My study abroad experience in Nice, France and any voyages taken in the spring semester of 2013 as illustrated by the food that I've eaten, either prepared by myself or had in restaurants. The former is not impressive but the latter is awesome!

Cagnes-Sur-Mer

Today was a rainy day, so I went with two of my American friends to a house in Cagnes-Sur-Mer at which one of them was housesitting. Cagnes-Sur-Mer is a small town really close to Nice; we took the bus for like 25 minutes and we were there.

Cagnes-Sur-Mer is mentioned in On the Road by Jack Keroauc as a city visited by one of the characters, if anyone was wondering. 
The house was cute and had an awesome view of the hills around Cagnes-Sur-Mer. The house also had an oven, so we were stoked to bake something because the university residence kitchens don't have ovens.

Helen was our host. She's a fan of baked goods too. 
We stopped at the local grocery store to get ingredients for pizza. It turned out awesome. 
For the base we used garlic, parmesan cheese, and crème fraîche, which is the French version of sour cream without as much sour. And then we put more cheese, onions, bell pepper, and tomato on top.

Ovens are magical, as was this pizza. 
We made salad with walnuts, cheese, onions, and raisins. And homemade dressing. 

It's like we're almost real people. Who can cook things. 
 For dessert, we baked apples with oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Plus tea/coffee.

Real people who eat dessert with their meals!
Helen was so jealous. But we're best friends now anyway. 


Side note: After the rain, the waves were crazy at the beach!
They came up so high that you couldn't even walk on the beach.
