by the by

By the by im Sinne von uebrigens, nebenbei bemerkt.
Example sentence:

Also, by the by,incidentally, in passing.....The bye or second by in this term originally meant a side path, whence the current sense of "off the track" or "of secondary importance"

"en passant"

just a thought

Peer comment(s):
agree Norbert Hermann : I'd say "in passing"

neutral Francis Lee (X) : This is IMO used only in connection with chess. Otherwise not a common phrase.

casually

I'd reword it a bit, but my feeling when I read this is more towards "casually" turning the conversation towards holiday/vacation plans...

...and we can casually discuss everything you want to know....
