Meal No. 1473: Filipino Chicken Adobo

Friday night was a fantastic evening of food and fellowship with the Roediger House's most regular regulars. Music, pool, food, drinks, fun, laughter...it was all there, and it was all good.

On the menu: Filipino Chicken Adobo, a hearty and filling comfort concoction made with pan-seared chicken thighs that are finished in a soy sauce, garlic, cider vinegar, coconut milk, and bay leaf braise. Served over rice, with early peas nearby, it was quite good.

I even managed to pull off a speedy (relatively speaking) dessert that was a new concoction for me: a chocolate almond braid. This is another one of those super-speedy videos from the "Tasty" crew at BuzzFeed. We liked it!
