I watched a FEATR video today about different styles of adobong baboy around the #Philippines, and it reminded me that I haven't made #adobo in a long time, so for #dinner tonight I will be #cooking pork adobo, and I think I will maybe bake a pineapple pie, too.

Chicken and pork #adobo!
#Filipino #food #Philippines
I really should #cook my own adobo. Nobody ever taught me. I'll just have to learn from #YouTube. 
Speaking of which, last month I opted to pause* my YT subscription. Just because. So it ended Feb 1st. Then I remember why I had it in the first place. Yeeeeeeeah, I'll be subscribing again. 
!
But I'll wait a few days so it'll have the same renew date as my other subscriptions.
Browsing Wikipedia and YouTube, and I suddenly have a craving for #lumpia and #pancit, specifically Lumpiang Pancit.
I like #PancitBihon or #PancitSotanghon best. I haven't made pancit in a long time, because the noodles are stupidly expensive where I live.
One of the things I miss about being a child is not having to go to the trouble of making good food. #siopao #pancit #adobo #bangus #dotPH #Philippines #Filipino #Filipinx #food #FilAm #cuisine #cooking

if every person in the world eats #adobo everyday we can solve #worldhunger tbh 
I wasn’t really planning on eating #adobo three days in a row, but I also can’t say I’m going to regret it. It is, after all, adobo.
Any day you get to eat adobo is a day you should be thankful you get to be alive on this Earth.
We seldom prepare red meat-based dishes at home, but when we do, we make sure they count. I just hope this pork adobo lives up to my husband's standard. He's the better adobo cook.
When I visited my family in the #PH for the first time, with my father and older brother, my dad started telling everyone how I make the best #adobo. I was like, “You *cannot* say that in front of my aunties in their own homes, that is like throwing down the gauntlet.” My father was the oldest surviving, and an MD, so he got away with shit no one should really get away with. TBF, it was his first trip back home in 35 years, so he wanted to brag about us. I was just happy to meet my #family.

The biggest problem I have with #cooking #adobo is that I have a #propane stove, and propane burns so much hotter than natural gas that it’s impossible to set the stove low enough to properly simmer. Even the lowest setting on the smallest burner is too much heat for a small pot. I have to stack two of the burner grates to raise the pot off the burner to prevent it from burning.
Also, totally #firstworldproblems, but All-Clad still refuses to make a glass lid, so I can see inside the pot.
I get a D- grade at “being Filipino”, today. I went to make #adobongmanok for dinner, and only then discovered I’m nearly out of bay leaves and don’t really have enough for the pot, but I’m already committed, so I’ll just have to live with it. Fortunately, bay leaves are cheap in my town.
One thing about #adobo is, you can always make adobo if you forgot to really think about planning for dinner, and it will always be good. My chicken was still frozen when I put it in the pot, but that’s fine.

Now that I've cooked it I'm sure someone will say this recipe isn't right! #Chicken #Adobo #filipino It was in one of my Mum's old magazines & daughter spotted it. The photo looks quite chargrilled, but the recipe had added water and it was looking quite wet & oily so I drained it near the end, to just have a bit of sauce. It's good to have something else to go with rice cooker leftovers, I did a garlic fried rice ( it was all tasty!) #cooking #cookery
If you think about it, the Tagalog for "adobo" is not "adobo", but "paksiw"
So the "adobong manok" we know today should really be called "paksiw na manok na binabad sa toyo" if we want to be purist

For me, I love pineapple on pizza.
I think it's cultural + taste.
I am from the Philippines, and if I'm not mistaken, we are one of the world's largest producer and exporter of pineapple (though it's not native). This made pineapples a part of our culture (we also produce other products out of pineapple leaves, for example) and culinary, and our taste developed with it a part of everything.
Our famous Filipino #adobo, one variant is to add pineapples, which will give the food a very rich taste.
So, when pizza came here in the #Philippines, there definitely should be pineapple on it.

When I was a little kid, yes, I was very picky. There are tastes and textures that I super duper do not like.
Many of those type of foods, I learned to block just so I can eat them. This was after we experienced the 1997 Asian financial crisis and the 2000 dotCom crash. I had to learn to eat whatever is available.
There are still foods, fruits to be exact, that I still avoid and can't get myself to eat. An example is orange, and anything that looks like an orange fruit.
I highly prefer #umami, sweet, and salty tastes. Spicy are fine, but I'm on the lower end of the spicy range, higher than that, I can't and won't.
I'm fine with mixing food, but only to a certain degree and depends on how it was made (the balance of tastes for example). I'll step back eating strawberry + chocolate. But, if it's an ice shake, I'm fine with that mix.
Fish. I am very picky. I don't like most fish because of the taste and texture. My trick is to have a soy sauce or mayonnaise, and lots of rice, just so I won't taste it and won't feel the texture.
Now, that's me pre-gout and pre-kosher days. I now follo #Kosher food, and since I also have #gout, my food choices are further limited.
Regardless, if there is one thing constant, I tend to pick: chicken, ramen/ramyeon, #pancitCanton (Filipino noodles), mayonnaise (I avoid ketchup as much as possible), #pandesal or rice. If there is chicken #adobo and tinolang manok (Filipino chicken soup), I'll pick those.
What's important also is, umami taste. I avoid at all cost any food without #MSG. Food without MSG not only tastes bland, it tastes dead. There is no umami taste in those “MSG free” food.
I swear I'm not hungry but that chicken vegetable #adobo simmering in the kitchen sure is making me doubt myself.
