New taco bar to debut in downtown Dallas with rare crunchy delicacy
The dish is called the tostada raspada, and is from Zapotlanejo, the town in Jalisco where founder/owner Andrea Hermosillo grew up.
"It's mostly a dish that's made in restaurants," Hermosillo says. "It's a tortilla that's fried, made with a special tool that only makes these kinds of tostadas. It forms a big oval disc that you top with beans, cheese, and salsa. It's light and crunchy, and with all of the flavors, very satisfying."

From Bondage to Conscription
In the letter Blanchard replies to Bartlett's request to have one of his slaves conscripted into the revolutionary forces: “in your instructions to me you empowered me to enlist him in the New Hampshire Line.”
MARY BARTLETT
In her letters, Mary told Josiah about swarms of flies, and worms eating the corn, about sharp lightning and thunder, and about a frost on May 30 that damaged apple trees, beans, pumpkins, and cucumbers. She sometimes complained that the hired men were not working well under her direction, although “Billy and Peter manage pretty well, and the menfolk have done the hilling of Indian corn.”
Josiah replied with suggestions about saving seed corn, telling Peter to take good care of the cattle and not to waste hay, hiring a “good hand” for nine months or a year, and buying a few barrels of apples so that there would be plenty of New Hampshire cider.

These are the 56 people who signed the Declaration of Independence
The majority owned slaves – 41 of the 56, according to one study – though there were also ardent abolitionists among their number.

.25 cup sugar (60 g)
.5 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
2 TBSP unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small cubes
1/3 dried currants (optional)
1 medium orange
1 cup heavy cream, plus more for brushing tops
Preheat oven to 400F.
In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Stir until well blended. Drop the butter cubes into the flour mixture and, using a pastry blender, 2 knives, a fork, or your fingertips, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixtures resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in currents, if using.
Remove zest from orange into a bowl. Add the 1 cup cream to the zest and stir to blend. Using a wooden spoon, quickly stir the cream mixture into the flour mixture.
Form the soft dough into a ball and transfer to a lightly floured work surface. With floured hands, knead the dough 4 or 5 times, then roll out until approximately ½” thick. Use a round cookie cutter to cut out scones and place on an ungreased baking sheet. Reroll and cut out more scones until all dough is used. Brush tops of scones with cream.
Bake until golden, 15-20 minutes. Let cool for about 5 minutes and serve. Jam and/or clotted cream make good accompaniments.

Sift together flour through salt in a bowl. In a separate bowl, using an electric mixer set on high speed, beat the butter until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the brown sugar and beat until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in eggs one at a time, then beat in molasses and orange zest until well combined. Mix in the dry ingredients in 3 batches alternately with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the crystallized ginger.

Why You Shouldn’t Panic About ‘Spikes’ and ‘Surges’ in New Coronavirus Cases
But why should this panic us? A case (manifest illness needing or having official treatment) or an infection (just catching the bug, and no treatment needed or sought), are not as bad as a death from the bug. And there is no “spike” or “surge” in deaths.
