Adobo
Last Monday, after playing tennis, friends were supposed to come for dinner. So I cooked “adobo”(a Filipino meat or chicken dish with soy sauce, vinegar, ground black pepper and garlic marinade) and macaroni soup for 7 people. But then we finished playing tennis at 10 pm, after which our friends decided not to come by anymore since it was already late. I got upset although I knew I shouldn’t be. Anyway, there was nothing I could do with the circumstances. It’s a good thing that the guy who trained us that night needed a right home and he happened to live just near our place. I invited him over to have dinner with us. But after dinner and having eaten adobo for lunch yesterday, we still have some leftover which we will have again for lunch today and maybe till tomorrow. So here’s a lesson learned, unless you’re sure that friends are really coming over for dinner, never cook too much adobo. One thing's for sure though, I won’t be cooking adobo in the next few months.
