04/29/24 • 32 min

They say the best stories come from the most unexpected places, and let me tell you, Dolores and I have tales from the kitchen to the tornado shelters that'll keep you hooked! Join us as we recount our escapades with the Camp Chef Explorer 14, the sizzle of Mediterranean pasta hitting the pan, and the aromatic bliss of fresh herbs from our own backyard. We're bringing the heart of our home into yours, sharing how we infuse love, laughter, and a little bit of cilantro into every dish – especially our homemade salsa that's about to become your new favorite.
Who doesn't enjoy a good poolside story with a twist of comedy? Our recent homeowners' adventures—think dropped screws and submerged smartphones—have us spinning stories you've just got to hear. Even as the whirlwind of work during bulk cleanup season tries to sweep us off our feet, we stay grounded in our passion for sharing our culinary chronicles. Whether it's the aroma of brisket on the smoker or the trials of digital devices taking an unexpected swim, we've got the juicy details and the lost footage to prove it.
Grab your fishing gear and appetite as we wrap up with tales from Lake Texoma, where stripers and catfish didn't stand a chance against our angling prowess. We're dishing out cooking tips for your next haul and inviting you to celebrate life's milestones with us—cheat days included. It's not just about the fish; it's about making memories, and we're eager to have you along for the ride, through every sizzle, sear, and storm. So, fire up your grill and tune in; Dolores and I can't wait to share our flavor-packed journey with you!

Banana Curry Pizza: Grilling Up Unconventional Eats and Meaty Treats

Send John & Dolores a Text Message.

Craving something unconventional? Buckle up your taste buds, because Dolores and I journeyed into the quirky territory of banana pizza, and we're here to report back on this Swedish sensation. We didn't stop at just slathering marinara and cheese over dough—we went bananas, quite literally, with ripe slices of the fruit and a sprinkle of curry that'll have you reconsidering your pizza toppings. While Dolores admirably stuck to her keto guns, the kids and I were all in for seconds. And for those who enjoy a sneaky tipple, we concocted a 'dirty banana' cocktail that's as deceptively boozy as it is delicious. But the culinary exploits didn't end there; we were also met with the thrilling challenge of barbecue judging, where I lent my palate to a rib competition that sizzled away from the familiar KCBS standards.
The sizzle continues as we share our simple yet palate-pleasing experience grilling Polish sausages—a salute to those preferring a low-carb feast. I muse over my personal meaty preferences and the joy they bring to the grill. As we bask in the warm glow of our pellet grill, we also embrace the community that connects us to listeners across the globe, including a nod to a German fan's kind words and the steadfast support from Rob at Poor Guy Outdoor Cooking. The episode is an open invitation to our listeners: join the conversation, share your thoughts, and maybe even hear your voice featured in future episodes. It's all about that shared love for outdoor cooking, daring pairings, and the stories that simmer in between.
