tomato salad, cornish hens, Sangria

Some more recipes I am adding a couple of more recipes on the cooks exchange page - the first is a really simple tomato salad recipe - it is after all tomato season and I eat a tomato at least once a day, every day. So I love this time of year. I can't seem to say no to a tomato that passes me by. I frequent a farmers market that sells heirloom tomatoes - which are unbelievable and should be used for simple tomato/basil salads,or more complex bread/tomato salads, and gazpachos. The next recipe is for cornish hens. It's origin is Spain but really easy to make and gets quite a few cudos (did I spell that right?). This recipe is good enough for entertaining as well as family, easy to make and can be doubled, tripled whatever. The last recipe is for Sangria. I was speaking with someone today and we were talking about booze, what can I say. Anyway we both mentioned that during this time of the year a good Sangria is great to have. So here is my recipe. I will initiate my new drinking page with this one. speak to you soon. pi
