no more packets

whenever i get a hankering for a taste of home, my go-to ingredient is often mama sita's adobo sauce mix.



just add water and chicken; brown and stew. presto! chicken adobo that's not even close to my aunt's or my mom's but suits my craving nonetheless.

cleaning out the cupboards, i found a little stash of sauce packets and realized that i don't have much more use for them. it's hard to believe that in a few short months, i will be a short twenty-five minute drive to the real stuff (that is, at mom & dad's house).

i can come packing with my own tupperware if i want. this thought excites me.
