EVERY Backyard Needs These!
Spring is here…summer is right around the corner….and, in my humble opinion, every yard needs Cornhole. And, if you’re going to have a set, why not have a set cooler than your neighbors’?
Really, if you’re being honest, the only question to ask yourself is, “Exactly what do I want painted on mine?”
Should you go with the Team Spirit vibe, school colors, favorite vacation spot, favorite band, monogrammed as a wedding or anniversary gift, totally custom and off the chart? There’s absolutely a blank slate (or two) calling your name!
I recently ordered a set of Dan’s Custom Cornhole Creations with our school logo painted on them. First of all, they were done so quickly….secondly, they’re awesome. They are going to be such a perfect addition to campus for both the students and the faculty/staff alike. Friday afternoon Faculty Fun will surely be centered around some friendly games of cornhole in the very near future!
If you own a company and have a logo, you need these. If you, say…for example…run a pretty successful blog and have oh, I don’t know maybe a seagull for a logo, you need these. Just saying.
If you are looking for a Father’s Day gift, a house warming gift, or a birthday gift…here you go. If you have a friend with a sweet yard and want to ensure you score a few invites over the course of the summer, you might want to consider ordering him/her a set. The possibilities are endless, the beers are cold, the bean bags are waiting to be tossed. Make the call.
Check out Dan’s Custom Cornhole Creations at his Facebook page HERE
If you’re not on Facebook, absolutely email Dan at dlmerriam1115@gmail.com

ARE FISHCAKES OBSOLETE #11 FROM AL BEZANSON
Coddies
From my sailing mate Jay Irwin … “When I was a kid in Baltimore in the early days of WW2 my grandparents had a little corner grocery that sold coddies. I think they were three cents. Every day the coddie truck delivered a tray and set it on the counter. A dish of yellow mustard and a stick to spread it sat on the tray. A towel was draped over to keep the flies off. Our store sold saltines to go along with the coddies. During Lent the Sisters of Mercy for the Poor and our Lutheran church both did a brisk business selling coddies made by volunteers.”
From Julie Rothman, for The Baltimore Sun…….Baltimore coddies, not to be confused with codfish cakes, are hand-formed, slightly flattened potato cakes flavored with salt cod and other seasonings and then deep-fried. They are traditionally served at room temperature, sandwiched between two saltine crackers with a dollop of yellow mustard. Sometimes referred to as the poor man’s crab cake, this uniquely Baltimore food could be found at neighborhood soda fountains and delis all over town beginning in early 1920s.
As local historian Gilbert Sandler recounts in his book “Glimpses of Jewish Baltimore,” “The coddie’s origins are vague, but the way the descendants of the Louis Cohen family tell the story, it was grandfather Louis Cohen’s wife, Fannie Jacobson Cohen, who created the coddie as we know it.” Sandler further explains that according to Louis Cohen’s granddaughter, Elaine Cohen Alpert, her grandparents were just barely earning a living from the small stall they ran in the old Belair Market where they sold sandwiches, cookies, and candy. They were searching for a new product, something no one else would have, to attract new customers and set them apart.
Not long after, the Baltimore coddie was born. The Cohens sold the first coddies at their stall inside the market for 5 cents each. Word spread before long, and the coddies became extremely popular — so much so that the Cohen family opened a small manufacturing plant and were the first to mass-produce and market the product. From the 1920s to the early 1970s, Cohen’s Coddie trucks were delivering the coddies all over Baltimore.
