France:
Last week several countries had WWII Victory day. One of them was France. This say is known as VE Day. and is celebrated on May 8..
Movie:
The movie that I watched for this was Populaire. This film was released in 2012. It takes place in 1958, before it was really popular for women to be in the workforce. Rose enters the workforce as a secretary, but she just can't cut it. However, her hiring manager notices that she is a fast typist. She is not a perfect typist, using the one finger pecking method. He enters Rose in a series of typing contests, coaching her along the way. Eventually, they get to the international typing contest in the United States.
This was a cute movie, but it was sort of bitter sweet seeing her go against the American competition. They did however say nice things about the U.S. Something along the lines of the "America for Business, France for Love".
Food:
For France, I made a Quiche. I was trying to be healthy, so I used egg beaters egg whites, fat free creamer, and low fat swiss cheese. Since I was over at my dad's, I used a gluten free crust. It was actually Pilsbarry Gluten Free Pizza Crust.
Ingredients:
