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!

  11. Hello there! Do you know if they make any plugins to protect against hackers?

  12. Als Unternehmer sollten Sie zu jeder Zeit genau und schnell beantworten können, wie viel Bargeld sich in Ihrer Kasse befindet.
    Um diese Anforderungen auch erfüllen zu können, müssen Sie einen Kassenbericht
    führen. Deshalb sollten Sie sich schon vorab mit diesem Thema genau beschäftigen. Für
    den Aufbau eines guten Kassenwesens und eine transparente Organisation ist diese enorm
    von Belang. Das gilt auch für Sie als Gründer.
    Damit dies einfach zu erledigen ist, sollten Sie
    eine Kassenbericht Vorlage für Word oder Excel dafür verwenden. Mit
    einem Kassenbericht werden alle Bareinnahmen und Barausgaben dokumentiert, die innerhalb
    von einem Geschäftstag anfallen. Wichtig ist, dass Sie ganz genau an einem Tag eingenommen haben. Die
    rechtliche Grundlage reihum den Kassenbericht finden Sie im Steuerrecht.
    Dieses Ergebnis aus den angefallenen Tageseinnahmen wird auch Tageslosung genannt.
    Eine besondere Rolle nimmt dabei das Thema Umsatzsteuer
    ein. Erst recht zwei bestimmte Paragrafen sind für Sie
    als Unternehmer zum Thema Kassenbericht besonders wichtig.
