Leave-in
Heavy user
Since a couple of years I have been a heavy user of Kiehl’s products; shampoo, shave cream, conditioner, moisturizer.
To my surprise I noticed that Kiehl’s has opened a store in Amsterdam.
Of course the leave-in hair conditioner is probably an illusion, but compared to other illusions a fairly beautiful one.

My god, you are back. I didn't deserve this.

Laura is a US citizen. Do you need keywords for the love letter? Capsouto Freres is on 451 Washington St, near Battery Park.

If Laura is a US citizen I’m very much interested in marriage.
Obatzda
Arnon, you told me if I could translate words like Obatzda you would take me out for a swim.
The origins of the word Obatzda are clearly explained on the german wikipedia.
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obatzter and on the english version
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obatzda you can find a rough translation, namely mashed one.
I however after carefully preparing and tasting the recipe came to the conclusion that the perfect english word for it is SMASH.
Will this do for a swim?
Mieke
This will do for a swim.
But please explain smash. Do you think a New Yorker or a Londoner would think of food when you tell him: "I'm going to offer you some smash."
Are there any readers familiar with the word smash in this context.
In the culinary world smash means mashed patatoes, so I think we should call it Camembert Smash.
mashed
That's not right. One should say 'mashed potatoes.' So can I go for a swim with you now?
I always leave in my ordinary Hema conditioner. It works pretty good. Way better for your curls.
mieke
Sorry Mieke, i did not read your comment very well.
So consider my words as unsaid.
But still i don't like the word smash on a menu.
@ Anna
As an alternative I thought of the word SMACK. What do you think of that one?
I noticed that I typed potatoe wrong.
Smack, crack, pot
No, not really.
The idea of the menu is to inform customers, isn't it?
Cheese mash exists in English.
Flavourish Cheese Mash served with authentic German beer and homemade bread . Hmmm.
smash
In the UK Smash is instant mashed potatoes. Well. Doesn't match with other words on the menu like homemade, farmer's, fresh...
