HAZELNUT<br />

BROWN<br />

NECTAR ALE<br />

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 />

• 1 1/2 cups flour<br />

until smooth.<br />

3. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, whisk<br />

together flour, baking soda, baking powder salt<br />

and cinnamon.<br />

4. With the mixer on low, add the eggs one at a<br />

time, beating after each addition. Add the vanilla,<br />

milk.<br />

5. Add the flour mixture and pecans and<br />

mix until just combined. Scoop batter into well<br />

greased muffin tins then top generously with<br />

crumb topping.<br />

12 muffins<br />

with toppings or even extra patties.<br />

Just blocks away, The Lot Astoria sports a<br />

colorful setting decorated with murals. Choose<br />

from an ever-changing menu with items like<br />

chorizo/soyrizo fried rice with egg or pork loin<br />

with cheesy grits from That Food Cart. The<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 />

MEMORIAL BRIDGE<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 />
