Welcome to another spine-chilling episode of Dinner and Drama with Kristin and Drew! In this gruesome pre-halloween installment appropriately titled "The Body Harvester - The Story of Michael Mastromarino," we delve into the dark and macabre tale of a former dentist turned tissue harvester or as the court would later find - a modern day grave robber!
Join us as we unravel the downward spiral of Michael Mastromarino, a man whose descent into a world of drugs, greed, and speed led to a series of deeply disturbing and questionable actions, ultimately culminating in his arrest and the uncovering of dozens of crimes.
We'll guide you through the shockingly intricate web of events that transpired from his unlikely career shift to the disturbing realities of his tissue harvesting operation.
What led Michael Mastromarino down this ominous path? How did his actions impact the lives of countless others? And why did ethics and morality take a backseat to greed and ambition?
Prepare for an episode that delves into the darkest corners of human nature and a business market you probably never knew existed. Tune in, grab an apron and sit tight for a dramatic exploration of a story that's as shocking as it is unsettling.

Welcome to another intriguing albeit always odd episode of Dinner and Drama with your hosts, Kristin and Drew! In this episode, we dive headfirst into the world of micro conspiracy theories, where fact and fiction blur.
First on our conspiracy agenda: the odd theory that questions the true identity of Queen Elizabeth the First. Was she truly a woman, or was there more to her reign than meets the eye? We'll explore the evidence, or lack thereof, behind this odd conspiracy.
But that's just the beginning! We then travel to the murky depths (no we aren't talking about Kristin's nether region) of Loch Ness, where the legend of the Loch Ness Monster looms large. Is Nessie a figment of imagination, a grand hoax, or could there be some sliver of truth lurking beneath the waves? We'll plunge into the depths of this iconic cryptid legend and separate fact from fantasy.
Next, we're off to the mile-high mystery of the Denver International Airport. With its massive budget, underground secret tunnels, enigmatic artwork, and the infamous blue horse sculpture with its menacing red burning eyes that YES actually killed its creator, this airport has sparked a multitude of conspiracy theories.
So, join Kristin and Drew as they serve up a tantalizing platter of micro conspiracy theories, delving into the fascinating realms of history, legend, and modern mysteries. It's a feast for the curious mind, sprinkled with a dash of drama, and it's all right here on Dinner and Drama. Tune in for a rollercoaster that will leave you questioning the boundaries between fact and fiction. You decide...

INGREDIENTS:
CAKE:
3 medium apples
1/2 medium lemon- zested and juiced- (store separately
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
9 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 to 2 tablespoons demerara (raw) sugar
WHIPPED CREAM:
2 cups cold heavy cream
4 teaspoons granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Pre-heat the oven to 350°F. Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment
paper; set aside.
2. Peel, core, and quarter the apples.
3. Thinly slice each quarter lengthwise without cutting all the way through to the core side,
leaving the quarter hinged together like a fan.
4. To the bowl of a stand mixer add lemon zest, sugar and butter.
5. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of
the bowl with a rubber spatula.
6. Add the vanilla and 1 of the eggs. Beat until combined before adding the second egg.

quarters into the batter, core-side down, leaving only a small space between each quarter.
10. If you have any apple left over, separate the slices and insert them into any open space
available.
11. Sprinkle the top evenly with the demerara sugar.
12. Bake for 20 minutes. Rotate the pan and continue baking until the cake is golden-brown

A love triangle...or maybe it was a heptagon? Everything is bigger in Texas so probably the later! This story has lots of twists and turns...literally ending in a turn of a steering wheel to cause the murder of a husband and father. Join us on this episode of Dinner and Drama with Kristin & Drew as we explore the story of Clara Harris, a well-off dentist in the suburbs of Houston Texas, who was betrayed by her equally well-off dentist husband who was found to be cheating on her with a newly hired co-worker. This story includes everything you've come to expect from a murder drama: A private investigator who is hired by not one, not two, but three of the characters in this drama, a pair of alleged lesbians doing lesbian things (you know going to the mall), a cheating husband, a grieving daughter, and of course an enraged wife who committed a crime in a fit of passion. Join us for the Mercedes Mow-down!

Directions:
Start with a dozen or so Cherry tomatoes and drizzle with olive oil and S&P - Roast at 375 for 20 minutes until they start to split.
For the Sauce:
I used British back bacon- but you can use pancetta, maybe 2 thick slices, chopped.
2 cloves of garlic
2 shallots chopped
1-1/2 cup cream
1/4 cup of grated parm,
peas
chopped baby spinach
Roasted tomato
Add pancetta to a hot pan, cook until semi-crispy, add the garlic and shallots and sauté until translucent.
Add the cream and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, add in the parm and spinach, let cook at a gentle simmer. Salt and pepper to taste. Add peas toward the end - you want them to still be bright green when you serve.
Cook some fresh pasta until slightly less than al dente - I used tagliatelle, but linguine would work- whatever you have is fine.
For the Scallops:
10 large sea scallops. Dry them on a plate between paper towels for like… 6 hours. You want them DRY.
In a cast iron pan or some other non- Teflon pan, with heat on high add a thin layer of grape seed oil or other non-flavored oil. Get it REALLY hot. Salt and pepper scallops and place them evenly spaced in screaming hot pan. Then chill out. Don’t touch those scallops as much as you WANT to- DON’T DO IT.
Cook 3-4 minutes. At 3 minutes you can gently try to move the first scallop you put in the pan with tongs. If it is sticking at all…leave it for another minute and try again. They will release from the pan when they are good and ready and not before.
Turn scallops over and repeat the process in the other side. Check at 3 minutes. You want a GOOD dark sear. Remove from pan and set aside.
Once your sauce is combined, add your cooked pasta to the pan of sauce. Coat pasta with sauce and serve into a bowl- top with the seared scallops…
Strap bowl to face and enjoy. -
