This post on my blog is completely away from my beaches. It is the second time I have attended the Greeen Spring Point-to-Point races. Last year the weather was not good but we enjoyed it anyway. Last Saturday, a chilly day, but off I went with Shelley to meet Susie, Peggy and Betsy in Maryland.
From the beaches we brought crabmeat and Fisher’s Popcorn. Upon arriving at Shawan Downs which is in Cockeysville, Maryland I forgot how hilly the Maryland countryside is. After being in Delaware, which is such a flat state, I was getting butterflies in my stomach as I was going up and down the hills. But, it really was a beautiful day.
This was the 9th annual running of the Green Spring Valley Point-to-Point. There were pony races, a junior and senior field master’s, chase and timber races. A post race reception was held under the tent. The proceeds from the event were to benefit the Green Spring Valley Hounds.
We were all bundled up and it was so much fun to get together with these women. They all knew a lot about steeplechasing; I did not, but nevertheless I got into the excitement of each race.
The point-to-point was held at Shawan Downs on 1401 Shawan Road, Cockeysville, Md. The website is http://www.shawandowns.org.
Shawan Downs, is located in Northern Baltimore County. It is a premier equestrian center, featuring a state of the art steeplechase course. It is situated on 300 acres of what used to be farmland in Cockeysville. Established by the Land Preservation Trust, Shawan Downs was founded to preserve the landscape’s agricultural legacy while building a new tradition of equestrian events that benefit local charities. No new residential development will be allowed.
Point-toPoint races originated in England in the 19th century, just like they did in the United States. The purpose was to keep hunters fit and were first called hunt races.
In the U.S. the races were mainly in the fox-hunting country along the Atlantic Coast. The governing body is the National Steeplechase and Hunt Association.
Of course, spending the day outdoors will make anyone thirsty and hungry. We had champagne, and wine, and, we actually had a lot of food with us, including an Asian Noodle Salad, cheeses, the crabmeat and popcorn above mentioned and the Maryland cookies called Berger cookies.
Berger Cookies are a local delicacy. They are yellow cakey cookies with a thick layer of fudge on top. In 1835 two brother named George and Henry Berger arrived in the U.S. from Germany. Henry was a baker and live in East Baltimore. He had 3 sons. Each of them opened their own little bakery. The bakery grew from its modest roots to the most recognized cookie in the Maryland region; same recipe with a few minor adjustments. You can find the Berger cookies at the Lexington Market where there is a location across from Polock Johnny’s and at Royal Farm Stores and probably, at Giant, as well.
Between races we people watched and enjoyed all the dogs and puppies playing around.
A group of young men and women had their table set up with flowers, deviled eggs, shrimp and a drink that I had never heard of called Southside. A conversation started regarding the origins of this drink. This drink was almost exclusively served once at private clubs but it is been public for quite some time. Some of the more recognized bartenders at the Elkridge Club and Green Spring Valley Hunt Club, in Maryland, probably started making it over 40 years ago. It is made with mint, citrus juices and a few of their own secrets.
The secret to a perfect Southside is that it should be gorgeous, silky and refreshing and you can only obtain this by pulverizing the entire mint, cutting stems as well as leaves. The stems have the flavor. That’s the secret!!

Great day spent with friends….what could be better? Watching a few spectators of the canine kind….

That’s too bad I could not find anyone to go with me to a wonderful evening at the Milton Theatre on Friday evening. The previous week, my friend, Debbie, and I attended the film Hands on Harvest at this same venue and were taken over by the beauty of this art deco theater.
I really wanted to go and take some pictures of the inside of the theater. I contacted the Theatre and Ellen Passman called me and informed me that there was a performance on Friday that I should not miss; to come a little earlier so that I would be able to take the pictures for my blog.
The performace on Friday was a live on-stage and vaudeville-themed murder mystery. Ellen wrote it and was also starring in it along with the Delaware Commedy Theatre performers. The Delaware Comedy Theatre, Improve Comedy was started in 2005 and it is a non-profit theatre company. They are located on 131 Glade Circle West, Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971. Website is www.delawarecomedytheatre.com. Ticket Hot Line 888-446-7763 and for classes, workshops, and booking info. you may call 302-258-5443.
I can tell you that on Friday’s performance of the Mysterious Madcap Murder at the Milton Theatre, the “characters” were quirky and hilarious, mingling and interacting with the audience as they stayed in character, as well; that was part of the fun. Some of the people in the audience really got into it, and solving the murder we did.
This wonderful evening of mystery was to help support the Milton Theatre.
Vaudeville was one of the most popular types on entertainment in North America from the 1880’s until the early 1930’s. The performances were separate, unrelated acts grouped together on a common bill. It came to be called “the heart of American show business”.
The Milton Theatre is in the heart of the historic district in Milton. It was built in 1910, and it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places in Milton.
Back in the 1930’s it was the community’s celebrated art deco movie house, featuring silent films, and then, “talkies”.
When you enter this theater, and before performances or movies start, there will be continued showings of silent movies, and “talkies”. What was so wonderful to experience was how the audience was truly laughing. And, at a time when we have so much violence and drama shown in films, it was such a nostalgic feeling to experience a good belly laugh, that I just enjoyed the moment.
The silent films, had no sound, or broken dialogue. The acting and dialogue were expressed through muted gestures and pantomime. “Talkies” followed and these were talking pictures; exclusively shorts. The first talking film was The Jazz Singer, released in 1927.
The ticket office at the Milton Theatre is inside and there are no computers; just a cash box. It is very affordable whether it is a movie, documentary or live performance.
One of the interesting aspects when attending anything at this theatre is that besides the usual soft drinks, you are able to purchase beer and wine, along with candy and other movie treats.
On Friday night’s event there was a 50/50 raffle during intermission. The winner, graciously donated her winnings to the theatre.
The Milton Theatre has entertaining stage productions, dedicated to promoting the arts, and most of all making their productions accessible to the community.
This art deco movie house has been rescued from ruin and it has gone through, and is still on going, a revitalization process with a lot of work, dedication and love from the community, who are all volunteers.
It has endured the tests of time; 3 major fires and many nor’easters. It is a community center for many events and is re-emerging as a destination attraction for a fast-growing arts community.
Note: Information for this post was taken from the www.miltontheatre.org, and http://en.wikipedia.org.
Have a good evening. See you at the Milton Theatre some time….It is only 25 minutes from Rehoboth Beach, going north. Talk to you later….

You must be thinking that I must be nuts thinking about food at 11:20 p.m. on a Friday night but I was just thinking what could I make this week-end since I was going to be out and about; like in Baltimore, for the day.
On a chilly week-end this pasta dish might be considered comfort food but even though it might sound heavy, you will be surprised how tasty it actually is.
Brie Pasta
1 lb Brie cheese, rind removed, chopped into small pieces
5 ounces sundried tomatoes in oil, drained, cut into thin strips (you might be able to get them already cut)
4 ripe tomatoes, cut into cubes
1/2 cup Kalamata olives (pitted)
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup chopped fresh basil
1/2 tsp. pepper
2/3 cup olive oil
1 lb. linguine (you can use another pasta, if you wish; I use gluten free pasta)
Freshly grated fontina or Parmesan cheese to taste
In a large bowl, combine Brie cheese, sundried tomatoes, tomatoes, olives, garlic, basil, pepper and olive oil. Cover and let it sit at room temperature for about 2 hours.
Prepare pasta according to package directions.
Drain pasta and immediately toss with tomato mixture.
Serve immediately with grated cheese.
Serves about 5 to 6 people.
Remember to always make it your own and enjoy it!!! Talk to you later….

I have been watching the renovation of a shop in Rehoboth. As you are coming into town from Rt. 1 it will be on your left hand side. You cannot miss it because its bright colors and catchy name, perfect for the relaxed atmosphere of the beaches will get your attention.
Until today, when I saw the colorful scooters outside, I did not realize what kind of shop it was. Of course, I had to stop in to check them out.
Literally, they just moved in. Not all their inventory is there but let me give you their information. The name of the shop is Fun In The Sun, Scooter Rentals, Sales & Service, 37229 Rehoboth Ave. Ext., Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971. Tel. 302-227-4878. The e-mail address is beachfuninthesun@aol.com. Gary L. Smith is the Scooter Dealer.
 Gary Smith, Owner If you have visited Rehoboth in the past years, you probably saw this shop on Baltimore Ave. This shop has been in business since 2005. I think this new location will be perfect and there is parking available. You know how important that is at the height of the summer season.
The store has different types of scooters and Gary and the other guys are really friendly. I am sure they can set you up with one that will suit your needs when you are visiting us in Rehoboth. Or, you might even like it so much that you will end up buying one. No sales tax in Delaware!!
Fun In The Sun is open 7 days a week. At the moment the hours of operation are 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. Later on they will be extended until 8 p.m.
Gary told me the prices for renting the scooters, but have in mind that they might fluctuate a bit, depending on availability.
$55 for 4 hours, $90 for 7 hours or $425 for 5 days.
The prices for the scooters that are for sale depend on the model. Your best bet is to visit the shop and talk to them or just call them to the above number or e-mail them for that kind of information.
Lots of new scooters are coming in this week. They are just getting organized but check the pictures because they look like they are ready for business.
One scooter that attracted my attention was the Buddy 50. This scooter has a vintage style with modern technology, improved performance and great colors. It already had a sold sign!
Another scooter that Fun In The Sun has is called the ScootCoupe. It is a 3 wheeled scooter for recreational use. Two people fit in it and it even has a trunk. They did not have it in the showroom yet but I remember seeing it last year and it looked like a little car.
I have never ridden on a scooter but I have been told that they are fun and they provide the riders a feel of the air, a sense of speed and thrill. Want more? I have also been told that they are easy to handle, affordable, fuel efficient, can be parked anywhere, and along with many models to fit individual lifestyles they offer excitement just zipping around.
You know, the scooter started in Italy but soon there were scooters from Japan, Taiwan, India, and, don’t you remember when Cosco sold the TN’G which meant “twist and go”? That scooter was from China; now they have their own distribution network.
Nowadays, you can buy electric scooters, motorized scooters, min-scooters, maxi-scooters, gas scooters and the list goes on and on ending with a mini Harley Chopper scooter.
So, are you ready for some fun?
I don’t know, I think I am a scary cat…Talk to you later….

Once again, I will have to repeat that some say passion is your key to success and others say that if you love what you do then you will never work a day in your life.
It was late in the afternoon, and you know how pretty it was. I felt like I wanted a cup of coffee. Since I was near Lewes I ventured into Notting Hill, which is a coffee roastery. But it is more than a coffee shoppe, read on…
Nobody was in the shoppe when I came in and it was around 4:15 p.m. They were closing at 5 p.m.
In a few of my past posts I have mentioned the winning dispositions of some business owners. You know from the moment they look at you that they are friendly; a smile says it all. And, that is just what happened when I met Amy Felker who is the owner and roaster of Notting Hill. I only met her briefly but that is all it took.
She has been known to say “Most people don’t like what they do, but I love what I do”. That is her passion!
Notting Hill is located in the center of Lewes, Delaware, right on 124 Second Street. Tel. toll free 888-99-Latte or 302-645-0733. Website is www.nottinghillcoffee.com. E-mail address is amy@nottinghillcoffee.com.
Notting Hill started with a partnership but since 2003 she has been the sole owner and roaster.
She roasts herself every single bean. You know, coffee roasting is a chemical process by which flavor components are either created, balanced, or altered in a way that augments the flavor, acidity, aftertaste and body of the coffee.
A lot of Amy’s flavors and all of her blends are owned by her; they are unique and you will not find them anywhere else.
So, after Amy roasts her beans then they are bagged. All bags are stamped by her and her staff. Notting Hill distributes wholesale, as well. Amy can make thousands of different beverages at the shop and more than 135 different types of coffee are on the shelf. She really runs the day to day operation of the shoppe.
Depending on the year, she can sell 25,000-40,000 lbs. of coffee.
Coffee has been enjoyed for hundreds of years. Business and coffee go hand in hand. It is a favorite around the world and has been for a long time regardless of how or where it is served.
That tiny bean is responsible for the employment of thousands of people.
Notting Hill is a very warm and cozy coffee shop. But there are so many other delectables sold here. You should know that just like the coffees, all baked goods and soups and sandwiches are baked or cooked in the shoppe.
The shoppe opens at 7 a.m. until 5 p.m. During the summer season there will be extended hours.
Some customers come for specific baked goods like the Blueberry Puffing Muffin, which is like a blueberry muffin inside a pastry. Just check the picture yourself.
Another favorite is the Ooey Gooey which is a long twisted cinnamon pastry with cinnamon and sugar. I did not see one, but I can see it being similar to a Spanish churro, if you have ever had one, except this one is twisted.
You can find cookies, muffins, scones; everything that goes well with coffee. But, coffee is not the only beverage served here; there are smoothies and blended iced teas, as well.
There is a great assortment for the tea drinker. Loose teas to be bought to take home or just to be enjoyed sitting in one of the tables inside the shoppe, while you read one of the newspapers available for the customers.
On the Board you will find an Espresso Menu, as well as a Menu consisting of the daily offerings. Another small board will announce the Organic Java of the Day. And a third board will be a Cocoa Menu with all kinds of cocoa drinks, even sugar free ones.
The whole time I was there, Linda, who also works at Notting Hill was busy getting ready to close for the day, but customers started to come in and she graciously took care of them.
As I was sitting sipping my coffe I started to remember the Puerto Rican coffee that was always so well known, and all the coffee plantations around the island, now Paradores or Inns. Some of the coffees from Puerto Rico are Cafe Yaucono, Cafe Crema, Cafe Rico, Cafe Pilon, Yauco Selecto and Cafe Alto Grande. Puerto Rican coffee is rich and full-bodied.
A few things worth mentioning are: Some of the coffees available at Notting Hill are bird friendly, Smithsonian certified and Rainforest Alliance certified.
You should really visit the website above mentioned. You can place orders, check what they have besides coffee and most of all get a sense of what Amy is all about.
If you are visiting our Delaware Beaches check this shoppe out. Their new omelette in a muffin will be making its debut soon.
As Notting Hill gets into the month of April they are so excited since April 30th will be their 20th anniversary. Congratulations!!
That’s all for tonight…See you and talk to you later….

Update received from the MERR Institute, Inc. regarding the findings after performing a necropsy on the Fin Whale that washed up this past week-end on the beach in Fenwick Island. This information is from a member of the necropsy team. It was only 20 years old, and weighed at least 100,000 lbs.
