SHORT RIB RECIPE LINKS
PRODUCT RECOMMENDATION LINKS
- Plastic Jewelry Box Organizer - this is the perfect tool to divide up road trip snacks into convenient portions. We like the adjustable dividers on this box.
- Hydro Flask Coffee Mugs - Bridget loves that they keep her coffee *piping* hot. You can get them at local retailers like Clear Water Outdoor in downtown Lake Geneva, or on Amazon.
- Shady Ray Sunglasses - Bridget helpfully took a picture of Nick talking about these sunglasses while he was talking about them. You can see the picture above, and buy them at this link. Nick likes that they're classically styled, a good quality of construction, and not a ton of money. He wears the Signature Series Blackout Polarized versions.
Everybody's a special episode of Dinner Plus Drinks. Happy Sunday, everybody. Welcome to a very special edition of Dinner Plus Drinks. This is the road trip edition.
SPEAKER_00Yes, I love a good road trip, you guys. We are recording from the car today.
SPEAKER_01And don't worry, this is safe. We have a safe setup.
SPEAKER_00We've got, I'm the passenger, I'm doing all the things. Nick is driving us precious cargo.
SPEAKER_01Usually I just talk to myself while I'm driving or sing along to the radio. So it's not unusual that I'm talking while driving, and so it's totally safe. Don't worry. Yeah, so don't worry about us. Sorry if we start singing randomly. We're fine. But first, we would normally start with opening a bottle of something delicious to drink. And um, that's I'm drinking water.
SPEAKER_00It's not happening today, you guys. Um, we've got I've also got water. I've already chugged a healthy amount of coffee today.
SPEAKER_01What we were discussing that I think is a good discussion for this, is so when you're doing a road trip, you want to stay hydrated, you don't want to dry them out, but also you don't want to have to like pull over every hour. So you want something that's hydrating but not too hydrating. So, is sparkling water insult ins not insult? Insert your favorite brand. Mine's bubbly, some people like LaCroix, other people like, you know, whatever. I'm wrong because bubbly's the best. Do you think sparkling water hydrates as well as still water?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, this is a real question, you guys. I've actually I asked my sister-in-law about this. I ask a lot of people about it, so please let me let us know. Do you think that sparkling water hydrates you to the same level as regular water? I'm dying to know.
SPEAKER_01Personally, I think it does. And I don't think it does. So email in mailbag hello at dinnerplusdrinks.com. Hit up our mailbag. Let us know what you think. We want to know what your experience staying hydrated, sparkling water versus still water.
SPEAKER_00Okay, so I think since this is our road trip version, we should probably talk about our favorite road trips. Mine's meat related, did you know that? Oh, of course it is, but no, tell me about it. Well, you should go first, because now this is a team. Because people have to keep listening a little bit longer. Not meat related. However, if your name is Meg Trotter and you're listening, you will know the road trip I'm talking about. And of course, Shannon, which you better be listening. So I love road trips. Um, always the way there is so fun, and then the way back is like dreadful because you just want to get home and it's not exciting anymore. So uh my sister and I used to have a stick, a manual car. And we learned how to drive that early on. Um, shout out to my parents for educating us in that way. If you've ever tried to teach a friend or anyone to drive stick, God bless you because it is the funniest thing in the world. So we were going on this road trip and we were taking our car because it was a convertible, so we thought, what a great idea for a road trip. Convertible, great. So we had to teach Meg how to drive it because she was our third driver. So we Why do you need three drivers? Well, because we were going to Boston. So, like that far, that's like 18 hours. Listen, we are all rotating, okay? There I have a lot of rules shocking when I take a road trip. Like, you cannot, everyone else in the car cannot be sleeping. So one person sleeps, two people stay awake. That's you have to do that. It's rude otherwise. I know you guys can't see, but Nick's giving me dirty looks. It's like it's not that far. Okay, anyway, we needed three drivers, okay? So we had to teach Meg to drive stick, which like I'm sure she's really great at it now, but so hilarious. Also, taking a convertible on a road trip is the dumbest idea. One, very small. Two, you're driving on a highway most of the time. So it was not awesome at all. And then we finally got to our destination. We're like, great, we'll drive around with the convertible, but we had so much crap that like it didn't fit in the trunk, so the backseat was like a person and a whole bunch of shit. So, anyway, great road trip to Boston. Loved it, that's it.
SPEAKER_01So, my favorite road trip, I wasn't driving, I think I was in middle school. Uh, my lifetime growing up, my vacations, we went to the meat conventions of the year. The meat conventions, the American Association of Meat Processors. Shout out to Chris and the gang out in Elizabethtown, uh, Pennsylvania. Uh, but we would go to wherever it was. You know, sometimes it was someplace cool like San Antonio, Texas, Louisville, Kentucky. Sometimes it's someplace really like Reno, Nevada, and sometimes it was in really lame places like Lancaster, Pennsylvania. That's not lame. I mean, it's also not cool. So it's like the heart of Amish Country, Pennsylvania Dutch, if if you're not aware, it's right next to Hershey, Pennsylvania, which was cool when we got there. Yep. But the reason I liked it, it was my mom, my sister, and my grandma, and myself. And we loaded up in grandma's, you know, 94 Chevy Astro van conversion with the blinds and the captain's chairs. And if you're a 90s kid, you don't need to take one of those Facebook tests. You know. You know, you know. You know, you know. So we loaded up and headed out to Lancaster, and I'm a very big history person, and uh we had planned this trip so that we'd be able to spend half a day at Gettysburg, and it was really cool because I gotta go like play tour guide at Gettysburg. I was in middle school and like walk around this thing, write all these books about, watch the movie. It was very cool, loved it. Yes. And uh then we went to the meat convention, we had a bunch of meat in the back of the car in a freezer that we took to you know, enter the meat product competition. We won. But I just really liked it because we gotta go to Gettysburg and Hershey, Pennsylvania, and tour the chocolate factor and tour the site of the bloodiest day of or bloodiest battle in American history. All the things I love, and win awards for our meat. It was like Nick Heaven. But you were also in a conversion van. So I'll tell the embarrassing part of this. Maybe, you know, mom, if you're listening, I'm sorry. So it's Amish country, and like part of the thing you do in Lancaster is go look at the Amish, which I thought I was a little uncomfortable with. I mean, it's terrible. I mean, so not only are we like slow rolling their dirt roads in a conversion van. In a conversion van, she's leaning out the window with a video camera, taping these people. And I'm in middle school, and you can imagine how deathly embarrassing this is. I'm like, Mom! Mom! Stop!
SPEAKER_00You're embarrassing me. It's amazing. So it was a great road trip. Oh man, we could go on forever about our favorite road trips. I'm sure this one that we're on right now is going to be one of our favorites.
SPEAKER_01It's gonna be the best. But what I want to know is what do you eat on a road trip? Are you like a snacks person? What do you eat? Yeah. How do you my dad? The so my the first thing he taught me when we were driving, because like I drew tractors and stuff, so it was like the whole thing wasn't like a big deal. But get in the car and he teaches me how to drive with your knees while you're eating a hamburger.
SPEAKER_00Oh, I mean, that's an important snack. It's an incredibly important life skill. I agree. Um, okay, also rewind. If you know me at all, you know I'm a snacker. Anybody. You are a snacker. Okay, I I eat easily every hour. I always have snacks in my bag. My friends know that I get what we call sweaty hungry, which is really just when my blood sugar dips. So, always have snacks on hand. So this is totally nerdy, but also awesome now that I have a toddler that also likes to snack. You take those like um fishing tackle boxes, I think that's what it's for. I don't really know. Like, you know, this is genius. Multiple different containers, right? Like little holes. Oh wow. And you put some goldfish in some, you put some MMs in some, I don't know what else. All kinds of little things. No, there's not a bottom. I'm talking like, I don't know if it's actually a fishing container. It's just one level, it's like, I don't know, three inches high.
SPEAKER_01Uh yeah, some of those, but that's also like a lot of like tools and stuff.
SPEAKER_00Like uh, oh yeah, flash, nuts and bolts. Okay, there you go. Obviously, I don't use it for any of those things. I use it for snacks. I do use it for jewelry and I use it for snacks. So that's it, that's what I love. Jewelry and snacks are the same one.
SPEAKER_01And you're like just absolutely like, oh shoot, that is an earring that I just don't eat that.
SPEAKER_00I don't because they're like a dollar, so I can afford to get more than one. I know. Um, so that's a great one. Also, this is totally weird, but when you ask me what my favorite road trip snack is, I'm not lying. I love to eat carrots. Isn't that weird? That's really weird. I know, it's the first thing that like you remind me of, and I think it's because like I love going into a gas station on a road trip and getting all the unhealthy snacks. So like I pack carrots to make myself think at least I'll have a couple healthy bites along all of the crap that I buy at the gas stations.
SPEAKER_01I know beef jerky's the big snack that like gas stations have it everywhere. We sell a ton of it to gas it. I do not like eating beef jerky on a road trip. Why? Because I get like meat sweats. Okay.
SPEAKER_00Also, it smells. Oh god, it stinks. Yeah, Tyler, if you're listening, it smells. Tyler and I have, my husband and I have this argument all the time because like he does like eating it on a road trip, but I obviously hate it because the whole car smells.
SPEAKER_01My favorite thing is cheesecarts. For a road trip? Oh yeah. But you've got to have a cooler to keep it cold. No, not to fried ones.
SPEAKER_00Oh, fried ones.
SPEAKER_01You know, so it's the great thing about culvers is that they've taken over the world basically. Yeah. So you just you plan your road trip around culverts. Culvers. And so, okay, maybe we're taking a slight 20-minute detour, but I got another bag of cheese curts. But it's worth it. Quick trip, they have cheesecarts now.
SPEAKER_00Quick trip has is um top-notch gas station right there for all the right snacks. Okay.
SPEAKER_01That's I know it's untraditional, I know it's hot, so I don't know if that's a snack, but I view it as a snack.
SPEAKER_00Okay, last one, red vines. Are you a red vines or twizzlers, guys?
SPEAKER_01I I am down with the twiz.
SPEAKER_00What? I mean I love both reds. I travel with the twiz. Oh, come on. Do you make it a straw in your drink?
SPEAKER_01No, because I don't like that flavor. I I'm not gonna like judge people that do that. I get why people like it, but I do not.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I'm with you actually, and then it gets slimy, but I'm a red vines person, so yet another thing we don't agree on. Let us know. Do you like Twizzlers or Red Vines person?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, if you're over here, we want to hear your road trip snacks. Uh, Bridget, that was, I'll give you credit, that was a genius tip to do the like tackle box, jewelry box, whatever box thing.
SPEAKER_00That's genius. Yeah, and like I swore when I had kids I wouldn't let them eat in the car. Obviously, that was stupid. I let them eat in the car, and so this is like a a way to kind of try and control the chaos.
SPEAKER_01You should definitely, definitely write in with what your tricks are because I need more of these.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, as as Mona gets older. So, okay, guys, we're we've eaten our way through a road trip, so now we're looking forward to the meal plan. Real food when we get back from the road trip. The meal plan for the week. So um, I have been trying to eat more like healthy seafood, okay? I I've been a little scared to cook it at home. So I am trying the salmon this week. So we're featuring a honey apple maple glaze salmon. So that's really good. I mean, I haven't made it obviously yet, but that's the one I'm gonna give a try this week. It it like the glaze sounds amazing, right? Who doesn't love all the sugar on top of the fish? So, yeah, so I'm gonna give that a shout out. That's my favorite. Uh, that's what I'm looking forward to making as part of our meal plan this week. What are you looking forward to?
SPEAKER_01I forgot I did this recipe and I forgot how much I like it, but it is a barbecue chicken tender. Oh, yeah. And everybody thinks of chicken tenders as the deep-fried, amorphous, whatever chicken thing. But which is also great. They're great, they're great, but you know, not dinner every day. Yeah. Um, but there's actually a chicken tender muscle, it's that little part of the chicken breast on the underside that we sell uh fresh, not coated anything. And yes, you can spread them and fry them, and they're delicious. But this recipe used to a quick marinade and barbecue scu sauce, just toss them in there, use whatever sauce you like, fry them, grill them. I think it's a grilled recipe, is the way I wrote it. Um, but it's hot out, or it's not hot out, it's cold outside, it's warmer inside, so just under a broiler in a pan, it's so quick, it's so easy. Um, your kids are gonna love it because it's chicken tenders with sweet barbecue sauce on it that's kind of glazed from the high heat. You'll love it because it's healthy, it's quick, it's easy to clean up. Um, if you want to take this next level and be unhealthy, um do a breading, but instead of doing like uh an egg wash coat, do barbecue wash and then roll it in the breadcrumbs or whatever. And so you get like really good. And then seeds your breadcrumbs or some barbecue stuff too. That's not in the recipe. Check out the recipe. That's a pro tip. It's easy, it's delicious, and then I think um like we all love tendies, right?
SPEAKER_00So make some extra and then save them for like a lunchtime salad. Yeah, that's what we do a lot. Yeah, we anytime we have extra chicken, like we purposely make additional amounts so we can chop it up and put it on our salad for lunches throughout the week. So there you go. Um, we're gonna take a little break and share some of our favorite products with you. Alright, we're back, and I have a product recommendation that is fitting for a road trip. I love my beverages to stay hot, and I mean hot. So if you have ever had coffee on a road trip, it gets cold in like five minutes. So I got an awesome gift for Christmas, um, a Hydro Flask coffee mug. So it actually has the handle, so it feels like you're drinking out of like a coffee mug at home, which is another thing I really like. I don't really like drinking out of paper coffee cups. I know it's a weird coffee snob thing. So now I've got a hydro flask. You can get your own at Clearwater Outdoor downtown Lake Geneva. Um, we have so many hydro flasks at our house, keeps every product either ice cold or super hot. And I stick stickers all over them. My son has his, thinks it's fun to stick stickers all over his. So shout out to the Hydro Flask cup with the actual handle so it feels like you're drinking out of a real coffee cup while you're on your road trip. I prefer the wine glass version of it. That's what we have.
SPEAKER_01Not for a road trip though. Not for a road trip, but when you get to your destination. My product recommendation, also road trip themed. I had a different one, but I'm annoyed right now, so I'm switching it up. It is kind of overcast, but also kind of sunny. It's one of those days where you don't know if you should wear sunglasses or not. And I have some really nice sunglasses right now that I want to tell you I would highly recommend. I'm normally kind of like a brand name snob with the sunglasses. I like some aviator style ones, classic ones. You you know what I'm talking about. Yeah, but I got targeted on Facebook about 20 gazillion times by Shady Rays, and they're like $30 to $40 each. And I finally like, man, let's just try some of these. I lost my pair of the fancy ones, which I don't lose sunglasses, so I don't feel bad about spending the money. But these things are like I hate to call them cheap, how about inexpensive, but they're a great quality, at least the same quality as the more expensive ones. They're polarized, which is great for your road trip. Nobody knows that you're wearing $35 ones unless they look at it and then they say, like, oh wow, they look like the real thing that has Ray on them. Uh, I don't want to get sued by anyway, but Shady Rays will give you a link to their site. They always have sales. You've probably been targeted by them on Facebook, but I want to say, actually good product, not just like, oh, we're gonna spend a bunch of money on marketing because our product sucks. So that's my road trip thing. Get some shady rays if you're looking for a nice set of uh sunglasses, classically styled, polarized for your road trips. Takes the glare off the road, you won't crash. Like, oh my god, there's a car coming out! Alright guys, we're back. We didn't we didn't actually crash. That was just for that was for dramatic effect. I thought it was funny. Was it funny? Were you on the bottom? Were you scared?
SPEAKER_00Did you get scared? Because we're still here, don't worry. We're just driving down the road, no one around us, we're on the interstate. It's okay, we are safe, and we are back with our mailbag. Mailbag time? Yep. So, you guys, somebody emailed in and said, like, hey, I know Lake Team of Country Meets does a chili cook cook off every year, and I think it's usually around Winterfest. Are you doing that again this year? So, Nick, are we doing it?
SPEAKER_01We are not. Hawksview Golf Club. Uh, we co-hosted it with them for many years, and uh they're still doing it on their own. We had some other commitments that we weren't able to do it this year, but it is uh an amazing event. So I know they're still looking for people to do chili. You can check it out on their website. Definitely do that. We have some great chili people, all sorts of recipes. Uh, we recently did do uh chili for charity though.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, so we are we're still cooking chili, we still love uh obviously being part of our community and letting people taste all the yummy chili. So Avant Cycle Cafe downtown, Lake Geneva, hosted this chili for charity event um last Tuesday, which was really great. Uh to me, I think the best part, I think there was 10 participants, so it was like really nice to have a good accounting. I think it was around 10, so like a great turnout. They have a great loft space upstairs, and and they filled the space. There we really couldn't fit anyone else, and um, it was really nice to have all these local partners in one room, so like people we know, and and then really well attended on a Tuesday night in the winter, like raising money for charity, really fun. So, like, thanks for putting that on event.
SPEAKER_01Shout out to Boathouse and Kisses for Keegan for for uh kisses from Keegan, not kisses for Keegan. Take in the first place. Yep, congratulations to those guys. But uh for Winterfest to answer the question, we are doing a polar bar.
SPEAKER_00Yes, tell me about the polar bar.
SPEAKER_01We are Geno's East in downtown Lake Geneva, right across from Flatiron Park where a lot of the sculptures are, right across from Lake. They're doing a polar bar, and we are smoking a bunch of meat for them for this polar bar. Um, I don't want to get too much into it because we're actually gonna have a special edition. Oh, you're getting two special edition podcasts in a week from us. Um, but this Tuesday we're gonna release a podcast about Winterfest. You can hear all about um what we're doing for the polar bar, but we're gonna be downtown.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, so this um on Tuesday, check out this Winterfest edition if you're wondering what new events are. So there's all sorts of stuff going on with Winterfest this year. So uh tune in to find out some of our favorites. We've interviewed people who are hosting all of these cool events to keep you entertained in the winter months. Um, more info on the polar bar on that episode.
SPEAKER_01So it's time for a meat tip. Uh yes, the meat tip. And I wanted to talk a little bit about short ribs today. Okay. Beef short ribs. Tell us about them. Because it's due season, we got snow, we've had a lot of snow, and we have these in our fresh case, and I keep walking by and I keep saying, mmm, short ribs. Have you have you had short ribs outside of like an event? Because they're everybody's favorite event food.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, honestly, I I eat them at every event I go to, um, but no, I I don't really make them at home.
SPEAKER_01So there's a couple different types of short ribs. There's English cut short ribs, which are like these nice little cute squares with a bone on top. Is that what I used to see at an event or not? You see boneless short ribs. Boneless, of course. So you you know don't have to do that. Yep. Uh we don't usually do those for retail because they're very expensive because you have a lot of loss. Okay. And then there's what's called Korean or flankin' style. Where it's a lot thinner cut. Okay. And there's three bones across. We'll have a picture up so you can visualize all this. And those are great for grilling. If you've ever had like Korean grilled short ribs, that's what that is. That's why they call it Korean style.
SPEAKER_00I also like Nick mentioned we had a lot of snow, but I I would still go outside and grill right now. Oh, yeah, you can do this. So it's only like it's mid 30s, it's toasty, so go ahead and get out and grill some short ribs.
SPEAKER_01So short ribs are great to braise, put in your slow cooker, whatever you want to do. But my favorite way definitely is to braise them. They come from the chuck of the animal and kind of the chuck rib where they intersect, so you get a lot of fat, um, a lot of tenderness when you slow cook them, and just a ton of flavor. So braise them, serum, add in your favorite vegetables, it's great. But I just want everybody to know we're here for you with short ribs. Check out dinnerplusdrinks.com. We'll have all the information on three different types of shortcuts. Short ribs, English, Korean, and boneless.
SPEAKER_00And uh, that's way more than I ever really knew about short ribs. So I hope that that informs some of you guys about short ribs as well.
SPEAKER_01So if you're looking for something to warm up with and not do the same old pulled uh pulled cork, slow cooker, beef, beef stew, whatever, grab some short ribs, they're easy to cook. Um, you'll feel like a chef, and everybody you're cooking for will feel like a chef too, and your house will smell great.
SPEAKER_00And they'll be impressed, and yeah, that's great. So, you guys, we're moving on to my favorite part of this, Kid Corner. Kid Corner. Sorry about the singing, but we're on a road trip. Um, I think this is kind of a combined one here. I am gonna pat myself on the back. I've shared a pro-parent tip with Nick this week. Oh yeah. So I think it's pro-parent versus new parent right here. Go ahead. So again, if this is your first time tuning in, I have two kids, um a baby and a toddler. So uh almost four years old and about eight months old. And and Nick's daughter is how old? Three months. Three months. So I don't know, it depends on how you count. Nick, yeah, I mean, right, exactly. So Nick informed me of a poop catastrophe, let's call it. Poop explosion. Poop explosion. So all the poop all over, and and tell me how you got the poop explosion cleaned up.
SPEAKER_01Alright, so this is this is this is like a man way of doing it, because I was telling the girls at the Work at work about this, and there was a dude in front of the counter. He's like, Oh yeah. Well, I just got the scissors and cut the stupid onesie off. Which what?
SPEAKER_00Who is bringing scissors to cut a onesie off by your kid? She's fine. Okay. She's fine. Yeah, so Nick told me that. Right? And instead of agreeing. The onesie's too small anyway. Like. Okay, I get not saving the onesie, okay? Just throw it out. Yeah. But like, and I think the goal here was like, don't put poop all over your baby's head. Because it's it's already on her body. Okay. So did you know everybody? Onesies are designed to be able to roll down over the shoulders. I had no clue. Right, no clue. So I didn't know this either until I had a kid who had a poop explosion, and another educated parent told me about it. So I'm paying it forward to Nick and all of you who are listening who maybe are on your first child. The little flaps, I don't know, flaps, what you call it, the way the onesie is like sewn on the shoulders, that is meant so you can roll it down over the shoulders and not get poop all over your kids' head when they inevitably blow out of their diapers. So you're welcome.
SPEAKER_01My kid corner for this week is road trip Edison related. Simona, as I think I've said, is a terrible sleeper. Terrible, terrible, terrible sleeper. We had a torrid time in the hospital. Uh we were there for a while, everything was fine, but we were just there for a while, and we were terrified to take her home. Of like, is she gonna be okay in the car? Is she gonna continually scream like she did in the hospital? We got in the car and instantly she was out. So we went to Culver, she got cheese curts. Of course. But she slept the whole way home, and I was like, huh. So my daughter is a great sleeper in the car. So we take all sorts of kind of hour to two-hour drives at night. Oh man. Just to really put her out. My tip for everybody that needs to road trip and to keep your child sleeping is find a stretch of interstate that you can cruise up and down on. And just cruise up and down the interstate. Enjoy some tunes. Do you listen to music? We listen to a lot of podcasts, actually. How smart. Um, I think it's a good way to educate her because what's it that you need to hear like a million words before you're one, or like you'll never go to Harvard. Something like that, yeah. Something like that. Yeah. So we listen to The Daily from New York Times. Yeah, that's a good one. I give her my opinion on current events. Oh. We listen to The Ars Cast, which is about Arsenal Football Club. Which, you know, definitely I haven't listened to that one. She is going to be a supporter of my favorite teams.
SPEAKER_00Um, so no crime junkie podcasts. No crime junkie.
SPEAKER_01We're not, you know, I'm not into crime. I just make sure. Whatever. But yeah, I've tried a lot of different ways of getting her to go to sleep. I've tried like driving around the neighborhood, I've tried the like country roads, and country roads work fine, except if there's too many curves, then she'll like kind of wake up. Okay. The problem with cities or neighborhoods is you have to stop. Yep. And like, let's say you go and roll the stop sign to keep moving. Yeah. Um, well, what if your friendly neighborhood police officer sees you roll a stop sign? Is that police officer going to believe I only did it to keep my child sleeping?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, well, maybe if your child wakes up and is screaming while the cat's talking to you. I think you'll just get the ticket still. Um, okay, since we're on the road trip version of Kid Corner, I do have a question. When we took our kids home from the hospital, we played the same song for both of them as like their first song. That was like a weirdly important to us. Did did you have that experience? Um, I think we played some yay. Okay, well, we played our wedding song. I don't know. Oh wow, is it that sort of thing? I know, you know what? We're gonna all say, oh, it's so cute. Okay, great. Yeah, we played our wedding song, which was from the band. So, like, our kids are gonna love classic rock. It's great. That was the first song they ever heard. And now, actually, we still sing that to Elliot at night. He likes us to sing it. It's really adorable.
SPEAKER_01What about Lucy?
SPEAKER_00Uh Lucy doesn't care. You were supposed to have a story about Lucy. You know what? You're right. I do have another kid besides Elliot. She just also doesn't sleep. So maybe I should take her for a road trip. Maybe we could do like Quiet Edition. Quiet podcast, because our kids are sleeping. Would that be annoying? I think maybe. Probably. Great. So thanks for listening on Road Trip Edition, guys.
SPEAKER_01We hope you had fun. Send us in your favorite road trip, snacks, your questions. Stay tuned. This Tuesday we're gonna have a special edition podcast all about Lake Geneva Winterfest. If you're in the area, it tells you what to do. If you're outside of the area, it tells you why you should come.
SPEAKER_00Yep, and don't forget to subscribe, rate us, leave a comment. Uh, we'd love to hear from you also. Send us a note or go to dinnerplusbrinks.com and follow up for the city.
