Before I was married, became a mother and decided to be a stay-at-home mom, I lived in Baltimore, Maryland. I worked in Baltimore and then on Wednesday of Thanksgiving I would drive to Orlean, Virginia, to my boyfriend’s family farm house. He then became my husband, John. My mother in law, Louise, is a great cook and she would go all out Wednesday and Thanksgiving Day. Feeling totally satisfied and comatosed I dreaded the late in the day drive to Baltimore. Work was waiting on Friday. They really should give Friday off to everyone. A long week-end of Thanksgiving. Most of us have a lot to be thankful for.
I love an overcast day on Thanksgiving. I like it cold, as well. So, even though I enjoy the swaying palm trees of warmer climates, on Thanksgiving and Christmas, my preference is the chill in the air that the Atlantic Coast usually offers.
The Delaware Beaches are open for business. The following are restaurants in Rehoboth Beach, Lewes, Georgetown, and Milford that will have Thanksgiving fare. This list is probably not complete. I will update it as I find other restaurants, but in the meantime, it might help if you are coming to the beaches to start a new Thansgiving tradition.
Please note that the following restaurants will be open all week-end long!!

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.
