A Labor-Free Weekend

Saturday we went to the Orange International Street Fair with my parents. We ended up paying $10 for parking at a nearby church (well, actually my parents paid). The streets in Old Town Orange are blocked off and different community organizations run food booths representing different countries. We tried food from an Asian booth (not sure what country, Thailand?), Greek, Ireland, Denmark and Mexico. Pretty diverse, no? k seemed to enjoy everything...

Yum!

Saturday night we watched Cal win a close one in its season opener. I can't believe those guys are still in the trees around Memorial Stadium!

After church on Sunday we went to an Angels-Rangers game. Our tickets were the best I've ever had at a baseball game, mainly because we were in the shade the whole time. What luxury! The game wasn't too exciting (Angels lost, 4-3), but there were three ejections, so that was kind of fun to watch. Plus, we were able to find the elusive nachos! Every time we've gone to an Angels' game in the past, we see people with "loaded" nachos and wonder where they're from. D would try to order the "super" nachos at certain places, and it would always just end up being chips and cheese. After some internet research I figured out that you have to buy the special nachos at Chili Peppers ($6.75), which is located on the outside perimeter of the stadium. They are quite filling! We also tried a pulled pork sandwcih from Beach Pit BBQ. It was good, but not worth the $9.75 price.
