The silly, pointless tradition of Lent kicked off yesterday in the Eastern Orthodox Church (it was last week with the Roman Catholics) so we unintentionally celebrated by having dinner at MacDo’s. We didn’t go for the food. We went because I found out that MacDo’s decided to have their infamous Shamrock shakes in all of their 14,000 restaurants! It wasn’t until I moved to Texas did I realize these unhealthy treats were a regional delicacy.
How were they? Somara couldn’t finish hers and I’ll go with that as her judgment. For me, it was just as I remembered…a vanilla shake with green food coloring! Before you ask, yes the side effects kicked in the following morning.
