Celebrating the new year is still fresh for all of us. A lot of people are still feeling the cold weather even in a tropical country like the Philippines. Just the other night, I had to put on leg warmers and a hoodie while working at home.
This gives us a reason to whip up some heart warming and comforting food like chicken and pork adobo that's just so savory, you'd end up eating tons of rice with it. And the house is filled with the aroma of rich vinegar and soy sauce boiling with chicken and pork juices blended with plenty of onions and garlic mixed with caramelizing pork and chicken meat - the smell of a home filled with love.
Is it me or don't we just have crazy appetites when the weather is cool? I know I feel like munching on anything good I find in the fridge or the pantry every hour practically.
One of my favorite things to do while devouring on the sumptuous meal is to sit comfortably with a blanket while watching videos of Judy and Benji on their YouTube channel eating adobo themselves.
That, for me, is a perfect day and a perfect way to welcome the year ahead.
