Thanks, Jacqueline, for the clarification on the meaning and pronunciation of Chipotle. I had also wondered about the term, adobo. I am new to the Internet, and to this list. I really appreciate the patience demonstrated by the experienced list members, with the members who are trying to learn more about this field. I think that for every 1 person who is brave enough to ask a question, there are plenty more of "us chickens" out here, wondering the same thing. At this point in my membership, to the list, I am trying to learn by reading, and hope to contribute when I have become much more informed. I have already decided to plant some hot peppers in my garden next year. I will try habanero peppers next spring. My level of experience with hot peppers is the jalapeno peppers. I have made "Firebread", a cornbread with cheddar cheese, onion, and a cup of diced jalapeno peppers. I guess, that would not be hot enough to be worth eating, for most of the people on the list. I am both afraid and anxious to try the "really hot" stuff eaten by real Chile-Heads. Marguerite
