First of all, Big Jake is not a man. It might have been named after a man, probably an amazing man. Big Jake is, in fact, an amazing burrito. The jalepeno sauce I could drink...but I digress. Our first meeting with Big Jake was because of our home teacher. We had recently moved across country, were out of money and food, and along comes our home teacher with a bag full of Big Jakes. Maybe it was the gift of love or maybe because we were all so hungry, but our lives were never the same. We discovered that Big Jakes were made in the same town where we attend the closest temple (Snowflake). Now I'm not saying that we go to the temple just to get a Big Jake but they do seem to go together. In fact, I've shared the experience with our Bishop and the youth of our ward when we do baptisms at the temple, then top of the day with a Big Jake. We've done it often enough that I associate a spiritual experience with Big Jakes now...all because of a faithful home teacher.

Ahhhh, the big Jake. I had one last night, and it wasn't even in conjunction with a Temple trip. (it was one of the best dates ever, though)
ReplyDeleteBasically, food can change lives. I really believe that. There is something so connecting about a good meal. It brings people together and is something people around the world have in common, a love to eat. A food like Big Jake that has a memory attached to it is kind of magical. It's like you can bite in it and your taste buds and and stomach and soul are just happy and memories of a single moment can come flooding back. Thank you for sharing, I think I'm going to go make a burrito now.
