There are more vegetables here than you've seen in America.

Tooo Cute
You, Joni Zalk are altogether too cute in that video from Thailand. It pleases me to see that some people's of the world have not lost their taste and appreciation for eating insects. I would try them all if I were there. Live outrageously, sister. Charley

Dude. I know how long you've been craving those grasshoppers. It's like, the whole time you lived in Boulder you couldn't shut up about how good they tasted and how much you wanted one with a little lime, a dash of salt, and some fresh cilantro. Then you forced me into the field in the backyard of your apartment and made us hunt for them. You started screaming at me that you wanted them fresh and taught me how to capture them alive. I still have nightmares about that crazy night --you out in the field with a net, sneakers, in a nightgown with your hair in curlers laughing in the full moon. *shivers*
