Rafa opened the flagship Forte in the Roma Norte neighborhood with beans from Pólvora Coffee Roasters – where his brother Julián is the lead roaster Julián won first prize in the Mexican Brewers Cup Championship with his Pólvora beans.) We’ve taken advantage of the empty kitchen at the new Forte asking Rafa to let us sit in on his yearly tradition of making rosca de reyes ahead of Día de Reyes (Epiphany) on Jan 6 Rafa’s recipe is a traditional one at its core though he has made quite a few modifications the act of putting the rosca de reyes in the middle of the table cutting it and sharing it with everyone – that’s the most important part But we do try to be creative in our techniques and we adapt every recipe to work with sourdough starters,” he says A self-described “fermentation freak,” Rafa’s obsession with baking really comes from his love of fermenting in any and all its forms he is using a rosca recipe for brioche dough (for its higher fat content) and the “old dough” method meaning he incorporates a few portions of pre-fermented dough from an earlier batch into his mix of flour he tells us Forte has adopted this traditional method to reduce waste and add a punch of flavor in their pastry making “This helps make any kind of bread or pastry tastier,” he explains – if yeast has already had time to grow its characteristic taste really comes through in the dough The small group we have assembled watches Rafa place the new mixture in the refrigerator where it will cold ferment for 10-15 hours so the yeast can slowly percolate decorating and finally baking – the exhaustive process might be why most people don’t make rosca at home Even Rafa admits that it’s not his favorite bread to make when you are shaping the bread you have to do them one by one It’s a lot of attention to detail and you have to be picky about the toppings,” he says So I keep making roscas every year,” he explains “One of my favorite things about rosca is that it’s one piece of bread that you won’t ever eat by yourself The rosca de reyes tradition was brought to Mexico by the Spaniards over 500 years ago The cake’s roots are thought to have originated with the Romans and their end-of-the-year Saturnalia celebration dedicated to the god of agriculture Sweet bread made with honey and dried fruits was passed out to the commoners of the empire and whoever found the fava bean that was baked within their piece was named “king for the day.” Co-opted by the Christian church the tradition resurfaced several centuries later but this time to accompany the celebration of the three kings – the magi – arriving at the birth of Christ with certain items having gone in and out of fashion over the years whether it be beans or coins or the minuscule plastic babies Americans may know from Mardi Gras Rosca de reyes also plays a part in Rafa’s favorite holiday – Candelaria (Candlemas), which falls a few weeks after Epiphany. If on Jan. 6 your bite of king cake is home to a tiny baby Jesus doll, you are responsible for bringing tamales to the Feb celebrating Mary’s presentation of Jesus at the temple in Jerusalem 40 days after he was born One of my favorite things about Rosca is that it’s always about sharing Rafa himself has a bowl full of plastic baby Jesus dolls that he bought at the market After the bread has been proofed for the first time folding it over and over to form a ring – but first he presses three little plastic dolls into the dough to symbolize Mary and Joseph hiding the baby Jesus from King Herod the flavor of the rosca is more important than having a good-looking baby Jesus,” Rafa tells us when the discussion turns to the fancy porcelain babies of old that are sometimes placed inside the rosca de reyes at other bakeries His attitude carries over to the cake’s toppings Grocery store roscas are so shiny they often look shellacked and the traditional strips of quince paste and crusted sugar run the entire length of the bread instead of portioned into small sections Rafa likes to make his roscas a little more rustic he adds toppings of fig at each cardinal direction and little squares of red (strawberry) and green (apple) fruit paste alongside each other so “you can have a perfect bite every time.” He also switches out the sugar topping for traditional almond paste giving his rosca a richer flavor while still creating the same sweet crust He tops this with a few sliced almonds and a dusting of powdered sugar Rafa tells us that in Spain the traditional rosca usually has candied orange or lemon peel and is then sprinkled with sugar I’m not seeking perfection in everything,” he tells us as he puts the rosca he’s been working on into the oven It has been almost 24 hours since we started this adventure and the rosca is looking pretty perfect to those of us huddled around him our mouths watering and stomachs grumbling in anticipation This article was originally published on January 06 loading map -

The owner also was warned that he could not display the animal in public without the proper safety precautions The owner's full name was not disclosed by police because of rules in Mexico regarding the identification of crime suspects Thor was taken to the South District police station where a municipal animal rescue group placed it in a small cage to transport it to a shelter. Exotic cats seized in Mexico are often handed to animal welfare authorities who determine what will be done with the animal The tiger cub in the car case was the second incident involving a tiger in public in Juárez in a week Videos shared over the weekend on social media showed a small tiger scampering along a sidewalk in the Mariano Escobedo neighborhood a tiger is walking loose with a chain," a person warns someone in Spanish in a video shared by Azteca Noticias The tiger reportedly had a collar and chain attached and was possibly a pet that got loose It was unclear if the tiger in the video was Thor the tiger cub in the car It is not uncommon for authorities in Chihuahua to find tigers lions and other big cats being kept as pets without proper permits. The exotic animal discoveries are often linked to narco-related cases and drug raids In one incident, a Juárez man was attacked by a pet lion in the backyard of a mansion in 2018 In 2017, a lion, a jaguar and llamas were found at a ranch near Carichi, about 100 miles west of Chihuahua City during a raid following a drug cartel firefight that left eight men dead. In 2016, a lion, two tigers and two mountain lions were seized during a police raid at a home near Nuevo Casas Grandes. In 2015, two tigers were found at a ranch allegedly belonging to a reputed Juárez drug cartel boss in Villa Ahumada Daniel Borunda may be reached at 915-546-6102; dborunda@elpasotimes.com; @BorundaDaniel on Twitter A 23-year-old man serving 15 years in prison for a 2017 gang killing in Burien was charged Monday with two counts of second-degree murder accused of gunning down a young woman and a girl in March 2018 at a Burien apartment complex over gang graffiti The shooting deaths of Eveona Cortez were part of a long-running gang war between Francisco Montero’s gang and several other South King County street gangs But the killings of Cortez and Juarez remained a raw wound for the Burien community because “they were just kids” when they died who became Burien’s police chief soon after the shootings Following the September 2018 death of a woman who was killed by a stray bullet a collaboration between police and the Burien community led to several arrests and creation of gang intervention and prevention programs that “still live today,” Boe said he said hostilities between the gangs has largely cooled since then Juarez — who allegedly spray-painted graffiti directed at Montero after learning he had moved in with his girlfriend at the Alturas @ Burien apartment complex — was Montero’s primary target “It has been a heavy burden to my family to lose Elizabeth but a sense of relief that those responsible will be held accountable,” according to a statement from the Juarez family provided by the prosecutor’s office on Monday “Today is about justice for Elizabeth and Eveona We lost two beautiful young women to (an) act of violence that affected our families and extended families and the young lives that witnessed this unfortunate tragedy.” who was killed in Federal Way a day earlier Court records do not indicate which attorney is representing Montero on the most recent charges he’ll remain in custody on a no-bail hold King County sheriff’s deputies arrived at the apartment complex in the 1100 block of Southwest 139th Street and found Cortez and Juarez unresponsive on the ground A can of black spray paint was tucked inside a large purse near where they had fallen Both died soon after they arrived at Seattle’s Harborview Medical Center Autopsies showed that Juarez had been shot in the back of the head and thigh and Cortez suffered four gunshot wounds to her abdomen Witnesses described two shooters and said a third person was behind the wheel of a running car which the gunmen ran to after shooting Cortez and Juarez saw a red laser light on the wall behind the victims right before hearing gunfire Nineteen 9 mm shell casings and seven casings from a .45-caliber handgun were collected from the scene — and Montero’s DNA was later found on the 9 mm casings Detectives noticed there was a lot of gang graffiti in and around the apartment complex including tags that read “ULK” — shorthand for United Lokotes Killer — and “Serio Killa” with the “UL” and “Serio,” Montero’s gang moniker There were also tags that read “SSL lilox3” — a reference to Juarez’s gang “Lil Oxe,” according to the charges Cortez was associated with the Callejones Escondidos Surenos and went by “Esa Dowxer,” the charges say Juarez had been tagging the complex in the month before her death but the charges say there is no indication that Cortez was involved Detectives got a warrant and searched the room where Montero and his girlfriend were staying and found a revolver loose ammunition in various calibers and writing confirming Montero’s gang affiliation detectives were able to disprove Montero’s alibi that he and his girlfriend were in Federal Way at the time of the shootings They obtained warrants to search their phones and social-media accounts as well as accounts belonging to Montero’s UL associates photos and videos referencing the double homicide Stay secure and make sure you have the best reading experience possible by upgrading

almost eight years of litigation four reputed members of the gang say they’ve proven to a Kane County judge that the motto doesn’t apply to them the judge dismissed a 2010 lawsuit the city of Elgin filed against brothers Elias and Saul Juarez and brothers Ruben and Oscar Sanchez under the Illinois Street Gang Prevention Act Judge David Akemann last year denied a request by Elgin for an injunction barring the brothers from congregating with Latin Kings members But he also refused to order Elgin to pay their attorneys’ fees “They say you can’t beat City Hall,” said attorney John Mauck who represented the Juarez and Sanchez brothers but as teenager he was a Latin Renegades member He says he became a born-again Christian and persuaded his brother Elias to get out of the Latin Kings in 2008 Ruben and Oscar Sanchez say they ditched the gang in 2009 Elias Juarez and Oscar Sanchez say they suffered beatings to get out of the Latin Kings A five-day trial for the four men was held in January 2017 An Elgin police officer testified that the men were placed in the city’s gang database in July 2010 because they attended the funeral of a slain Latin Kings member their names were purged from the Elgin gang database when police deemed they were no longer active in the Latin Kings But the judge ruled the Juarez and Sanchez brothers weren’t even members of the gang in 2010 when the lawsuit was filed “It is not enough that the defendants attended a funeral of a known Latin King,” the judge wrote The men say they weren’t gang members at the time of the funeral but were there simply to pay respects to the victim — a childhood friend Dozens of suspected Latin Kings were sued by Elgin in 2010 but the four men were the only ones to have their cases dismissed “In September of 2010 our office sued 81 members of the Elgin Latin Kings street gang seeking to stop them from continuing to harm the city of Elgin with their violent gang activity,” said Kane County State’s Attorney Joe McMahon whose office represented Elgin in the cases “Since the suit was filed we have been successful either in obtaining agreements with the individuals to end their relationships with the gang or through the court in ordering the individuals to end their gang activity We were successful against 77 of the 81 individuals As a result Elgin is a safer community today,” McMahon said in a statement Mauck said he’s now considering an appeal to try to get Elgin to pay his clients’ “six-digit” legal tab Terms of Use • Privacy Notice • Cookie Policy • Terms of Sale Lake and McHenry County Scanner An appeals court upheld a man’s conviction in connection with a firebombing of a house in Mundelein — which killed a 12-year-old boy and injured his two family members in 2009 was charged in May 2009 with multiple counts of murder and multiple counts of aggravated arson He entered into a plea deal in 2011 and pleaded guilty to one count of aggravated arson knowing people were present in exchange for his other charges being dismissed Court documents show the charges stemmed from an apparent hit that Flores ordered to two fellow Latin King gang members — Elver H took a bottle with accelerant in it and a wick and lit it They threw the bottle into a home in Mundelein where they thought Rafael Juarez Rafael Juarez was not home at the time but his 12-year-old brother Jorge Juarez Jorge Juarez died while the mother and sister were injured after jumping from the second floor to escape the fire Prosecutors said Flores issued an SOS — “smash on site” — order during a gang meeting the day before the fatal arson fire The order was general in nature and there was no specific order to burn the house Flores was sentenced to 18 years in prison as part of his plea deal which meant he voluntarily accepted accountability for the arson Flores filed a postconviction petition seeking to withdraw his guilty plea and claimed his defense counsel was ineffective Flores filed another postconviction petition and said he was not the one who ordered the SOS and was “not legally responsible for the crimes of those who did.” The trial court denied that petition as well and Flores then appealed the decision to the Second District Appellate Court of Illinois The appeals court recently issued a ruling and said the trial court properly denied Flores leave to file his latest petition
