I was going to sit down on the bench to wait for the shuttle but there was a horrible smell so I just walked along and stood a bit further. That was a good idea, because, just where I would have sat, appeared a couple of wild pigs. The smell belonged to them&#8230; They casually walked across the street and continue looking for food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Un soir, j&#8217;\u00e9tais \u00e0 Stanley pour faire des courses. J&#8217;allais m&#8217;asseoir sur le banc pour attendre la navette mais il y avait une odeur tr\u00e8s d\u00e9sagr\u00e9able alors je me suis arr\u00eat\u00e9e un peu plus loin. Bonne id\u00e9e, car, juste \u00e0 l&#8217;endroit o\u00f9 je me serais assise, sont apparus deux cochons sauvages.

So I want to introduce a bit more diversity in our diet. And I have this book that I took at my mum&#8217;s called &#8220;Cuisine Vegetarienne&#8221; (&#8220;Vegetarian cuisine&#8221;). The book is as old as me but I thought why not try a few things? So I told Emilie that I will be trying a veggie recipe once a week and this will be called &#8220;Veggie Monday&#8221;. Let&#8217;s just say that Emilie was not very enthusiastic at the idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right wp-block-paragraph\"><em>La suivante est plus personnelle. Je veux introduire un peu plus de diversit\u00e9 dans notre alimentation. J&#8217;ai r\u00e9cup\u00e9r\u00e9 un livre chez maman qui s&#8217;appelle \u00ab La cuisine v\u00e9g\u00e9tarienne \u00bb. Ce livre est aussi vieux que moi mais je me suis dit pourquoi ne pas essayer quelques recettes ? J&#8217;ai donc dit \u00e0 Emilie que j&#8217;essaierai une recette v\u00e9g\u00e9tarienne une fois par semaine et que cela s&#8217;appellera \u00ab Lundi V\u00e9g\u00e9tarien \u00bb. Disons simplement qu\u2019Emilie n\u2019\u00e9tait pas tr\u00e8s enthousiaste \u00e0 l\u2019id\u00e9e.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the first try, I made some chickpea burgers. I replaced the egg by something else and it wasn&#8217;t a good idea. The texture was all wrong. Although it was good to taste, it looked like a blob on the plate and not at all like a burger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Pour mon premier essai, j&#8217;ai fait des galettes de pois chiches. J&#8217;ai remplac\u00e9 l&#8217;\u0153uf par de l\u2019aquafaba (jus de pois chiches) et ce n&#8217;\u00e9tait pas une bonne id\u00e9e. Les galettes n\u2019avaient pas du tout la bonne texture. M\u00eame si c&#8217;\u00e9tait bon au go\u00fbt, ce n\u2019\u00e9tait pas une galette, c\u2019\u00e9tait un tas informe dans l\u2019assiette.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is Emilie&#8217;s reaction when she saw her plate. In her plate, there is, from her left to her right, the chickpea burger, ratatouille and wheat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right wp-block-paragraph\"><em>C&#8217;est la r\u00e9action d&#8217;Emilie quand elle voit son assiette.
