And while Turney still makes no claims of authenticity - her food is inspired by, rather than dictated by, traditions - her menu has evolved.
There are a few more threads of genuine Mexican flavors that run through the menu of Lolita 2.0, especially with the fresh masa rounds that come off the hand-cranked tortilla press. I do not necessarily prefer this Lolita to many of the affordable taquerias that have sprouted like epazote along Ninth Street south of Washington Avenue.

Narrator: Sometimes your body needs a little jumpstart to kick into labor.The duck-fat tamale is an instant classic, a husk-wrapped bundle of steamy masa fluff topped with shredded smoked duck leg meat and a mahogany mole rich with ancho peppers and peanuts.Īnd when this kitchen is on, I see the appeal. Today, Cheryl – 39 weeks pregnant – has arrived for her scheduled induction at Abington Memorial Hospital, in Abington, Pennsylvania. There are many forms of induction but all have the same goal, says Dr. Richard Carapellotti, Cheryl's obstetrician.ĭr. Carapellotti: We actually induce contractions. Contractions hopefully will cause cervical dilatation. Narrator: Your doctor or midwife may choose to induce your labor for a number of reasons: As the cervix dilates, the labor progresses and ultimately the baby's delivered vaginally. You are a week or more past your due date, and you show no or slow signs of cervical dilation and labor. Your water breaks, but your labor doesn't start. Or you or your baby face medical issues that pose a health threat, which is the case for Cheryl.Ĭheryl has an antibody in her blood that could harm her baby, so the induction is a precautionary measure to help avoid any problems. There are a number of methods available to medically induce or ripen the cervix to get your labor moving. If your labor needs to be induced, you may be treated with one or more of the following in the hospital:Ī foley catheter. Your practitioner may insert a tube with a very small, uninflated balloon at the tip into the opening of your cervix, demonstrated here with this curled-up hand.
