reason: my<br />
wife and collaborator in the highly<br />
technical wine research that I<br />
report on here has just undergone<br />
hip-replacement surgery, and her<br />
doctor states that mixing alcohol<br />
with her recovery medication will<br />
reduce the effectiveness of the meds.<br />
So if Christina can’t have a glass<br />
of Oregon Pinot noir with dinner<br />
for the next five or six weeks, then<br />
I, too, will join her in fasting from<br />
wine for this period.<br />
When we resume, it will be<br />
interesting to note our reactions<br />
after abstaining. Lettie Teague, who<br />
writes a wine column for the Wall<br />
Street Journal, recently noted that<br />
government guidelines have become<br />
more restrictive of late. They advise<br />
that women limit themselves to<br />
one (5-ounce) glass of wine per day<br />
rather than two. Teague decided to<br />
experiment for a week, cutting her<br />
intake from two or three glasses<br />
nightly to one. She told her doctor of<br />
her plan to resume her consumption<br />
levels after the week. He wasn’t<br />
overly concerned, and he was not<br />
surprised when she reported to him<br />
that at the end of the week she had<br />
burned more calories, lost several<br />
pounds and slept better. We’ll meet<br />
back here in November and let you<br />
know what our numbers reveal.<br />
One final piece of wine news I<br />
want to share has the potential to<br />
make an impact on the ecology and<br />
global warming. Whether this takes<br />
off or not, I hope it will at least make<br />
us think: a glass wine bottle, when<br />
made in a factory, releases chemical<br />
pollutants into the atmosphere.<br />
When it is filled with wine and<br />
shipped to retailers and consumers,<br />
more pollutants are emitted by the<br />
transport haulers. Here is a new<br />
wrinkle. An English manufacturer<br />
has developed a machine that makes<br />
a bottle that does not use molded<br />
glass and is one-fifth the weight of<br />
older glass bottles, resulting in less<br />
pollutants from less weight. What<br />
am I talking about? A wine bottle<br />
made out of recycled cardboard.<br />
Yes, a paper bottle! This container<br />
will ship flat and then a machine<br />
will form it into the classic wine<br />
bottle shape to be filled and with<br />
label art in place. The lining will<br />
be a food-grade plasticized material.<br />
This is not for a wine to be aged—<br />
glass will still be used. A red wine<br />
in cardboard will last 18 months;<br />
a white for a year. Consider that<br />
about 70 percent of wine made is<br />
consumed in a matter of months<br />
after bottling.<br />
So there it is, the Swaffords<br />
temporarily off wine; into cardboard;<br />
and chomping at the bit for salmon,<br />
Pinot noir and lingonberries.<br />
Cheers!<br />

The Conde B. McCullough Memorial Bridge,<br />
is a cantilever bridge that spans the Coos Bay on<br />
U.S. Route 101 near North Bend, Oregon. When<br />
completed in 1936 it was named the North Bend<br />
Bridge. In 1947 it was renamed in honor of Conde<br />
B. McCullough who died May 5, 1946. This and<br />
10 other major bridges on the Oregon Coast<br />
Highway were designed under his supervision.<br />
The Conde B. McCullough Memorial Bridge<br />
replaced ferries that had formerly crossed the bay.<br />

The bridge is outstanding for its attention to form<br />
and detail, and has been placed on the National<br />
Register of Historic Places in recognition of its<br />
design and cultural and economic importance.<br />
When the bridge was completed in 1936 it<br />
was the longest bridge in Oregon. It was also the<br />
costliest of the Oregon Coast bridges at $2.14<br />
million (equivalent to approximately $46.5 million<br />
in 2023)<br />
