Encore Episode: Summer Escapades and Sunday Suppers - From Universal to Chi Chi's Camper
Manage episode 434204620 series 3560108
We're back with a brand new intro to one of our classic episodes! Courtney and Whitney kick things off by sharing the latest on their recent California escapades—from hosting a women’s marketing panel in the serene Ojai Valley to navigating the chaos of LA life. Think chauffeuring teens to Summer camps, braving the madness of Universal Studios (seriously, never again). Once back home in Dallas, Whitney shares a hilarious story about Momma Ashley's concern for a French Olympian’s 'baguette' after falling short in the poll vaulting competition.
After the laughs and updates, we’re diving into a fan-favorite from Season 1: Episode 40 - Sweet Corn, Slow Cooker, and the Side Queen. This one’s a true gem featuring the Rasch brothers—Alex, Kyle, and Jordan—who grew up in the small town of Mascoutah, Illinois, where Sunday suppers at their family farm were legendary. Picture this: 30+ people gathered every week, rain or shine, with their blind grandmother at the helm, serving up hearty, homemade meals that are still talked about today.
The brothers take us back to those simpler times, reminiscing about their mom, Cheryl (aka Momma Chi Chi), who was more about the fun than the fuss in the kitchen. Chi Chi was the queen of sides and always had a crockpot going in the camper during their lake adventures. With her signature jalapeno lights strung up, she made sure every camping trip was filled with laughter, community, and, of course, delicious food.
And who could forget the Amann family cookbook, "From Our Home To Yours"? This treasured heirloom, crafted by Chi Chi and her six siblings, is filled with cherished family recipes and cocktails that have been passed down through generations. The Rasch brothers hold this cookbook dear, cooking from it regularly as a way to keep their family traditions alive.
So, grab a cold Zima in honor of Momma Chi Chi, and join us for this heartfelt and hilarious trip down memory lane. Whether it’s your first time listening or you’re revisiting an old favorite, this episode is sure to bring a smile to your face and maybe even a tear to your eye. Cheers!
