There I was a new wife standing in our kitchen with a couple of printed recipe on how to prepare my MIL's ultimate favorite food which is kare-kare. It doesn't help that this is my first time to prepare the dish by myself. I read through each recipe and took note of the procedure and ingredients that was familiar to me.
My MIL's eyes lit up when she saw that we had kare-kare for lunch and immediately asked who cooked the dish. My husband proudly replied "Si Gail. Sino pa ba." which I think has a hidden message that would translate to - Don't worry Ma, I've found a wife who can cook good food for me. "hehehe"
C's parents enjoyed the lunch we prepared for them with much gusto and though I haven't got a chance to prepare a meal for them again I honestly think that this kare-kare got their seal of yummy approval.
Kare-kare is a peanut butter base oxtail and tripe stew with a variety of mix vegetables, serve with rice, and bagoong alamang on the side.
