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. Das ist aber wirklich nur in ganzen seltenen Fällen notwendig.
    Solar-Bewegungsmelder: Dieser Bewegungsmelder braucht keine Batterien und lädt sich
    nur mit Sonnenlicht auf. Es herrscht ihn auch in Kombination mit einer Solarlampe, wie Testberichte zeigen.
    Dieser Präsenzmelder nimmt auch Personen wahr, die sich stillhalten und sitzen.
    Präsenzmelder: Hier haben Sie es mit einem sehr hochwertigen Bewegungsmelder zu tun. Unglaublich
    viel genauer werden von ihm auch Veränderungen bei der Helligkeit wahrgenommen. Wo kann ein Bewegungsmelder montiert werden? Es kommt immer darauf
    an, welcher Einsatz für den Bewegungsmelder gedacht ist.
    Kommt er nur im Außenbereich zum Einsatz oder soll er auch innen seine Dienste leisten. Dementsprechend unterschiedlich sind natürlich auch
    die Montagemöglichkeiten zu beachten. Wenn Sie beispielsweise
    Ihren Smart Home Bewegungsmelder montieren möchten, kann dies an der Wand, an der Decke oder auch
    in einer Ecke geschehen. Ist Ihr WLAN Bewegungsmelder neben anderen das Fritzbox verbunden, müssen Sie natürlich auch darauf achten, dass er ein Signal empfängt.

    Besonders bei der Montage in Ecken müssen Sie
    darauf achten, dass der Sensor auch genügend Wahrnehmungsraum hat.

  4. Thank you for the good writeup. It in truth used to be a entertainment account it.

  8. 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.) sein. Zudem muss die Belegung der Leitungen eindeutig definiert werden können. Zunächst an der Zeit sein,
    die Anschlussmöglichkeiten an einem Bewegungsmelder richtig zu interpretieren. Auch am späteren Verbraucher sind diese drei Anschlussmöglichkeiten gegeben: L, N und PE.

    Weiters 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.
    Unterdies wird L vorm 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 allemal vornehmen, dass Sie den Bewegungsmelder komplett ausschalten und
    den Verbraucher dennoch auf Dauerstrom schalten können. Dazu können Sie die Bewegungsmelder im Gänsemarsch schalten. Beachten Sie bei dieser Schaltung jedoch, dass sich die Schaltzeiten beider Bewegungsmelder addieren können, wenn
    Bewegungen innerhalb beider Überwachungsbereiche erfolgen.
