Walking Sussex, Cancer Support Community, Survivors Across Sussex, 16 Miles or BUST, Team, 16 Mile Brewery was the Final Destination!! Cancer Survivors Rock After Party, Georgetown, Delaware

dscn5623

It has been a week since our 16 Miles or BUST team participated in a 16 Mile Walk to raise money for the Cancer Support Community Delaware.  We are all still talking about it because it was so much fun.  Everyone survived the heat….I think there were more like 17 1/2 miles, going through the Circle in Georgetown.

dscn5663

dscn5662

Our team was comprised of 10 amazing women…and one guy, who is pretty awesome himself.  These women and Jamin (our guy) have a thirst for life.  They have had their ups and downs like everyone else.  They have faced those curve balls that life throws to you when you least expect it, and they have handled them with courage.  3 of them were breast cancer survivors.  They are fit, they laugh, and they can also let their hair down.  They are professionals, mothers, grandmothers, well traveled and well read, as well.  The following photo makes me laugh…with Jamin.  He wore the pink hat that said “Women Who Behave Rarely Make History”!!

Before starting our walk, Jamin brought us all together in an uplifting prayer giving thanks, and praying for peace, hope and health for those afflicted with cancer.

dscn5659

Police escort…our route was a little dangerous, more so, at this time of the year.  Every mile we had water, and every 2 miles we had fruit and granola bars.

We walked in groups of two or three, and then, we would change and formed other groups, which made it easier.

Everyone has been touched by cancer in one way or another and being that June is Cancer Survivors Month, cars passing by kept honking their horns all through our journey.  All services provided by Cancer Support Community Delaware are free of charge.  For more information, please call them at 302-645-9150.  Or, visit their website…http://www.cancersupportdelaware.org.

It was so darn hot…but at least there was a breeze, and the Sussex County Corvette Club was transporting anyone that had had enough.

dscn5672

At the Lewes-Rehoboth Moose Lodge, the Sussex Tech Band received us.  I believe that was mile 7.

dscn5665

dscn5669

Chowdown For Charity, Next Gen South, Delaware Community Foundation, Fundraising Event, Southern Delaware, Kent & Sussex Counties, Food Tasting, Voting, Wall of Wine, Silent Auction, Fun=Fundraising, Same Time Next Year!!

dscn3496

Here we were, the usual suspects….we do have a younger suspect, Jade!!  We were ready to Chowdown for Charity, an event that took place on Friday, February 6th, at Baywood Greens Golf Course in Long Neck, Delaware.  It was an evening of food tasting, voting and mingling.  Much loved local chefs were cooking for a cause….Next Gen South of the Delaware Community Foundation, http://www.delcf.org. This is a non-profit board of young professionals from Kent & Sussex Counties that was founded in 2012.

Next Gen South selects an area of focus every 2 years based on what is needed in our communities.  Presently, the focus is and has been for the past 2 years, Children’s Mental Health.  This is one fundraising event that lets this organization award grants to local organizations on an annual basis.  Next Gen South might be young but in 2014 they awarded $15,000 to:  Delaware Guidance Services, Delaware State University, The Seaford House.

dscn3497

Chefs were ready for the guests….remember we were given 3 tickets to put on our favorites.  A friendly competition would be taking place.

dscn3471dscn3474

ABBOTT’S ON BROAD CREEK – This restaurant is located in Laurel; http://www.abbottsgrillde.com.  It is a sister restaurant to Abbot’s Grill in Milford.  Chef Ryan Cunningham was serving Smoked Strip Loin with a Scallop Vinaigrette & Coriander Popcorn.

dscn3472

Loved the addition of the popcorn to the tender beef.  Ryan asked us to come to Laurel for a real treat this year.

dscn3476

a(MUSE.) – Located in Dowtown Rehoboth Beach, http://www.amuse-rehoboth.com.  Hari was hard at work, but always explaining exactly what he is cooking.  Pumpernickel Pasta?  OMG!! This pasta tasted just like pumpernickel bread.  You had to be there to experience it, but Hari said he has it at the restaurant, among other amazing tasting pasta flavors.  It was served with Brussel Sprouts, Pastrami Beef Cheek, Charred Onion & Pickled Mustard Seed.

dscn3475

The pasta was cooked to perfection and the other flavors complemented already a winning central ingredient.

dscn3479

LUPO DI MARE – Located in Downtown Rehoboth Beach, http://www.lupodimarerehoboth.com.  This restaurant is part of the family of SODEL Concepts restaurants and started by the late and much missed Matt Haley.

dscn3478

They were serving Rustic Meatballs, Parmesan Polenta with Tomato Gravy.  I can’t make a good meatball, so always enjoy little morsels like these ones.  They did tell us that this was not their signature meatball…prepared exclusively for this event.

dscn3477

PAPA GRANDE’S – Two locations:  Downtown Rehoboth Beach and Fenwick Island.  A Delaware coastal taqueria.  http://www.papagrandes.com/rehoboth.  Papa Grande’s is also part of the SODEL family of restaurants.

dscn3483

I love Scrapple!!  And, this is what they were serving…House Scrapple Tostada, Hibiscus Jelly, Apple Radish Jimaca Salad, Corn Chip.  Having had their scrapple taco last year….of course just by looking at these tostadas, I knew they were going to have an awesome taste.

dscn3482

They asked if we had had their Duck Scrapple….and that they were planning on a crab scrapple this summer….can’t wait.

dscn3485

THE BRICK HOTEL RESTAURANT & TAVERN – Located in Georgetown on The Circle, http://www.brickhotelrestaurant.com.  The chefs were serving Black Cherry Braised Beef with a Root Vegetable Puree & Roasted Brussels Sprouts.

dscn3486

The black cherry flavored was detected on the braised beef.  It was cooked in a 250 degree oven for 6 hours.  It melted in your mouth.  Totally delish!

dscn3484

THE WALL OF WINE –  This has become very popular at events.  Wine aficionados love it….more so if they get a prized bottle of wine.  You pay $20 and then get to choose a wrapped bottle of wine from the wall.  You might get the $10 bottle or a very expensive bottle.  A ticket was also given for a raffle….a bottle of Dom Perignon at the end of the evening!!

dscn3487

BAYWOOD CLUBHOUSE RESTAURANT – Located in Long Neck, http://www.baywoodgreens.com/restaurant.

dscn3492

Stuffed Pork Pinwheel!! Pop them in your mouth.  They would be perfect for a party.

dscn3491

This pastrami was made out of tuna, on a pumpernickel crouton, caraway sauerkraut, spicy mustard….definitely one of my true favorites of the evening.

dscn3493

Next stop?  BETHANY BLUES, LEWES…Located on Costal Highway (Rt. 1), http://www.bethanyblues.com/lewes.

dscn3502

I love St. Louis Ribs more than any other rib.  That’s what they were serving.  Smoked St. Louis Ribs, caramelized in a Habanero Apple Cider, served with a Jalapeno Slaw.  Got those tastebuds dancing immediately!!

dscn3500

dscn3501

TOUCH OF ITALY – A trattoria, salumeria and pasticeria….http://www.touchofitaly.com.  These restaurants can be found in Lewes, Rehoboth Beach, and Ocean City, Maryland.

dscn3505

Making mozzarella…it looked time consuming, but also relaxing.  Take a look.

dscn3507dscn3503

dscn3506

Smaller mozzarella balls were served with rosemary and EVOO!!

dscn3509

ESPUMA RESTAURANT & MARTINI BAR – Located in Downtown Rehoboth Beach, http://www.espuma-restaurant.com Chef Jay Caputo was serving Spanish Style Clam Chowder topped with Potato Foam and Scallion Powder.

dscn3510

The biscuits were filled with the creamy, and well seasoned clam chowder.  I liked it a lot.

dscn3508

Love this tapas eating style….grazing here or there!!  We tried them all!!  Next!!

dscn3512

FINS FISH HOUSE & RAW BAR – In Downtown Rehoboth Beach and with a sister restaurant on Coastal Highway, http://www.finsrawbar.com.  Another time consuming dish is making risotto.

dscn3513

LAST STOP!!

THE ROOKERY – Located in Milford…2 golf course locations, Milton and Milford, http://www.rookerygolf.com.  We finished our Chowdown with a treat of Ahi Tuna with a Ginger Lime Soy, served over a Seaweed Salad, Cucumber & Wasabi Tobiko.  Excellent ending!!

Crispy Pork Belly, St. Louis Ribs, Barbecue Sauces, Delmarva Chicken, Creamed Corn, Mashed Potatoes, Sussex Medley…Gluten Free!! At Bethany Blues, Lewes, Delaware…Live Music, Fridays, Saturdays, Sydney’s Music Revival at 8:30 p.m.

dscn1110

A Delmarvalous full moon, no less!!  It was gorgeous.  I stood on Lewes Beach, Delaware, to admire it.

Then, off to Bethany Blues, Lewes, located at 18385 Coastal Highway.  A craving for ribs and barbecue chicken.  Tel. 302-644-2500.  Website? http://www.bethanyblues.com.  Love coming here when I least expect it.

dscn1124

I give Bethany Blues and Big Fish Grill big thanks for being so aware of customers with food allergies and sensitivities.  In my family’s case, it is a gluten allergy.  Bethany Blues Manager will come to your table to discuss your allergy and your food options.

The restaurant was comfortably crowded and the fire was glowing.  We sat at the bar area.

A dish that I would say “gotta have it” is the Crispy Pork Belly.  It is an appetizer.  Basically, you get cured pork bellies with a vinegar/apple cider sauce.  Just a little bit is enough.  Delicious.

dscn1117

An order of St. Louis Ribs which were thick and meaty, prepared with a brown sugar rub, smoked for a long time.  The mashed potatoes were made out of red skin potatoes.

dscn1118

The Cheesy Creamed Corn….customers’ favorite.

dscn1119

My Saucy Delmarva Chicken was smoked and seasoned and then brushed with their house sauce.  The meat fell off the bones, true!!  And, that Sussex Medley, was a mix of garbanzo beans, diced cucumbers, tomatoes, onions with chopped cilantro in a light vinaigrette.  It screamed Summer!  That side was sooo good.  During the summer months, when the veggies are at their best, this Sussex Medley is made with local tomatoes and cucumbers.

dscn1123

Some of their award winning sauces are gluten free.

dscn1114

The background music was good tonight.  Live music on Fridays and Saturdays with Sydney’s Music Revival starting at 8:30 p.m.

dscn1115

Friday, 2/1 is Deb Callahan Band – Philadelphia’s blues and soul drenched vocalist and songwriter.  Check http://www.debcallahanband.com.

Saturday, 2/2 Keith Mack and Ed Shockley, lifetime musicians will be performing.  They are returning to their fan base by popular demand.  Check http://www.keithmack.net.

Checking the restaurants that are open year-round….2013 is a new season!!

 dscn3994

It is now evening and as I sat down to write this post, I was thinking that it was really a nice Sunday.  It started with an early breakfast in downtown Rehoboth Beach with a friend.  Then, I went to see what was going on at The Pottery Place where Doggies at The Beach had organized a fun event to raise money for the Georgetown Shelter, Delaware SPCA.

I have mentioned Doggies at The Beach often.  It is where I leave my, rescued dog, Addy, when I go away.  I do so with total confidence that she will get the best care.  This is a cage free facility with 24 hour human supervision.  They are located at 18806 John J. Williams Highway (Rt. 24) in Rehoboth.  Tel. 302-644-8200.  Website? http://www.doggiesatthebeach.com.

This shelter has been so great in promoting their dogs.  You can also find them on Facebook at Georgetown Shelter, Delaware SPCA.  They have tons of events to raise awareness and funds and to find their adoptable dogs their forever homes.  The facebook page will give you updates and keep you informed as the dogs get adopted.  They are doing an amazing job.  The volunteers are caring and, definitely, animal lovers.

Today they had one cat at the event, but they have plenty at the shelter.

What surprised us the most was the arrival of Reggie, the potbelly pig.  He came with its owner who had adopted Reggie from the Georgetown Shelter, Delaware SPCA.  He was so sweet and so friendly!!  He also is used to dogs since there are a few in his household.

What is left to say?  Well, animals bring joy, peace, and serenity to its owners.  It is proven that therapy dogs improve the lifes of the ones they touch.  I look at Addy and she looks back with those eyes that say “thank you for giving me a chance”.  If only she realized that she has given so much more in return.
