Another Halloween treat, this time the Berliner

F went out for the Saturday morning Brötchen for our weekend breakfast and he found a Halloween treat at another Bakery.  This time it was a Halloween Berliner (Jelly Donut).

Check this one out:

So I must ask, which is SCARIER?

The Devil Pumpkin Guy?

 

OR

 

Our Garden Gnome?

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

Germany has a spot in the World Cup

Football, or Soccer.

Big game tonight in Moscow against the Russian team for World Cup qualification.  Germany won (1-0)

Some cool pictures below:

The coach, Joachim Löw.  He looks like he could be a Beatle to me.  (not the insect, I mean jamming with Paul, John, George and Ringo)

Klose, in an interesting position.

Adler, the goalkeeper (a rather good looking guy and a really good keeper)

The team!  Congrats boys!
