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!

  9. 230-V-Netz dienen lediglich der Veranschaulichung des jeweiligen Schaltschemas.

    Bitte bedenken Sie, dass Arbeiten und Installationen an der Stromversorgung ausschließlich dafür ausgebildeten Fachkräften vorgenommen werden sollten. Bei Nicht untätig sein der
    Elektroinstallation ist zudem immer sicherzustellen, dass die Sicherung ausgeschaltet oder
    herausgedreht wurde. Außerdem können in Bestandsgebäuden nicht den Vorschriften entsprechende
    Elektroinstallationen (Farbe der Leitungen, Verlegung der Leitungen usw.) geben. Zudem muss die Belegung der Leitungen eindeutig definiert werden können. Zunächst gilt
    es, die Anschlussmöglichkeiten an einem Bewegungsmelder richtig zu
    interpretieren. Auch am späteren Verbraucher sind diese drei Anschlussmöglichkeiten gegeben: L,
    N und PE. U. a. können auch Lichtschalter in die Schaltung des Bewegungsmelders integriert werden. Wie Sie
    einen Bewegungsmelder zum Ausschalten schalten, zeigen wir im verlinkten Beitrag ausführlich.
    Auch die Schaltung des Bewegungsmelders bzw. des Verbrauchers auf Dauerstrom zeigen wir hier ausführlich.
    In diesem Fall wird L vor dem Bewegungsmelder ebenfalls durch einen Wippschalter
    geführt, dann aber zusätzlich direkt mit L des Verbrauchers verklemmt.
    Kurz umrissen: Vor dem Bewegungsmelder wird L zusätzlich durch einen Wippschalter geführt und
    dann weiter zu L bzw. L2 am Bewegungsmelder. Eine weitere Möglichkeit ist es, eine Schaltung für
    mehrere Bewegungsmelder anzulegen. Natürlich können Sie die Schaltung schon vornehmen, dass Sie den Bewegungsmelder komplett
    ausschalten und den Verbraucher dennoch auf Dauerstrom schalten können. Dazu können Sie die Bewegungsmelder aufgereiht schalten. Beachten Sie
    bei dieser Schaltung jedoch, dass sich die Schaltzeiten beider Bewegungsmelder addieren können, wenn Bewegungen innerhalb beider
    Überwachungsbereiche erfolgen.

  20. So gibt es auf eine Art sogenannte Klapprampen, die mit Schrauben einmalig am
    Kofferraumboden befestigt werden und anschließend nurmehr ein- und ausgeklappt werden. Bei der anderen Möglichkeit handelt es sich um Einbaurampen. Dazu wird ebenfalls einmalig eine spezielle Befestigungsleiste am Kofferraumboden angebracht und nach die daran anliegenden Führungsschienen ausgefahren und gesichert.
    Hierbei sollte darauf geachtet werden, dass der Schnellverschluss auch richtig einrastet.
    Welche Fahrzeugtypen sind geeignet? Weiterhin wird die Rampe so
    positioniert, dass sie zu beiden seiten an den Führungsschienen angrenzt und durch einen Schnellverschluss
    an gekennzeichneten Verbindungsstellen befestigt werden kann.

    Mobile Rollstuhlrampen gibt es prinzipiell für alle Automarken, da die Rampen extra für Fahrzeuge gefertigt und einer strengen Norm unterzogen sind.
    Einzelne Modelle haben jedoch begründet durch ihrer Konstruktion das Problem, der Belastung durch die Rampe nicht standhalten zu können. So sind Cabriolets und Kleinwagen hinsichtlich ihres zu geringen Gewichts bzw.
    ihrer mangelnder Größe häufig nicht störungsfrei
    genug und daher ungeeignet.

  21. Your style is so unique compared to other folks I’ve read stuff from.
    I appreciate you for posting when you’ve got the opportunity, Guess I will just bookmark this site.

  22. Systematische Navigation, eine App und Ausmaß gute
    Amazon Bewertungen. Tesvor arbeitet aktuell daran ihr
    Sortiment auszubauen. Leider hat der X500 immer wieder Schwächen in unserem Roboter Staubsauger Test gezeigt.
    Boris und ich sind mit null Erwartungen an den 150 Euro billigen Robo gegangen. Der Medion MD18500 ist oft auch als Aldi Saugroboter bekannt.
    Lustigerweise war das, war wir gesehen haben,
    sogar recht ordentlich. Ungewöhnlich einen Raum ohne Unterbrechung sollten Sie dem Medion Saugroboter zwar nicht zutrauen. Der Robovac
    11s von Eufy geht gerade einfach nur durch die Decke.
    Aber hey, zeigen Sie mir ein Modell für 150 Euro, das besser ist.
    Wir waren wirklich absolut gehyped auf den Roboter und haben sogar extra auf das Upgrade – den Eufy Robovac 11s Max – gewartet.
    Wir konnten den Hype zu keinem Zeitpunkt verstehen.
    Und was soll ich sagen? Der Roboter fährt
    im Chaos Modus, besitzt keine App und reinigt ok.

  23. It’s a shame you don’t have a donate button! I’d most certainly donate to this superb blog!
    I guess for now i’ll settle for book-marking and adding your RSS feed to my Google account.
    I look forward to fresh updates and will talk about this
    blog with my Facebook group. Talk soon!
