First attempt to cook last night - Adobong Manok. Used leg and thigh portion of the chicken marinated with garlic, soy sauce and pepper. Added potoates. Added vinegar.

The processes... no peeler for the potatoes, no pan so I used a thin metal pot which burns food easily, no "chian-si" (how do you call it in english? wok spatula) - in short, chaos!

Verdict? Hubby said not bad. I think the sauce was too salty and the chicken was too blant.

I forgot to take a photo of my not-so-good masterpiece. Friends know I have this gallery called "cooking ni Wanda". The food that looks good... (period) *LOL* Looks like this online gallery shall be ressurrected soon. :D

Ranting about my cooking experience isn't the purpose of this post. My question is -- how do I get rid of the garlic smell on my fingers? It's soooooo annoying!!!

ETA:
I immediately sniffed my fingers after slicing oranges last night. Well, the girls suggested calamansi, but I guess the effect is the same since both are citrus fruits anyways. Yahoo, hindi na amoy bawang ang fingers ko! Hubby insisted na psychological effect lang daw yun naamoy ko for the past few days. Hmp, e baket di niya amoyin yun daliri ko? *LOL*

Thanks to all who shared their know-hows. Nakakatuwa basahin mga replies niyo. Next time ie-experiment ko naman yun solution with a metal spoon tutal marami pa ang bawang sa bahay haha... :D

After this cooking experience, I realized we have a lot of shopping to do:
1. kawali - kawali as in kawaling tagalog
2. san-se (ano ba talaga tawag dito?)
3. chopping board (yung wood)
4. .... ayan nalimutan ko na naman ang mga kailangan bilhin... malamang niyan next na luto ko ulit matatandaan. *LOL*

P.S. waah all the photo sites are blocked at the office na. Pati mga download sites. :( We really need to have a DSL line at home na.

P.P.S. yun promise ko na wedding kuwento di ko pa rin natatapos. I will allot a couple of hours per day to do it. Hopefully I will be able to finish it before the year ends. *LOL*
