American food

Hello everyone!

Today, I want to tell you about an American peculiarity that fascinated me during my trip to the United States, last year.

I guess this is going to seem ridiculous to you or even foolish, but when I travel, I like to discover every "aspects" of the country, even the most inprobable. In this way, I gone at Target, an American supermarket.
You will be taken me for crazy but I found these supermarkets fascinating!




Everything is excessively large (big)! Our supermarkets have a pale figure compared to these enormous American shops. The section which impressed me the most is the one of ice cream! The ice traies are huge, they are three times more than those found here. In addition, there is a totally amazing choice of flavors and brands!




What I also liked was discovering all the "mythical" products such as mac and cheese (macaroni with cheddar) or cupcakes by the truckload but while a lot of other extremely original products than others (such as a hamburger in cannedfood).
I was like a kid in a toy store.
So, you can imagine that I tested a few products: Some excellent (like the reeses') and others straight atrocious as twizzler (sweets that we often see in American films).




Anyway, I brought a few of my favorite products in France.
Unfortunately, the stock was quickly out and I quickly running out of treats ... to my great despair.
Until one day, a grocery store, L’épicerie de Maud  selling products from the United Kingdom, Canada AND the US opened in Grenoble.
It was a bit of a revelation to me and even an extreme joy!



So, if you too like peanut butter and cinnamon in all their forms, I invite you to go as fast as possible at this store because many natives supply there !

Orphan Black: a brilliant TV show!

Hi everybody!

I comeback today to talk to you about a great TV show! I must admit that I don’t watch very often this kind of videos
The only one I watched completely is The Mentalist. I don’t know why but all of these seasons loosing me and wait more than one year between each season boring me because I forget plots. It was the case for Pretty Little Liars and Lost.
For the first one, the story is always the same and for the second one, a lot of secrets aren’t resolved.

But the TV show that I will present you is simply addictive! This is Orphan Black, a story take place in a near future with a major scientific breakthrough: human cloning.
Here’s the synopsis: Marginal and orphan, Sarah is the witness of a woman’ suicide.
After considering, she decided to take on the identity of this woman, which looks like her remarkably. She discovers that they are in fact two clones, other exist and are the target of a killer who tries to eliminate them one by one.

We might think that, this seen and reviewed, however, this TV show of science fiction is very good put together and works very well.
First, the plot is absolutely crazy! More we advanced in the seasons (only two came out for the moment) more we discover the extent of the “problem”. Each episode adds mystery to the main plot and never gets bored.


Then the characters are amazing! All have a unique personality, which gives relief to the series. But it’s especially the actress playing the main character Sarah Manning who has more merit because she also plays the other clones. I was afraid of behing embarrassed by it but in reality, we don’t even realize that this is the same actress as the games are different and well thought out.
Finally, what I like also is that this series is both frightening and full of suspense that funny! Dosage is perfect.


I can only encourage you to look this TV show but I warn you, you will not be able to detach! Plan a day to watch the entire season if you are as impatient as me!
