    Have you ever heard this, about stirring RUINING the adobo?
    To both questions.

    Yes! Especially, the part of not stirring the POT!

I demanded some kind of reason, so she said something about agitating the chemicals before they were done doing their thing (which is something we all learned in chemistry classes during certain labs).
      You've heard Alton Brown say it sometimes, Scrivener - just listen to his voice in your head, saying "walk away --- just...walk away."

      Or would you rather hear Ms. Ray's voice in your head?

        Polish sauages and a cup of Diet Coke from Costco.

          Yes, there's a lot of this recently. Seattle presents live music in different downtown locations throughout July & August, so we go to several of them. Again, today.

              Lynn, that looks so gross! Although I guess if I was going to have to eat sardines, that's not a bad way to have them.

              What, there was no leftover chicken adobo?

              My lunch was a snack-size bag of Cheez-Its and a Diet Coke. Vending machine food. Thinking about ramen for dinner tonight, but I work 'til 9:00, so it'll be a late one.

                I understand about leaving stuff alone on the grill or in a pan-fry, but we're talking about something that's stewing, something immersed in its cooking liquid. It just doesn't make sense to me that upsetting the ingredients can actually RUIN the food.

                  If there are sugars in the sauce, at certain temperatures, the slightest movement can cause new crystalline structures to form, then clump and ruin it. Moisture can have the same effect, so sometimes movement will cause condensation to drop into the substance containing the sugars.

                  Don't know if that applies to Lynn's (or your friend's) adobo, however.

                  Shirley Corriher's book, "Cookwise" is a fascinating combination of recipes alongside scientific explanations of why foods and ingredients behave the way they do. I think you'd enjoy it, Scrivener.

                    That type of dish was eaten in the plantation camps long ago because it was cheap and filling and cans of sardines were readily available in the company store. My great-grandma would make it sometimes, but I never touched the stuff.

                        Co-worker purchased a Hawaiian style take-out lunch from some place. And a can of Mountain Dew from the vending machine.
