my adobo

luto ko yan, its adobong baboy and im proud to say na masarap yan :)
not american adobo, nor pinoy adobo. just my adobo.

i don't cook back home (except pritong tokwa or corned beef) pero dito sa chicago, i love to cook :) well, i have to cook, dahil otherwise i would be spending too much on food that i don't superbly enjoy.

the food that you can buy in fast food places here usually cost $5 to 6$ -- that would either be a large bowl of spaghetti w/ drinks, a large slice of pizza w/ drinks, or a combo meal from mcdonald's, a chinese place or a new orleans kitchen. these would be pretty okay, but you really can't eat them everyday, twice or thrice a day. at some point, you would really start craving for home-cooked meals. i know i did after only being here for a couple of days.

that's when i decided i have to cook :)

here are the ingredients to my adobo. nothing different nor special, hehe, but i want to share it just the same. you have sugar, pepper, garlic and onions (not shown in photo), soy sauce and vinegar. i put a little bit of oil lang panggisa. kulang lang ng laurel leaves which is difficult to find from where i am. pero that's it. i marinated the pork beforehand, so its more malasa.



maybe i can cook my adobo for you one day? malay natin :)
