Still Life with Cookbooks, Berkeley, California / copyright Justice Putnam — "I was never a spy. I was with the OSS organization. We had a number of women, but we were all office help." -- Julia Child

Today’s West Coast Cookbook & Speakeasy Podcast for our especially special Daily Special, River City Hash Mondays is now available on the Spreaker Player!

Starting off in the Bistro Cafe, Ice Barbie Kristi Noem has landed in legal jeopardy after admitting on live TV of brazenly defying a judge’s order.

Then, on the rest of the menu, a Portland, Oregon man with previous stalking convictions has been arraigned for harassing the parent of a Sandy Hook victim; in nearly all of the examples Judge Ellis cited in her 200-plus page opinion, “the Department of Homeland Security narrative contradicts the reality of what can be seen on agents' body-worn cameras;” and, Northwestern is the latest institution to go Vichy after agreeing to pay $75 million in a Faustian deal with Trump to restore federal funding.

After the break, we move to the Chef’s Table where Wall Street is poised to give back some of last week’s gains with oil prices surging and anything related to cryptocurrency tanking; and, the president of the International Criminal Court said that it will not bow to pressure from the United States and Russia.

All that and more, on West Coast Cookbook & Speakeasy with Chef de Cuisine Justice Putnam.

Bon Appétit!

Question: Who is your audience? What are you here for?

Answer: Tribal Alliances, Heart-felt Convictions, Passionate Reason, Random Abandon, Sustainable Civility and a kiss; to comfort the sad and the mad Ones; the Ones roaming the International section of the American Supermarket at night; or roaming the neglected streets looking for an angry malaprop to sink their teeth into; the Ones who seek without seeking and learn as much as they teach; the Ones who embrace and kiss and embrace again; the Ones who sing the song of the city and the ballads of the forest; the Ones who chant the rhythm of the sea and hum the melody of the desert; the Ones who sing the prayer of Her name and Her name is the World. Yes, those are the Ones. -- JP
