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!

  3. Whats up this is somewhat of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
    I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding skills so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  4. 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 Befasst 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.) zu Gebote stehen. 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.
    Weiterführend können auch Lichtschalter in die Schaltung des Bewegungsmelders integriert werden. Wie Sie einen Bewegungsmelder zum Ausschalten schalten,
    zeigen wir in dem verlinkten Beitrag ausführlich.
    Auch die Schaltung des Bewegungsmelders bzw. des Verbrauchers
    auf Dauerstrom zeigen wir hier ausführlich.

    An diesem punkt wird L vorm Bewegungsmelder ebenfalls
    durch einen Wippschalter geführt, dann aber zusätzlich
    direkt mit L des Verbrauchers verklemmt. Kurz umrissen:
    Vorm 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 per se vornehmen, dass Sie den Bewegungsmelder komplett ausschalten und den Verbraucher dennoch auf
    Dauerstrom schalten können. Dazu können Sie die Bewegungsmelder in einer Reihe schalten. Beachten Sie bei dieser Schaltung jedoch,
    dass sich die Schaltzeiten beider Bewegungsmelder addieren können, wenn Bewegungen innerhalb beider Überwachungsbereiche erfolgen.
