A bad day in the ballpark...

[madbaker]

Is still better than a good day at work. I took yesterday off to go watch the Giants get shellacked with a friend. That wasn't great, but it was a beautiful day, the beer and garlic fries were tasty, and I got to catch up with aforementioned friend, who lives far enough away that I don't see her much.

Turns out she lurks here (Hi!) and so she was fairly familiar with what's been going on in my life. That feels a bit odd, but that is one of the reasons I write in this thing, and if I really cared about random people reading it I'd lock down more entries.

The only downside to yesterday? Galen likes garlic. I ate garlic fries. He spent much of the night washing my face.

What I'm reading: Eric Flint, 1634: The Galileo Affair

Lots of cats like garlic -- mine do. I found this out when I used to make a dish called "garlic and broccoli" and found the cats up on the counter (they don't get on the counter for anything else.)

What are garlic fries? Presumably not sticks of garlic deep fried, although that sounds like it might be tasty. Ever had the garlic chocolate from Gilroy? Bleah.

French fries with parsley and chopped fresh garlic. Yum!
It becomes a domino thing in the stands as the smell spreads and people get up to get their own.

I thought the parsely was cilantro?

You forgot to mention the salt.


But, I agree; the Garlic Fries at Pac Bell are amazing.

I suppose that next time I'm in Costco, if I remember, I can check the ingredients - but I'm pretty sure it's parsley.
