Solomon’s, Maryland
During our two week stay at Zahniser’s Yacht Centre (while undergoing repairs to Xcelsior) we took advantage of having land under our feet. Miles and miles we walked the streets of Calvert County. Passing Ted’s favorite sign daily, sometimes up to three times. “God Bless Ya’ll …. Real Good”.
Our first weekend, we met a number of interesting, good people. Zahniser’s had there final event of the year “11th Annual ZYC Chili Cook-Off. There were something like 18 entries; we are got a small sample with numbered cups. Voting four categories: Boater’s Choice: Tastiest Overall, Ken won this category. In the past he’s had the Fishing for Compliments: Needs Help. Therefore when his chili wasn’t chosen for the Needs Help Ken didn’t think he had a chance at any other. So it was quite a surprise. Z’s Legal Lip Remover: Spiciest but Good had a three way tie, and in order to eliminate candidates they looked at who had the most Needs Help and/or Not Your Everyday Chili: Most Unique. Ted took this judging very serious and engineered a judging sheet up. My mistake was tasting the hottest sample first (not knowing I was doing that of course). The tongue burned so bad that I couldn’t taste anything after that one mouthful.
The Calvert Connection bus transit system for 50 cents each took us south over the bridge to St. Leonard’s for shopping. Every shopping outlet you could dream of within a three maybe four block radius. Then return trip was longer as it would take us to California, Hollywood, Oakville and Wildwood before heading back to Solomon’s.
