FAMILY

    I grew up with deceased parents. Okay, let me tell you a little bit of that story. My Mom died when I was 2yrs old. (Breast cancer). My Father re-married,10yrs after he also died(lung cancer/colon cancer) I was 12yrs old back then so I am not really sure what was his illness. There was no 'clear explaination' from my step-mom, they said Doctor's couldn't really tell. I just learnt it myself not too long ago that his illness was probably a colon cancer based of his physical appearance(his belly grew big, and he was pale and thin as stick).        So, that left us(other,5 sibling) parentless.

That was before heading to the kitchen for my very first time cooking Pork Adobo. (I'm pretty adventurous on the kitchen alright). I have the same motto as from the  Ratatouille movie,that (Anyone can cook,ONLY fearless can be great.) Anyway, here are the ingredients of making pork adobo.  * 2 stacks of tenderloin(cut in cubes). * 3 stacks of garlic (minced). * 6 pieces of whole black pepper. * 3-4 pieces of bay leaves.
