J'avais trop un crush sur mon boulanger, il est mims et il se rappelle tout le temps de la baguette de pain que je commande car je prend toujours la même chose, et de temps en temps il me fait une petite blague, bref très sympa. Sauf que c'est le genre de gars tu sais pas si il est sympa avec toi pour son taff, ou si c'est un peu plus que ça, du coup j'ai jamais rien tenté (surtout qu'il y a souvent le vieux boulanger pas bien loin et ça me gêne). Là ça faisait plus de 3 mois que j'étais pas allée à la boulangerie parce que pas le temps et envie de manger différemment, mais parfois je voyais mon petit boulanger fumer sa clope devant le magasin et ça me faisait plaisir. Bref jeudi j'avais rien dans mon frigo donc je passe à la boulangerie, et il était là et il m'a dit "Ça fait longtemps" et là il sort de derrière son dos la baguette que je prend à chaque fois, je lui dit "Ah vous vous rappelez" et il répond "Bien sur" avec un joli sourire et j'ai rougit un peu et c'était un très beau moment.

It's *definitely* not a date
[COMMISSIONS] - [PRINT] (Promo code UJABTZ still available until 11/19)
I love these two glhohkgkgjgk the silly 60s spies are cute ok ;; (and there is something about an american man and a russian man romancing each other during the cold war-)
Process (+ a long ass rant about what they are eating (with pics)) below vvv
For this one I wanted to challenge myself by drawing something that's really challenging for me : food ! It's really hard for me to make it look appetizing- I don't really like eating, and I don't usually bother to cook (why cook when I could just grab a baguette, a piece of cheese that could kill an american on sight, and combine the two to create easely one of the top 5 dish france has to offer ?), so I really struggle with making it look good lgkglflfofi but I'm very happy with how it turned out !!!
Welcome to my long ass rent on a very specific type of french food :
So the plan for this was always to have them eat at a french restaurant, but I could not resist doing something really personal and extremely specific to my hometown- so they are eating in Nice ! And Nissart cuisine is very different from the rest of France. Why ? Quick history (I swear this has something to do with food), Nice was a very late addition to France, only becoming french in 1860, before that point it was part of the kingdom of Sardinia (so not Italian, but pretty close). It mostly translate to it having it's own dead language "Niçois" (a derivation of "Provençal", the old french language of the south), it's own anthem "Nissa la bella" and a very distinct cuisine.
So what are they eating ? First, you'll notice they have a little plate of Pissaladière ! It's flatbread with caramelized onions, anchovy (this is a crucial part of the dish, if you exclude them your just eating onion pie (/neg)), and black olive (btw I checked the english wikipedia page for pissaladière- it's so shit omg nooo)
It's commonly free in restaurants, and served while you wait for your order (not all restaurants do that, but it's always so nice when they do fkfjkf). It's a pain in the ass to make, and all the ones you buy in boulangeries or stores are dogshit-
Ok for the actual dishes (It was hard to find something that would go well with red wine kgkgfjlfk because that means no fish-) ! Napoleon is eating roasted rabbit a la Niçoise ! The rabbit is flavored with olive oil, onions, garlic, lard and white wine (quick note, nearly everything we cook in Nice is in olive oil, not a big fan of butter). It's served with cooked tomatoes, rosemary, potatoes and black olive.
And Illya is eating two distinct things, 1) zucchini flower fritters ('beignets de fleurs de courgette' in french) ! More specifically, the flatter version (it taste more like the flower. The more crispy version tastes more like just oil (in my opinion)).
And 2) stuffed vegetable a la niçoise ('farcis niçois' in french) ! Just empty a tomato/zucchini/eggplant/bell pepper, stuff it with a mixture of meat, garlic, thyme, parsley and parmesan, then put bread crumbs on top.
PS : just wanted to share a quote from my evil advisor (@quijicroix) : "I'm glad the waiter brought their F cups" (this is my best attempt to translate : "damn le serveur de genre indéterminé qui ramene les miches !")

CHAMPIGNAC CC and STUFF PART 1
Before the upload of Champignac, let's talk about the CC used in the World ...
Let's face it, there is a little bit more CC used in Champignac than in our other Sims 3 Worlds, because we really wanted to create a French ambiance for a French flavored world :)
Don't worry : except 2 or 3 things, we still use the same creators stuff aka mainly ATS ( Around the Sims 3 ) and Cyclone Sue ( from TSR ) for the build part. And of course, our own stuff which is not huge :D like our Rabbit Holes you may find here on Tumblr ...
Before any further, the fantastic towers you need to get in order to fully enjoy Champignac come from MTS ( Mod the Sims ) and have been converted from The Sims Medieval by Votenga ( MEDIEVAL TOWERS & BUILDINGS ) you may find there :)
I hope you'll enjoy discover all these gems in Champignac ;)
our "Stadium" is the Football Club by Norn @ MTS and tumblr
the Junk Yard is based on : Old Art Deco gas station yard by flora2 @ MTS :)
le Marché Bio ( Bio Market ) is based on Farmers Market by efolger997 @ MTS
the Supernatural Tavern is based on Old Tomes bookstore by Vera J @ MTS
the Bistro of Champignac is based on Rattlesnake Juice by bellakenobi @ MTS
the Vampire Lounge is fully based on Pastor John's Church by Diwtay @ MTS
the beautiful City Hall of Champignac is a simplified version of a community lot by Jeanpass ( here on tumblr )
the Museum of Champignac we named : Villa Medicis is a creation of Petalbot ( Palazzo Venezia )
Let's talk now about the CC ...
As you already know ;) ATS made a lot of French stuff for the Sims 3. In fact, it's even THE Place to find everything you need to create a French flavored World :D so, here everything we used in Champignac

Ave à vous !
Savez vous que ce jour en 1793...
Naissance de la baguette de pain, un décret stipule donc que tous les Français doivent manger le même pain.
" La richesse et la pauvreté devant également disparaître du régime de l’égalité, il ne sera plus composé un pain de fleur de farine pour le riche et un pain de son pour le pauvre. Tous les boulangers seront tenus, sous peine d’incarcération, de faire une seule sorte de pain : Le Pain Égalité "
En ce XVIII ème siècle, le pain constituait environ 90 % de notre nourriture.
Rond ou long, la forme du pain suscite des interrogations sur son origine.
Selon certain c'est Napoléon Bonaparte et ses boulangers qui optent pour une baguette longue afin que les soldats puissent les transporter, dans une poche à l'arrière de leur habit et cette forme de pain est plus rapide à cuire.
Les pains étaient jusqu'alors ronds pour une meilleure conservation mais peu pratique pour les marches de ses soldats.
D'ailleurs un « pain Napoléon » dans la région cherbourgeoise existe avec une mie plus serrée, en forme de bicorne qui lui vaut ce nom créé à l'occasion de sa visite.
Maintenant d'une longueur de 80 cm et d'un poids de 250 g, son prix a été fixé par arrêté préfectoral jusque dans les années 80 !
