This is a salumeria, a pasticeria and the Lewes location will soon be a trattoria, as well.
When A Touch of Italy opened in Rehoboth Beach back in October of 2009 I knew exactly what kind of product they were going to be delivering. Lou’s mother was well known in the Bethany Beach area with an amazing bakery.
I wrote about A Touch of Italy in Rehoboth on 10/16/09 and you can see that by clicking on that month and scrolling down to the date.
So, Michael was hungry today on a cold winter’s day. As we were doing errands in Rehoboth he remembered A Touch of Italy from when, in December, I took him after they had just opened in Lewes. A Touch of Italy in Rehoboth; you could have found us there at around 3:00 p.m. We were lucky because I thought maybe because of the weather, well, it could have been closed.
The Rehoboth location of A Touch of Italy is 33A Baltimore Ave., the tel. is 302-227-1500 and the website for both locations is www.touchofitalyde.com.
Lou was there. Once again, Michael decided to have the same hero as the one he had in Lewes. That’s the only one he has tried. Lou fixed him a beautiful Rocky Marciano with hot sopresata, sharp provolone cheese imported from Italy, roasted peppers and Extra Virgin Olive Oil, in a semolina bread with sesame seeds.
Then I wanted some Spanish Manchego cheese. It is one of my favorites. Lou took a piece and then sliced a fig; what a treat that was!!
We also left with some cookies, which I am sure his mother made.
Michael could not wait to get home. Of course, he had to wait until I took a picture. Took several, actually. Here is another one.
Again, no talking; just thumbs up enjoying what he said was the most delicious hero. I took a bite and I kid you not when I say that I could have eaten the whole thing. The meats, the combinations of roasted peppers and cheese, could not have been better. Another time he will have to try something else.
The Rehoboth location will have new winter hours as of next week. They will be closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
The Lewes location opens every day and the address is 101 Second St. Tel. 302-827-2730.
I wrote about the Lewes location on 12/3/10. If you would like to see that post, just click on that month and scroll down to the date.
Have a great one…talk to you later….

It is so interesting how we can just discard anything we don’t want without giving it another thought. An office was moving and was getting rid of a table. I think it was probably their conference table but I am not sure.
“Another person’s trash is someone else’s treasure.” And that is what happened to the table my husband rescued. He thought it was so pretty; did not know what kind of wood it was. And, I am sorry I don’t have the “before” picture.
He found Melroy’s Furniture Refinishing and Chair Caning; gave them a call. Melroy’s is located at 20597 Mulberry Knoll Rd., Lewes, DE 19958. Tel. 302-645-1856. The website? www.melroysrefnishing.com. Please check out the website to see all their services.
They are considered to be the only company in our area that provides, refinishing, repairing and caning of furniture. All stripping of furniture is hand stripped. And, they do have 32 years of experience.
This is the first time that I had met them and had the opportunity to use their services. Melroy’s was mentioned to me by a friend in Ocean City, Maryland about 6 months ago as a possible subject for my blog.
Plenty of times I have gotten calls asking me where furniture can be refinished and also for info. about chair caning. It is a talent and can only be done well by someone that has a love for working with his or her hands.
Melroy’s is a husband and wife team. Mel is the wife and Roy is the husband. Mel has followed her father’s footsteps; he worked with woods all his life. She started as a little girl.
Mel is from Hoopers Island. Hoopers Island is one of the 3 islands in Dorchester County, Maryland. They are surrounded by water; the Chesapeake Bay on one side and the Honga River on the other. Remote but known for sport fishing and the crabbing industry.
Mel also picked crabs for a living. Also, worked at Jimmy Lynn’s Seafood & Carry Out, located at 18226 Coastal Highway. Tel. 302-644-9329. I wrote a post on Jimmy Lynn’s on 7/31/09. If you want to see it just click on that month and scroll down to the date. Remember them? They are the ones that have the “home of the crabs with attitude”. A note of interest is that Lynn is Mel’s sister.
We then received a call that the table was ready for us to see and also for us to pick a stain. We knew we wanted to leave it as natural as possible. The wood was cherry.
The cherry trees produce one of the best woods used to make furniture. It is a brown American hardwood that has a hint of pink or dark red to it. It darkens with age.
We decided on a natural stain to show its beauty. But, where were we going to put it? I decided that this table was going to be my new desk. It is 6 feet in length and almost 3 feet in width. It is comfortable and I love it. It was tricky getting it in its new spot but it was done. Melroy’s can pick up and deliver, as well.
They were great to work with and you know how it is….word of mouth….it is the best advertising tool….talk to you later…..
Note: Some info. for this post was taken from www.wisegeek.com.

I know breakfast is supposed to give your body the fuel needed to face the rest of the day. To tell you the truth I don’t find breakfast that exciting. Well, unless I can have a Rapa Scrapple Sandwich. I don’t eat too many of those either, though. You know, trying to lose weight; definitely, that’s not going to help.
Wait a minute. I guess I should tell you what Scrapple is. Well, to me there is only one; Rapa. That’s the company that makes it. It is a pork product from Bridgeville, Delaware. I like it sliced thin, sauteed until crisp; in a sandwich or by itself. More info? Their website is www.rapascrapple.com.
For breakfast my friends and I go to our favorites in Rehoboth Beach, like Crystal or Greenman. It is usually a special time any time I can get together with them. Their names? Why not? Missy, Debbie and Roberta and once in a while Alice, when she is in town.
When in Delray, I follow pretty much the same routine than at home; coffee, cream, and Stevia; later on, a gala apple. But, once in a while I like to find that special breakfast place; the one where I can sit outdoors and have a cup of coffee, an omelette, with no one rushing me.
I was in Delray before the Christmas holidays and we decided to try Atlantique Cafe. This Cafe is located at the Atlantic Plaza, 777 East Atlantic Ave., Suite C-8. Tel. 561-272-1170. Website is www.atlantiquecafe.com. You can find them on Twitter and Facebook. They have breakfast, lunch and dinner. Plenty of parking, as well.
Part of the charm of Delray is that it is a very walkable town. If you are a walker you can pretty much cover the whole downtown. If you are coming from A1A on Atlantic Ave., then right after you cross the intracoastal bridge, on the right, you will find the Atlantic Plaza. The Cafe is towards the back. And, if you are coming on Atlantic Ave. from I-95 then continue until you see the bridge and the Plaza will be to your left.
It was chilly; but now that is 20 degrees in Delaware I guess it is all relative. I wanted to sit outside, and so we did. They were busy but attentive. Some people sat with their dogs at their feet.
I don’t know if I was up to explaining the gluten free allergy so early in the a.m. Guess what? They were good. It was easier than I thought.
I went inside to check the restaurant and I was impressed; bigger than I thought with a bar that could fit plenty of people. By the way they have happy hour from 4 to 7 p.m. They also offer free Wi-Fi and have large t.v.s for all those sport enthusiasts.
Finally, I decided to have a Greek Omelette. It had onion, tomato, spinach, gyro meat and feta cheese. As much as I say about breakfast I have to tell you that the omelette was moist, and I think the gyro meat and the feta were a pretty good combination. It was a big omelette but, no, I did not have any trouble finishing it, which by the way, came with a side of hash browns.
My husband’s breakfast was not on the menu; he made his own thing; Corned Beef, fried onions on hashbrowns. He also wanted cole slaw. He knows his cole slaw and liked this one a lot. If he had said it was o.k. then I would have known better.
I loved that huge tree. We sat under it and it added so much to the atmosphere of this restaurant. I did not have lunch or dinner but they do offer salads and platters, cold sandwiches, off the grill and even a kids menu. Full dinner menu is also available Mondays through Saturdays from 5 p.m. until 10 p.m.
If you are visiting Delray, give them a call if you would like to know what entertainment is being offered. At the time of my visit Elvis was there on Saturdays.
Have a great week….keep warm if you are up north…enjoy yourselves if you are in warmer climates…talk to you later…..

“A woman should never be seen eating or drinking, unless it be lobster salad and Champagne, the only true feminine and becoming viands.” lord byron
We really would be in trouble if that was true. Nevertheless, I had lobster on New Year’s Eve. And even though it was lobster; the dinner was casual, in front of the fire place. I still don’t have a working oven. Can you believe that? It has not been that bad, though.
I was thinking, why is it that some of the specialty foods are only to be eaten on special occasions? I think that every time you sit at the table, it should be special. The food should be prepared from the heart; like you mean it.
This recipe is a Lobster Newburg. Actually, this is an American dish. I added small peas to give the dish contrast and color. The dish was to also be baked, but I did not see any need to it; nor did I have the oven to do that. So here it goes.
Crepes with Lobster Newburg
2 1/2 cups lobster meat (I got 3 small lobsters)
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 lb. mushrooms, thinly sliced
1/2 cup frozen petite peas
2 cups medium cream (I mixed 1 cup of heavy cream and 1 cup of half and half)
1/2 tablespoon flour (I used Arrowhead Mills, gluten free baking mix)
1/4 cup dry Sherry (remember? a little more of this or a little less of that)
1 cup cream (heavy)
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste (I did not use salt)
Crepes
I had the market cooked the lobsters and as soon as I got home I got the meat out and put it aside. Chop it but you still want to see nice chunks of lobster.
In a large skillet melt butter and saute the mushrooms for a few minutes. Add the lobster and peas to heat through. Don’t overcook it, please.
Heat, but do not boil, the cream sauce and add sherry to it. Then add the egg yolks to the heavy cream and combine. Then add it to the cream sauce. If you think that it is too thin then add the flour and wisk it in quickly. Add the paprika and seasonings.
Note: As you can see there are 2 creams; one is the cream sauce and the other is the 1 cup of heavy cream. To that cup of heavy cream you will be adding the egg yolks. A little confusing, I know.
Add the cream to the lobster, mushroom and peas. Again just heat it through. If you want you can just turn it off while you are preparing the crepes. It should not take long.
Crepes
This recipe for crepes can be made ahead of time; even the night before. Just cover and refrigerate. It is a basic recipe and can be used plain with just a bit of honey on top or as a stuffed crepe.
3 eggs
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour ( I used Arrowhead Mills gluten free baking mix)
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon milk
A pinch of salt
Combine all of the above and stir until the ingredients are the consistency of thin cream.
In a 10 inch non-stick frying pan or crepe pan, melt 1 tblsp. of butter. When it bubbles, pour some of the batter, enough to cover the bottom with a thin coating. Cook a couple of minutes and with a large spatula flip it over and cook on the other side for a few minutes, as well. Take it out of the pan and continue with the rest of them using butter as needed. I made four of them and had left-over batter.
After I filled the crepe I put extra sauce on top. It turned out very nice and the combination of flavors was good. If you do not like Sherry, then you can use Madeira. Lobster Newburg was originally prepared with Madeira wine but it seemed that it was thought to be too sweet.
As you can see from my pictures I had steamed asparagus as a side dish. You can prepare your favorite vegetable or just a salad. You know, make it your own.
This is a rich and flavorful dish. You might just want to have one crepe and save the rest for another day.
It can serve 4 people easily.
Enjoy it and the next day….do extra exercises….talk to you later…

January 6th, 2011
I have to tell you that back on June 3, 2010, I wrote a post about MIXX. When I first visited this restaurant I was pleasantly surprised by the decor, the service, the ambiance, and of course, most importantly, the food.
I went over what I had written on that post, and I must admit I would not change a thing on it. What a coincidence; again I was visiting MIXX on a Wednesday; gourmet burger night. Friends were joining us for dinner, as well. Their first time at MIXX.
Cindi and Ross are good friends from Ocean City and it has been some time since we had seen each other. The moment we sat down Ross was so happy. MIXX is casual, eclectic, intimate, a little hip, and just the right size. His type of restaurant.
MIXX is located at 26 Baltimore Ave., Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971. The tel. is 302-226-8700. The website? www.mixxrehoboth.com. It is recommended you make reservations, but we did not have any. We were seated immediately; right after, it started filling up.
Cindi and Ross could not believe how comfortably crowded the town of Rehoboth was on a Wednesday night in January. Even though there are restaurants that are closed, Rehoboth Beach has a vibrant community that supports the restaurants that do stay open. These restaurants, in turn, offer great specials, practically every day of the week.
On Wednesdays you will find $8 Gourmet Burgers and Half-priced martinis at MIXX. So we started reading the menu; I knew what I wanted, though.
Yes, I wanted one of the burgers. They had 8 choices. Besides burgers MIXX offered appetizers, flatbreads, soups, salads and entrees like Deviled Short Ribs, Macadamian Crusted Rockfish, MIXX Crab Cakes and Mahi Mahi, which was topped with a papaya mango relish, served with dirty rice and grilled asparagus.
I have to make a comment regarding food allergies and they way MIXX deals with such a sensitive subject. Their menu has (gf) after all items that are gluten free; they have plenty of choices. If you are vegetarian/vegan, then they suggest you call ahead and their chef will prepare a special entree. It is so refreshing that the restaurants in our beaches are addressing these needs.
We started with the Margarita Flatbread which was simple and tasty with fresh tomato, basil, spicy marinara, topped with fresh mozzarella.
We also ordered the Hot and Spicy Edamame, which were tossed with hot and spicy sesame oil. That dish was gluten free.
Two salads were ordered, as well. Both were gluten free. A Wedge Salad which was an Iceburg lettuce wedge with peppered bacon, hard boiled egg, roasted corn, bleu cheese crumbles, siracha ranch dressing.
An Autumn Salad with wild grain rice, wine soaked raisins, dried fruit and cashews, served over mixed g reens with a maple mustard vinaigrette. That salad was ordered as a tapas size.
Most of the menu items can be ordered as full or tapas (smaller) portions.
I ordered the Apple Pork Burger, which had grated apples, ground pork, rubbed sage, topped with caramelized onions, served with maple creme fraiche. The combinations of all those flavors were good; sweetness well received. I chose truffle fries for my side dish.
Cindi had the Black & Blue Bison Burger, with cracked pepper seasoned ground bison, topped with blue cheese crumbles, lettuce and tomato. She also chose the truffle fries for her side dish. She thought it was delicious and even took some home.
Ross decided on the Angus Beef Burger, topped with bacon, roasted red peppers and pepper jack cheese, side of chipolte mayo, which he declined. It hit the spot. His side dish was the sweet potato fries.
Truffle fries vs. sweet potato fries? For me, it is a toss up.
My husband decided on 2 appetizers for his dinner and they looked beautiful.
The Crab & Feta Stuffed Portobello – It was a marinated portobello, lump crab and feta cheese topped with provolone, roasted red peppers and finished with a balsamic drizzle. Gluten free, of course, and he loved it.
He thought the Seared Scallops were perfectly cooked and seasoned. They were served with shredded brussels sprouts, bacon, and a Dijon mustard aioli. Again, gluten free.
And, what can I say about the service? Courtney was attentive, making sure all our needs were taken care of. Pete came to talk to us, as well.
MIXX opens from Wednesday through Sunday at 5:30 p.m. Sunday Brunch from 10:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. On Thursdays they will offer half priced wine (glass or bottle), and Free (tapas) Appetizer, Soup or MIXX Salad. Sundays is buy one entree, get one free.
So many choices, so many restaurants to try…a lot of possibilities….One thing for sure is the fact that sharing a meal with friends…is and will always be, priceless!!
Winter Blues?…..get out, take a walk, sponsor the restaurants, the shops…enjoy this unique time of the year at the Beach….Talk to you later….
January 5th, 2011
Last night was the first time in the New Year that I decided to go out and grab something to eat. My choice? Barbecue. Not only in the summer do I get a craving for ribs and brisket but on a cold winter night, I just love it. I barbecue year-round in my own home; I really do like it; a casual way to eat.
I wrote a post on Bethany Blues back on 1/2/10 so if you would like to read it just click on the month of January of 2010 and scroll down to the date.
Bethany Blues is located at 618285 Coastal Highway (Rt. 1), Lewes, DE 19958. The telephone is 302-644-2500. The website? www.bethanyblues.com. The first Bethany Blues is in Bethany Beach but the one in Lewes is the one that is being reviewed on this post.
This restaurant seems to be one of those in our coastal area that is crowded evey night. Something for everyone with plenty of specials and entertainment every night of the week.
As you come into the restaurant you will be greeted by their host; Michael was there last night and he has been in the Rehoboth Beach area for many years. There is also a counter where t-shirts, rubs and sauces, with the Bethany Blues label, are available for purchase.
The restaurant has booths and tables on one side for a more quiet dining atmosphere.
Last night the action was more in their bar; a football game was about to start. It is, actually, a pretty good size bar with t.v.s, booths, high tables; on one side, a stage for musical entertainment.
We decided to sit at a booth and immediately our waitress came over and when we mentioned the gluten free allergy, she proceeded to get the manager who went over the menu, sauces, etc. with us. This is one of those restaurants that is on top of the gluten allergy and other food related allergies. No gluten menu because some items change so much that they prefer to go over with them with the customer.
The appetizer we chose was a smoked pork belly, served with apple cider syrup on the side. I had never had it and it was tasty, crunchy, delicious and it reminded me of eating roasted pig in Puerto Rico. Perfect for the Three King’s holidays.
One other dish ordered was just the baby backs. On the side? A jalapeno slaw with rice vinegar and an order of creamed corn.
My dish? I guess my eyes were bigger than my stomach but besides wanting baby backs I also wanted some brisket. A side of that jalapeno slaw, which by the way had a nice refreshing kick to it and their veggies of the day.
As my dish was delivered to the table a couple went by and the lady look and my dish and said “oh that’s big”. I really did not eat it all, believe me. I have left-overs in my refrigerator, at the moment.
The meat on the ribs fell off the bone and the brisket was perfectly cooked, as well. A little bit of their papaya grilling sauce and their spicy barbecue sauce complemented them perfectly.
Definitely, there was no dessert tried.
As I mentioned before Bethany Blues is bringing entertainment to their restaurant pretty much every week. Last night they had open mic and you could bring your instruments and jam, then on Wednesdays is loveseed unplugged with Rick & Pete live, Thursday is trivia night, Saturdays is Keith Mack live. You can get more info. from their website.
But what caught my attention was Sydney’s Music Revival. Do you remember Sydney’s in Rehoboth Beach? This is the same Sydney Arzt, who developed Sydney’s restaurant in Rehoboth as a very good restaurant with very good creole food. At the same time she brought to her restaurant local and national jazz and blues musicians.
Well, for the past year she has been bringing jazz and blues to Bethany Blues. This restaurant is a new venue for Jazz and Blues at the beach. So make sure to check out the website because it is starting again on January 14th and every week after that.
The term “the blues” refers to the “blue devils”, meaning melancholy and sadness. The word “jazz” began as a West Coast slang term, first used to refer to music in Chicago about 1915.
It might be winter, here at the beaches but if you want to, you can really find plenty of things to do.
Have a great day!!…talk to you later….
January 4th, 2011
I took a drive to Rehoboth Avenue yesterday just to see how the town looked after all the holiday festivities are now a thing of the past. The Avenue had plenty of cars parked on both sides of the street. I guess not everyone had gone home or started school.
Then, I got out of the car to check the beach and the boardwalk. I was, practically, the only person there. Granted, it was 2:30 p.m. and 36 degrees; not windy, though, but still cold, nevertheless. North or south; empty.
The sight of the empty beach and the boardwalk made me realize that it is now definitely winter; a much slower pace at the beaches. Don’t get me wrong; I love it this way. A time to recharge and enjoy the area in a most unique way.
A lot of restaurants, bakeries, cafes are still open; but some have closed this week-end for a much deserved rest. They will be open soon; in a couple of months.
And then the scenes will be the ones that give reason to come to our beaches; the boardwalk, the fries, pizza and best of all the unobstructed Delaware beaches.
In the meantime there are a few things that might be of interest to you this week:
The Rehoboth Beach Film Society is located in Rehoboth Beach. It offers something for everyone all year round; film events, youth events, the independent film festival, and so many more. Check their website www.rehobothfilm.com for all information pertaining to the Society.

Wednesday, January 5th – Jaffa – 7:00 p.m. at Movies at Midway – In the heart of the Israel city of Jaffa, Reuven’s garage is a family run business. The garage workers consist of Reuven’s daughter, Mali, his aggressive and distant son Meir, as well as the young Palestinian man, Toufik. No one suspects that Mali and Toufik have been in love for years, and that Mali is pregnant with Toufik’s child. As the two lovers secretly make their wedding arrangements, tension steadily builds between Toufic and Meir, who openly voices his disdain and prejudices about Arabs. As these relationships continue to intensify, emotions begin to boil, resulting in an astonishing conclusion.
