the Amerikaner and a special Halloween version

So here in lovely Deutschland, the bakeries have a cookie called “Amerikaner”

This cookie is not a cookie that I have ever seen in the USA.  But it does a little bit resemble a black and white.

Well, today I stopped at the local backery in the train station on my way home from work for a loaf of bread and saw a cookie named:

HALLOWEEN AMERIKANER and this is what it was:

This is the actually cookie.  This is Halloween to someone at the bakery.  A Garden Gnome.  I had to buy this because this goes to on prove that Germany has not really embraced Halloween.  The first year I lived here, I had trick-or-treaters show up at the door 2 days before Halloween and then again 2 days after.  But none on the actual day.

Last year, no trick-or-treaters.  No one has parties either.  Such a disappointment.

So, there you have the Garden Gnome in all of his glory on a cookie, celebrating Halloween.

Here is “this is Halloween” from A Nightmare Before Christmas

Kloppenburg and Garnier (and Garnier vs. Nivea)

For everyone living in Germany, I am sure you have spent time in Kloppenburg. It is my favorite Drug Store (although I also like Ihr Platz).

http://firma.kloppenburg.de/

This week I found Garnier BodyRepair and the other Body Lotions by Garnier with Shea Butter on sale for 2,69€ (it is normally 3,99€). I mention before that I really like this stuff. It is really worth a try.

I know most Germans are really in love with their blue tins of their Nivea, but I find this so much nicer. Shea is much better for the skin than Lanolin.

(jmho..I am not dissing on the Nivea!, get out the Urban Dictionary, gentle)

Get them both, and test one on one side of the body and one on the other for about one week.

And see for yourself. (But really, even the bottle is sexier!)

This will be our topic this coming FRIDAY: Frei-Körper-Kultur

It means, basically:

Naked Germans

Regular Themes on HappilyKim

So, I have decided to really combine all of my blogs, as you may have noticed. Well, most of them, I will leave the Zippy Blogs and New Orleans book blogs, and the angry blogs where there are

(how many blogs, you may want to know? that is my little secret! I dunno, something like 20 or 30, I don`t even know for sure, I would have to go count…I do NOT write on all of them daily)

Themes for here I am doing or considering:

Monday….current events and music MusikMontag (yes, some of this will be in German!) AND What is going on in the WORLD!

Tuesday…Teacher`s Tuesday this is to share ideas with other Language Teachers, Classroom teachers, Professors, Instructors, etc

Wednesday.….HappyHumpday (Hump Day is a term for Mittwoch, or Wednesday) This will be a random day with random topics

Thursday…Tastefully Thursday What have you been cooking, what ARE you cooking this weekend? What wonderful restaurants have you been to lately?

Friday …Well, I think we all know that this must be Smut Friday

Saturday…ScentificSaturday (or SkinCare Saturday), fragrance and skin care reviews, with of course spill over from SmutDay

Sunday …SexySoulfulSonntag (Sunday), the theme being Blues, Soul Music, awesome videos from Youtube, and things that make you happy and relaxed, vacation ideas, you name it.

And of course, all of our random thoughts and comments and topics, as well in the mix!

Please tell me why Germans are obsessed with her, too? I do NOT get it :), yet it is amusing

South Park homework:

DEFINE:

Cheesing and what does it make you do and see?

What is the appeal? Have you seen the South Park? episode number 812 season EIGHT…go to (the title is “Stupid Spoiled Whore”…a favorite of Florian and also mine.

Oh, I am reasonably sure she is wearing that CHANEL that is discussed below. It really is the hottest selling black. (or one very close, I have to say I like her nails, but does this make me insane?)

Umm, in case you have not been here before, this site is not always work or kids safe. While I do NOT have anything truly offensive, it is rather open here. During the week, MONDAY-THURSDAY, this site and the current topics will be work safe. (to the best of my ability, but I cannot promise it 100 percent of the time.)
SOUTHPARK! OHHH!!! http://www.southparkstudios.com/

WAY WONDERFUL..official free site from SOUTHPARK!
