Apple pie a la Bretagne • French Apple Pie

150g butter (3/4 cup)4 eggsAbout 1 Tbsp vanilla sugar1 pinch salt1 pinch baking powder150g flour (roughly 1 1/2 cups)150g sugar (white or brown) (about 1 1/3 cups)500g apples (a sweet sort, I picked Golden Delicious apples) (Roughly 1 lb of apples)some powdered sugar2cl (about 4 teaspoons) Calvados (or Apple Brandy. You can leave out the Calvados if you don't have any).

• Step 1:• Melt the butter, let it cool down a bit while you peel

your apples, cut them in quarters and cut the center out.

Put your sugar, eggs, vanilla sugar, butter, salt and calvados in a big bowl and mix it until it's foamy.

• • Step 2:• Next, slice your apples into thin slices, like this:•

Page 10: France. American Airlines- $714, Nov. 20 – Nov. 28 Travel Time- Seattle to NY- NY to Paris 14h-30m, Distance- 6,023 miles

• Step 3:• Pour the flour and the pinch of baking powder into

your egg, sugar, and butter mixture and mix it up until it's smooth.

Then put about 4/5th of your apples in there, and gently mix it up until all slices are covered in batter.

Grease a round cake pan (medium sized) and pour everything into it, smooth it out. Remember the 1/5th of apple slices you have left over? Grab them and try to arrange them nicely on top of the batter. (As you can see, I tried to arrange them and failed!)

Bake the French apple pie around 200°C (395°F) on the lowest level in your oven for about 50 minutes. Please check on the pie regularly, and at around 35-40 minutes, if you see the top getting brown, cover it up with foil and finish baking.

• • Step 4:• This is what the French apple pie looks like fresh

out of the oven!• • Step 5:• Let the French apple pie cool off for a while, and

then dust the powdered sugar over the pie!

This is what a slice of French apple pie looks like, the apples create layers in the cake and it's really moist and has a lot of apple flavor!

French Folk SongAu clair de la lune, mon ami Pierrot Prête-moi ta plume, pour écrire un mot. Ma chandelle est morte, je n'ai plus de feu. Ouvre-moi ta porte, pour l'amour de Dieu. Au clair de la lune, Pierrot répondit Je n'ai pas de plume, je suis dans mon lit. Va chez la voisine, je crois qu'elle y est Car dans sa cuisine, on bat le briquet. Au clair de la lune, l'aimable Lubin Frappe chez la brune, elle répond soudain "Qui frappe de la sorte ? ", il dit à son tour "Ouvrez votre porte pour le Dieu d'Amour" Au clair de la lune, on n'y voit qu'un peu On chercha la plume, on chercha du feu En cherchant d'la sorte je n'sais c'qu'on trouva Mais je sais qu'la porte sur eux se ferma.

Under the moonlight, my friend Pierrot, Lend me your pen, so I could write a word. My candle is out, I've no more light. Open your door for me, for the love of

God. Under the moonlight, Pierrot replied, I've no pen; I'm in my bed. Go next door, I believe that she is in, For in the kitchen, someone lit a match. Under the moonlight, friendly Lubin Knocks at the brunette's door, she

suddenly replies "Who's knocking this way", he says in his

turn "Open your door, for the god of love." Under the moonlight, little can be seen The pen was looked for, fire was looked

for Searching this way, I don't know what was

found But I do know that the door, on them was shut.

Bastille Day

• Americans have The 4th of July; the French have Bastille Day. • On July 14, 1789, an outraged group of Parisians stormed the Bastille, a fortress and

prison in France where prisoners of influence were held, in hopes of capturing ammunition.

• Shortly thereafter, King Louis XVI and his wife Marie Antoinette took refuge in Versailles as the violent peasants pillaged and burned châteaux, and destroyed records of feudal dues;

• For the peasant class, the Bastille stood as a symbol of the hypocrisy and corruption of the aristocratic government - controlled mostly by nobility and clergy.

• This important event marked the entry of the popular class into the French Revolution.

• The French recognize Bastille Day as the end of the monarchy and beginning of the modern republic. The lasting significance of the event was in its recognition that power could be held by ordinary citizens, not in the King or in God.

• Today, Parisians celebrate this national holiday with a grand military parade up the Champs Elysées, colorful arts festivals, and raucous parties marking the holiday. Uncork a bottle of wine, pop in a Jacques Dutronc CD, and join the celebration!
