First Crack 79. Slush Recipe and House Memories

May 15th, 2006 by Garrick Van Buren

Jen shares her family Slush recipe (get out the cheap Brandy) while we share some memories about our old house. The place my Grandparents lived in for 40 years, my mom for a good chunk of that, Jen and I for 2, and Cooper for his first 6 months. We cover the good, the bad, and the renovated. Listen close and there’s a Dirk Gently reference in there for you.

I’m also introducing a new segment: Two Minutes with Mom.

White Rock Coffee in the Highland Park neighborhood of St. Paul (arguably the best coffee shop in Twin Cities) is running one of the coolest specials I’ve heard of since TextDrive’s Mixed Grill / 3 Martini Lunch Hosting Plans - $99 gets you their travel mug + refills for the rest of 2006.
