2 is company, 100,000 is a crowd

Ok so maybe they weren’t one hundred thousand, but it sure felt like it! When I got home and found myself splat in the middle of all the ants of my area swarming, I dashed into the house and got my macro lens. What else was I supposed to do?! Here are the best photos I took, but these three I also like. Maybe it’s the pattern feel that they give off, or maybe it’s the fact that they are so so many but…I really like them.

And you?

Together with Nicole Duplaix, Chair of the IUCN-SSC Otter Specialist Group , I wrote a book all about otters and how wonderful they are. Check it out We Love Otters

When we went to IKEA (yes, we had to) the landscape was missing something. Only when we drove back did I notice what: snow.
Germany is both what you’d expect and surprising at the same time. Tübingen, where I spent last weekend, looked like a german town should look like. But then, right under our rented flat.... chickens. And odd ones, at that.
And finally, Biagio. Biagio is my cousin, and he has gotten so much calmer and better-mannered 💜 doesn’t he look like a floating head in this pic?! Yes. I was holding a piandina con salsiccia e stracchino 🤩
And this? This is Africa, @federicaroggeri ‘s dog. A tiny tiny little chihuahua that they adopted. And no, her face isn’t always like that, only when she is excited 😋
Milù! Milu is all the rage at the @wwfitalia ‘s offices in Rome. And I always stop by to say hello and play tug-o-war with whatever his favourite toy is at the moment 💪🏻
Now. I realise this photo is awful, but the potatoes were so yummy that I have to share. I slow cooked these lovely golden potatoes in milk and butter and saffron. They were really very special 🌕
This was a discovery: marinated prawns with a modified hollandaise sauce. I made it the traditional way (butter, yolks, lemon) but at the end I also added the sauce that the prawns had made when cooking (they cooked in garlic, white wine and butter). Not only was it really good but it was also the ideal texture - something that I rarely manage to obtain 😁
I realised that I haven’t posted recipes in a while, sooo.... here goes! This was one plate of our New Year’s Feast: puff pastry triangles with salmon and cream cheese and white bread rolls with salmon, cream cheese, lemon zest and arugula. Both were great but the bread rolls were maybe better - the arugula and zest gave them a fresh crunchiness that the puff pastry didn’t have.
And the last one! Me with a parrot on my head while I did a home check for a potential bird fosterer.... It went well!!
