We started Sunday morning with a classic Cheese Omelet, page 631. It tasted and was cooked just fine, but I am still omelet challenged. I can never seem to get it out of the pan in one piece, or folded in one piece for that matter. Needless to say it wasn't pretty.
After breakfast we headed out to Yankee Stadium for the first time in the new stadium. I was quite excited to see a ball game, the new stadium and of course sample some ballpark food. The new Yankee Stadium, although really cool by stadium standards, is missing some magic of the old stadium. The history just isn't there yet. However, nothing is lacking for food. They do a great job of sampling the best of NYC and then some. Pizza, steaks, pastrami, kosher deli, Nathans, Johnny Rockets, Sausage sandwiches, cheesesteaks, Brother Jimmy's Barbecue, French Fries, Sushi, Chinese, kinishes, popcorn, Carvel, pretzels, peanuts, Moe's southwest grill, an array of Pepsi products, Gatorade and all kinds of beer . We decided to stick with the old ballpark standbys. We started with a delicious fresh lemonade and a bag of peanuts as an appetizer for our pre-game. During the game we consumed Bronx Bombers! A Bronx Bomber is a grilled 1/4 pound Hebrew National hot dog on a hero roll instead of a standard hot dog roll. We also had some tortilla chips and cheese queso from Moe's Southwest. I didn't like these too much. The chips seemed like they were cooked in old oil. Its too bad because the white cheese queso was really good. Coco had a chocolate Carvel cone as his dessert and I went on a hunt for a beer and Cracker Jacks. I tracked down the Cracker Jack vendor, but I had a problem with the beer. I never thought to bring ID to a ball game and couldn't get a beer because they CARD everyone! So I went through a ball game sans beer.
Anyway the Yankees won, Johnny Damon tied his own record for career high home runs, Mark Texieria reached 30 homeruns & 100 RBI's in a season for the 6th season in a row, and Derek Jeter is only 11 hits away from the Yankee all time hit record. It was a beautiful day and a good time was had by all.
