The Seven Year Itch

...is actually a rash.

Jaclyn and I celebrate our 7th anniversary today and after a wonderful stay in Rehoboth Beach, DE it's off to the Poconos for a few days.

Last night we attended a beer dinner at Dogfish Head Brewing. When Sam Calagione (founder, owner and all-around personable guy) heard we came all the way from Texas just for his dinner (and we were celebrating our anniversary) we were presented with a bottle of 2006 Raison D'Extra. Many a beer mortal may be thinking "big woop" but understand this is equal to a vintner going into his private reserve and presenting you with one of his best bottles of wine. Except this is beer, which is infintely  better.

The dinner, a Caribbean theme, was wonderful, Chef Marcel came up with some very nice courses including a whole roasted pig which was juicy and tasty; absolutely phenomenal. Chef Marcel attributed his success with the pig to the fine folks at JT Pappy's sauces, who were in attendance. I was able to sample one of their sauces and by gosh it was just wonderful. The flavor is amazing. I urge anyone reading to order up a few bottles - especially since it does not contain high fructose corn syrup or any other crap that's not healthy. Fat Free; Low Carb and All Natural - it's what you need to know! The folks at JT Pappy's gave us a bottle of sauce and I cannot wait to get home and smoke a pork loin.

All in all, a very nice time was had in Rehoboth Beach (even though it rained most of the time). I was able to surprise Jaclyn by arranging to have chocolate covered strawberries waiting in our room when we arrived and in addition, she got to spend some time being pampered in the hotel spa. Consequently, she allowed me to purchase a giant metal Dogfish Head sign (picture to follow once I return home).
