I think we're live
0:02
I think we're live. Hey, let us know if y'all are coming in live and clear
0:06
because I think we are out there getting after it today. And we thank y'all so much for dropping by the kitchen
0:12
If you was going to try to do this outside today, it would blow the makeup off your head
0:17
Southwestern Oklahoma is getting some of that good breeze. We tend to have nearly tropical force winds
0:23
about 70% of the time of the year. So, hey, it's something we're used to watching
0:27
Have a big shout out where they're watching from. Yeah. We've already gotten some internationals
0:32
We have some folks from Austria, from Germany, Australia, Hawaii's on there
0:36
And I'd like to just go ahead. We had some folks donate even before this started
0:41
Mike McGinnis, Titus Tucker, Christian Schreckel, we thank y'all so much. I think we're over $200 already
0:48
And we're going to sort of let a little more people get on before we really get started with this deal
0:53
But I think I should let y'all know right off the bat, this is not nothing political
0:57
This is what we call in our part of the woods, all I was ever raised to know in ranching, and that is neighbor helping neighbor
1:05
That is what we're doing. We're helping our neighbors. Now, some of y'all might have seen, even back before, we helped our good neighbors in Kentucky when all the tornadoes went through there
1:14
So, folks, what makes this country great? Reaching out and helping others
1:19
And that's what this is all about. So, no political comments, no nothing
1:23
Be happy. Let's share. Let's smile. Let's have a good time because that's what's going to take place here in the kitchen today
1:28
I promise. And all the donations 100% go to Convoy of Hope
1:36
They help supply humanitarian needs to all the refugees. Now, you don't have to donate
1:43
But if you would, hey, we would be honored and you will be blessed and we'll be blessed
1:48
There's a little button down there at the bottom that you can push that says donate. And, hey, it's there
1:53
Shout out to Jay Johnson, he just donated. Jay, we thank you so much, brother, for donating
1:58
We do. But make sure you hit that little button. Don't think that YouTube's getting this
2:02
It all goes 100%. That's how Shan has got it set up
2:07
Jeffrey Fleming has given us a little donation too. We thank you so much
2:11
And hey, this is called what? Cowboy fried bananas or fried nanners
2:17
You know, we always had nanners. We never really had too many bananas
2:20
But some of y'all might have remembered and might have watched me on Chopped Grill Masters
2:26
That was a long time ago. And they broke out something that looked just like this and give to me in the dessert round
2:32
And what did I call it? A nanner. They said it was a plantain
2:36
Hey, where I come from, we don't have them. We've never even seen them. So if it looked like a nanner, we're going to treat it like a nanner
2:43
This was a recipe that really I broke out to some cowboys a long time ago
2:47
first night in on a ranch and they thought oh my gosh what is the cowboy cook done throw at us now
2:55
they asked for this four more times in two weeks to know if they could have it i'd say somebody
3:00
gonna have to go to the store and get some ice cream is all i can tell you how many people are
3:05
cooking along with us today let's see a show of hands all right don't be like the beagle and the
3:11
The mage is the only one present in the kitchen today. Let me pan around
3:19
Are over here sleeping. Yes, everybody's had a really hard day they have
3:25
But this is so easy to cook along with. It's something that is really a great dish
3:31
And I think we're going to go ahead and tell everybody, if you're worrying about the fear of alcohol being in your finished product
3:38
alcohol cooks away. We're just getting that great flavor that is added to it
3:42
It is a great thing. But I need to go ahead and tell you all, too, be sure and keep an eye on the website, the community tab, because you know what's happening
3:53
Hey, we're going to be at Downstream Casino in Quapaw, Oklahoma. It's right on the border of Missouri and Oklahoma this Saturday
4:01
Okay? So be sure and just log on to their little channel over there, I mean their website, Downstream Casino
4:06
and get your ticket if there's any left. We hope to see you there
4:11
But also, hey, it's getting oh so close, and we thank God and we thank y'all
4:17
Two million subscribers is right around the corner. I think we're liking about maybe 16, 17,000
4:23
and that'll happen before you know it. But also, we're starting to host some private events
4:27
over here in our courtyard behind the coffee shop to where you can go ahead and purchase tickets for that
4:34
Shan has got you fixed up. We'd love to see you all there. It'll be sort of an intimate evening. We're only selling 38 tickets to each event
4:43
So if you want to go, we'd love to have you. Just make sure that you just get along that website and you can figure all that out
4:50
Can I just stop you right now? Yes, ma'am. Because we've already passed our goal
4:54
I knew we would, Sugar. We have good people. We set a goal of what we thought we were going to make today, and we passed that before we even really get started
5:06
So, folks, that's y'all's heart pouring out to a community and a nation
5:12
We have somebody from Poland watching. Oh, so it is good. We have some folks from Poland that are watching today
5:18
And, hey, our heart goes out to all those people over there. And like I say, this is what we do
5:24
Neighbors help neighbors. We may not can touch them right off the bat and hold their hand, but, folks, we can support them and we can help them out
5:32
So is it time to start cooking, Shan? It is. It is time to start cooking
5:35
So, first of all, you need what? Three nanners you do. And somebody did ask, are they green, are they ripe
5:44
Well Shan picks these bananas out I pick ripe bananas She likes hers to be just a tad bit on the greenish side Now I will tell you this as a tip If they a little underripe they do hold up better in the skillet when you begin to
5:57
cook, and you're still going to get that same flavor. So hurry, go out there to the bush and get three bananas off the tree
6:03
Bring it back in here. You're going to need some sugar. You're going to need some bugger, bugger, some cinnamon, and some of this here, snops
6:12
cinnamon snops. Now, to start off with, we have our good stargazer skillet back over here on the stove
6:19
and I'm not going there yet, Shen. I'm just going to light this and turn it on low
6:23
If it'll light, it's not got a stick of firewood in it, so we'll turn it down to right there
6:29
One stick of butter. Now, if you're doing this in a piece of cast iron, and I hope that you are
6:36
make sure it is a well-seasoned piece of iron because this is sort of hard on newly resurfaced
6:42
cast iron it is so one stick of butter can you use fireball can't oh you can use fireball in fact
6:49
let me just see what's up here oh my gosh look here it says fireball just in case we run a
6:55
little short we'll break some of that out they already ran out of alcohol they had to go over
6:59
to the store already run out they done made this dish before we started then have they
7:03
so what are we going to do a cup of sugar now remember for you folks that are just jumping on
7:11
when you go to donate to this it all goes to a convoy of hope 100 of the money goes there
7:18
we're not getting no money youtube not getting no money it's going straight over there as
7:23
humanitarian aid to those folks that need it the most neighbors helping neighbors remember
7:29
that's what we do what did i start with a cup of sugar yes i did now now we're going to have
7:36
some cinnamon now i know it's in the in the snobs but we got to have some more here how much
7:41
The right amount is what I'd say, which is probably a tablespoon or two
7:45
If you don't have this recipe, but you got this book in your house, run, get it quick
7:50
Hurry. It's this one right here. A Taste of Cowboy, our first one
7:54
And since Shan really wants to know, it's one tablespoon of cinnamon, Shan
7:59
We're going to give this a mixing with this fancy brand new red whisk we are
8:05
Could you add nutmeg? You could add nutmeg. You can add allspice
8:08
Whatever seasoning you want to put in here. I've never tried it with chili powder or anything like like that. I was wondering what that sound was, but it is butter
8:18
Ain't that a beautiful sight shin when you can get some oh My gosh and some of you might be asking do we really need a stick of butter folks if it was just me
8:28
We'd probably put about four sticks in there. You can never have too much butter So let's move on to these bananas. I need you to just cut them
8:37
any way you can to get them open. Where's your hat, Kent
8:41
Well, I try not to wear a hat in the house. That's what my mother would always tell me
8:46
A hat hangs on the rack when you come in the door. So that's where it's supposed to be
8:51
Y'all can see my wonderful hairdo today. I did have to wet it down before I come in here
8:55
The wind had about bloated off my head. I got a question. I see Shan do this a lot
9:01
She'll bite this end of the banana. That's how monkeys do it
9:05
That don't mean you a monkey, Shan. I mean. I watched a documentary. They got this little deal right here that you can just pull on
9:12
That's why it's here. So get them all peeled out of there
9:16
Three bananas. I like a nanner. I do. Now I want you to turn them up lengthwise like that because we need them to be able to lay
9:24
right in the skillet. Go ahead and cut them in half. And if you want, just go ahead and cut them here
9:30
That way they're easier to serve when we get ready at the end of the deal because most
9:34
the time they're going to try to break in half anyway when they get hot. So go ahead and cut
9:40
them. And if they even fall in smaller pieces than that, it's all right. Now I've heard this called
9:45
bananas foster. What was the name we got from Hawaii saying that it was called? I can't even
9:51
remember now what folks told us it was. But the butter is getting hot. I can hear it sizzling
9:58
Make sure that you don't burn it. We've got it on low, low heat. We have our cinnamon and sugar
10:05
We're going to do these one at a time. We just have a donation for $500. Oh, a donation for $500 by an anonymous person
10:13
God bless you so much, my friend. We appreciate it very much
10:17
Let me get in here. What's happening? We are coating Nanners with a brown sugar, no brown sugar, a cinnamon and sugar mixture
10:25
Now, I have used brown sugar for this on a ranch because I run out of everything else
10:30
So it don't hurt to experiment. It don't. Just make sure everybody gets coated well. Hi, Mage. How are you, buddy? You don't like bananas, I know
10:40
But folks, there is something that goes with this right at the end that Major really does like
10:44
That's called Blue Bail Ice Cream, and they ain't sponsoring the video. But we do like us in Blue Bail. Anybody else, Shan
10:53
Where can you buy the cookbook? Where can you buy the cookbook? We have two
10:57
This one is A Taste of Cowboy, our first cookbook. And you can get Faith, Family, and the Feast, our second cookbook at www.kentrollins.com
11:09
But today, or major retailers like, not retailers, but Amazon does have them too as well, right
11:16
And folks, I'll give you a little heads up too. Coming sometime, oh, first part of May, if you're near an Atwoods farming ranch store, they will have our product in there
11:26
We're so glad to be in there. Thank you so much. We appreciate each and everybody that is donating, but we appreciate you all for watching and having that heart that I know our viewers do
11:39
I tell people all the time we have the best fans in the world and that is y We appreciate each and every one of you letting us come into your house on Wednesdays and Sundays
11:49
Hey, it is a blessing for us. But today, we're talking about all the proceeds going to a convoy of hope
11:57
a humanitarian relief that is going 100%. Hit the donate button, it'll get there
12:04
Also, remember, check the little website out for upcoming events. It is warming up
12:09
This Saturday we'll be in Quapaw, Oklahoma at the Downstream Casino. It's sort of a little cook-alive demonstration
12:16
They're having steak. Ooh, it's going to be good. We've got a lot of people asking if you can do these every Sunday
12:22
Every Sunday? If we don't run out of liquor, we might do them Sunday, Monday, Tuesday
12:27
We might do it all. So, Shanna, you want to go ahead and move around here because we're fixing to go to the skillet
12:35
Hold on, everybody. Uh-oh. Bear with me. We are in transit. We are so we have turned that up to about a medium heat and we're going to cook these bananas
12:45
about a minute or two on all sides and To me when you can get that in there and things start to go on and you smell that cinnamon that's coming off that
12:56
Mixed in with that butter it don't get no better than that. So we'll get her turned up ready to go
13:04
Ouch, that's hot Now, this is three bananas that's cut up. You can use two, you can use eight
13:13
but if you use much more in a skillet full, you better do it in separate batches
13:17
because it gets a little crowded in the swimming pool. It does. I want to know how everybody else is doing
13:22
Yeah, I want to know who's cooking along. I mean, I want to come over and eat sometimes
13:27
so I need to know who is cooking. Now, look who has joined me over here
13:32
It is my buddy, my kitchen help, who's always in here all the time
13:36
no matter what you're cooking, mage is gonna be here, ain't you mage
13:42
Rubber spoon, cast iron, works well together. Just give them a little shaking around there
13:48
I have done it two or three different ways, I'm gonna turn it up just a tad
13:52
Just go ahead and spoon butter over them instead of turning them over
13:56
because we're not frying these to where they're golden brown, they're not staying in there that long
14:01
So we just want them to go with just a little bit. Oh, can y'all smell that, Shen
14:08
Because it is smelling some of that good. It is. Now, I will tell you this
14:15
You need one of these, too, okay? I don't want to see you using that big old flamethrower that I start fire with outside
14:21
Get you just a small striker because this is, what do you call it, flambe
14:26
Oh, are you going to light it on fire? Yes, ma'am. The smoke alarm's been disassembled here in the house, so I think we'll be all right
14:33
So it's just like spooning brown butter over a steak. We're just going to keep this going
14:37
I find this method easier than the turning all of the bananas over
14:41
You can tilt it to one side, whatever you got to do. And if sometime in that process, you don't think it's got enough cinnamon to suit you
14:49
just open up the shaking side and give it another little shaking in here
14:54
because you're sure not going to hurt nothing. And that's got some great color on it now
14:59
Things are beginning to happen. I like to let it go to where you don't see the butter brown because that's getting a little too far
15:08
We're getting oh so close. So what do we got? Let's remind everybody no political comments
15:13
And folks, like I told y'all, y'all know about our channel. We're here to help people
15:17
We're here to entertain. We're here to provide a service. That is not anything that is political
15:22
This is not a political statement of any kind. We are helping people
15:27
So if you have a political comment you'd like to have, leave them to yourself
15:30
because we don't want them. That's what this is about. Now, Justin Wilson always told me that he said
15:38
let me just go ahead because I don't want y'all to think that I ain't got no manners. Justin said, whatever you're cooking with, wine, whiskey, or beer
15:49
make sure you sample that it has not gone sour. It's just right
15:55
It's all right, Shannon. We got Nova Scotia watching. Oh, we thank y'all
15:59
So, how much? I like to use a whole cup full, I do
16:04
And I want to show y'all the good color of this. And don't be worried about the alcohol content
16:11
It's good and red. I mean, it looks good. Because this is going to burn off as it cooks
16:17
Turn that heat up just a tad more. Let's just go ahead and pour right on there
16:21
Ooh, ain't that a pretty sound right there? I like to let her cook for just a little bit
16:27
And then guess what? It's time to get flambay'd it is. I'm worried
16:31
Well we always got the winder we can throw it out, Shannon, if things get a little too
16:35
fast for you. Here we go folks. Okay wait, show me what's happening first
16:39
What's going to happen? We're going to burn the alcohol off of it, okay
16:43
Because it's boiling right now, but we're going to see what happens. Did you see that flame up there just a little
16:47
Oh, so it's not bad. No. I have done it at the wagon to where it'll lick the top of the tarp, so just make sure
16:54
If it'll stay lit it's even better, but sometimes it won't No, it's 60% you can get 80 you can get a hundred
17:04
So hey mage, I think we're good buddy Don't you So you can let this cook
17:14
Denise we thank you so much now you can let this cook down to it makes a really thick syrup
17:19
And it's about gone and evaporated me I just like to let it simmer right there on pretty low heat while I go off over here where Shan is and what get the
17:28
blue bell ice cream. Sherry said you probably let it cook a little too long so it already cooked out some of the alcohol Might have but being that it just 60 proof it didn have a bunch in there to start with Well you drank half of it I drank a little sip Let me get the ice cream out of here Yes ma Blue Bell is what happening today Hi mage
17:52
So we're going to go ahead and open that. I got one of these ice cream dippers somewhere
17:56
I got a bowl and this bowl got so many comments when we did a video with it and it
18:03
And it was just a bowl that we found in an antique store. Mage, let's get a cup holder. I mean a
18:11
one of these to set the skillet on We're gonna set it right here
18:19
That is thickening up just a tad and it does it does smell some of that good too
18:31
So you can do this two of three ways. You can put your ice cream in there now and put the bananas on
18:36
top of it or you can make a double-decker deal to where I like to go ahead and put one in there
18:42
Bring the stargazer right over here. Get us one of these nanners or two or three
18:52
Lay right in here. We'll just get another one too and put over here
18:57
And then you just take some more of that sauce and just drizzle it all over that ice cream
19:03
I like to top with one more. this is something that kent does just for himself just a little shake of cinnamon if it a little
19:16
shake will come on folks that's a 347 plate of dessert there that we made for six dollars and
19:25
95 cents so if we had a spoon and they're over there shan somewhere i would actually take a bite
19:32
of this concoction. I haven't had any since probably six years ago on a ranch when we were
19:38
cooking this. So for those of y'all who already have y'alls cooked and you've tasted it, tell me
19:45
what it tastes like. I need to know, okay? Because this is a favorite dessert of ours
19:51
that we very seldom make. So bananas, sauce, ice cream. the warmness there that you have from the banana that's cooked in that butter and cinnamon
20:07
But folks, the thing that shows out is that there's sauce that's got that cinnamon snobs in it
20:13
Drizzle you some more back over there. I'm probably through talking now, Shannon
20:17
I'm just going to go ahead and eat. It'll make you want them
20:22
Oh, there we go. Dude, a nanner peel. Look out. You nearly got step
20:27
Oh, we got to stop right there. Give me another spoon. We have help showing up
20:31
and if we don't take care of them, we'll get bit. Okay, Mage, since you've been in here all by yourself helping Dad
20:40
there's you some ice cream. Big woke up for ice cream. Big and Sadie found an extra sack of dog food last night
20:48
and decided that they'd have a smorgasbord, so they got to walk about three miles today
20:53
They did, and it helped their outlook on life. Remember, all the proceeds when you hit that donate button
21:00
go to Convoy of Hope. So our goal was a thousand. Yeah. We're at 3.3 thousand. There we go folks
21:06
That is 3.3 thousand that we have raised so far and we sort of set the goal at a thousand
21:11
That is due to you good people and having the heart that we know you have. That's why we tell
21:16
people we have the best fans in the world because y'all are family to us. Y'all know what we stand
21:22
for. I know what y'all stand for and that's the best part of it. And everybody's wondering if we
21:26
can do these every Sunday but remind them we do have videos. Folks are asking can we do these every
21:31
Sunday but we do have a video that comes out every Sunday four o'clock and every Wednesday at 2 30
21:37
central and folks hey there are a lot more things coming up we just ask you to be sure and always
21:43
check the channel but the best thing that we can do for something like this is share the video with
21:49
other folks share it with everybody you know because that way we're helping someone that's in
21:54
need. And we've always wanted to help people. That has just been a goal. I remember when we
21:59
helped all the good folks in Kentucky, all the emails and everything we got from some of the
22:05
tornado victims that had lost everything that they had and how much they appreciated
22:09
These folks, they may not be watching that we're helping today. They may not speak the language
22:14
that we speak, but they speak the heart that we speak. And that's what it's about. And hey
22:19
Without y'all, none of this would be possible. It is a great deal. Remember, this weekend, this Saturday, 10 o'clock
22:27
Downstream Casino up near Joplin, Missouri, right there on the borderline in Oklahoma at Quapaw
22:33
Get you a ticket. I'd love to see. I don't know how many tickets they have left. They may nearly be sold out
22:38
I don't know. Also, check the website. We're fixing to start some intimate evenings in April
22:43
taking 38 people at a time. We do a little dinner demo. Hey, and guess what
22:47
Can I go ahead and tell them what's going to be cooking at that, Shannon? What? At the demos
22:51
Oh, sure. Something we beat Bobby Flay with. Y'all remember that, don't you? Award-winning beat Bobby Flay's butt chicken fried steak, the way the cowboy makes it
23:00
So, hey, we'd love to see y'all there, too. It is a great deal. Bananas, it don't get no better than this
23:06
I really like it. Are we about ready to close it up, Shannon? Yep
23:10
And I just, like, thank you for everything. Oh, we thank y'all so much, folks, because it wouldn't be possible without you
23:16
God bless you each and every one. Thank you so much for tuning in today
23:20
