    Jury convicts man of Garden Grove murder of woman who had been fighting with his mother
    A 22-year-old man was convicted Wednesday of murder in the shooting death of a woman who had been fighting with his mother in the front yard of a Garden Grove home.
    A Santa Ana jury found Nathaniel Liscano guilty of first-degree murder with the use of a firearm for what a prosecutor described as the “completely senseless” killing of an unarmed Kellie Louise Nichol in 2016.
    During the trial, there was no dispute that Nichol, 31, and Liscano’s mother had been arguing via text, th

    Liquid Assets: Elixir of the gods at Descanso: A Modern Taqueria
    As far back as 700 A.D., the Mayans celebrated life’s monumental events by ingesting a sacred beverage they called “xocolatl.” The ancient people described this frothy concoction as “bitter water” for the intense flavor that emerged from infusing liquid with fire-roasted cacao beans. Artisans painted odes to the elixir. It was the food of the gods.
