The cork pops. The lights dim. Someone gasps.

Wine, Dine & Death is back.

Round Three awaits, and the plot has thickened nicely.

On Saturday, October 10, 2026, The Little Theatre of Walla Walla once again transforms Whitman’s Reid Center into a stage where secrets breathe, and suspects sip cabernet with suspicious enthusiasm.

This year, the mystery turns a literary page. Think towering tales, notorious authors, and threads of Walla Walla history stitched into the storyline like a well-placed clue. The setting remains as charming as ever. The crime is entirely new.

Your evening includes:

• Exceptional local wines that swirl with character
• A gourmet multi-course dinner worthy of a dramatic monologue
• Two rounds of silent auction intrigue
• A paddle raise where generosity takes center stage

It is elegance with an alibi. Suspense with a sommelier. A night where every bid fuels the spotlight and every glass poured supports the stories still waiting to be told.

Mark your calendar. Polish your detective skills. And prepare for an evening where the only thing richer than the wine is the plot.

Fried Mushrooms with Smoked Paprika Remoulade

Thank you Emily C for your recipes! 

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.


Thank you Emily C for your recipes!

Book Review: THE CAREGIVER'S GAME:

 

Buy The Caregiver's Game on Amazon!

Elder Justice, National Center on Elder Abuse

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.
