Had to go and check what Leo was cooking at Modern Mixture. He has been posting eye catching soups and salads on Facebook. It is that time of the year, as Leo said, when we want something a little lighter. Everyone is trying to get in shape for the warmer months, if they ever get here.
Jody and I stopped by and we noticed more tables, more art, an extra bathroom, and the ever smiling Leo…cooking and talking to customers explaining the dishes of the day; a little cayenne here or a jalapeno there.
Modern Mixture is located at 62A Rehoboth Avenue in Downtown Rehoboth Beach, on the ocean block. They open every day at 8 a.m. until 9 p.m. for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Great coffee, as well. Tel. 302-227-0600. Website? http://www.modern-mixture.com. You can also find Modern Mixture on Facebook.
Leo is the type of chef that even though he has a set menu; he is not afraid to improvise to give customers what they want. Any allergy issues? He is happy to help you with that, as well.
His cuisine is a fusion of Latin, Mediterranean, and American. His homemade tamales are to die for. If that is what you have in mind, call him up to make sure he has them on that particular day.
I decided to go with Leo’s suggestions, because he said they were summer body ready dishes…haha.
A smoothie of kale, pineapple, and just about 2 ounces or so of cherry juice was going to be my drink. So good and refreshing…just 3 ingredients.
Okay…his Lentil Soup was a large bowl. It was made with a reduction of black beans and portabella mushrooms. Truly delicious; well season and light. It really was.
Leo called this salad his “Cool Summer Body Chopped Salad”. It is not even on the menu yet. Very chopped lettuce, then a mango salad of mango, red pepper, cucumber, onion, scallions, sea salt, and cayenne pepper. The dressing was so light and refreshing….only lime juice and cayenne pepper!!
Modern Mixture will be at Roady’s Cinco de Mayo 5K Run/Walk on Saturday, May 4th at 9 a.m. Rain or Shine! Registration begins at 8 a.m. with the race starting at 9 a.m. This race and event production is presented by Seashore Striders.

Have a good day!!

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.
 Turducken, 2011 If you are visiting Rehoboth Beach, or decided that this year you are going on strike and not cooking, then, check out the restaurants that will be open on Thanksgiving Day. Please call them for verification. You never know what could change unexpectedly.

This organization, Seashore Strider Running Club started in 1988. It pretty much serves Rehoboth Beach and Lewes, Delaware. Because we are in a resort community, for visitors from Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and beyond Seashore Strider Running Club offers its activities to all of our visitors that share a common interest in running and fitness.
Please check their website and most of all their calendar. They offer so many running events throughout the year. You might want to come to the beach just to participate in one of them.
Getting back to the “coolest” event of the year in more ways than one I can tell you that I don’t know if I could jump in. You see, my ideal water temperature in more like 75 degrees. Last year there were 2,683 Bears that plunged in water temperatures of 42 degrees. The air temperature was 48 degrees. And over $500,000 were raised for Special Olympics Delaware.
 No Polar Bear Plunging in the warm waters of Delray Beach, Florida For all the festivities concerning the Polar Bear Plunge please go to http://www.plungede.org. This event is actually called the Lewes Polar Bear Plunge. It is just that they plunge in Rehoboth Beach. This year they are celebrating 20 years and they will keep plunging away as long as all of us participate.
The official Lewes Polar Bear Plunge will be Sunday, February 6th at 1 p.m. but on Saturday, February 5th from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. is the Polar Bear Cake Off. This particular event will take place at the Rehoboth Beach Convention Center right in town. Again, I urge you to visit the website to get all the particulars. It sounds like it will be a lot of fun plus it is free and the spectators will be able to vote for their choice of Best Polar Bear Cake. Cake Boss: Next Great Baker contestants are coming to Rehoboth to plunge. I am telling you, check the website.
All of it is for a great cause, Special Olympics Delaware. They have been changing the lives of people with intelectual disabilities. “Through sports training and competition in 20 sports, over 3,500 athletes with intellectual disabilities have proven that, given the chance, no disability is too great to overcome.” For more information on Special Olympics Delaware, their history, how you can help, please visit www.sode.org.

Note: Money raise from the Lewes Polar Bear Plunge has made such a dramatic difference. They have tripled the number of athletes in the past 7 years from 1,100 to 3,500. From 9 events to 35 events.
There are 17 states the hold Polar Bear Plunges to benefit their own programs. Delaware’s Plunge remains one of the most successful.
