In this podcast episode, we discuss Sarah Wondra's charges that have been dismissed in the Michael Vaughan case

It's been over a year since Michael Vaughn went missing from his family home.  Tips lead police to the home of a neighbor, Sarah Wondra. The 35-year-old was charged with failure to report the death of 5-year-old Vaughan.  Police then spent more than a week excavating the home's backyard and have now announced their findings.  FPD Chief JD Huff says police  believe Vaughan's body was buried in  Wondra's backyard and then moved to another location.  All the cadaver dogs used in the search "alerted" in the yard. Ground penetrating radar also detected "anomalies."  Additional evidence was found  in the home, but that information is not yet being released.   Huff also announced the identities of two other people thought to have knowledge in  Vaughan's disappearance,  Brandon Shurtliff, 30,  and Adrien Lucienne, 32. Both men are now out of state.   Shurtliff and Lucienne were staying with the Wondras' home.   The search for Michael Vaugh's body continues.  Joining Nancy Grace Today: Dale Carson - High Profile Attorney (Jacksonville), Former FBI Agent, Former Police Officer (Miami-Dade County), Author: "Arrest-Proof Yourself, DaleCarsonLaw.com  BethanyMarshall.com, New Netflix show: 'Bling Empire' (Beverly Hills)    Joe Scott Morgan - Professor of Forensics: Jacksonville State University, Author, "Blood Beneath My Feet", Host: "Body Bags with Joseph Scott Morgan" Robert Crispin - Private Investigator, Former Federal Task Force Officer for United States Department of Justice, DEA and Miami Field Division, Former Homicide and Crimes Against Children Investigator, “Crispin Special Investigations” CrispinInvestigations.com, Facebook: Crispin Special Investigations, Inc.  Sydney Sumner - Crime Online Investigative Reporter See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We are so excited to welcome guest, Laurie Wondra of Your Life Core.  Laurie's earliest memories are of talking with Archangel Michael in the hallways of school when she was in 2nd grade.  In 4th grade, she began to channel and write with the help of a lovely ‘green energy' that later became known to her as Archangel Gabriel and the Collective Light.   For as long as she remembers she's been able to see loved ones that have crossed over.  Today she uses these gifts as a clear channel while working with people from all over the world to help them connect with their loved ones, angels, and guides.   Her ability to tune into the varying frequencies of the universe allow her to share this information and insight about past, present and future. Listen as she shares her wisdom and stories of connection!

Aaron and John spent many years working overnight producing a newscast together, and have a lot of stories to share... some of which gets weird. We discuss the isolation that comes with working  odd hours, and what we learned from working the graveyard shift. There are plenty of positives and negatives that come with working with the vampires, and there are several things that made us better people in life. Add in the rush that comes with working in broadcast news, and there's several life lessons learned, camaraderie gained, and crazy stories to share. Then, we dive into  the recent hate crimes against Asians, and death of a young black Texas man while in police custody (the latter of which happened in John and Denison's hometown), all from the perspective of journalists. Discussion includes in-depth analysis on the handling of these stories by the national media, how COVID may have played a role in these crimes, and much more.

When the disciples asked Jesus how to pray, they got the 'Our Father.' When people asked the assemblers of the Book of Common Prayer how to pray, they got something nearly as memorable: the Collects. Collects are short prayers and a distinctive part of Anglican worship, liturgy, and theology. Episcopalians have long subscribed to the conviction of 'lex orandi, lex credendi' or 'praying shapes believing.' This means that the way we pray carries great significance.

If you haven't heard, Automattic is embarking on a new challenge to make remote work easier for small teams and organizations. They're starting with a tool called Happy Schedule, part of a larger suite aptly named, Happy Tools.

WPTavern covered the launch back in April and coincidently Matt Mullenweg launched a new podcast called Distributed, which would be a great marketing channel for the offering, I'd say.

For this week’s Please Explain, James Peterson stops by to talk sauces. He’s an award-winning food writer, cookbook author, photographer and cooking teacher who started his career as a restaurant cook in Paris in the 1970s. His book, Sauces: Classical and Contemporary Sauce Making, has just been released in its fourth edition. James will answer all of our burning sauce-related queries – from béarnaise and hollandaise, to bolognese, crème anglaise, and everything in between.  Check out some of James Peterson's sauce recipes below! SAUCE BÉCHAMEL The amount of roux per given amount of milk depends on the use of the sauce. Thick  versions,  used  as  the  base  thickener  in  traditional  soufflé  recipes,  often  call  for  as  much  as  8  ounces  (250  grams)  of  roux  per  quart  (liter)  of  milk,  whereas  béchamel-based  soups  use  approximately  2  ounces  (60  grams)  per  quart  (liter)  of  milk. This recipe produces a medium-thick sauce, appropriate for vegetable gratins. YIELD: 1 QUART (1 LITER) INGREDIENTS                                                                    milk           1 quart                  1 liter butter        3 ounces              90 grams flour          ¹⁄³ cup                  80 milliliters seasonings (salt, pepper, nutmeg; optional)      to taste                to taste 1. Bring  the  milk  to  a  simmer  in  a  2-quart  (2  liter)  saucepan.  Whisk  it  from  time  to  time  to  prevent  a  skin  from  forming  on  its  surface  (see  Note). 2. In a second 2-quart (2 liter) saucepan, gently melt the butter and add the flour. Stir the butter and flour over medium heat for about 2 minutes, until the flour has a pleasant, toasty smell. (A) Remove from the heat for about 30 seconds to cool slightly. 3. Whisk the simmering milk into the roux.  Return the sauce to the stove and bring it back to a simmer while whisking. (B) 4. Once  the  sauce  has  returned  to  a  slow  simmer, turn down the heat and move the saucepan so  that  only  one  side  is  over  the  flame.  (This will cause a skin to form on only one side of the sauce’s surface, making it easy to skim.) Cook the sauce gently for 30 minutes to 1 hour, skimming off the skin. It is a good idea also to occasionally rub around the bottom and corners of the sauce-pan  with  a  wooden  spoon  to  prevent  the  sauce  from scalding. 5. When the starchy taste has cooked out of the sauce, it can be seasoned and strained, depending on its final use.  Béchamel should be stirred while it is cooling to prevent a skin from forming on its surface. Putting the pan over a tray of ice will, of course, speed cooling. Note: Some chefs do not first bring the milk to a simmer and instead pour cold milk, all at once, over the roux.  This  method  saves  time—and  a  pot—but  be  sure  to  whisk  the  sauce  vigorously  to prevent lumps and skin from forming. VARIATIONS Use a pretreated flour such as Wondra.  Simply  mix the  Wondra  (the  same  amount  as  flour  called for in the traditional recipe) in cold water until  smooth  (make  a  slurry).  Bring the milk to a simmer. Whisk in the slurry. Simmer until the sauce thickens. It should be smooth, but just in case, work it through a chinois. While béchamel is a fairly stable sauce, there are times  (especially  if  the  flour  is  old)  when  it  will  break.  To avoid this, blend hydrocolloids into the finished sauce.  Lambda  carrageenan  lends  an  authentic  dairy-like  mouthfeel  to  the  sauce  and  is  easy  to  use.  Start by adding 1%  lambda  carrageenan to the sauce and build up as needed to get the thickness you want.   James Peterson's cauliflower gratin. (Courtesy James Peterson)   CAULIFLOWER GRATIN Béchamel  derivatives,  especially  Mornay  sauce,  make  excellent  toppings  for  gratins  because  they  brown  and  become  extremely  aromatic.  Practically any  vegetable can be pre-cooked slightly and then baked while covered with sauce. YIELD: 6 SERVINGS INGREDIENTS                                                                    cauliflower, 1 large bunch or 2 small bunches mornay sauce (SEE BELOW)                 1 quart                               1 liter grated gruyère or similar cheese          1½ cups                              180 grams 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).  Cut the cauliflower into florets. Boil for about 5 minutes. Drain and transfer to a gratin dish just large enough to hold the cauliflower in a single layer. 2. Ladle the Mornay sauce in an even layer over the cauliflower. (A) 3. Sprinkle the cheese over the gratin.  (B)  Bake  until  a  golden  crust  forms  on  top,  about  30  minutes. SAUCE MORNAY Sauce  Mornay  is  usually  used  as  the  base  for  cheese  soufflés  or  for  gratins.  When  it  is  used  for  gratins,  additional  cheese  and  sometimes  breadcrumbs  and  butter  are  added  to  its  surface  to  encourage  the  formation  of  a  crust.  Sauce Mornay is made by adding grated cheese to sauce béchamel. Be sure to choose a full-flavored, well-aged cheese for this sauce. If the cheese is too young, the sauce will not only lack flavor but will be stringy. Classic  recipes  use  half  grated  Gruyère  and  half  grated  Parmesan  (at  least  three-year-old  Parmigiano-Reggiano),  but  the  sauce  can  be  made  with  other  well-aged,  honest  cheese.  English farmhouse Cheddar and Vermont Cheddar (not the commercial kind that has been dyed orange) both work well. Blue cheeses can also be incorporated into Mornay sauces, but be sure to taste and select them carefully to avoid some of the poor-quality  versions  that  have  a  coarse,  sour-milk  smell  and  flavor.  Select genuine Roquefort, Stilton, Gorgonzola, Fourme d’Ambert, or Bleu d’Auvergne. Keep in mind that blue cheeses tend to make sauces a bit gray. To  prepare  Sauce  Mornay,  add  approximately  4  ounces  (115  to  125  grams)  cheese  per quart (liter) of béchamel. Stir the sauce just long enough for the cheese to melt; over-cooking the cheese can cause it to turn stringy. Some recipes call for finishing Mornay with egg yolks (about 2 per quart/liter of sauce). This is useful if the sauce is being used as a base for cheese soufflé, but otherwise the yolks contribute little to the sauce except unnecessary richness. At times, if the cheese is too young, a Sauce Mornay may break. To avoid this, you can  blend  hydrocolloid  stabilizers  (0.15%  percent  xanthan  gum  and  1%  lambda  carrageenan) into the béchamel before adding the cheese.

Dave Arnold and Nastassia jump right in this week to a listener’s question about his outdoor barbecue in Sweden and Dave gives a million suggestions for improvements (outdoor deep fryer). We also discuss various techniques and products for dissolving a white film on a juicer and find out why pressure cookers that don’t vent produce a better stock. Later on Dave answers a listener question about substituting beef fat for suet and we find out the difference between Ultrasperse and Wondra. This program was brought to you by MolecularRecipes.com. “Pressure cooker stocks come out browner than regular stocks” [25:00] “When I’m cooking with extremely spicy peppers I always lick the utensil or tool I was using after it gets washed to make sure its no longer spicy and was washed correctly” [51:00] “Get the widest container you have and pour your stock into a very thin layer. It will cool more quickly this way.” [59:00] –Dave Arnold on Cooking Issues

We’ve got a pork-filled episode of Cooking Issues this week! Dave Arnold and Nastassia Lopez are back again, and they’re talking about the many uses for country ham. Tune in for Dave talking about country ham has a seasoning meat as opposed to a central protein. Hear callers ask Dave about smoking and cooking a pig head using low-temperature techniques! Other topics include vacuum distillation, and the uses for Wondra flour! Dave wraps up the show with some dessert suggestions. Learn about non-dairy ice cream and making lemon curd! This episode has been brought to you by The International Culinary Center. “The definition of forever is two people and a country ham.” [7:30] “The benefit of Wondra being pre-gelatinized is that it will go into solution in a cold liquid.” [31:00] — Dave Arnold on Cooking Issues

On today's THE FOOD SEEN, Scott Heimendinger, aka The Seattle Food Geek, brings the schools of science and cooking together via Modernist Cuisine at Home, a cookbook that will change the way you think about food. For Scott, a scientific background (IBM, Microsoft) combined with the chance encounter of a slow-poached sous-vide egg at Maria Hines' Tilth restaurant, emulsified his past skill set with kitchen intrigue, guiding him to his latest job as, Director of Applied Research for Modernist Cuisine at The Cooking Lab. From the must have countertop tools and conventional cooking gear, to stocking up on a “Modernist” pantry, this episode will give you all the insight into the wonders of Wondra flour, how to fry the best chicken wings, making the meltiest cheese with sodium citrate, and will still have you craving for more of the over 400 recipes! This episode has been sponsored by Fairway Market. “It can't be right because somebody said so or because that's how its' always been don.e The numbers need to add up and the equation needs to be balanced. Being a scientist of any kind can make you more rigorous as a cook.” [10:00] “It turns out that teaspoons and tablespoons are not very precise!” [24:00] “There's no reason to think informal food deserves any less treatment than formal foods. We have an entire chapter on chicken wings in Modernist Cuisine at Home.” [34:00] — Scott Heimendinger on THE FOOD SEEN
