chicken, beetroot and orange salad

We're back, albeit without pictures until I manage to sort out a new version of potatoshop, and we've a lovely new computer to play with - yay for insurance!

It's almost December, it's spent two days chucking it down and it's freezing so naturally we've got salad tonight. This is partly a preventative measure against the weight of stodgy casseroles, stews and roasts I'm planning, and the looming Christmas blow-out, but mainly because ana louise is being ridiculous and has decided she's fat. She's ridiculous.

It's pretty good, and the toasted cumin dressing is interesting, particularly with the beetroot and orange, although I think I'm still looking for decent wintry salad to carry us through.

Food of the Milos
It's a busy day for the monkey; despite the rain we go to the Natural History Museum to see the Dinosaurs, and then shopping in the afternoon. He also eats loads - Shreddies and two apples for breakfast, puffs and raisins at the museum and cauliflower cheese for dinner, with pomegranate for dinner. Secretly, we also had a pre-dinner of cauliflower cheese with him.
