Sort of Spanish Roast Chicken
This is an attempt to recreate the amazing roast chicken we buy from street vendors in Spain (in the Alicante region) - made up by looking at loads of different recipes for Spanish Roast Chicken and mixing my favourite bits together.

Superinjunction
I’m not sure I understand why it’s OK to break the law by ignoring a direct court order to reveal trivial details of a person’s life but not OK to break the law by accessing an open voicemail system to reveal trivial details of a person’s life.
