West Coast Cookbook and Speakeasy - Smothered Benedict Wednesdays 07 Dec 22

West Coast Cookbook & Speakeasy is Now Open! 8am-9am PT/ 11am-Noon ET for our especially special Daily Specials, Smothered Benedict Wednesdays!Starting off in the Bistro Cafe, according to Ron DeSantis’ own definition, most of the country is “woke.”Then, on the rest of the menu, farmers of color sued the government for promised federal aid; a federal judge ordered a nationwide slaughterhouse cleaning company not to hire minors; and, the House ethics panel fined Madison Cawthorn over $15,000 for promoting cryptocurrency.After the break, we move to the Chef’s Table where Russian mercenaries from the Wagner Group are accused of using violence to corner the African diamond trade; and, thousands of police carried out a series of raids across Germany against far-right extremists who sought to overthrow the state by force, with a little help from Putin.All that and more, on West Coast Cookbook & Speakeasy with Chef de Cuisine Justice Putnam.Bon Appétit!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"To those of us who believe that all of life is sacred every crumb of bread and sip of wine is a Eucharist, a remembrance, a call to awareness of holiness right where we are. I want all of the holiness of the Eucharist to spill out beyond church walls, out of the hands of priests and into the regular streets and sidewalks, into the hands of regular, grubby people like you and me, onto our tables, in our kitchens and dining rooms and backyards.” -- Shauna Niequist "Bread and Wine: A Love Letter to Life Around the Table with Recipes"~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Show Notes & Links:https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2022/12/7/2140467/-West-Coast-Cookbook-Speakeasy-Daily-Special-Smothered-Benedict-WednesdaysBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/west-coast-cookbook-speakeasy--2802999/support.
