West Coast Cookbook and Speakeasy - Smothered Benedict Wednesdays 28 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, a White House aide testified Trump wanted blanket pardons for everyone involved in the January 6 insurrection.Then, on the rest of the menu, Republicans distorted crime data to win elections, but it didn't work; the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration wants to know why Tesla has stopped reporting its Autopilot safety numbers online; and, monster waves, high tides and gale-force winds that battered Oregon and Washington led to fatal crashes, power outages and flooded homes.After the break, we move to the Chef’s Table where about two hundred women are still in prison in Mexico under outdated anti-abortion state laws, even though the Supreme Court decriminalized abortion last year; and, pre-Christmas weapons inspections in a small town in northern Greece has turned up hand grenades, assault rifles and decades-old unexploded ordnance.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 & LinksBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/west-coast-cookbook-speakeasy--2802999/support.
