Frozen Cow By-products eaten with Precious Metal Utensils

So, the "golden" surprise I mentioned in the last post is...


(drum roll please)


Golden Spoon is now in Orem, UT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


This is Julie's all-time favorite frozen yogurt shop in the world. I would even venture to say it is her all-time favorite frozen dairy dessert, aside from Chocolate Malted Crunch. Here is how the surprise came about. Yesterday, on my way home from work, I stopped by Harmon's in Orem to pick up a couple of things. As I was leaving the parking lot, I was looking at what other stores are by Harmon's. (I don't go to Harmon's all that often.) I knew there was a Brick Oven location next to it, but just as I was getting ready to leave the parking lot, I saw Golden Spoon with a sign saying "Open". After recovering from the shock and excitement (and from almost hyperventilating and being a danger to other drivers) I decided I would surprise Julie with a trip to the 'Spoon of Golden Awesomeness'.

When I got home, I told Julie and had a surprise for her. She tried questioning me, but I refused to ruin the surprise. I quickly changed and then Julie and I headed out to run our errands and head to dinner. As we were driving, I started heading north. Everything we had planned was to the south in Provo. Just before we got to Harmon's I told Julie to close her eyes and not to peek. I turned into the parking lot, parked the car, and helped Julie out. With her eyes still closed, I led her to the door and into the shop. Once inside, I told her she could open her eyes. She did and after and few seconds, it registered as to where we were. She immediately started squealing like a kid who got everything they wanted and more for Christmas from Santa. This alerted the worker, who had been in the back. We then enjoyed the golden deliciousness and headed on our way.
