West Coast Cookbook and Speakeasy - Smothered Benedict Wednesdays 28 Sept 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, even though Giorgia Meloni and Steve Bannon share great glee in attacking immigrants, minorities and democratic norms, while also pushing the racist, anti-semitic "Great Replacement Theory," Meloni’s neo-fascist Mussolini party still thought Bannon was too fascist for them.Then, on the rest of the menu, the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office stripped forty-seven deputies of their firearms and California peace officer duties after an internal audit revealed they failed their psychological evaluations; American interstates are going to get a lot friendlier to EVs; and, millions of Americans will save on Medicare fees next year.After the break, we move to the Chef’s Table where the British pound plunged to a record low against the soaring dollar, prompting defeatist memes about the world’s sixth-largest economy; and, European leaders believe the dual explosions that damaged the Nord Stream gas pipeline were deliberate, and some officials blamed the Kremlin for the “sabotage.”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/2022/9/28/2125688/-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.
