, in Mariachi Plaza, for one oversized al pastor taco.

1 cinnamon stick, halved.One 3-inch strip of lemon zest.

1 1/2 pounds rhubarb, stalks peeled and sliced crosswise 1/2 inch thick.Vanilla ice cream, for serving.In a saucepan, bring the cassis, wine, brown sugar, cloves, star anise, cinnamon, zest and vanilla bean to a boil over high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar.

Reduce the heat and discard the flavorings.Stir in the rhubarb and return to a simmer.

Remove from the heat and let stand for 10 minutes.

Transfer to a bowl; refrigerate until chilled.. Spoon the soup into bowls.The city became a shell of itself and in many respects, is still trying to recover from that loss.

Many millennials and Gen-Xers around my age remember taking field trips to Whitaker Park to watch cigarettes getting rolled, manufactured, and packaged.We were given packs of cigarettes to give to our parents but the most exciting part of the field trip was receiving The Token..

The Token was a coin used to insert into a Nabisco vending machine to receive the snack or pack of Nabs of your choice.I remember a slick, buffed hallway grandiose, not unlike the scene where Dorothy meets the Wizard of Oz, only with dozens of vending machines glittering with snacks inside.
