I learned something about Pyrex tonight. Extreme temperatures or stress can shatter and entire object made of tempered glass — you’re not supposed to use it on the stovetop or in the broiler.

I had been meaning to make a Filipino dessert called bibingka for quite a while. There are different kinds of bibingka, if I recall correctly, because it means “rice cake” and that can mean any number of things when it comes to Filipino cuisine.

My mother had some leftover uncooked chicken from dinner the other night, so I took that as an opportunity to make some chicken adobo. And an opportunity to take pictures of something I did so I could post about it!
