chorizo & tomato salad and chicken & rice salad

Despite being really sunny suddenly it's fricking freezing. No matter though because we've got salad on the mind, and two old favourite recipes from the last couple of years - a spanish chorizo & tomato salad from the boys behind Fino, and a zingy chicken and rice concoction using some of last night's leftovers.



They go together really nicely for a biggish dinner although when I cooked them last year for the old C4 crew, somebody felt he could criticise the chicken - although I can't for the life of me remember what his point was...

Food of the Milos
It's all about the health for m magic tonight as he has a plain jacket potato with cheese, some tomato, avocado and she tries him on some roast chicken. It's all good apart from the chicken, which is just as well as it's pretty much my default lunchbox this week.

Are those dates spooky or what? Probably not...
