A chicken in one hand, bread in the other. J(3)'s favorite thing to do is feed the chickens.

Eating fried worms.....

Yes, you read that right. Z (12) decided to do a project on edible insects and found many, many, many recipes online, even cookbooks, you name it!! Before I knew it, they were donning sweaters, grabbing shovels, and heading out into the yard. I immediately called my best friend to make sure I wasn't out of my mind allowing this.

However, I did insist he could not use any of my cookware, utensils, etc.

And their reactions?

Z(12): "Very interesting. Next time I'll use crickets!"
A(9): "It doesn't really taste like anything except bread crumbs."
H(7): "It tastes like bread crumbs and worm...except that I've never had worm."

Incredible!!
