Baseball cravings

You will soon know that the hubby and I are Lakers fans true and true. Our wedding colors were, yes, purple and gold.

But baseball...I'd rather watch the highlights on ESPN.

Our friend had four free tickets to see the Angels vs. Mariners at an Angels home game in Anaheim. So we joined him in some pretty good seats near the action.

But really, what's an ambivalent baseball spectator like me to do during nine slow innings?

What else? Eat!

Now, I'm not overly excited about overpriced food.

The Angel Dog was like any other hot dog and our nachos were--at $8-- the most I've ever spent on processed cheese.

Quite disappointing...




But what did I expect? Gourmet food?

Just as I about to write off this baseball outing as an uneventful evening in sports and stadium cuisine (the game dragged on for 14 innings), something wonderful happened.

Our friend's cousin tipped us off on the most amazing cheddar fries ever...ok, maybe amazing is a stretch but after our overpriced meal of hotdog and nachos, this mound of carb goodness had our taste buds dancing.

Golden, crispy, oozing with cheese and whatever unhealthy topping you want. Better tasting and the better deal at $4.50. But they're a little hard to find. Head past the the food vendors, near the smoking section and you'll find a stand selling them. Still can't find them, ask someone and they'll know what you mean.

So, if you don't catch a homerun ball, these cheddar fries might be your next best thing!
