Quite possibly the very first time for the phrase "chicken adobo" to appear on the front page of the New York Times:
"I'm going to fatten my boy up a bit with some chicken adobo and rice when he gets home," [Anecita Hudson] said after she learned that Specialist Joseph N. Hudson, 23, had been set free.(You all know how I feel about the war -- yes, I support the troops, but they're fighting an unjust war -- but I thought the "adobo" comment was touching all the same.)
