Gavottes and the French Language

After dinner, I've finished off one chocolate NutriBar (that was so sweet - I can't believe the pack said that it was a low-calorie snack!!!) and sampled a Gavottes crispy choco crepe. Now, I feel a bit heady from the chocolate -- I get that sometimes, okay, most of the time. :) Gavottes was good but it's nothing exceptional, I'm afraid. BTW, it's made from France and I've been trying to learn the French language! Coincidence?!? LOL Nah, it's all in my head. :D

Well, I found this amazing website called FrenchPod and so far, I've learned how to ask someone their name (and introduce myself too), ask where the toilets are and so on in French. It's so informal and very fun. I listen to podcasts and... well, just go to the FrenchPod website and you'll see what I mean. It's the conversational, every day sort of stuff and of course, I'm on the Newbie level and I don't think I'll ever get farther than that. Honestly, it's not like I'm going to France any time soon - or ever! LOL It is just a beautiful language, I think.

Now, I wonder, how would my name be pronounced in French?
Je m`appelle Dana.

Hi Dada!

Just wondering... what's that NutriBar you're referring to that's low-calorie? Sounds interestingly good!

Mike, that's just it - NutriBar. I'm sure I looked at the manufacturer's name (because I always read labels) but I forget who makes it.

Hi Dada!

Came across this "NutriBar" made by Growers. I don't suppose this was the one you were referring to? The Choco Chip flavor's good! Not too sweet!

Yup - I think that's it, Mike. Glad you like it.

I think that most things taste "so sweet" to me. I'm a little nuts like that. :D

  Chicken Nuggets (Purefoods Chicken Breast Nuggets) Yum with BBQ sause. Sliced mango yung nasa taas, masarap din, matamis. Homemade Baked Macaroni Ordered from a neighbor for noche buena. It has beef, mushrooms and bechamel sauce. Still yum. Second year in a row na since  2022 noche buena macaroni . Pork tocino and scrambled egg (Pampanga's Best Original Tocino) with suka, syempre. Dry yung eggs huhu. Sinangag sana yung rice pero bagong saing kasi. Dapat sa fried rice yung day-old na maalsa para buhaghag. Speaking of... tagalog ako pero yung term na "maalsa" sa bigas, recently ko lang naintindihan 😁

Panda Express Everyday Bowl Delivery via Food Panda Panda Express PH:  "Everyday Bowl" 1 Entrée + 1 Side Orange Chicken + Fried Rice =  ₱  239.00  + rider's tip - discount voucher  Panda Express' orange chicken is already full of salty, sweet flavor so this many pieces is good for two if the other person is not very hungry. Bought their "Everyday Bowl" just to try since I was craving fried rice. Usually, I get the "classic plate" with 2 entrees + 1 side of mixed veggies.

Cold, Windy, Audacity, Congee

Lovely weather now. It's cold - not too cold that I have to bundle up - it's nice. It's windy outside too. Mosquitoes in my room are not afraid. It used to be that when you wave a hand over one that's "dining" on you, it would fly away. Now, when I feel an itch on my leg and put a hand over it ever so calmly, I squash the bug. Gross. Here was my dinner yesterday, chicken congee or arroz caldo . Suitable dish during cold weather 'cause it's filling and the spiciness from the ginger hits the spot.
