Finally, Chicken Adobo that tastes like Chicken Adobo

After a few attempts in the previous years I finally got it to taste .... ok.
There were salty-soysauce-drenched-dry-chicken and super-acidic-vinegary dishes.
I have to admit some of the past failures are when I tried to tell my mother to put the recipe in writing. You see... she doesnt do that - its all in her head and she never measures anything. She tells me that I have to just be there and watch her cook. (ie make ME estimate roughly how much of each ingredient as she throws it in the pot).  One previous failure was due even to a book - a filipino cook book. Sheesh. Oh those attempts have almost scarred me, with me wanting to throw away all the food and denounce my culture. This time, I swore I was gonna break down in tears if it didnt work.

So in my attempt tonight I roughly used the recipe from here.

So voila! A pic right from the pot.
Bay leaves baby, Bay leaves!
