So many visitors come to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, year round. Rehoboth was incorporated in 1873 to create a Christian seaside resort. The railroad was extended in 1878 to Rehoboth Beach, therefore, bringing more visitors and businesses to this seaside town. In 1879 the town was renamed “The Rehoboth Beach Association”. The population has grown over the years. Plenty of summer visitors and part time residents increase the population significantly .
During Christmas I love grabbing something to eat in town with a friend….come to think of it I just did that with my friend, Jody. Stopping at Dogfish Head on Rehoboth Avenue for one of my favorite salads….their pub salad topped with grilled salmon and a delicious dressing is not to be missed. It looks good and it tasted even better.
If you decided to visit Rehoboth Beach during the Holidays you will find the town looking more beautiful than ever. Tiny lights cover the trees in town. The Boardwalk is a mile long. It was quiet when Jody and I were walking, no one around.
The big iconic Dolle’s sign remind visitors that you are at the beach!!

My Thanksgiving Turducken arrived today. Some years it comes for Christmas…I am glad it came early. I have been getting turduckens for years. I have also tried different companies. My favorite is from a company in Louisiana called Cajun Grocer. They have them available online at http://www.cajungrocer.com.
A turducken is a partially deboned turkey, stuffed with chicken and duck. In between the layers, you will be surprised to find stuffing; different choices for you to pick from. All are on the website. Having someone in my family that needs to eat gluten free, I decided to call them. This year their gluten free turducken is the one with a stuffing of Cajun style veggies; onions, bell peppers and Cajun seasonings.
Turducken, 2011
The idea is that as once you cut the turducken, you will be able to have a taste of the 3 meats, plus the stuffing. The turducken is so good, easy to prepare and, definitely, a conversation piece.
