Made With Love

When I was on my mission in Hungary, the people there were predominantly Catholic. They took the Easter holiday very seriously. On Good Friday, Catholics aren’t supposed to eat meat. So, on Good Friday my companion, Elder Howe, and I went to McDonalds (twice) and had burgers to celebrate what we called Proud to Be a Mormon Day because we could eat meat (ironically enough though McDonalds was packed both times with people eating a lot of meat). So, I have carried that tradition on since I have gotten back from my mission. I always make it a point to eat a hamburger on Good Friday. Last year I went to Wendys, this year I decided to take it up a notch.



Owen, the restaurant aficionado in our Apartment, talked about how good Sammy’s was in Downtown Provo. We have wanted to go there for a while and after Owen got off work we girded up our loins and went there. It was a really neat place. Just a cool burger joint on a side street. They are known for their pie shakes. I had a Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake one and it was amazing.



I had the Masterpiece Burger and it was super good. Bacon, cheese, grilled onions and barbeque sauce with sweet potato fries on the side. So delicious! Anyway, it was a good time. Perfect way to celebrate Good Friday.



(P.S.---It became an even better Friday when I found out Jimmer Fredette has the same major as me. Props to the American Studies major!)
