Fire & Ice, Hot Wing Tasting, Ice Cream Tasting, Polar Bear Plunge, Special Olympics Delaware, Rehoboth Beach, Delaware Beaches, I have Died and Gone to Heaven

• 

An annual event for many years The Polar Bear Plunge Weekend has been raising funds for Special Olympics Delaware. So many people come to Rehoboth Beach because what else are you going to do the first week in February?

I got a call from our local celebrity, The Rehoboth Foodie, wondering if I could take his place judging the wings and ice cream event. Is the Pope Catholic? Of course, I was honored.

I have an idea how my wings should look and taste. I was so excited.

The event was at The Atlantic Sands Hotel on Baltimore Ave. And these were your Judges?

• 

Left to right was Kathy, the Rehoboth Foodie’s sister, yours truly, Pam George, writer, editor and food blogger, and Steve, her husband.

Wing enthusiasts will be celebrating Super Bowl Sunday eating away chicken wings prepared in many different ways. It has been stated that about 1 billion wings will be enjoyed on that day.?

Prior to the public coming in we went through the different tables tasting. We had to judge based on Appearance, Texture/Tenderness, Taste. For the ice, same except no tenderness ?

• 

• 

My first stop was Zogg’s. They are located on 1 Wilmington Ave.

• 

• 

I loved everything about them. They hit all the boxes in such an amazing way.

Next tasting was Tiki Jac’s. They are located at 71 Rehoboth Ave. These wings looked beautiful. Smoked with a rum glaze. I would have preferred them more crispy.

• 

• 

I was told that when you are cooking wings for the amount of guests coming in…….1,500 expected the sauces or glazes poured over tend to soften the skin.

Let’s try an ice cream to clean the palate. Woodside Creamery had a delicious ice cream. They are located in Hockessin and everything is made from scratch. The only place you can get their ice cream in Rehoboth Beach is at The Ice Cream Store. It hit all the boxes.

You start eating and yummy it is and then that green caramel explodes in your mouth.

• 

A stop to Fish On was next.

• 

Their wings looked great.

• 

• 

Usually when you order wings they bring you a blue cheese sauce for dipping. A sprinkle of blue cheese gave them a great kick.

• 

Iron Hill Brewery had another great presentation but I still think they needed to be crispier. Iron Hill is located at 19815 Coastal Highway.

• 

Kara’s Sugar Kitchen. Soft almost like a custard.

• 

• 

Ladies I love your photo?? I apologize because while enjoying my ice cream I forgot to take a photo. The crisp complemented the ice cream so well.

Kara’s Sugar Kitchen is on Social Media.

Kiwi’s Kove had a blend of spices giving them a little heat. They are located at 101 N. Boardwalk

• 

• 

The doors opened and I could see the people were ready. It was so much fun and for a very good cause with funds staying in Delaware.

• 

Our job was complete but not before telling Kathy that it was a pleasure to have met her.

Until then. Please remember that AboutMyBeaches is on Instagram and Facebook.

Doggies At The Beach, Day Care, Over Nite Care, Cage Free, No Kennels, 3 Doggie Cams, Spa Grooming, Training, Discount Vaccination Day, Saturday, January 19th,…Pooch Plunge for Special Olympics Delaware!!!, Rehoboth Beach, Delaware Beaches

Blogs are considered diaries in many respects.  With that in mind, I took my “rescued” Heinz 57, Addy, for a much needed day of grooming.  I have posted plenty of times about Doggies At the Beach, located at on Rt. 24 at the Family Dollar Plaza, off of Rt. 1 (Coastal Highway).  Tel. 302-644-8200.  Website?  http://www.doggiesatthebeach.com.

Doggies At the Beach is the premier dog boarding facility in Rehoboth Beach.  Climate control, playing time and plenty of attention for that pooch in your life.  This is the only place I have left Addy.  The dogs have a great time.  I had to laugh because when I took these pictures, the Bassett Hound, would not get up.  He just wagged his tail.  Finally, he came out, hoping no other dog would take his spot.

The new grooming facility is so nice.  It is not just for dogs; cats are also able to come for some grooming, as well.  Bright colors!!  That’s where I met Teri.  She is letting the public know what’s going on at Doggies At The Beach.  Nice chatting with you Teri.  And, thanks for the tour.

The actual groom room is also full of pinks and purples.  There is even a ramp for easy climbing for larger dogs.

On Saturday, January 19th from 9 a.m. until 11 a.m there will be a Discount Vaccination Day.  Doggies At The Beach holds monthly vaccination clinics.  The difference, this time, is that it will 100% benefit the Georgetown SPCA.  Vaccinations are administered by a licensed Vet.  It will be held at Doggies At The Beach located at 18806 John J. Williams Highway (Rt. 24 for both dogs and kitties.  Please have your kitties in a crate.  First come; first serve.

New training classes by their new training partner; a certified professional trainer.  Puppy Preschool, Puppy Kindergarten, Good Manners 101.  You need to register and pay to hold a spot.  The class size is restricted to 5 only, so your intense training will be a great value.  More info?  Please call 302-644-8200.

The 2013 Week-End Festival of the Lewes Polar Bear Plunge, which takes place on February 1 through the 3rd will bring new Plungers into the scene.  It is the first time the festival will be holding the Pooch Plunge on February 2nd from 11 a.m. until Noon, starting on the Boardwalk at Rehoboth Avenue.  All for Special Olympics Delaware!!  Doggies At The Beach is participating in this event!!

Registration Fee is $25.  Pooch receives:  Event bandanna, imprinted portable water bowl, and post event refreshments!!  But, if you donate $250, your pooch would get an embroidered SoggyDog Towel.  Please register at http://www.plungede.org.

I brought Addy home, she got comfortable in her new Doggie Lounger.  If you have not met her, here she is.

Have a great day!
