Fried Mushrooms with Smoked Paprika Remoulade




Ingredients

For the fried mushrooms
2 cups Panko/breadcrumbs
6 Tbsp flat-leaf parsley leaves
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup buttermilk
Zest of 1 lemon
10 button mushrooms, stems removed and sliced 1/4-inch thick
1 pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/3 cup olive or canola oil for frying

Smoked Paprika Remoulade


Ingredients


1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 Tbsp cornichons, capers, or tart pickles, finely diced
1 tsp whole-grain mustard
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste



Fried Mushroom Directions
 

1. To prepare the fried mushrooms, combine the panko and parsley in the bowl of a food processor, then pulse until finely ground. If you've just washed your parsley, dry it before adding it to the food processor.


2. Set up a "breading" station with three low bowls. In the first bowl, add flour. In the second, add buttermilk. In the third, add the panko/parsley mixture, then stir in lemon zest and season with salt and pepper. Dunk the mushrooms into each bowl, covering them with flour, then buttermilk, then the panko/parsley mixture. Place the breaded mushrooms aside until ready to be fried.


3. In a skillet, heat the oil until simmering. Fry the mushrooms in batches over medium to high heat, turning them, until golden and crispy, about 3 minutes total -- a fish spatula works well to flip the mushrooms without tearing the breading. Drain the mushrooms on a paper towel-lined plate, and sprinkle with salt. 

To keep the mushrooms warm, transfer them to a baking sheet -- fried mushrooms can be held in an oven at 225º F for 20 to 30 minutes.


Smoked Paprika Remoulade Directions 


To prepare the smoked paprika remoulade, combine the mayonnaise, cornichons, mustard, smoked paprika, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl, then mix until combined.

Book Review: THE CAREGIVER'S GAME:

 



Buy The Caregiver's Game on Amazon!


Joell Fleming, victim of elder fraud

Author Charles 'Chip' Wallace, Jr.

Independent and feisty octogenarian Joell Fleming begins to show early signs of dementia while living far from her family, who offer their support from a distance. Unbeknownst to her, Joell becomes a target for a manipulative caregiver who exploits her condition, stealing her money, heirlooms, and cherished family legacy—all while the uncertainties caused by the COVID pandemic obscure the caregiver's actions.


After Joell's passing, her children uncover the devastating truth of their losses. Her son, Charles, embarks on a passionate investigation to uncover the events of the final years of his mother’s life. In this compelling narrative, author Charles E. Wallace, Jr. exposes the flaws of those involved and the missed warning signs, all while tracing the web of deception created by the deceitful caregiver.


The Caregiver’s Game: Unraveling Financial Deceit in the Shadows of Dementia serves as a crucial alarm for us all. Our elderly loved ones—grandparents, parents, and relatives—are vulnerable to unscrupulous individuals seeking to exploit them. The warning signs can be subtle and often go unnoticed by family members who trust caregivers, leading them to miss the unfolding situation. With June designated as Elder Abuse Awareness Month, let us take this powerful tale to heart and work together to safeguard those most at risk—our loved ones battling dementia and Alzheimer's. 


Believing how terribly important and overlooked this topic is, I featured this book on my podcast and interviewed Charles Wallace, who offered valuable insights on how to prevent similar incidents in the future.

EP 171: LISTEN TO JILL'S INTERVIEW WITH WILLIAM 'BILL' NOGUERA!


Mug Shot: Joseph Naso, convicted serial killer



This gripping true crime thriller captivates readers with its chilling uniqueness. William A. Noguera, a former death row inmate and author, takes us on a profound journey through his 42 years of incarceration. 


Presented through the eyes of a convicted murderer who faces life without parole, Noguera confronts his past, seeking repentance for a hasty, emotion-driven murder committed at just 18 years old. Decades later, 79-year-old serial killer Joseph Naso enters death row, requiring assistance under the Americans with Disabilities Act, and Noguera steps up to help. Over the course of the next ten years, through his keen insight into psychology and criminal behavior, Noguera earns Naso’s trust, leading to shocking revelations about uncharged murders from Naso’s past. 


What unfolds is a suspenseful narrative where William Noguera navigates the treacherous waters of prison life while risking his safety to meticulously document every detail Naso divulges. This remarkably powerful book offers an extraordinary glimpse into the mind of a serial killer, secrets never revealed to law enforcement, criminal psychologists, or the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit, allowing readers to explore the complex psyche rarely seen in such depth. It’s an unparalleled exploration that keeps you on the edge of your seat, both horrified and intrigued by each revelation. I highly recommend this book for its authenticity, tenacity, and unflinching exposure of the evil within the minds of the serial killer as never before seen, making it a perfect summer read!

Laithwaite Wine Club's Alessandro Gallici Prosecco




Prettiest bottle too!


Dallas's CLASSIC TEX-MEX QUESO 




INGREDIENTS!


2 tablespoons unsalted butter

½ medium onion chopped, about ½ cup

2 jalapeños fresh, seeded and chopped (removing the seeds and ribs decreases the heat significantly)

3 cloves garlic minced

1 tablespoon Serrano chiles pickled, (optional)

1 cup cherry tomatoes halved

1 13 oz. can evaporated milk

2 tablespoon corn starch

1 cup water

½ lb American cheese yellow, grated

½ lb American cheese white, grated

1 teaspoon ground cumin

¼ teaspoon onion powder

¼ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground

½ teaspoon Kosher salt

1 4.5 oz can green chiles

1 tablespoon cilantro fresh, chopped

Pico de Gallo for garnish

Tortilla chips for dipping


DIRECTIONS


1. Heat the unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

2. Add the onion, jalapeños, and garlic and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.

3. Add the pickled Serrano peppers (if using) and tomatoes, and cook just until tomatoes begin to break down, about 3 more minutes.

4. In a medium bowl, add the corn starch to the evaporated milk and whisk until dissolved and incorporated. Whisk in the water and add it to the veggies in the skillet.

5. Stir with a wooden spoon until just starting to thicken.

6. Add in the cheese and stir until completely melted.

7. Stir in the cumin, onion powder, pepper, salt, green chilies, and cilantro. Bring to just a simmer and let cook for a couple of minutes.

8. Transfer to a warmed bowl or small slow-cooker and top with Fresh Pico de Gallo and warmed tortilla chips.
