In September 2009, I spent my 28th birthday with Jeremiah, Julianna and Liam in New Orleans, LA. Jeremiah was on a business trip for the week and so he took us along with him. The big kids were in school so they had to miss the trip. Jeremiah had to work everyday and could only spend evenings with us--so I was pretty much left to fend for myself and have fun in the Big Easy with my two kiddos. I got really good at getting around using their trolley car system with two small kids, a diaper bag, and a stroller.....anyway back to the picture...
The day after my birthday I got passes for us to go to the new Audubon Nature Institute also known as the Insectarium. It's the bug museum. We saw every kind of bug possible....and then I ate one....in a cookie! EW! Actually I couldn't even really taste it once I ate it. Every time I went to bite into it I'd squeal so I stood there freaking out about eating it for like 3 minutes before I finally bit into it. LOL! If you look closely you'll see brown things that look like chocolate chips, those are meal worms. Yay for me! I eat bugs. After I took the inaugural bite of this cookie I ate a few more, then I tried this southwest chip dip with crickets in it and it was so, so, so delicious. Except I had gritty little cricket legs in my teeth for awhile after.
P.S. I look so sweaty because it was September in New Orleans and OH.MY.GOODNESS. it was hot and sticky and gross and humid AND I got off the wrong trolley exit and walked like 3 blocks to get to the Insectarium. BLECH!

Oh, I just don't know what to say....except maybe that you'd be able to survive in the wild on grubs.
You never cease to amaze me.
I bet your momma was giggling hard!
Love you!
EWWW! You just had it do it, didn't you? Crazy girl!
This is crazy.
The only way I would do it..is because of a dare.. or if I were on Fear factor or something.
You have guts woman! *literally*!
my stomach is cringing right now.
Gross!! You are braver than me for sure! I've seen chocolate covered bugs at a few places and NEVER thought of eating them.
Thanks for stopping by my blog after I saw your post on Talk of the Week. It's fun to see your blog too. And I see that Ann Marie (one of my friends) is your blogger friend too.
