It's Lent! Forty fun-filled days of reflecting, refraining and repenting! And for Catholics, it's that time of the year we love to rub our guilt-ridden, suffering psyches onto the general public by NOT EATING MEAT ON FRIDAYS!!!
Yes, we love to show the world how "good" we are at suffering this time of year. But there's a secret weapon...THE LENTEN FISH FRYS!!! It's not hard to refrain from meat when you can go to your neighborhood church and pay a few bucks to feast on fresh, tasty, all-you-can-eat fried cod. Plus, during the Great Recession, it's a cost-effective way to feed a family, support your church, socialize with friends, and enjoy a night out with the kids.
So, in honor of Fish Fry Fridays, we came up with a truly dorky idea. We are going to hit a different church fish fry every Friday for the rest of Lent. We'll take photos and rate each one. We wanted to come up with a clever name that really captured the essence of our mission...but none came to mind (any ideas are welcome). To ensure the utmost accuracy, a scientific rating system has been devised:
The Buddy Christ Fish Fry Rating Scale
Each fish fry will be ranked on a scale of 1-5 "BCs", with 1 being "Depths of Hell" to 5 being "Heavenly Perfection".
Proposed Tour Schedule:
March 6 -- Sacred Heart
March 13 -- Christ the King
March 20 -- St. John's Basilica
March 27 -- Immaculate Conception of St. Mary's
April 3 -- St. Francis of Assisi
Stay tuned...the first recap of Sacred Heart will follow!
