Going into this I was conflicted on what exactly I should try and do and changed ideas a couple times. My initial idea was to learn sewing from my grandmother because I knew she sewed and my dad learned from her. I realized that throughout my life I never had much exposure to her sewing and it really didn’t mean as much to me. I decided I was going to learn how to cook one of her dishes that I’ve eaten my whole life because I never knew how to make it or what all exactly was in it. It is called Chicken Adobo, which is a Filipino dish. My family on my dads side is Filipino. My heritage and the Filipino culture has always been important to me and the food means more to me than sewing.
