How to cook Adobo

Take a look at everything around your house. If you are the usual consumer, fifty per-cent or more of everything you own is from the motherland. It’s quite obvious that China is on a rampage for global domination. Taking over the world one step at a time by letting you eat, wear, play, work, sleep on, stand on, laugh on, cry on, get crazy with, get intimate with, depend on, rely on, and ultimately and basically live on goods and services that are MADE IN CHINA.
