West Coast Cookbook and Speakeasy - Metro Shrimp and Grits Thursdays 17 Nov 22.mp3

West Coast Cookbook & Speakeasy is Now Open! 8am-9am PT/ 11am-Noon ET for our especially special Daily Specials, Metro Shrimp & Grits Thursdays!Starting off in the Bistro Cafe, the Republican party is “in ruin.”Then, on the rest of the menu, two Republicans who control the elected board in a rural Arizona county have sued their own elections director to force a greatly expanded hand-count of ballots, that could affect certification of the results; a key Federal Reserve official suggested the central bank will likely slow the pace of its interest rate hikes beginning in December; and, the Energy Department awarded nearly $74 million from the bipartisan infrastructure law to advance recycling and reuse of batteries for electric vehicles.After the break, we move to the Chef’s Table where a federal judge handed down a 20-year prison sentence to a Chinese national who was convicted in a US aviation spying case; and, a Cambodia wildlife official has been jailed in New York for monkey smuggling.All that and more, on West Coast Cookbook & Speakeasy with Chef de Cuisine Justice Putnam.Bon Appétit!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~“Everyone in this good city enjoys the full right to pursue his own inclinations in all reasonable and, unreasonable ways.” -- The Daily Picayune, New Orleans, March 5, 1851~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Show Notes & Links:https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2022/11/17/2136747/-West-Coast-Cookbook-Speakeasy-Daily-Special-Metro-Shrimp-Grits-ThursdaysBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/west-coast-cookbook-speakeasy--2802999/support.
