Directions:
In a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil. When the oil begins to shimmer, add the cumin seeds and cook until they turn a medium shade of brown. Add the asparagus, cover, and cook for about 4 to 6 minutes, until slightly charred but bright green.
In a large bowl, combine the asparagus, cooked quinoa, tomatoes, garlic, salt, and chile. Add the remaining oil and gently mix. Just before serving, add the lime juice.

To take a skeptical approach to American history is not to dabble in imaginative conspiracy theories; rather, it's to reframe your understanding of this great nation's past and actually strengthen your appreciation for what makes American history such a fascinating chapter in the larger story of Western civilization. And in this bold 24-lecture series, you can do just that. Travel back in time and examine many commonly held myths and half-truths about American history and prompt yourself to think about what really happened in the nation's past - as opposed to what many believe happened.

These lectures demonstrate how reconsidering some of the most popular notions of U.S. history can yield new (and sometimes startlingly different) interpretations of political, social, economic, and military events. But more than just debunking commonly accepted accounts, you'll be able to replace these misconceptions with insightful truths. Exploring both America's history and the verdicts that have been rendered about some of its most enduring figures - including George Washington, John Adams, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and many others - these lectures investigate a wide-ranging list of questions.
Series: Our Forgotten Past, by Brad C. Shupe
An informal series of posts regarding people, places or events in the tri-hamlet communities that may not be well known by both the community and history buffs as well.
