Fashion at Guist'hau Today

GUIST’HAU TODAY

Caroline
How much money do you spend for clothes in a month?
  •   About 50€ (~71$)
Is fashion important to you in high school?
  •   Yes kinda, but I don’t really care about what people think of me!



Victoire
  •   20€ (~28$)

  •       Yes, because I think you must be presentable in high school, and fashion shows who you really are, your personality. It shouldn’t be a dilemma!


    Antoine
  •   Between 150 and 160€ (210-230$)

  • Fashion is always important, doesn’t matter if you’re at school, or not! I really don’t care about the way people judge me, if I’m dressed this way, it’s for me.


Albane
  •    It depends, from 100 to 150€ (140-210$)

  •    No, not really, even though I love clothes.




                                  Steven         Nolwenn
  •   Her : About 60€ (85$)
     Him : Between 0 and 50€ (0-71$)
  •     I don't care at all!! It really doesn’t matter, it’s really because we have to dress.


 Florian

  •  100€ (~140$)

  •  I like fashion, but I would be able to come to school in sweat pants! I don't care how others see me.







 Ophélie et Charlotte

  • We spend about 500€ a month  (~700$)

  • It's very important for us, we would never come without make-up to school. Every morning, it takes me about 45min to get dressed.

Cooking

Hi !
We're Victoire, Anaëlle and Quittrie, three friends who love cooking, that's why we wanted to show you some French recipes ! French cooking is revered by everyone (we all know that you dream about it). So we have decided to share our experience with you (even if it's quite basic) and to make you become a real « Français » !



Recipe of the « Charlotte » :

500g of strawberries
100g of strawberries for decoration
25cl of milk
35cl of single cream
1 vanilla pod
4 eggs
6 table spoons of sugar
1 tea spoon of maizena (or of starch)
4 gelatin sheets (that is 8g), put soaking into some cold water
1 box of sponge fingers
Whipped spray cream for decoration

Preparation :

Begin by making the side dish of the charlotte :
Stir in the boiling milk and the split vanilla pod, cover and let infuse
Whip egg yolks with 3 table spoons of sugar to obtain a white foam
Incorporate the maizena, then the warm milk
Put back all the ingredients back in the pan and thicken on a low heat, without letting it boil
Remove from the heat, add the pressed gelatin, mixing it so that it dissolves perfectly, then let it cool.
Whip the fresh cream, adding 3 table spoons of sugar in the course of the operation.
Incorporate this whipped cream into the vanilla cream.

Finally, proceed to the assembly of the « charlotte » :

Find a mould for « charlotte » made of plastic film (or aluminium)
Mix the pieces of strawberries in the middle of the cream side of the dish.
Pour ½ of the side dish without the strawberries into the mould, cover with a coat of biscuits, put in the side dish with the strawberries.
Compress the dish slightly using a plate.
Let the charlotte rest in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
At the time of serving, turn the charlotte out of the tin and decorate it with the remaining strawberries and with the whipped cream.

NANTES BY NIGHT

Nantes by night is very different from Nantes by day. First of all you don't meet the same people by night. During the day you see all kinds of people whereas by night you see young people especially in groups. They hang out in clubs, bars, or go to gigs. They can hang out with their families too, go to theatres or restaurants.





On March the 25th we went to a gig, "Le Off de Chantenay" This was a rock gig organised by Chantenay's school. Gathering the students bands like :
-Red Lily playing Led Zepplin's songs The Stones, The Beatles...





-"The Crew" (Simon a student of our class is the drummer) even played with Manou, "Elmer food Beat"'s singer.







 Of course there was also bad musics, we mean, bands of young teenages who din't know well how to sing, or play an instrument. It wasn't exactly what is usually called music...
