Four Day Get Away
« on: March 22, 2017, 03:19:05 AM »
My wife and I and another couple rented a cottage along the Indian River Inlet, Rehoboth Beach, DE last weekend. What a great thyme we had! I cannot say enough how this place just chills me out! Total relaxation, cooking, eating, drinking, camaraderie, drinking, napping, drinking, eating, did I mention drinking? We do this twice a year, once in the spring, once in the fall.

Here's what we suffer thru:





Here's PART of the lineup:



Our traditional first night dinner is always scallops and leeks over a bed of linguine. I did not get any shots of that, butt I did get shots of the breakfast afterwards... scallop and linguine frittata:





And RedHead took the ride with us with her new bling:



Snack thyme... mussels and sausage in a white wine sauce:





In between naps, we did this:



More snacks:



One night we had NY strip steaks, seasoned with salt and pepper, bagged with a pad of butter on each steak, which I SV'd for 4 hours @ 134º, then onto RedHead for the sear. Served up with hasselback taters, shrooms, and stinky pee sticks:



And of course, breakfast happened the next morning with the leftovers:



Our last night there, we had crab cakes and Caesar salad:



And somewhere along the way, our friend Anita came up with some artwork:



Fishing sucked at best. The water temps were way too cold, windy, no fish in sight. We saw only two boats drift by the 4 days we were there, and only one other fisherman on the rocks out front. Butt oh well... next thyme. We're booked again in October, so that should provide better fishing conditions.

Thanks for looking!

Wow, all the food looks awesome.  Were the mussels and sausage done on the grill?

Nope, they were done stove top in a pot. The sausage was sliced and fried in a skillet, then everything went into the pot.

Thanks for the kind words guys!

Looks like a great time with great food.  I love the Delaware shore.  My family has a place in Fenwick so we're down there frequently.

Do you fish from the shoreline of the inlet?

Yes I do... too bad the water temps were too cold. And yes, I love the DE shore!  8)

Seems like a great get away, I'd love to be somewhere like that right now!
I'm trying to convince the wife to let me take a weber on vacation with us

Sounds like a good time was had by all. Great pics, I'm envious. Try coming further south like below the Mason/Dixon for some good early fishing!

Each purchase of a weber grill is a very special and rare occasion for me as they are rare to come by around here.

Nothing like a SV'd NY strip seared over RO lump in the kettle... Okay, now I'm hungry again...

The location and your plated  food looks amazing. Your wine bar photo caught my attention.  I counted 18 bottles for 2 couples, 4 days. My kind of kind of group and vacation. We rent a beach house every year with 3 couples. These are the empty wine bottles from one of those weekends. Coincidentally, 18 bottles.  One is a magnum though.
