West Coast Cookbook and Speakeasy - Smothered Benedict Wednesdays 24 Aug 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, new reporting shows the extent, and sometimes even exclusivity of Donald Trump's role in stealing sensitive documents from the White House.Then, on the rest of the menu, responding to an increasing number of violent right wing threats to its workers, the Internal Revenue Service announced that it was conducting a comprehensive safety review at its facilities; a federal jury convicted two men of plotting to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer; and, an English teacher at a high school in Oklahoma was fired after she provided students with a QR code for free access to e-books from the Brooklyn Library.After the break, we move to the Chef’s Table where two top officials of Hungary’s meteorological service were fired after an inaccurate rain forecast; and, women around the world are dancing in solidarity with Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin.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/2022/8/24/2118427/-West-Coast-Cookbook-amp-Speakeasy-Daily-Special-Smothered-Benedict-WednesdaysBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/west-coast-cookbook-speakeasy--2802999/support.
