It is taking all of my mental and most of my physical capacity to endure life until tomorrow night when Germany plays Spain in the semi-finals of the World Cup.

The exhilaration!) , you might have caught drift of the way the German team is playing and though I've been a devoted fan since the age of five, when a sticker of Rudi Völler in all his permed and mustachioed glory found a permanent home glued to the underside of a shelf positioned right above my bed so that I could see him before I went to sleep at night and first thing when I woke up, I have to say it's never been this much fun to watch them play.

I stopped by one of the San Francisco bake sales, located at Bi-Rite, with my contributions (more on them below) and snapped a few pictures of the bounty on display: There was barely room on the table for all the contributions.
The outpouring of support from the baking community was lovely to see. Everything was beautifully packaged - people really went the extra mile to make their goods look pretty. A young customer trying to decide what to buy. Cupcakes 7 oz sugar.
