Thanks, Carol. I’ve sent you two links in a message. I hope you’ll be able to open this this time. So sorry!

Hello Shell, thank you for the links, unfortunately they don't work for me, and I still can't read your original message, would you like to send me an email outside of Substack? hello@natureandwildlife.co.uk

Carol, I've just sent the links to you again in an email. I wonder if you may have a setting that's preventing you from opening them, as I haven't had any issues with other UK members needing UK verification to see them. I hope the links will work for you. Have a great day. 😊

Hi Shell, haven't recieved an email from you only Substack notifications, I can use the link to your site but nothing else. If you don't mind sending me a normal email away from Substack I will be able to read it and reply to you. Its a new safety law that prevents people from the UK being able to read messages and some links from other countries unless verified through ID (Consent). There is a post about it on Substack Thanks Carol. My email address hello@natureandwildlife.co.uk

My dad sent me this post of yours and I remembered how one time years ago we had a similar Brazilian dish on a family trip. The dish, and the memories it invokes are comforting indeed. 🙏🏽

Nico, I gasped to read that your dad sent you one of my posts! Wow, what an incredibly small and tight-knit world. I love that you’ve had the Brazilian version of this dish, and that it lives on in your memories even years later. I also ruminate and savor memorable dishes in my mind that I’ve enjoyed in years past. I love so much that you do this too. 🥰

I want to try this! It looks so good. I just need to find arborio rice. I'll check World Market... :-)

Thanks so much, Sadie! That really means a lot. 🥰

I found the arborio rice and I made the dish last night, and it was delicious! I had everything but the bay leaf on hand, and I used cilantro instead of parsley. My teenager also loved it so I'll definitely be making it again. Thank YOU! :-)

P.S. It's just the two of us so I halved the recipe, which still left us some yummy leftovers.

Yay! Sadie, this absolutely makes my day. Thanks so very much for making my recipe! And I’m so thrilled that you and your teenager enjoyed it. ❤️

This looks delish, and very authentic. I've made Arroz de Feijão à Transmontana (with chourico and pork belly) here in Portugal and love it. Will try this recipe soon. Obrigada Shell!

Thanks so much for your kind words, Ct! This really means a lot. I’m really excited for you to try it out. 🥰
