Crime Diner

This week our focus is medical mysteries. These are the medical oddities you didn’t know existed. Nydia shares with us the story of the Guevedoces of the Dominican Republic. A condition that will leave you with more questions than answers. Dana tells us about the mysterious and devastating disease that is known throughout Papua New Guinea as Kuru or Laughing Disease. The source of the disease will surprise you.

For dinner, we went with Dominican Tres Golpes Mangu and man it was good. For dessert, we had Papua New Guinea banana cake with chocolate sauce. It was as delicious as that sounds. Our wine was Honoro Vera, a 2018, Cabernet Sauvignon which had a deep ruby red color and tasted of spices and sweetness. For under $10, it was a tasty wine.

This week we’re focusing on cruise ship disasters. Dana tells us about the bigger than the Titanic, very seldomly discussed, SS Eastland Disaster. Nydia shares the creepy and still unsolved mystery of George Smith, the honeymooner who disappeared from the Royal Caribbean International cruise ship MS Brilliance of the Seas in July 2005. We throw some possible theories out there about both stories.

For dinner, we went with scallops in a cheesy citrus sauce. For dessert, we had Carnival Cruise Lines melting cake.  Our wine was Clean Slate, a 2018, Mosel, Germany, Riesling.

And the bass keeps runnin', runnin' and runnin', runnin, but that’s the bass, not us. Word on the streets is marathons are a no go for now but we got you! This week we tell stories of runners. Nydia tells the unbelievable story of Oscar Pistorius and the murder of Reeva Steenkamp. Dana tells us of women pioneers in marathon running. She shares the story of the Marathon Woman, Kathrine Switzer, the first woman to run the Boston Marathon. 

For dinner, Nydia prepared twice-baked potatoes since carb-loading is seen as a good way to fill your muscles with glycogen. She literally looked that up. She’s never run a day in her life!  Dana baked delicious giant oatmeal cookies. Not a raisin was found in any of the cookies. We shared a bottle of Chateau Souverain Chardonnay and it was a great little Chardonnay for only $8! It had a light fruity flavor with no nasty after taste. You just can’t beat it for the money.

This week we explore the theme of barbecues. Remember those? COVID 19 has robbed us of many things but barbecues can still live in our hearts. Dana shares the story of Marlene Olive and the Barbecue Murders. That's one barbecue we'll be passing on. Nydia retells us her version of the Investigative Discovery documentary, Dead North, about the horrific and gruesome tale of possible female serial killer Kelly Cochran.  

For dinner, we went with barbecue foods. Dana tried a homemade barbecue sauce recipe that she used to coat her grilled chicken with.  Nydia prepares a sure to please Oreo Fluff potluck dessert that is easy to make and looks like it took a lot of effort.  We shared a bottle of L'Umami Pinot Noir of Oregon.  At $20, this is our new favorite Pinot Noir! It was absolutely delicious and didn't leave an after taste. We really enjoyed this wine and would highly recommend it based on our unsophisticated taste buds.

The Pride Parade has been canceled but we didn’t want to forget Pride month.  This week our focus is stories about the LGBTQ+ community. There were too many stories to choose from sadly. Nydia tells us the incredibly sad story of Gwen Araujo, a beautiful, transgender teen who was murdered after a group of men learned that she was assigned male at birth. Dana shares a similar story within the Native American community. She tells us the story of Fred “Frederica” C. Martinez Jr., a two-spirit teen who was the victim of a heinous hate crime that ended his life. (This is a very graphic and triggering episode. There's your warning.)

For dinner, we decided to continue the pride theme and go with rainbow foods. Nydia prepared chicken kabobs with colorful peppers to represent the rainbow flag.  Dana wows us with a rainbow cheesecake that must be seen to be believed. We shared a bottle of Russian River Valley Chardonnay and it was to die for! At under $20, this is our new favorite Chardonnay! It’s perfectly refreshing for summer!

Since we can’t go to the theater because of COVID 19, we figured we would trash the experience by sharing some negative and terrifying theater stories that made the headlines. Brace yourselves because this week we are ruining the theater for you. Dana shares the story of the Moscow Theater Hostage Crisis and let’s just say that story didn’t bode well for theater attendees. Nydia shares the story of the Lewis Clark Valley murders and you’re going to want to punch a wall when you hear this one because the likely killer is still out there living his best life. 

For dinner, we went with the theater theme. Our foods this week stayed in the genre of movie theater snacks since Dana and Nydia are uncouth and trashy. Dana prepared some sinfully delicious nachos that will make your mouth water.  Nydia did her typical thing of phoning it in and made super easy Twix cookies.  We shared a bottle of Frontera Sauvignon Blanc and we really enjoyed the light wine. At under $20, this is a great bottle for secret beach drinking or for sneaking into the movie theater.

Wedding season is upon us, yet gathering is canceled. What’s a bride to do other than bitch about it? We got you covered. This week we ruin weddings. If you think the worst that could happen is your racist uncle getting drunk and talking trash,  strap on tight because we’re about to expose you to some of the worst wedding disasters imaginable. Nydia shares the story of The Versailles Wedding disaster, one of the deadliest civilian disasters in Jerusalem’s history. Dana shares the story of Gladys Ricart, the blushing bride who was brutally murdered on her wedding day by a jealous obsessed ex-boyfriend. 

For dinner, Nydia prepared a New York strip steak with gorgonzola butter. She claims that if steak is a wedding menu option, she will check that box off every single time. Dana wows us with a mini wedding cake because, duh, a cake is what you have at weddings. We shared a bottle of Casillero del Diablo Cabernet Sauvignon and it was amazing! At only $12, this is our new favorite Cabernet Sauvignon! Go grab a bottle today!

Organized sports are temporarily suspended due to the COVID 19 situation and some of you are bummed. That’s understandable. Gathering in large groups is a problem right now. We just have to sit and wait. However, you know what else is a problem in sports? The stories we share this week will reveal some of the tragedy and some of the humor behind the sporting events and extreme fanaticism. This week Nydia shares the story of the Estadio Nacional Disaster in Lima Peru. Some of you may not know about this, but it was the worst disaster in soccer (football) history. Dana tells us the hilarious stories of baseball promotions gone wrong. She shares the story of the West Michigan Whitecaps: Cash Dash Money Drop, Los Angeles Dodgers: Ball Night, Chicago White Sox: Disco Demolition Night, and the infamous Cleveland Indians: 10 Cent Beer Night. 

For dinner, we went with stadium foods. Dana made a delicious homemade version of the famous Cleveland Thromenator hotdog. For dessert, Nydia prepared some easy, yet tasty Chipwiches. We drank canned wine again. Remember there’s no glass allowed in the stadiums. We gave 14 Hands Winery canned Rose a try. This is not a spritzer, folks. One can is equal to a half bottle of wine!

As summer starts to rear its glorious head, we start to long for the sound of the ocean. It’s beach weather folks and with this COVID 19 situation, we have to be extra careful. How about we skip the beach this year? It’s just not safe! This week we share just how safe it’s not. Nydia tells us about the Long Island Serial Killer known in some circles as the Craigslist Killer and the Shannon Gilbert connection. She also shares an interesting update on the still-ongoing investigation. Dana talks about the still-unsolved Wanda Beach Murders. 

For dinner, we went with seafood. Nydia prepared a delicious and quick garlic butter salmon with asparagus stalks. For dessert, Dana prepared some easy, yet beautiful seashell cookies. We tried Eve Chardonnay, a 2017 Washington wine with a deliciously sweet flavor that paired well with the salmon dish.

Gym rats really had it tough during this social distancing period. With gyms closed what’s a health-conscious, muscle builder going to do? If the gyms being closed has you down, just listen to the stories we share this week. Dana tells us about George Sodini a self-proclaimed incel who perpetuated the 2009 LA Fitness shooting. Nydia tells us about the real story behind the 2013 Michael Bay film, Pain and Gain. She covers the dummies of The Sun Gym Gang and the at times hilarious, yet ultimately heinous crimes they committed. 

 

For dinner, we went with a healthy approach. Dana prepared a pulled pork, black beans, and coleslaw combo. What’s healthy about that? Listen and find out. For dessert, Nydia made chocolate covered bananas.  I mean it’s healthier than ice cream.  This week we went with canned wine. Movo 100 calorie wine spritzers in peach white blend, blood orange sangria, and raspberry rose. We at Wine, Dine, and Storytime really enjoy canned wine from time to time and these are perfect.
