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, the seditious conspiracy verdict in the Oath Keeper trial gives the Department of Justice a “stronger hand” in future cases.Then, on the rest of the menu, Portland, Oregon settled a federal lawsuit over its police use of tear gas and other crowd control weapons; a panel of three federal judges heard closing arguments on whether South Carolina’s heavily gerrymandered US congressional maps are legal; and, journalists with the Fort Worth Star-Telegram newspaper continued their strike, claiming that parent company McClatchy has refused to bargain in good faith over a new contract.After the break, we move to the Chef’s Table where the head of the International Monetary Fund urged China to end its mass lockdowns; and, a prominent Polish judge has been reinstated amid a standoff with the European Union over judicial independence.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/2022/11/30/2139129/-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.
