Sinigang na Manok

Having a little one in the house dictates you to be time conscious, creative and multi-tasking most of the time. Having a picky eater at home requires you to be innovative. So basically, with kids, gone are our days of "me time of peace and quiet". But their smile, laughter and sweet thoughts magically vanishes all traces of tired--ness and exhaust--ion.
How would i relate this to this recipe?.... well...ahem... i just want to point out that there will be a time that you are caught in a situation where you have no other choice but cook the simplest recipe your kitchen can offer, and most often the ingredients below is always in stock =D.
