A full plate is becoming a thing of the past. Eating tapas style is a more adventurous and delightful way of sharing a meal with friends. And, that’s exactly what Sharon, Richard and I did on Wednesday evening at Shorebreak Lodge, located at 10 Wilmington Avenue in Downtown Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. Tel. 302-227-1007 Website? http://www.shorebreaklodge.com
Glad I made reservations, because, my new go to restaurant was so crowded. Great drink specials, lively atmosphere, close to the Boardwalk…and excellent service, as well.
Our stimulating dinner conversation had us laughing, practically, all night.
Shorebreak Lodge is offering a very eclectic menu. There is something for everyone, even for some of us that like to try dishes that are considered je ne sais quoi.
For the table:
Burrata Mozzarella with Butternut N Figs. Burrata is from the Italian region of Puglia. It has a milky flavor and several textures, as well. The outer layer is spongy but, inside, it is creamy and also very spreadable. Great with crusty bread. This dish is awesome!! Totally recommend it.
Shrimp N Grits with Chorizo, Tomato and Anise Sauce. Love it when grits have a smooth consistency and are full of flavor.
Brussel Sprouts, Bacon & Dried Figs….combining cabbage flavor, the saltiness of bacon and the sweetness of figs. Yum!
Roasted Butternut Squash, just a simple dish to add to our grazing.
Rehoboth Beach is a culinary destination….so many restaurants, so many chefs outdoing each other in friendly competition.
Have a great a week-end!!

The window caught our attention as Jody and I strolled the Avenue…we were in Downtown Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. This store is quite big and it is full of fun stuff for the whole family.
It is called M Squared, located at 146 Rehoboth Avenue, Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971 Tel. 302-227-6626. Website? http://www.m2rehoboth.com.
Stop by because they have great prices. I love accessories and their earrings are all $12!!!
Open their website for online shopping. All the above earrings and others are all on the website.
I have friends that just had twins. I thought these were great.
And for the newlyweds, I thought this was a clever idea. Leave them your best wishes in a personal note.
The stores in Downtown Rehoboth Beach are getting ready for Summer 2014!!
Have a good one!!

I could not read Zach’s face when Jody and I made another appearance at Morgan & Gower, located at 20 Baltimore Avenue in Downtown Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. He probably thought, OMG, they are back!! Not only were we back but it was on a Friday, when National Cheese Day was being celebrated.
We were armed with our cheese reference book. I keep it with me all the time. Never know when an urge to buy cheese will surface. It is the perfect record to keep. I never used to remember what cheese I bought or liked. Not anymore.
Enjoying an indulgence from time to time. Cheeses are expensive, but a little goes a long way. Cultures, milk, imports, refrigeration and most of all, the aging process…over 2 years, at times, send those prices up.
Jody and I are expanding our cheese buying techniques, and Zach, from Morgan & Gower, has been a big help. He has taken the time to introduce us to a wide range of cheeses. Some have more bite to them; others a bit milder.
The first time I was at Morgan & Gower I bought a couple of cheeses. They turned out to be amazing. I wanted some more of the same and a few other additional ones, as well.
Zach came out with one of my favorites…the Beemster XO. This gouda from Holland is aged over 26 months. So delicious.
I think Zach thought I would not like Nettlesome. This cheese is from New Jersey. It also has stinging nettles. It is strong and has a great bite to it. Stinging nettles is a curious plant. If you had ever brush against it, you’ll know why it is called “stinging”. The plant also has plenty of health benefits.
Barber’s 1833 is a Reserved Cheddar, aged for a minimum of 2 years, from England. When I brought it home, it became a favorite.
I had to buy it again…Midnight Moon. Tops…this cheese is from California. It is a popular goat’s milk gouda, firm, dense and smooth.
Trioche…from New Jersey. This cheese is made from cow, goat and sheep. So smooth. Liked it very much and will buy it again.
I will be buying Gjetost, aka Geitost again. – The color was a deep caramel; a sweet, dense, fudgey, caramel goat cheese. It really looked like a piece of caramel. I am not sure if Zach thought Jody and I would like it. I loved it and so did everyone in my family. This cheese is very popular in Europe. We tried it for dessert; perfect with a tart apple. Sorry….I don’t know what happened with my picture. Have Zach show it to you when visiting Morgan & Gower. He will give you a little taste.
New at Morgan & Gower, starting today, Saturday, 4/20, a Grilled Cheese Sandwich Bar! They will be having a limited menu of 5 simple choices. More to be added later on. Take out only, with no substitutions. You can check the menu on their facebook page.
Morgan & Gower Cheesemongers opens Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. until 6 p.m. Sunday, from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. Tel. 302-727-5566.
Have a great week-end!!
