Newsletter #TousÀLaMaison
Chaque jour, des idées pour occuper toute la famille et mieux vivre le confinement.
Nous vous proposons trois versions de pizzas effrayantes, à cuisiner avec vos enfants ! Pour la pâte à pizza, il faut : - 300 g de farine - 3 cuillères à soupe d’huile d’olive - un sachet de levure de boulanger - une grosse pincée de sel - 15 cl d’eau tiède Et les garnitures : - de la sauce tomate - du jambon - des olives vertes et noires dénoyautées - du fromage à pâte dure (comté, emmental…) - de la mozzarella
Étape 1 : mini-pizzas
Tu peux couper ta pâte à l’aide d’un verre. | AURORE TOULON
Prépare ta pâte à pizza en mélangeant les ingrédients. Laisse
reposer dans un endroit chaud et humide (ton four éteint avec une tasse
d’eau bouillante par exemple). Puis étale la pâte et coupe-la en
cercles à l’aide d’un gros verre. Recouvre-les de sauce tomate.
Étape 2 : les petits fantômes
Utilise des petits bouts d’olive pour faire les yeux. | AURORE TOULON
Taille des tranches de mozzarella. Découpe-les en triangle
dans le bas. Voilà un joli fantôme, avec deux tout petits morceaux
d’olive noire pour les yeux.
Étape 3 : les têtes réduites
Des yeux, un nez, une bouche… Prépare le visage de ta pizza. | AURORE TOULON
Prépare des yeux comme ceux de la momie pour ton petit
monstre : des tranches d’olives, verte cette fois ! Recoupe une tranche
d’olive en deux : à l’endroit c’est un joli sourire, à l’envers une
bouche pas contente. Enfin ajoute des bâtonnets de comté pour les
cheveux : voilà une coupe d’enfer !
Étape 4 : la momie riquiqui
Coupe le jambon comme des bandelettes de momie. | AURORE TOULON
Coupe une tranche de jambon en fines lanières. Déposes-en sur
une mini-pizza, en laissant une bande vide sur le haut. Puis coupe des
tranches d’olive et déposes-en deux pour faire les yeux. Bouh ! Il ne te
reste plus qu’à enfourner tes créations, 5 mn à 250°C. Les fantômes
vont s’étaler sur leurs mini-pizzas. Oseras-tu les croquer ?
Photographers highlight the rewards of shooting wildlife with a
camera rather than a gun as the public are asked to vote for their
favourite animals to snap
Public asked to vote for animals they think should be part of a new 'Big Five' - the best creatures to snap
The initiative has been launched by photographer and travel writer Graeme Green
It is supported by other wildlife photographers, who have revealed some of their favourite animal shots
The
public are being asked to vote for animals they think should be part of
a new 'Big Five' of the natural world's top creatures to photograph.
Unlike
the old Big Five, based on the five toughest animals in Africa for
colonial hunters to shoot and kill, the new list will be animals to see
in the wild and shoot with a camera.
The
initiative has been launched by photographer and journalist Graeme
Green. It is backed by several other renowned wildlife photographers who
have revealed some of their favourite animal pictures for inspiration
and to show their support, a selection of which is presented here.
Will the cheetah make it on to the
new Big Five list? Photographer Usha Harish snapped these cute cheetah
cubs in the Masai Mara National Reserve, Kenya
This sweet image of a pair of lions
affectionately nuzzling each other was captured by Graeme Green in the
Mara Naboisho Conservancy, Kenya
These playful polar bears were captured on camera by Thomas D. Mangelsen in Hudson Bay, Manitoba, Canada
These brown bears, a mother with her cubs, were pictured in Lake Clark National Park in Alaska
A small elephant walks among the herd in the Etosha National Park in Namibia. The elephant is one of the original Big Five
The rewards of shooting animals with cameras are clear to see.
It
is hoped the international project will also raise awareness of the
crisis facing wildlife, with more than a million species of animals and
plants at risk of extinction, and prompt more action to protect nature.
The original Big Five were
lions, leopards, rhino, elephant and buffalo in Africa, but the new
list can draw on wildlife from around the world – from polar bears in
the Arctic to orangutans and tigers in Asia.
Celebrities,
conservationists and photographers have contributed their new Big Five
choices, including musician Moby, who heads his list with the coyote,
and TV presenter Ben Fogle, who puts the hedgehog in first place.

NEW BIG 5 SHORTLIST
The New Big 5 initiative
has drawn up a shortlist of animals that people can vote for to be
included in the new list. Voters can pick up to five of their favourite
creatures, which include the old Big Five. They are:
Actress
Joanna Lumley has topped her list with the orangutan, and the red fox
is at the top of TV presenter Chris Packham's new Big Five selection.
Mr Green said he feels a Big Five of wildlife photography is much more relevant to the world than hunting.
'This
isn't an anti-trophy hunting campaign, though I can't personally
understand why someone would want to shoot and kill lions, elephants,
antelope or any other animals,' he added.
He
went on: 'As a wildlife photographer and a journalist, I've been all
over the world in the past 20 years, and to see the impact humans are
having on the natural world and all these remarkable animals, from
lions, elephants, giraffes and cheetahs to lesser known animals, like
pangolins, or rare frogs, is disturbing.
'People
care so much about wildlife, but still it's disappearing rapidly. A
million species face possible extinction. I wanted to do something to
help.

silverback gorilla was taken by Nelis Wolmarans in Virunga National Park
in the Democratic Republic of Congo

This beautiful image of a pair of
snub-nosed monkeys was taken by photographer Marsel van Oosten in
the Shaanxi province of China
The public can vote for the
orangutan to make the new Big Five list. Pictured is a female Sumatran
orangutan in the rainforest of Gunung Leuser National Park in northern
Sumatra, Indonesia
'I hope the project can get a bit of attention on the world's wildlife so that it's saved and protected before it's too late.'
Chimpanzee
expert Dr Jane Goodall said: 'What a great project the new Big Five is.
I wonder what the final choices will be? There are so many incredible
animals in our world.
'Any project that brings attention to animals, so many of whom are threatened or endangered, is truly important.'

No planes, clear skies, spring weather: There’s no better time to become a birder, with Mail cartoonist Paul Thomas’s guide.
As
Spring hits its stride, our parks, gardens and wild spaces are alive
with birds of every kind — from chiffchaff and blackcap to goldfinch and
bullfinch.
If you’re lucky, you may glimpse a wheatear or even a ring ouzel.
Right
now, up and down Britain, we have the chance to spot everything from an
early swallow to a golden oriole as they touch down for a few hours
after the long journey from Africa on their infrequent visits to this
country.
Daily Mail cartoonist Paul Thomas
thinks now is the perfect time to get into bird watching because there
are fewer planes in the sky and people have more time on their hands
The male bullfinch is unmistakable
with his bright pinkish-red breast and cheeks, grey back, black cap and
tail, and bright white rump
The bee-eater fearlessly pluck bees
and other flying insects out of the air with their strong, downward
curved beak, smack the victim’s head on a branch to stun it, rub its
rump on a surface to remove the stinger and flush out the toxins, and
chow down
The stonechat is a little smaller
than a robin and has a big head and short tail. It can frequently be
seen sitting on the top of gorse bushes, flicking its wings and making a
call like two small stones being hit together
But this year, the extraordinary conditions of lockdown offer even greater opportunities.
First, our skies are almost empty of planes, while pollution is at its lowest levels for decades.
So
why not take advantage of the silence, cleaner air and better
visibility to look for birds? All you need are sharp eyes and patience.
Binoculars and a field guide, or one of the many excellent phone apps
now available, are useful, too. You don’t need to travel anywhere to be a
birder — just look out of the window.
Birdwatching — which is what you’ll be doing — is very different from twitching.
The green woodpecker is the largest
of the three woodpeckers that breed in Britain. It has a heavy-looking
body, short tail and a strong, long bill
The firecrest (pictured) vies with
the goldcrest for the title of the UK's smallest bird. Compared to the
goldcrest, the firecrest is brighter and 'cleaner' looking, with a green
back, white belly, bronze 'collar' and a black and white eye-stripe
The Dartford warbler's population
crashed to a few pairs in the 1960s but has since gradually recovered,
increasing in both numbers and range
Most birders have a ‘patch’, their own area, which they visit regularly all year.
Twitchers
are slightly wild-eyed and will race off at the drop of a lens cap,
armed with telescopes and telephoto lenses, to see a rare bird that
someone else saw first.
Birdwatchers
just wait for birds to come to them — in their back garden, on a roof
terrace or, for example, out on the Kent marshes, which is where I did
my birding before lockdown.
I’ve been
observing and drawing birds for 35 years, since I was 12. But in
lockdown, my birding has been confined to the back garden and Wormwood
Scrubs.
The whinchat is a small perching bird. It hops or runs on the ground and often perches on top of low bushes
The golden oriole is a blackbird-sized the male with an unmistakable bright yellow body and black wings
The
Scrubs is my patch: a stretch of surprisingly wild scrubland in the
shadow of the prison in West London, which I walk or cycle to from home
as my daily exercise.
I always go at dawn. Skies once full of planes and vapour trails are even quieter then, except for the sound of golden birdsong.
I
love to see the meadow pipit performing its song-flight over the
grassland by the prison’s walls. They have been there for a long time,
the closest meadow pipits to Central London.
Chiffchaff, blackcap and chronically wheezing greenfinch are everywhere.
Short-eared owls are medium sized
owls with mottled brown bodies, pale under-wings and yellow eyes. They
are commonly seen hunting during the day
Slightly smaller and slimmer than a
blackbird - male ring ouzels are particularly distinctive with their
black plumage with a pale wing panel and striking white breast band
Although they are the most
colourful members of the crow family, jays are actually quite difficult
to see. They are shy woodland birds, rarely moving far from cover
A
charm of goldfinch are flushed out by the flash of a swooping
sparrowhawk as they feed on the teasels. A solitary kestrel hangs in the
air.
In past years I have seen short-eared owls, stonechat, whinchat and even a hobby — a fleet-winged summer-visiting falcon.
In my own back garden, I am seeing more birds than ever.
As
I write, a pair of coal tits are busily raiding my feeders. And I
haven’t given up hope of spotting another diminutive firecrest, the more
exotic cousin of Britain’s smallest bird, the goldcrest. My garden was
graced by one in 2015!
The only thing
stopping you from seeing your own goldcrest in this strange springtime
is forgetting to look. So stop what you’re doing and look up and out
Pizza Express fans have shared their joy after the high-street chain released the recipes for its much-loved Margherita pizza.
The Italian favourite closed all its restaurants four weeks ago, amid the coronavirus pandemic, but now food fans can now recreate the popular pizza at home, with a simple 12-step recipe.
The
delicious dough is made from whipping up flour, yeast, sugar and water,
while the topping consists of passata, mozzarella cheese and sprinkle
of oregano and basil.

HOW TO MAKE PIZZA EXPRESS MARGHERITA PIZZA
Prep time: 40 mins | Cooking time: 10 – 12 mins | Makes: 1 large pizza
Ingredients
150ml warm water – around 27 degrees
1 teaspoon of sugar
15g fresh yeast (or 2 level teaspoons of dry yeast)
225g of plain flour (plus extra for working)
1.5 teaspoons of salt
Extra virgin olive oil (and a little for drizzling)
80g of PizzaExpress passata (or any tomato passata you have)
70g mozzarella (or any cheese you have)
Pinch of oregano
1 Basil leaf (if you have one)
Black pepper
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 230°C.
2. Add the sugar and crumble the fresh yeast into warm water.
3.
Allow the mixture to stand for 10 – 15 minutes in a warm place (we find
a windowsill on a sunny day works best) until froth develops on the
surface.
4. Sift the flour and salt into a large mixing bowl, make a well in the middle and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.
5. Lightly flour your hands, and slowly mix the ingredients together until they bind.
6. Generously dust your surface with flour.
7. Throw down the dough and begin kneading for 10 minutes until smooth, silky and soft.
8. Place in a lightly oiled, non-stick baking tray (we use a round one, but any shape will do!)
9. Spread the passata on top making sure you go to the edge.
10.
Evenly place the mozzarella (or other cheese) on top, season with the
oregano and black pepper, then drizzle with a little olive oil.
11. Cook in the oven for 10 – 12 minutes until the cheese slightly colours.
12. When ready, place the basil leaf on top and tuck in!
It comes after the chain released the recipe for its famous dough ball starter.
Pizza
Express has served both the Margherita pizza and the dough ball for
more than fifty years and have kept the recipe a tightly guarded secret
in that time.
But it's followed McDonald's and Greggs in taking the unprecedented step of sharing top-secret recipes for the very first time.
Due to an outpouring of love from food
fans over the spilled secrets, the chain is now set to release a recipe
for one menu item every Sunday, with the Fiorentina pizza next in
line.
Fans couldn't contain their excitement at the release of the margherita recipe.
'STOP IT, I cannot wait!' wrote one.
'My life is about to change.....' said another.
'DREAMS DO COME TRUE,' exclaimed a third.
