Three Lil Fishes Podcast

This week’s episode of Three Little Fishes is a certified summertime circus — complete with sore muscles, spoiled sourdough, skin cancer scares, and last-minute Father’s Day scrambling. So basically… another week in the life.

🧳 From East Coast Heat to 4AM Extras

The Fishes kick things off with stories from their whirlwind East Coast reunion to celebrate a high school graduation (go, Trevor!). There were parties, playlists, sweat-soaked setup sessions… and no air conditioning. Oh, and Lynne and Sarah capped it all off by staying up until 4AM as background extras on 9-1-1: Nashville. For $100 and some shrimp scampi. You can’t make this stuff up.

🥖 R.I.P. Sourdough Starter

In a tragic twist, the sourdough starter Lynne lovingly transported across multiple state lines for Kathy met its doom when fruit flies invaded. Let this be a lesson: Ziploc bags are not airtight. Also, don’t try to ferment anything when your kitchen is 82 degrees and the A/C is dead.

But don’t worry — Lynne’s got a starter cheat sheet and a mason jar ready. We’ll rebuild.

🏋️‍♀️ Scuba Steve’s Vacation Workout Plan

Kathy takes the lead this week to talk about the importance of keeping your body moving, even while traveling. Inspired by her own run-in with frozen shoulder (yes, that’s a real thing), she shares five simple exercises from her longtime trainer “Scuba Steve” — no gym required. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luWP0Z_aZIw https://youtu.be/HvghDKEkT6w?si=qd0vyO3tPyz4vyAE https://youtu.be/LgaYt4Hi6-g?si=hhrrHgr6AWurVo3i https://youtu.be/DDJIDySQFgU?si=CtI5J2yS4Hi23KKG https://youtube.com/shorts/HvdLRWBprws?si=hyMTMv6tB59tkjtg You can contact Scuba Steve if you're interested in your own customized fitness plan (really he just goes by Steve) at stevemus1@gmail.com Steve Musacchio

🧔 Father’s Day Feels

With Father’s Day right around the corner (surprise, Kathy!), the sisters reflect on how their husbands like to spend the day — from sleeping in and pool time to guilt-free solo beach runs. They also swap gift ideas, including:

Face socks with your kids’ heads on them
Smart wireless meat thermometers
Oprah-approved Stanley beer steins (chill your drink without hogging freezer space)

The real takeaway? Dads need a break too — even if they won’t admit it.

🍑 What’s for Dinner: Grilled Pork & Peach Skewers

This week’s recipe is simple, seasonal, and Father’s Day approved: skewered pork tenderloin and fresh peaches tossed on the grill. Sweet, savory, and easy enough to throw together between swim meets and meltdowns.

Here's a delicious recipe for Pork Tenderloin and Peach Kabobs:

Pork Tenderloin and Peach Kabobs (Download as a PDF below)

Ingredients:

2 pork tenderloins (about 2 lbs total), cut into 1½-inch cubes
4-5 firm but ripe peaches, pitted and cut into wedges
1 large red onion, cut into chunks
2 bell peppers (any color), cut into 1-inch pieces

For the marinade:

¼ cup olive oil
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions:

Prepare the marinade: Whisk together olive oil, honey, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, ginger, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
Marinate the pork: Place pork cubes in a zip-lock bag or shallow dish and pour half the marinade over them. Reserve the other half for basting. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
Prep for grilling: Remove pork from marinade and thread onto skewers alternating with peach wedges, onion chunks, and bell pepper pieces. You'll need about 8 skewers.
Grill: Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill kabobs for 12-15 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes and basting with reserved marinade. Pork should reach an internal temperature of 145°F.
Rest and serve: Let kabobs rest for 3 minutes before serving.

Tips:

Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before using to prevent burning
Choose peaches that are ripe but still firm to prevent them from falling apart on the grill
These also work great in the oven at 425°F for about 15-18 minutes if you prefer not to grill

The sweet peaches pair beautifully with the savory pork, and the honey-soy glaze caramelizes nicely on the grill. Serve with rice or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
