Local pizza place near me has a pear pizza that carries the name of the restaurant (so they must be proud of it?). It is:

  • fresh mozzarella
  • shaved pear
  • caramelized onions
  • hot honey (I think this means honey with a little red chili in it)
  • pistachios

They offer/suggest adding prosciutto to the pizza (after baking), which we usually do.

It's damn fine.

I enjoyed it just fine. I enjoy open-worldish-rpg-y games.

I think Odyssey refined the mechanics better, but Origins was still enjoyable. One the post-main DLCs I particularly liked (which is rare for me).

I did not/do not enjoy in the least the modern-day story detours nonsense; I just sort of think of them as commercial breaks that I go get some water during and pay no attention to.

People who didn't like Ubisoft's turn towards RPG/open-world elements seem to have a more negative opinion of the game, I think.

Yeaaaah, I know people like them. It's the whites that get me...

I must chuckle at myself.

I am one of those extremely odd and strange people who likes very, very many things across many different cuisines...

...except eggs. Eggs and yellow Summer (or Fortune) squash.

EDIT: Note, I eat plenty of eggs in things. But, when I run into a whole boiled egg sitting in my food, or a fried egg on top of a bowl of bibimbap, I pick it out. Even more odd: I will eat tamagoyaki without a problem.

I can see that, I felt it just didn't have enough "oomph" or "punch".

Here are two versions, both of which I have made with repeat success.

Chicken Adobo #1
Chicken Adobo #2

On the upside, I was able to repurpose the underwhelming pork adobo into "cross-culture" taquitos last night. I shredded some cotija, gently reheated the pork, made some tortillas and then stuffed them with the cheese and pork and quickly pan-fried them, then topped them with a heap of pikliz. That worked well and was pleasing.

I’m in the US; the adobo I am trying to find is Filipino.

I have made chicken adobo (with coconut milk) many times with very good results. This last week, I tried the following recipe for pork adobo:

And I was not very pleased with it. I thought it would be a slam dunk, but it just disappointed me.

Does anyone know of a good pork adobo recipe they can point me to?
