Gift-Giving Made Easy

Scientists have pinpointed what goes on in the brain when we give, and it turns out we profit emotionally, if not financially. Researchers found recently that when someone gives, the midbrain, a region associated with primal desires such as food and sex (sounds like a night at a B&B - wink!), shows heightened activity - a pleasurable effect.

Feel like experiencing the "joy of giving"? Who deserves receiving more than those who give the most - Moms and Dads? Treat the 'mom' in your life this May 11 and 'dad' this June 15.

One Tank Trips

A long winter and high gas prices - time for a break? There's no question that gas is pricey and everyone is concerned with reducing their impact on the planet as well. So what's the solution when you still want to travel, but want to conserve money and gas as well? One tank trips.

What is a one tank trip? It's a weekend getaway that only requires about a tank of gas to get there and back. One tank trips are the solution to rising pump prices, and since the travel distances are short you'll have more time to relax. Have you explored areas close to where you live? Sometimes we neglect what's right in our backyard and could be missing out on the world's best porch swing or the local specialty icecream. The White Rose is found via roads that pass through forests and pastoral scenes with classic red barns; the drive is a sightseeing tour in itself.

The Lodi - Merrimac Ferry is now open again. Highway 113 not only takes you to Wisconsin Dells but also to Devil's Lake State Park ,Baraboo and the Ho-Chunk Casino.

Find out about fascinating one tank daytrips from the White Rose Inns in the Dells to Baraboo, Spring Green and Princeton ,full of interesting places to visit.

Vegetarian or Not, You'll Love This Food

(From the Wisconsin Dells Visitor and Convention Bureau's monthly newsletter

Cheese Factory Restaurant Expands Menu

The Cheese Factory Restaurant Cookbook is a perennial bestseller at the namesake restaurant in Wisconsin Dells. Now, this charming eatery, once actually a cheese factory, but now known for its ethnically-influenced vegetarian dishes, is expanding its menu to include even more of what visitors love with a selection of organic, gluten-free and vegan dishes. They've also gotten in to the designer wedding cake business, a plus for those holding their nuptials in Wisconsin Dells .The food is so delicious that people come from far and wide for a sampling of their favorites. Save room for one of the heavenly desserts.

 

Good Tax News?

Brace yourselves, this could be a real first. If there is such a thing as good tax news, the recent announcement of a possible break for those who aren't clogging their arteries sounds like a step in the right direction. Based on the numerous studies that have repeatedly shown vegetarians to have lower incidences of heart disease—still the #1 cause of death in the US—the feds are considering introducing a tax break which will reflect the projected decreased dependency on government-sponsored health care for those whose diets are less likely to cause high blood pressure, clogged arteries or heart attacks.

Like mothers, taxes are often misunderstood, but seldom forgotten. If you don't really know what your family's options are as vegetarians but want to eat fresher, healthier meals (What can I cook my family?) why not come to Wisconsin Dells to see what vegetarians eat? Guaranteed, you will definitely be surprised! At the White Rose Inns try a vegetarian breakfast (choice of five options) then dinner at the vegetarian Cheese Factory Restaurant (dozens and dozens of options). And to answer that question? The Cheese Factory Restaurant's vegetarian cookbook . (A great gift for Mother's Day!)
