Dear Cultured Pearl:
Hi, it has been some time. No, I have not moved. You know how it is, being that you are so popular, I had to wait until the visitors had gone home, the meters have been put to sleep and Rehoboth was into its Second Season.
I almost went on Monday. I had friends from Colorado visiting. Then, I forgot that it was locals night. I knew you would be packed and thought that specials rolls needed to be ordered; I did not want to wait. I know, I know it is a great deal; 3 rolls, edamame, miso soup for $13. Actually, a great deal.
 Sushi Bar - My Favorite Place to Sit Anyway, we chose to visit on Tuesday and have a more relaxed dinner in order to catch up on our lives.
Angie was our server. She was very friendly and throughout our meal she was attentive.
We had Miso, sashimi, sushi and rolls…all very good. I always have my favorites. Three of us ate more “family style” while the other, being my husband, had his own all to himself. It is great that you are very aware that some of your customers have food related allergies. Having gluten free soy sauce is nice. We don’t have to carry our own.
At times I am able to take a lot of pictures of our food. On that night I had to rush since they were diving into everything they ordered.
Crunchy – Eel, avocado, tempura bits, spicy sesame, and eel sauce.
Spider – Tempura, sofshell crab, cucumber, avocado, lettuce, and natural tobiko.
One of my favorites and I know different restaurants prepare this roll in different ways; yours really is a standout; the Firecracker. Tuna, salmon tempura maki topped with spicy mayo, fresh jalapeno slice, jumbo lump crab and sriracha dot. It has a distinct flavor in every bite and the combination of that heat and crab and fish is delicious.
My husband had eel sushi, baby octupus and smoked salmon sushi.
Last year I learned that not all wasabi is the same. Real wasabi is sold in root form. It is usually freshly grated before served. It is delicate, delicious and different from what the majority think of wasabi. The other wasabi served is pretty much horseradish, mustard and food coloring. I am glad you have it fresh all the time. On this picture, the fresh wasabi is on the left.
My friends ordered Miso Soup. That is also one of your best. I have tried in many other restaurants but yours is so well seasoned and hits the spot every time.
A favorite of mine are scallops sashimi. So fresh and eating them along with a thin slice of lemon is all the better. We had them sashimi, as well, but like I said I was not fast enough with the lense.
For dessert we ordered mochi. Glutinous rice is pounded to make mochi. Then, it is filled with ice cream. Flavors vary like, strawberry, chocolate, mango, green tea. Our ordered arrived and I thought they were somewhat different. They looked like little golf balls.
The ones served in the past were flatter. I do agree that the ice cream melted quickly. Angie told us that these ones are better quality and the ice cream stays firm. I liked the other ones better but that did not keep me from eating them, either.
Thanks for a nice evening…the purpose of this post. Having dinner with my old friend (and our husbands), is always a treat.

Another beautiful day in the Delmarva Peninsula!! Enjoy!!

“In 1682 one of the most significant milestones occured, when the current lands of the State of Delaware were granted to William Penn. He proclaimed that Cape Henlopen and its natural resources were to be for the common usage of the citizens of Lewes and Sussex County, thus establishing some of the first “public lands”.”
With that in mind and being that it was late in the p.m., Marisa and I took off from downtown Rehoboth Beach towards Cape Henlopen State Park.
Cape Henlopen State Park is located at 15099 Cape Henlopen Drive, Lewes, DE 19958. Just east of the Cape May Lewes Ferry. It does not take long to get there from Rehoboth, especially at this time of the year.
The Park is open 7 days a week until 4 p.m. The fees are $4 for registered Delaware vehicles and $8 for out of state cars. This fees are in effect until November 30th. If you would like more info., please visit www.destateparks.com/park/cape-henlopen.
Just like the Greyhounds were lounging at the beach in Rehoboth, the deer were out and about in the Park. It was amazing to see that they were totally unafraid. I was so near this young one; I practically could touch it.
The other ones were grazing or just hanging.
As we continued through the Park we stopped at the concession area. I always take the picture walking towards the beach. I love how it looks with the water meeting me at the end.
It was quiet and gorgeous, as usual.
The point was busy and windy, as well. The kiteboarders were having a ball.
On the Calendar:
Saturday, 10/15 is the Wine, Cheese & Beer Tasting, from 4 to 6 p.m., at the Officer’s Club in the Cape Henlopen State Park. This is a fundraising event for the new children’s playground sponsored by the Friends of Cape Henlopen State Park.
$20 in advance or $25 at the door (entrance to the Park is included)
Tickets can be purchased at R & B Liquors at 207 Second St., Lewes, The Biden Center at the Cape Henlopen State Park, or at the Lewes Chamber of Commerce in Lewes. More info? Please call 302-858-6127.
The much awaited 23rd Annual Fantasy Trail will be:
Friday and Saturday 10/28 and 10/29 from 6:00 until 8:30 p.m.
Sunday, 10/30 from 6:00 p.m. until 7:30 p.m.
$5 per person (children and adults)
Wear your costumes….please!!!
Have a Great Day!!

A friend was visiting from Colorado. She thought she would be able to enjoy a day at the beach. You know swimming, tanning, sand between your toes. All those things we take for granted when we live at the beach.
Marisa has the mountains and I have the beach. We get together when we can. We have been friends forever.
Walking in Rehoboth at this time of the year is a real treat. It gets crowded on week-ends; on any day during the evenings the restaurants are comfortably crowded, as well.
So, yesterday we took in some stores, a little lunch and a walk on the beach. It really was beautiful, serene and just taking in that salty air made you feel good. No other way to describe it.
We were not the only ones relaxing. We found a group of Greyhounds. The actual Greyhounds Reach The Beach starts today in Dewey Beach. If you do need some info. on what is going with events, etc. etc. you can visit www.deweybeachvendordirectory.com and www.greyhoundsreachthebeach.com.
They were so relaxed; they certainly are quiet and gentle dogs. They all had very neat collars; ready to impress this week-end.
Later on we saw another group, including some Whippets which are like Greyhounds. They were also very stylish with their collars. Then when I was putting the picture on this post, I noticed the owner’s own pocketbook. The face of a Whippet.
That’s all for this short post. Nothing else needed to be said.
 Getting ready for some surf fishing. Talk to you later…Have a good one!!

“A film is – or should be- more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what’s behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later.” s. kubrick

While the local adults try to avoid both the armed military and the guerilla rebels fighting each other in the area, Manuel and his friend, Julian are obsessed with playing soccer any chance they get….” Disaster strikes when Julian’s soccer ball, given to him for his birthday gets kicked off to a minefield….How far will they go to recover their prized posession. Not rated in Spanish with English subtitles.

For tickets please call 302-645-9095, ext. 1. Or, visit www.rehobothfilm.com.
Rebecca – Artists who happen to be mothers are the focus of this Cinema & Art.
Discover local mother and artists, Rebecca Raubacher in the short documentary, Rebecca. Directed by her daughter, Riley Raubacher, the film provides an intimate glimpse into the Rehoboth artist’s life as he builds a career combining her love of art and horses. 6 minutes.
The next documentary asks why in a half-changed world, women often feel they need to choose between mothering and working, their children’s well being and their own.
Who Does She Think She Is? was directed by Academy Award Winning filmmaker, Pamela Tanner Boo and it features 5 fierce women who refuse to choose. Through their lives the film explores some of the most problematic choices female artists are forced to make – between mothering and creativity, partnering and independence, and economics and art.
The film reminds the audience that in ancient times, women were worshipped as cultural muses. Ironically, in mothern times most people can’t even name a handful of female artists.
Following the screening Rebecca Raubacher, Anita Peghini-Raber and Kim Klabe will discuss their experiences juggling motherhood and a career as an artist.
Kim Klabe – She is a Rehoboth Beach “oil painter who focuses on familiar, local sights, quaint cottages, again farmhouses and beach homes that capture the essence of Sussex Couty in days gone by”.
Anita Peghini-Raber – She has made Rehoboth her home. Naturalistic Expressionism is her medium.
Rebecca Raubacher is the co-owner of the Rebecca Gallery in downtown Dover, Delaware. She works from her own sketches, never from photographs. More info? Then, visit www.raubachergallery.com.
Have a great day!! Talk to you later….

Baking is not my strength. I love easy desserts; no fuss. When I found this cranberry and apple cake recipe I thought I could make it my own easily.
Credit has to be given to the Barefoot Contessa. Her recipes are very easy to follow. Due to dietary restrictions in my family I made this recipe gluten free and reduced the sugar by half. To tell you the truth if I had put all that sugar, I think it would have been too sweet.
Instead of flour I used Pamela’s Baking & Pancake Mix. All natural and gluten free. I get it at the supermarket. It is a baking mix used for waffles, cookies, crepes, muffins, pancakes…etc. I thought, why not for the topping? Guess what? It worked!
If you do not have dietary restrictions, then use all purpose flour.
Cranberry and Apple Cake
12 ounces fresh canberries
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored, and sliced
1/4 cup light brown sugar (I used Splenda blend)
1 tablespoon grated orange zest (2 oranges)
1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1 1/8 teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1/2 cup plus 1/2 tablespoon granulated sugar (I used Splenda blend)
1/4 pound (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (I used gluten free)
1/4 cup sour cream
1 cup flour, either gluten free for dietary restrictions or all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
You won’t believe how easy this recipe is. First preheat your oven to 325 degrees.
In a bowl, combine cranberries, apple, brown sugar, orange zest, orange juice and 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon. Set aside.
Then, use an electric mixer and beat on medium-high speed the eggs for about 2 minutes. Just on medium speed, add the sugar, butter, vanilla, and sour cream and beat until just mixed. On the lowest speed, slowly add the flour and salt.
Pour the fruit mixture evenly into a 10 inch glass pie plate. My pie plate was a deep dish plate. Pour batter over the fruit, covering it completely. The batter will be somewhat thick so spread it with a knife or spatula.
Combine the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of granulated sugar and 1/8 teaspoon of cinnamon and sprinkle it over the batter.
Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, until you test it by inserting a toothpick or a knife, like I do, and it comes out clean. The fruit should be blubbling around the edges, as well.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Just by itself, with ice cream or accompanied by some good cheese, this recipe is a keeper!!
Enjoy!!….talk to you later….
