10. Macy - "Some degree of not straight (a memoir)"

Here’s today’s steak recipe:

-Brigham Young University Idaho, sweetened and condensed, 8 oz can (Formerly Rick’s College, BYU- I, often called BYU- I Do due to the high rate of marriages found in BYU schools, BYU- I is the stricter younger brother of BYU. It’s also the Lord’s 5th favorite school.)

-1 freshly picked Temple Sealing (Sealings are a marriage that takes place in the temple. Unlike traditional marriage, a sealing binds a couple for all eternity instead of until death.)

-A pocket full of Temple worthiness (In order to enter a temple, a person must speak with the bishop in a temple worthiness interview to make sure they’re, well, worthy to participate in temple ceremonies.)

-1 ripened Menace to society (A famous Mormon legend states that Brigham Young once addressed a congregation saying that any young man over the age of 25 [or 24 or 27 depending on who you ask] who is not married is a menace to society. The story is apocryphal but still really fun to bring up when you’re still in the closet and unmarried.)

Combine ingredients in a black bag and shake vigorously for 30 seconds (this both marinates and tenderizes the meat). Grill. Pair with the turning of the seasons.
