Hello there. It is Saturday, January 9th. Life continues as it should and here in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, we continue to experience great food even through a pandemic.
The Rehoboth Foodie, our local celebrity when it comes to restaurant reviews has a weekly radio show on 92.7 FM where he invites guests and have a one on one chat. I was honored to have been invited for today’s show. It will take place at 2 p.m. If you are a local then you can tune in but you can also stream it on http://www.wgmd.com.
My talk with Bob included the traditions of my Puertorican heritage. It was Three Kings Day or the Epiphany when we taped so I was able to bring him some pasteles, fried plantains, mojito, arroz con gandules (pigeon peas) and Puertorican famous Coquito which the eggnog.
It was a lot of fun and I got to know Bob better and experience his sense of humor.
Also on the radio show you will hear from SoDel Concepts’ Corporate Pastry Chef Dru Tevis and Baywood’s Head Pastry Chef Ellie Keck for a behind-the scenes peek at how they keep 12 restaurants in fresh, new desserts.
Have a beautiful day. It is chilly in Southern Delaware but the sun is out!!

The book, Dewey Beach History & Tales, is just that, the history and the tales of a town and its residents. The people responsible for this book did not want to lose all the information; they compiled the book with photographs. It is very interesting. If you love Dewey, you will really enjoy this book.
Dewey’s slogan is; “Dewey Beach, A Way of Life”. But, at the turn of the century it was mostly known for its Rural Way of Life. The people that came to Dewey to live, farmed the land or lived the rural lifestyle.
My husband was telling me that he had vacationed in Dewey probably 59 years ago. First, his family would have to take the ferry across the Chesapeake Bay. At that time, in Dewey, there were small dunes and cottages in between them. They would have to go to the center of the town, near the Bottle & Cork, to a central well in order to get water.
How times have changed. Dewey has the advantage of having the Bay on one side and the Atlantic Ocean on the other. It is the perfect playground for the young, the matured, and the young at heart. And it is the source of inspiration for artists and photographers.
Saturday, May 12th, the Dewey Arts Fest will be held from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. on the Bay at Dagsworthy Ave. It is a free event, sponsored by Dewey Business Partnership.
The event is expecting plenty of juried artists and crafters to display jewelry, painting, glasswork, quilting, woodwork, photography and mixed media.
The Dewey Arts Fest will also have face painting, balloons, food, music, raffles, giveaways and an art-themed kids’ moon bounce.
A Magic Show? You bet. At 12:30 p.m. and again at 2:30 p.m.
After the festival, community group, Friends of Dewey, will host Wine and Waves, an all-ages bonfire, from 4:30 to 9 p.m., on the beach, at Dagsworthy Ave. The event features a Bring Your Own Bottle wine tasting.
Dagsworthy Ave. bayside will be closed to traffic from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. on Saturday. The parking restrictions will begin tonight, Friday. Free parking is available throughout Dewey.
I don’t think it is going to rain. But, just in case, the rain date would be on Sunday, May 13th.
They are hoping this event marks the beginning of many in the years to come. For more info., please visit www.deweybusinesspartnership.com.
Have a great time!!

I has been a pretty nice week in Delray even though we had some rain. The water has been so blue and so clear; transparent. I don’t know how many people are going to be sitting on the beach this week-end. Delray Beach has one of its big festivals starting Friday through Sunday. This town is amazing in organizing itself for such big events. So, here is what’s happening in town.

The Garlic Fest celebrates garlic, cooking, music, art and so much more. It will begin on North Swinton Ave. and the grounds of the Historical Old School Square.

The musician that I am interested in watching is Buddy Guy. He will be performing from 8:30 until 10:00 p.m. on Saturday evening. He is an American blues guitarist and singer; a pioneer of the Chicago blues sound. He has been inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Thank God it did not start raining until mid morning. I wanted to go by the Green Market. This is an open air market located at SE 4th Ave., 1/2 block south of Atlantic Avenue. You cannot miss it. I had been to the Green Market in the past but had not taken any pictures.
This Green Market is very similar to the Farmers’ Markets that take place during the summer months in the Delaware and Maryland beaches. It is going back to the basics; buy local and eat fresh.
The Green Market was started in 1996 by the Community Redevelopment Agency. This is now their 15th season; their second edition of the Greenmarket Cookbook is now on sale. It is $14.95 plus $3.00 shipping and handling. Call Lori at 561-276-7511 to reserve your copy. You may also want to stop by the CRA office on 20 N Swinton Ave. and pick one up.
The Green Market is every Saturday from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m. Do you need more info. or are interested in being a vendor? Then call Lori at 561-276-7511 or e-mail greenmarket@delraycra.org.
It was so nice to stroll up and down the street just checking everything out.
The first vendor I saw was selling seafood. Immediately the jumbo lump crabmeat got my eye. Of course, I ended up buying a pound. Actually, it was cheaper than at home. This vendor also had gorgeous stonecrab claws.
People were buying; I watched them interact with the vendors.
Between the music playing, the food cooking, the warm weather and a soft breeze, I think I caught myself smiling throughout my strolling.
Hey, you will get the chance to visit the Green Market if you are in Delray Beach every Saturday until the end of May.
Note: On Friday, 12/24, Christmas Eve, the Green Market will be open from 8 a.m. until 10 a.m., just so their loyal customers can pick up last minute items. There will be no street closing so all you have to do is pull up and buy your goodies.
