Two Tribes

Two decisions for 2010:

1) To become vegetarian. Not right now though - I've got fish in the house and I might as well eat it rather than throw it away. I was a vegetarian before - for a year and a half (ten years ago) - but I didn't do it right (too much cheese). I think I'm ready now. Down goes my carbon footprint. Up goes my experiments with different dishes and spices. I think it would be a great learning tool, and a distraction from impending unemployment.

2) Enroll in the Institute Français and take an intensive course in February, followed by more dispersed classes throughout the year. And start giving Brasilian Portuguese lessons to [livejournal.com profile] wink_martindale, [livejournal.com profile] blu_bear and [livejournal.com profile] desayuno_ingles (or anyone else, really, who's interested.) Good teaching practice for me; good language to learn for you.

Enya, please sing to me throughout the night and don't let the Big Bad Insomnia catch me.

Thank you, I'll check them out! The vegetarian industry here is quite good (unlike in Canada ten years ago, when I first tried it out), with plenty of quorn options, etc. Plus, I live in the Bengali neighbourhood, with all corner stores catering to vegetarians... I should be alright!
