Dead relatives are starting to welcome me with garlic fries and club seats...

The Great Baseball White-Out Continues.

Scores of games are being canceled because of this freak storm. This includes the Giants-Pirates doubleheader scheduled for today. Losing these games makes things very tricky, since the two teams only share three common off days the entire season. I foresee a lot of games getting added to the last week of the season, and a late start to the post season.

I endure. The weather yesterday let me pretend it was January, and there wasn't any baseball anyway. At least today I have beer (yay!) and can watch The West Wing DVDs. But it's not the same. I mean, there's a difference between jumping up from the couch shouting "All fucking right!" after Omar Vizquel backhands a line drive to start a 6-4-3 rally-killing double play and doing the same when Sam and Josh find an obscure section of Congressional policy that allows them to insert an amendment into the trade bill.

Just not the same, y'know?

What are garlic fries?? They sound good...

[gridlore.livejournal.com]

French fries with chopped fresh garlic on them. They are the iconic Giants food, along with the Polish Dog and the Cha-Cha Bowl.

Fresh garlic fries and a cold beer are heaven in the bleachers, but you need to eat them quickly, before the fries go cold (happens quickly in our ballpark.) You can lick your fingers at your leisure.

Here's the recipe used by Gordon Biersch at the ball park:
