waiting for the family to get back so we can take my little sister out for her birthday. she's turning 8 and wants to have her b-day dinner at McDonalds :hehe:
And yes, you read correctly, she's 8 and no I'm not super young or anything- there's just a 12 year age gap.
wow......a B-day dinner at McDs, thats a first I've ever heard.
Hope your sister will have a great time :fingerscrossed:

Haha thanks, I think she will. I know it's really bizzare, we've asked her over and over if that's REALLY where she wanted to go- and it's definetly Mc Donald's.
It just goes to show you that your a lot easier to make happy when you're 8.

Adobo is considered the national dish of the Philippines. This dish consists of chunks of chicken or pork or both cooked in soy sauce, vinegar, bay leaf, lots of garlic and whole peppercorns. The stew is allowed to cook until the meats are tender and the remaining sacue slightly thickened. Some people prefer their adobos dry which may entail frying them afterwards, while others prefer them moist served in their original sauce. As a style of cooking, it can be applied to fowl, fish, shellfish and vegetables.
It's some good stuff. Cracker nuts are peanuts with this cracker coating that come in flavors like adobo and wasabi.
I went asian snack food shopping a couple days ago so i was able to re-stock on things like pocky, cracker nuts, and those roasted green peas.
Just got back from Mc Donalds- it was really quite entertaining because my family is so weird. They had taken the candle off my sister's cake and set it off to the side and when I saw it I said "Oh! Allison's turning infinity today!" and instead of telling me to be quiet and assuring my sister she was infact, 8 years old, my family joined in and we all sang "happy infinieth birthday to you" to her.
I swear the weirdness is genetic. :shakehead: :mrgreen: [/i]

wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww it looks sooooooo good.... looks like food ive had before but its probably different... similar perhaps tho! (from the description)... yummmmmmmm......
hahaha its a cute story tho, i assure u i think my family is just as weird.. if not weirder.. i wont even go into stories.. but if u check the food thread u can see what my bro did once to scare his gf and the rest of us :sweat: hahahaha...
Just came back in the house after shovelling snow off my front sidewalks and driveway. Whew!!!!! :sweat: It is windy and icy out there! Since tomorrow is Martin Luther King Jr's holiday here I will clean off my car tomorrow. Now it is time to watch some TV. :dancing: :D
Thanks KeepMeCaffein8td for that info on Adobo. I always thought it was just the name of an all purpose seasoning made by Goya that you buy in a jar in the spice section of the supermarket. That dish sounds delicious! :)
