Escape of the Six-Legged Snacks

Tea: Jacob's Dream

Music: Chris Isaak, "Only the Lonely"

Time: Night

Just my luck today. My son and I saw hundreds of grasshoppers -- and had nothing in which to store them.

So we couldn't catch them ... purge them overnight ... boil them in the morning in salted water seasoned with oregano and garlic ... and then sauté them in oil with jalapeño chiles.

(Yes, we've done that once already. And it was gooooooood. No "ewww" allowed.)

Ah, well. It's a long summer. There's bound to be a skillet full of bugs on the horizon.

And yea, verily, it will be good.

Take two, they're small.

Tea: Blood Orange.

Music: The Sweet, "Fox on the Run"

Time: Night.

It's been an up and down night. Disappointing on one front, hopeful on the same front. Don't ask me to explain. No, really. Don't ask.

The sparse company was, at least, pleasant. And I heard a funny story over the phone about a gosling.

And I've got a fridge full of art reception leftovers. Anyone want a cheese cube?
