Episode #156: Adulting at Disney, aka the one where Aaron can't remember lots of words

In today's episode we talk about being Child-free Adults at and around Disney and its resorts

We'll also taste an experimental concoction of our own design, as well as a scotch and soda

Finally, we discuss how important walking speed is when walking around parks

Right off the bat: Aaron was trying to say Single Malt Scotch, rather than small/single batch. (Not sure why I couldn't manage to remember simple words).

The shot that we were thinking of is a Cement Mixer, which is actually Baileys and Lime juice, not pickle juice.

The pattern on the chairs that Aaron was trying to describe is Madras, not Chambray (which is a fabric, not a pattern).

Thanks for listening to us butcher words into new shapes, and if you have questions about our ADD/ADHD brains, please send them to fans@travelbyproxy.com

Episode #154 The Slanted Door, San Francisco, CA

In today's episode we talk about The Slanted Door in San Francisco, CA
We'll taste some tea
Finally, we discuss the history of The Slanted Door

Aaron was so excited to sit down and remember his experience at The Slanted Door, as it has really stuck with him over the years. If you're looking to splurge while in San Francisco, we highly recommend indulging your palate at The Slanted Door. The Prix Fixe options for lunch are very reasonably priced, and will give you a great variety of what they have to offer.

The Slanted door is located in the Ferry Building, which is home to a wide variety of shops and purveyors of fine foods. We highly recommend that you check it out.

We do have a correction about the James Beard Awards: There are more categories than we were aware of at time of recording, so while each category only has one winner per year, there is more than one award to be issued each year. Just wanted to clarify and correct our mistake there!

Looks like Twinings tea is pronounced with a long I at the beginning, so Andrea was right.

And we have found this video of a blooming tea brewing, and it's pretty awesome.
