A great mid day activity in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, that I am not sure if you already know. Through September, on Tuesdays, and beginning at 11 a.m., you can start your mid day with a cooking class….here is how it works.
It is called Cooking Rehoboth. You can get more info., by visiting http://www.cookingrehoboth.com, but, in the meantime, even though I have not attended this weekly event, I can pass on the info., before September flies by.
The cost is $75 per person. Group discount for 2 or more, as well.
Location? The Rehoboth Beach Farmers’ Market at Grove Park, located next to the Rehoboth Beach Chamber of Commerce and The Visitor’s Center in Dowtown Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. More info? http://www.rbfarmersmarket.com/map.html.
You will start in the instructor’s kitchen which is around the corner. Beginning with a pie crust, takling about the culinary heritage of Delmarva…pie crust done and then in the refrigerator. Off to the Rehoboth Beach Farmers’ Market, http://www.rbfarmersmarket.com to find fresh fruit to put in the pie. There is always plenty of fresh fruit at the Rehoboth Beach Farmers’ Market. It will be a surprise, though.
 
Shorter days and cooler temperatures bring a different atmosphere to this market. It will be a great experience to shop, then cook, and….Eat!!!
Never a lack for seafood at the market, but at times, meat and poultry are not available on that particular Tuesday. The chef might have to order fresh meats ahead of time. That is all that might be pre-planned. The rest of the meal will be an unexpected surprise….you will have to see what’s available at the market that day.
 
The lunch will be casual, yet elegant. It will be easy to make so that you can do so, as well, at home.
You can watch or, as they say, roll up your sleeves and enjoy the moment.
I think it sounds great!! Have a good day.

Nothing better than a cup of coffe early in the morning with fresh baked bread. I remember years ago when my grandmother in Puerto Rico would always invite her neighbors for a cup a coffee and bread in the afternoons. It was a routine.
Stopping at Old World Breads reminded me of that so long ago. Old World Breads are making a statement at the Delaware Beaches and beyond. They are located at 32191 Nassau Rd., Unit 4, Lewes, DE 19958 Tel. 302-313-5191 Website? http://www.oldworldbreads.com. Their bakery hours at this time of the year are Tuesdays through Saturdays from 7 a.m. until 5 p.m. Sundays from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Directions: From Rt. 1 driving North make a right turn on Nassau Rd, right before the Nassau Bridge. Go 1/4 of a mile and they are on the right. From Rt. 1 driving South make a left turn onto Nassau Rd., as soon as you go over the Nassau Bridge. Go that 1/4 of a mile and they are on the right.
Old World Breads are found at farmers markets in the area and beyond: Historic Lewes Farmer’s Market on Saturdays, Rehoboth Beach Farmer’s Market on Tuesdays, Milton Farmer’s markets on Fridays, Penn Quarter Farmer’s Market on Thursday, and Annapolis Farmer’s Market on Sundays. During the summer season, you can also find Old World Breads at the farmer’s market in Bethany Beach and Sea Colony in Bethany Beach.
Arriving at Old World Breads….we were not the only ones taking the bakery in. Gorgeous breads, delicious aroma.
The croissants were ready to go…and they were. Local jams and jellies, the perfect addition to any baked goods.
 
Tons of local peaches peeled for just out of the oven peach pies.
Plum pies made with Frangipane. This is a pastry cream used in baking desserts, sweets, cakes and pancakes. It is made with milk, sugar, flour, eggs, and butter, mixed with crushed macaroons or ground almonds. It gives the baked goods a special taste.
And last but not least we took home some flat breads. Surprise, surprise…a little kick to get those tastebuds going.
Stop for coffee….try their breads and baked goods. Say hello. A friendly staff, ready to tell you what baking bread is all about.
Please Note that Old World Breads also has wholesale and special occasions.
Talk to you later. Have a great day…it is cooler out there!!

Spending time in Rehoboth Beach gets even better if you happen to be visiting on Tuesdays. Just like this past Tuesday it was a sunny and hot day in the Nation’s Summer Capital. And, right behind the Visitors Center the white tents were already up….the Rehoboth Beach Farmers’ Market begins at Noon and ends at 4 p.m.
The increasing demand for healthier food are making these farmers’ markets a gathering place….it so much more personal than being in a traditional grocery store. You can interact with the growers and vendors. Plus, I think they also have become social events. If you are a local meet the visitors. Farmers markets offer fresh and local produce and baked goods.
The Rehoboth Beach Farmers’ Market website is very informative. You can read about the vendors, what will be happening at the market, entertainment, and recipes. Please visit http://www.rbfarmersmarket.com.
Flowes, breads, vegetables…..look how beautiful they looked.
   
Some of the residents show up very early, so as not to miss anything. Even though baked goods were plentiful on Tuesday, they do go quickly….our local bakeries are excellent.
 
Fresh Harvest Hydroponics got my attention. They were from Millsboro, Delaware. Tel. 301-643-2487. Lettuces and basil….hydroponics; growing plants in water without soil.
Jams and jellies always found at the market.
Fifer’s raspberries looked gorgeous!!
Then, I came to the end of the line……Bennett Orchards had a truck full of peaches….the first of the season, making their appearance at the Rehoboth Beach Farmers’ Market. Offering fresh cut peaches to customers….when peaches are just picked, it becomes a complete different fruit….
So, I am watching the unloading of the peaches….and I do want to take some pictures. They looked beautiful.
The line of customers was pretty long. It was, definitely, the tent to hit on Tuesday.
I decided to stand behind the guy with the stripe t-shirt…..He was buying peaches, berries, you name it. So, all of a sudden I was tapped on my shoulder. The lady said…..”The line is back there.” Some were rolling their eyes, I just told her I wanted to take some pictures….not buying anything. Not to worry, please…not cutting in line.
Then, the guy with the stripe t-shirt turned and said “Go right ahead, I am on vacation”. That was priceless!! And I was grateful. These are my photos.
  
You know what’sgood about the Rehoboth Beach Farmers’ Market? That even on a hot day, it is great to visit. Lots of trees and the Tot Lot adjacent to it make it a place for the whole family. You sit and enjoy your goodies or just take in the scene.
Oh, wow….there is my friend with the stripe t-shirt. He was really shopping the market.
Have a great day!! Remember Tuesdays, rain or shine!!
