FILIPINO “ADOBO”-STYLE CHICKEN
source: epicurious.com

8 whole chicken legs (about 4 pounds), cut into drumstick and thigh sections
1 1/2 cups distilled white vinegar
3 garlic cloves, crushed
2 bay leaves
1/2 tablespoon whole black peppercorns, crushed lightly
3/4 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
cooked rice as an accompaniment

In a large kettle combine the chicken, the vinegar, the garlic, the bay leaves, the peppercorns, and 1 cup water, bring the mixture to a boil, and simmer it, covered, for 20 minutes. Add the soy sauce and simmer the mixture, covered, for 20 minutes. Transfer the chicken with tongs to a plate and boil the liquid for 10 minutes, or until it is reduced to about 1 cup. Let the sauce cool, remove the bay leaves, and skim the fat from the surface.
In a large skillet heat the oil over high heat until it is hot but not smoking and in it sauté the chicken, patted dry, in batches, turning it, for 5 minutes, or until it is browned well. Transfer the chicken to a rimmed platter, pour the sauce, heated, over it, and serve the chicken with the rice. 

Adobo with pan de sal

This is a quintessential Filipino dish made by slow-cooking pork in a mixture of vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, bay leaf and black peppercorns, then pan-frying it for extra crispiness. It’s one of our favourite foods!

Recipe

Ted’s adobo

INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 cups water
1 cup vinegar (palm vinegar or, in this case, apple cider vinegar)
4 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
1 head garlic, crushed
1 kg pork belly

DIRECTIONS

1. In a large pot, combine the water, vinegar, soy sauce, peppercorns, garlic and bay leaves then stir. Soak the meat in this vinegar mixture for 1 hour.

2. Place the pot over low heat and simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes.

3. Brown the meat by transferring it to a skillet over high heat and frying for a few minutes, turning so that all sides are browned. (Keep the vinegar mixture in the pot.)

4. After browning, return the meat to the pot with the vinegar mixture and simmer over low heat until only a small amount of sauce is left.

5. Serve with garlic rice and sliced tomatoes.

Note: chicken, or a combination of chicken and pork, can also be used.

A country as it was said it is a Christian country?

I hale “NOT” to mine nor to your beloved country. This is not what the son and daughter of the son and daughter of a man in the future who would be living to his country. Some country is not a Christian country as there were so many woman and man engaged to the putrefactive decay or rottenness of corruption nor they are engaged to the unworthy use of prostitution in exchange of living and pleasure. Thousands of porn websites viewed by childrens, hundres of child women being raped every hour.  So many established building of gambles that caused rich people to waste a lot of money instead of giving their hands to the poor people of our Repuplic country.  These rich people, who are they making rich and who are they making poor? I have realized that a servant of a Law of this Republic country is only a hipocrate. They have promised that they shall served and protect but even a child is afraid of their guns and bullet. I have witnessed that fellow meagers are afraid to their voices when they shout. Our youth of the truth is always shouting to these hipocrates that they shall shout and speak of evidence of the falsehood. Hipocrates kill, hipocrates lie and making blind the eyes of the public. Hundreds of media men were killed because of publishing truths to the public. Another problem is the drug addction that some poeple make it as a habit and making it as a business. Drug kills, making the mind of a person be blanked and it really sadden me knowing that  some youth who were at their young age are also engaging to this grimy addiction. We cannot lie and we can never hide these dirts we see. Father have killed his children, cheated his family and mother cheated his husband and sons and yet sons killed his family. There are so many “Beer Houses”on the streets for every cities and town. Both man and woman, lesbians and gays are using chatting network nor a Text network and became one of a medium of message of bi-sexual and wanted to seek a dirty service from their kind.And Why are there so many stores on the streets selling distilled or spirituous beverage that makes people drunk and caused them to fight with each other, kill and do something that is injustice and bad. So many abortionists were living behind, that also kills behind.
