Saturday, after Maddy's fantastic birthday party, and before we picked up Justin to come hang out, we hit the big annual bugfest downtown at the science museum(sponsored by Terminex). It's crazy how huge this event is now. We went this year with only one purpose in mind- TO EAT BUGS!
One of the outdoor venues was Cafe Insecta where you can expand your global horizions by eating real, tasty bug dishes. (Tyrone was thrilled to be working) The boys tried Ant Sundaes and Crickett Quesadillas. Here's how it went down. The sundaes were ice cream, caramel and a sprinkle of toasted ants on top. No sweat, both boys ate them just fine and declared the dish "tasty". The quesadilla, not so hot. Taye couldn't bring himself to taste a cooked crickett even if it was covered in cheese, and Jaxon took a bite, thought about it too long and then threw it all up!
The boys are each $3.00 richer and I have these lovely photos!
-- your stories are too funnny - love the pics too--- Tyrone knows just what many sick people need- a bit of cheering up to help them forget their troubles and to remind themselves life is still worth fighting for.
ReplyDeleteEw! We once had a youth activity where a man from Laos hunted down fried crickets. He was popping them in like they were candy, and the kids were amazed to find out that the texture alone was enough to make people gag.
ReplyDeleteThe pic I want to see is of YOU trying them. :)
