Hey fellow adventurers! For this post, I made breakfast, dinner, a snack and a dessert. However, I wanted to make food that I haven’t had before. Living in San Diego though, Mexican food is basically a part of my weekly diet. Like in the past, I’ll talk about proper etiquette and then share what food I made.
When dining at someone’s house, wait for the host or hostess to seat you. The most honored position is at the head of the table, with the most important guest seated immediately to the right of the host. Men sit to the right of the hostess and women sit to the right of the host. The meal doesn’t start until the host says “Buen provecho!” (the Spanish equivalent of “Bon appetite!”). When dining with utensils, never switch hands. The fork remains in your left hand, and the knife remains in your right hand. When not holding utensils, your hands are expected to be visible above the table: rather than placing your hands on your lap, rest your wrists on top of the table (never your elbows). When passing food around the table, always pass food to the left. When eating salad, don’t cut it, fold it with your knife and fork into a bundle that can be picked up with your fork. If you’re dining at a restaurant, the one who invites is typically the one that pays the bill. It’s also customary to leave a 10% tip for the waiter or waitress. Finally, it’s rude to leave the table before everyone has finished eating.
All these dishes I ate with my husband and my parents at my parents’ house. For breakfast, I made chilaquiles, a traditional Mexican dish that has strips of fried corn tortillas simmered in salsa as the base, and served with cheese, eggs, and/or beans. We made ours with only cheese and eggs but next time I want to add beans too. Surprisingly, the taste of the tortillas overpowered everything else. Although that’s not a bad thing, next time I make these, I plan on adding more flavor. Also, we decided to tweak the recipe to make it a bit more healthy by baking the tortillas rather than frying them in oil. We want to try to stay as true to the recipe as possible but all of us are trying to watch our weight. Also, since I’m so bad with spice, I put sour cream on mine rather than the hot salsa like the rest of my family.
A popular, quick and easy to make snack in Mexico is fresas con crema, made with cream and strawberries. It’s very creamy and delicious! I love strawberries and I love milk so this snack/dessert was right up my alley! If you love strawberries, I highly recommend trying this! It only takes a few minutes to make.
We started dinner with an appetizer: tortilla chips, spicy carrots and beer, just like they do at Mexican restaurants. We did this while waiting for the food to cook. It was a good way to start the meal!
For dinner, I made ceviche tostadas, pozole soup and aqua fresca. The ceviche I bought from a local farmer’s market rather than trying to make it myself though. I followed the recipe for the sauce to put over the ceviche and how to crisp up the tortillas. Once again, we ended up putting them in the oven rather than frying them in oil. Once again, I was worried about spice so I put sour cream on mine rather than the baja sauce. They were amazing! Definitely would have again! Though next time, I would put the tortillas in for longer cause they weren’t as crispy as I wanted. The pozole soup was amazing too! We didn’t have veggie stock so I used potato soup instead. It’s a bit spicy but if you’re bad with spice like me, you can always pair it with a starch like rice, pasta or potatoes to spread out the spice. And to drink, we had mango lime aqua fresca. I don’t think I would make it too often but it was pretty good. It tasted like watered down juice.
Finally for dessert, we had très leches, a sponge cake soaked in three kinds of milk: evaporated milk, condensed milk, and heavy cream. The recipe we used had us make too much milk but it was phenomenal! My husband took the leftovers to work and it was a big hit there too! I recommend this cake for special occasions, or even just cause! Just try it!
My parents brought out dessert tequila to go with the très leches cake. It’s delicious! I’ll definitely buy this sometime, and I recommend it to anyone who loves tequila.

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 Herumbasteln an 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.) vorhanden 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. Des Weiteren 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.
In diesem Fall 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 hintereinander schalten. Beachten Sie bei dieser Schaltung jedoch, dass sich die Schaltzeiten beider Bewegungsmelder addieren können,
wenn Bewegungen innerhalb beider Überwachungsbereiche erfolgen.

Hello, I enjoy reading through your article. I like to write
a little comment to support you.
Bei der Frage nach einem guten Bewegungsmelder kommt
direkt die Frage auf: Was sagt eigentlich die Stiftung Warentest diesbezüglich?
Leider hat die Stiftung Warentest noch keinen Bewegungsmelder-Test gemacht und noch keinen Testsieger gekürt.
5.4. Bewegungsmelder- was ist Unterkriechschutz?
Aber auch in unserem Vergleich betreffend finden Sie bestimmt einige schöne Anregungen. Mit seiner Hilfe können auch Bereiche unter dem Melder, die zuvor nicht abgedeckt wurden und als sogenannte tote Zonen galten, spielend einfach mit
in die „Überwachung” einbezogen werden. Der Unterkriechschutz ist eine tolle und sinnvolle Neuerung. 5.5. Bewegungsmelder – wie anschließen? Welche Preisspanne deckt der Bewegungsmelder-Vergleich der VGL-Redaktion ab? Um einen guten Überblick zu garantieren, wurden hier 13 Modelle von 7 verschiedenen Herstellern für Sie zusammengestellt – so können Sie bequem Ihre Lieblingsmarke unter folgenden Marken wählen: Steinel, SEBSON, Emos, Goobay, Homematic IP, Chilitec, REV-Ritter. Von 7,87 Euro bis 59,95 Euro ist hier je Budget etwas Passendes dabei. Welches von den 13 Bewegungsmelder-Modellen aus dem Vergleich.org-Vergleich hat mehrheitlich Kundenrezensionen erhalten?
It’s an remarkable paragraph for all the online viewers; they will get advantage from it I am sure.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts about 1419.team.

Hi this is kinda of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have
to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding
knowledge so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience.
Any help would be enormously appreciated!
