Episode #172 We can brunch again? Sorry it's been so long since we've put out an episode, Aaron has been struggling with time management since going back to work, along with some other items in his personal life. But this should return us to our regular posting, and we hope that you're all doing well as the world works to find the new normal.

Episode #171 Do you want to play a game? In today's episode we talk about Union 32, and a lot of random things Sorry for how late the episode was this week. As Aaron mentioned in the intro, between going back to work unexpectedly, and having to deal with the theft of a catalytic converter on the day he usually edits the episode; this has been a week with little time to get podcast items done. We hope you are all well, and being safe, and we hope that we as a people can move forward and overcome the obstacles that we're facing. Be well everyone.

Episode #170 The Social Distancing Social Half-Hour of Socialness. Social. In today's episode we talk about our lives in lock down We'll also get into making pizza from scratch Finally, we taste a Keepsake Cider and a Fair State Co-op Heckin' Chonker Per Andrea's request, here is the link to the pizza dough recipe that Aaron has been using. The only recommendation we have for you is to use a pizza stone when baking, use low moisture mozzarella and fresh toppings that you enjoy (Aaron has been using pre-sliced pepperoni for the most part, but every now and again he's been using fresh salami or soppressata). Feel free to experiment with fresh veggies and meats on your own pizza. Also, if you want to make your own pizza at home, you can check out the series Making Perfect on the Bon Appetit YouTube channel. The link goes to the first in a 7 episode series on making the "perfect" pizza. Aaron doesn't completely agree with everything that they conclude in the show, but it's a great primer on making a great pizza from scratch. If you're looking to make your own pasta and pasta sauces from scratch, I recommend you start with Basics with Babish, as he has a great set of primers on many topics, but Aaron uses the sauces and pasta episodes as references when making food. Check out pizzatoday.com for recipes and just to drool over all the food you can imagine. As with our very early episode on pizza, we'll send you to check out https://www.pizzanpasta.com/ to see if they're near you (this is the business that Aaron grew up in, and where he worked for 7 seasons). Here is the recipe for the Ghost Pepper Glaze that Andrea sent to Aaron during the recording. Completely aside from the normal notes on the episode, we want everyone to know that we hope you're safe. This year just keeps getting worse, and the issues coming up from the death of George Floyd aren't new. We want the healing of our nation and our world to begin, and we know that nothing will bring the victims back; but for those of us that are left, we just want to see real and actionable change to occur and justice to be served.

(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.comMusical Credits: Good Day by Alex (c) copyright 2012 Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution (3.0) license.

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.For those of you who want the full video experience of the Laffing Sal, please click this link.Musical Credits: Good Day by Alex (c) copyright 2012 Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution (3.0) license.

Episode #149 Stacked Deck BrewingIn today's episode we explore Stacked Deck Brewing in Saint Paul, MN Taste some of their delicious beerFinally, we discuss the turnover in Saint Paul BreweriesRight off the bat, 23 Skidoo means to "go away," "scram," or otherwise leave.

Episode #145 Toilet Tourism In today's episode we get dirty talking about terlets and what we do with them on the roadOur taste for this episode is a take on an old fashioned that has Rum as a base, rather than a whisky.We used Lawless rum for this cocktail.

Episode #144 Bent BrewstilleryIn today's episode we talk about Bent Brewstillery in Roseville, MNWe taste several options at their taproomFinally, we discuss the history of Bent (and a lot of really old monetary systems)The law in the state of MN (Section 340A.22) that governs micro distilleries is a bit circular, and has been hard to navigate for many new distilleries, as shown in this post from The Growler. The law forces only one sale per person per day on site, and limits the size of the bottle to 375 ml for on site sales. It's more complicated than that, but that's a decent start to the confusing cycle that has been created.We here at Travel by Proxy want all of you to know about the crazy ways that currency used to be created and used, and want you to start with the Wikipedia entry on the Halfpenny, aka the Ha'penny, and for those of you wondering about the monetary system in The Name of the Wind, see the Kingkiller Wiki entry on the common currencies of the lands.Musical Credits: Good Day by Alex (c) copyright 2012 Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution (3.0) license.

Aaron and his wife really enjoyed their trip to Tongue in Cheek, and plan to go back again soon, and any place you can find with a similar mission will be well worth the time and expense for a nice night out.Also, if you all have suggestions for a Brunch tour in the Twin Cities, or any locale close to you, let us know, we need more places to go to and experience for you, and give our reactions to.We haven't taken any photos of the new PC yet, as we're waiting for the desk to be completed, and we're really excited for that to come to be.We really appreciate you all, and hope you have a great Thanksgiving, and we really are looking forward to completing our first year as a podcast!Musical Credits: Good Day by Alex (c) copyright 2012 Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution (3.0) license.

The Wiki for the Berliner Weisse is not super long, but is an interesting read.3rd Act Brewing is located in Woodbury, MN, and has a beautiful taproom there, you can find more about their list of available brews and menu options here.The Randall (officially known as Randall the Enamel Animal) is an interesting device, and we're sure it will come up again in future episodes. It was indeed originated by Dogfish Head Brewing, we do enjoy when we're right about things. We're really excited to share our thoughts from our Saint Paul Brewery Crawl starting in a few episodes, so stay tuned for that!Also, you just have to check out the little hype train that VW is making for their concept elecric vehicles, including the BUZZ that Andrea so adores.And seriously check out the video of the Solar Powered yacht mansion that Aaron was talking about.Musical Credits: Good Day by Alex (c) copyright 2012 Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution (3.0) license.

Episode #133We're in Uptown Minneapolis, MN, checking out Red Cow We bask in their delicious menu and enjoy a classic "Death in the Afternoon" minus the champagne (but really, it's just Absinthe on ice)As mentioned in the episode, a Death in the Afternoon is credited to author Ernest Hemingway, and shares a name with one of his books. As we didn't have any champagne, or sparkling wine of any kind, we simply had Absinthe over ice with sugar and water added to tasteThere really isn't a recipe, but the best way to add sugar is either by adding simple syrup, or by putting a sugar cube on a slotted spoon and slowly adding water by using a dropper. There are actually Absinthe Spoonswhich are purpose made for adding sweetness to Absinthe.You ever type a word so many times, that it no longer looks like a real word? That's how I feel about Absinthe right now.We really want to shout out the delicious burgers (and food in general) at Red Cow, and we want you all to give them a try if you're in the neighborhood.Do you have any strong feelings about fat/lean ratios in ground meats?
