*The Trader Vic Mai Tai *
1oz Fresh Squeezed Lime Juice
½ oz Orange Curacao
¼ oz Orgeat
¼ oz Simple Syrup
1oz dark rum (Jamaican if possible)
1 oz Gold rum (Martinique)
Shake well with plenty of crushed Ice
Pour into double Old Fashioned glass
Sink half of a spent lime into the glass
Garnish with mint
*The Don Beach Mai Tai* is more complex as it is more spice and herb based.
1 1/2 oz Myer's Plantation Rum, (or Appleton - Funky)
1 oz Cuban Rum (gold)
1/2 oz Cointreau
1 dash Pernod
1/4 oz falernum, (sweet syrup)
1 oz grapefruit juice
3/4 oz lime juice
2 dashes Angostura Bitters
1 cup cracked ice
Combine rum, Cointreau, Falernum, grapefruit juice, lime juice, bitters, pernod, and cracked ice into a cocktail shaker and shake vigorously like 30 or 40 good shakes. Strain into an old fashioned glass over shaved or crushed ice. Garnish with a sprig of mint.

Trader Joes or Aldi both have excellent pineapple juice.
1 Oz Coconut Cream
2oz Gold Rum
6 dashes Angostura Bitters
Plenty of Crushed Ice

Ray welcomes back Father Robert Sirico to talk about his latest book The Economics of the Parables. As an economist sitting in the church pews, Ray long has been struck by how much Jesus talks about markets, trading, business, and investing in his parables, but he never quite heard anyone deal with this adequately, including explaining why, from the pulpit, or for that matter, in a book, until this book by Father Sirico. Tune in for this fascinating conversation.

Episode #104: Freedom, Notre Dame, the Church, Politics and a New Book
Ray Keating talks about different aspects of his new book, Under the Golden Dome: A Pastor Stephen Grant Novel, including why much of the book is set at the University of Notre Dame, and the ideas underlying the conflict in the story. Regarding that debate, much of it focuses on freedom of religion, and those who want to unite the Church and politics. But don’t worry, a thrilling, fun story with interesting characters isn’t lost to some kind of over-powering impulse to preach and hit people over the head with a two-by-four.

Episode #34: 5 Points on the Amy Coney Barrett Supreme Court Pick
Ray Keating sorts through the ugly politics on both sides of the political aisle when it comes to the Amy Coney Barrett nomination to the Supreme Court. While acknowledging that she likely would be a fine addition to the Court, Keating also addresses the issue that ultimately frustrates those of us who desire a Court that is not activist but instead one that properly interprets and applies the Constitution. That problem is stare decisis, or elevating precedent to the same level as, or even above, the Constitution and the law. Keating hopes that Justice Barrett will follow Justice Clarence Thomas, but he has his doubts.

Like Veith’s book, the two cover a lot of ground. But Ray likes the fact that Veith is a Christian who argues for engaging the world, no matter how rough things might seem, rather than retreating from it, which seems to be the preference among far too many Christians these days.

Episode #4: Ray Gets Cranky without Sports, and with Dumb Ideas for Baseball
Ray Keating gets a bit cranky in this episode of the PRESS CLUB C Podcast. He kicks off complaining about yardwork, and the lack of pro sports during the shutdown. But he gets hopeful with talk about NASCAR returning to the track, the NHL looking at ways to hit the ice, and most importantly, rumors about the return of baseball. But he ends up cranky again as he criticizes an article from CBS Sports serving up 10 dumb ideas that baseball should consider during a COVID-19-shortened season. Keating says, “No, MLB shouldn’t consider these ideas, well, at least eight of those ideas should be off the table.”
(I apologize for a few sound issues popping up in this one, but you can still hear all of my ranting - for better or worse! - Ray)

And then as a sports-starved fan, Ray gets downright emotional thinking about the upcoming NFL Draft 2020, and then winds up ranting about his Minnesota Vikings.

In this episode, Ray Keating looks at some of the pros and cons - the potential positives and negatives - for authors when it comes to choosing between going with a traditional, small publisher or going the indie author and publisher route. Keating clearly leans in the direction of being an indie author, by the way, following in the footsteps of Walt Whitman. Keating argues if indie publishing was good enough for Whitman in the 19th century, then it makes more sense today given the technology available to authors in the 21st century.
