06/14/20 • 40 min

The theme of this episode is Bridget has a hard time choosing. Whether that's a good news story to share, a recipe to make, or which kid to talk about, she has a hard time choosing, so she just shares it all!

Here's what we talked about on this episode:

It's rosé wine season, and we tried something that Nick had never tried before, a rosé wine from Corsica called Domaine Vetriccie. It's refreshing, with zesty grapefruit flavors that are quite enjoyable. Have you ever tried Corsican wine?
Bridget is going to travel to Amsterdam to check out this Willie Wonka style chocolate factory that's under construction.
She also loves that statues of slave owning historic figures are being replaced by Air Dancer inflatables instead!
Nick loves European soccer and thinks it's awesome that Borussia Monchengladbach has installed cardboard cutouts of fans in the stands to help make up the atmosphere.
Bridget got Lucy these sweet Jelly Sandals from Old Navy. Did you ever have jelly sandals as a kid? Are you also subjecting your child to these torture devices?
Bridget also chose to share an adult product recommendation - these Silicon Straws available for $10.99 on Amazon.
Nick recently installed his Ring Doorbell Pro and loves the sense of security it provides, as well as how easy it was to install. Do you have smart home recommendations? We'd love to hear them!
If you loves peonies as much as Bridget does, you need to check out the official Instagram account of the French Conservatoire de la Pivoine.
Bridget is going to be making this Chorizo & Queso Dip sometime this week...
...while Nick will make dinner a breeze with this Sheet Pan Lemon Chicken Thigh recipe.

Make the World Better | Dinner Plus Drinks #24

We start this podcast with a discussion of the murder of George Floyd by members of the Minneapolis Police Department. As white people, we'll never know what it's like to be treated differently by police because of the color of our skin, but we have a responsibility to try to understand, and then do something to make the world better. We discuss our feelings, the conflict we have between still enjoying our lives while acknowledging the tragedy, and share ideas on how we can take small steps to make the world better. We hope our discussion helps you process your feelings on this incredibly complex topic.
If you're not interested in this discussion, skip ahead to 6:30 for a more normal podcast listening experience. You can also choose to watch this episode on YouTube at this link.
