Boys Boys Boys

I've been mentioning our overabundance of grasshoppers. Now, the boys are eating grasshoppers. They pull the heads off (the guts come out with the heads), clean out the insides with a small stick and fry them in butter. Sam called them "crunchy, scrumptious, and plentiful." with honey he describes them as, "the texture of bacon." He also mentioned they were "sweet and delightful."

I just had to tell a very disappointed Sam, that no, he was not allowed to eat flies.

Sam is the child who doesn't like eggs and took 5 years to learn to like chicken. But bugs are on the yes list?

Side note - they are offered actual food. I have tacos ready to go for dinner.
