French Food

In the future, I’m going to talk about snacks that are popular in a certain country. However, as I said before the French don’t snack so I went to World Market and bought non-snack food from France, and that’s what I’m going to talk about today! Though honestly when I went to France, I would snack on a baguette throughout the day (the family I was staying with would have thrown them away otherwise).

I bought a caramel candy, Carambar, which can best be described as a caramel tootsie roll. It has the shape, look and consistency of a tootsie roll but when you bite into it, all the caramel-y goodness comes out (I love caramel!). These were cute, fun, little candies! However, some of my family didn’t like how sticky and chewy they are so if you don’t like that then these aren’t for you. My favorite thing about them is the jokes that have inside of them! I love candies with jokes! My favorite joke:

Que dit une vache lorsqu’elle recontre un homme?

(What does a cow say when she meets a man?)
Bonjour, Meeeuuuhsieur!

Madeleines are popular tiny sponge cake-like cakes that have a unique shape. You should be able to find a madeleine baking pan at most kitchen supply shops. But I didn’t do that. I bought pre-made madeleines from World Market. They probably would have tasted better if I made them but they still tasted good. It tasted like a lemon vanilla sponge cake. They were a huge hit with my family too!

If you want to try making madeleines yourself, this looks like a good recipe (you will need a madeleine pan):

And then of course I needed to try French wine! I bought this fancy AF looking Chardonnay from France! I’m not generally a fan of wine but it was really good! My husband and I shared it (he was sick though so he got to drink out of the cup-looking thing that topped the bottle. I’m seriously in love with the packaging of this though!

And finally, we bought some French water. Once again, I’m really impressed with the packaging! Very cute! It tastes very different from the water I normally buy (I normally fill up a 5-gallon jug of water at a water station). It wasn’t better or worse, just different! I liked it. I’m one of those people that love the taste of water though. For those that are curious, it described itself as (I love how water companies advertise their water):

“SANA PER AQUAM or Health by Water is how the Romans described this non-carbonated natural mineral water which is unique to Ardèche (France) where the CHANTEMERLE flows under the volcanic rocks.”

Until the next adventure!

  4. Links wirken hier wie Empfehlungen in der realen Welt.
    Je vertrauenswürdiger eine empfehlende bzw. verweisende Quelle ist,
    desto wertvoller ist der Backlink bzw. die Empfehlung.
    Weniger die Anzahl der Links per se (Linkpopularität). Hier spielt vor allem
    die Anzahl der verschiedenen verlinkenden Domains, die sogenannte Domainpopularität, eine
    Rolle. Die zweite Ebene ist die thematische Beziehungsebene.
    Übertragen auf die Semantik bzw. Graphentheorie sind Links die Kanten zwischen den Knoten bzw.

    Entitäten. Link stellen ganz gleich Beziehungen zwischen den Dokumenten und
    deren dort abgebildeten Themen dar. Owned- und teilweise
    auch Self-Placed-Links wie Branchenbücher sind erstmal
    für die Entitäten-Bildung zuständig, während Paid- und Earned
    Links Sinn für die Verbesserung der Autorität einer Domain machen. Wir bei Aufgesang orientieren uns hier an ein semantisches
    Verlinkungskonzept- Mehr dazu im Beitrag Semantisch Themen finden: Wie identifiziert man semantisch verwandte
    Keywords? Umsetzung: Hier übernimmt der/die SEO-Manager(in) einmal mehr erstmal eine beratende Funktion. Laut dem ob man sich für einen aktiven skalierbaren Linkaufbau oder
    organischen Linkaufbau via Content-Marketing entscheidet.

  20. In Italien werden die Einschränkungen Ratenweise zurückgenommen.
    Einen Spanien-Urlaub sollte man für den Frühsommer noch nicht buchen.
    Buffets in Hotels sind verboten. Buchungen für den Zugang zu Strandbädern sollen verhindern, dass die Menschen zu dicht aneinander strahlend braten. Mallorca
    und die anderen Urlaubsinseln können aber darauf hoffen, vielleicht doch ein wenig früher eine beschränkte Zahl von in- und ausländischen Besuchern empfangen zu dürfen. Desinfektionsmittel müssen überall
    bereit stehen. Es gebe eine Arbeitsgruppe, die über ein solches Pilotprojekt spreche, hierbei man erste Erfahrungen sammeln wolle,
    bestätigte Verkehrsminister José Luis Ábalos.
    Die Regierung in Madrid bekräftigte, dass man frühestens ab Ende Juni mit einer
    weitgehenden Grenzöffnung für Touristen rechnen könne.
    Selbst den Spaniern werde es bis nachher verboten bleiben, in andere Regionen des
    Landes zu reisen. Die Inseln setzen sich lange Jahre für die Errichtung eines “sicheren Tourismuskorridors”.
    Die Menschen, die trotz geschlossener Grenzen einreisen dürfen, weil sie
    in Spanien eine Erstwohnung haben oder eine
    Arbeitsstelle antreten, müssen zwei Wochen abgeschottet von der außenwelt.
