Grammie made the tastiest adobo. She said it was easy, because she was a dumper. Everyone loves it. They asked for it over and over again. It was always a welcome treat. The only questions left to answer were when, or pork or chicken? Hope you enjoy it as much as our family and friends do. PS: The photos will be added as soon as possible. For some reason, I was not able to upload them to this recipe. I'll keep working on it, and post it as soon as I am able to.
