NOT JUST HATS OFF...

Not just HATS off, but everything off to Dr.Cox and the entire Labor and Delivery staff (especially Nurse Melanie Polk) at Seton Medical Center. These folks were on top of things on the morning of May 3rd and responded super quick when an unexpected emergency situation arose with our unborn at about 5:25am. Thanks to this Team at SETON our little girl was brought safely into this world at 5:33am. That's why I'm taking off more than just a hat and I would like for you to do the same. You don't have to get out of everything right this moment, but next time you're getting down to your birthday suit ( getting in the shower or whatever), just say, "here's to the Labor & Delivery Night Shift at SETON Central". Thanks for your participation.
And thanks to GOD too, who worked everything out so that we would actually be there in the Hospital when this emergency occurred.

CHIPOTLE or CHIPOLTE ??

I've been a bit confused about this for some time. I know the name of the burrito joint owned by McDonalds is Chipotle, but I've seen menus at restaurants which spell it with the L before the T.Chipolte, and folks often say it that way. I've also seen recipes which have it spelled with the L first. Well, this morning I finally found out the corrrect way and I'm looking forward to correcting people on this when the opportunity comes along. If y'all will join me on this, hopefully within a few short years we can have this common mistake eradicated.

Etymology

The word chipotle, which was also sometimes spelled chilpoctle and chilpotle, comes to English originally from the Nahuatl word chilpoctli by way of Mexican Spanish. The Nahuatl word chilpoctli means "smoked chile", formed from chil (="chile pepper") + poctli (="smoke"). The original Nahuatl word was spelled "pochilli" and has apparently become reversed. Today it is commonly misspelled and mispronounced as chipolte, an error of metathesis. Other early spellings from Mexico are tzilpoctil, tzonchilli and texochilli. The most common pronunciation is chee-POHT-lay, although some of those who are aware of this word's Nahuatl roots prefer the more historical pronunciation chee-POHT-til. Some Mexicans refer to chipotles as chile poctle.
