So my Mom & I had a wonderful, and certainly MEMORABLE, night at Yankee stadium on Friday night. Wonderful since the night started out GORGEOUS...MEMORABLE because we ended up in the middle of a near TORNADO (think lightening streaking across the field, SOAKING rain & winds!). It was INSANE!
But before the twister blew through the Bronx...we were having quite a pleasant evening! Nice view, nice breeze...just a picture perfect night...
I surprised my Mom with tickets that gave us access to the "Jim Bean Suite Lounge," so we headed there for our eats before the game...
With a "Food Network" influence...apparently...;)
We started with the "New Stadium" CLASSIC...and split the garlic fries....
Oh, we smelled AMAZING after these babies, as you can imagine!;) These are like HEAVEN and PACKKKKKED with GARLIC! :) Yummmmmmm....
They got swept away as quickly as we almost did in those tornado winds:) hhahahahahaha...
Andddddd although my Mom opted for the baseball classic: The hot dog...I thought I'd take advantage of the yummy looking cheeseburger, topped with a fried pickle, in the lounge...
And I'm happy to report that it was seriously one of the best burgers I've had in AWHILE! (And that fried pickle was a PERFECT addition! Crispy salty goodness:) However, I almost must report that it damn well SHOULD HAVE BEEN given it's "game day" price tag...but it really was so so good, so I'll overlook that and not even mention it;) hahahahhaa....
After our dinner we headed to our seats and promptly began to ask the very important question....No, not who was going to win the game...but rather, what were we going to have for dessert?!! :) We were tempted by popcorn, soft pretzels (one of my favs!), PINTS, YES, PINTS of Italian Ice and Ice Cream being served (seriously??? Is a PINT of ice cream really necessary??? It's not like you can eat half and take it home!) But as soon as we heard "ice cream bars" being called out...our hands couldn't go up fast enough:)
This was a TOTAL treat that we don't often indulge in at the stadium...which could have been the reason it tasted like a million bucks! :) hahahahahahha....Happy Birthday, Mom! :) A dark chocolate & vanilla ice cream toast to you!
And even though A-Rod did NOT hit his 600th home run, we at least got to see Jorge hit his 1,000 RBI!
Hip Hip Jor-ge!! :)
And shortly after that, our picturesque evening turned into a scene from "Wizard of Oz" :) And our night continued with an hour of watching the blessed grounds crew clean up the field rather than visiting a colorful land of lions, tigers and a cool new pair of ruby shoes:)
Hahahhahaahha....although a little tornado wasn't gonna get my Mom out of that stadium! I think she'd take the Bronx over OZ anyday;) hahahahahhaha....
So minus a FEW snags, we STILL managed to have a fun night and one I don't think we'll EVER forget...for many reason:) hahahhahaha...I still had a few surprised up my sleeve at this point and since I had a completely exhausting (but WONDERFUL) Saturday, I'll fill you in tomorrow after I spend the rest of my day lounging today:) hahahhaahhaa...Enjoy the rest of your weekend!!
