Bug Appetit

Got a recipe for ya. Take a thousand crickets levitra bestellen — frozen crickets are fine though local crickets from the farmers market are usually really fresh — and toss them in a little EVOO, then roast at 450F for about 20 minutes. (If they’re still kicking after 20 minutes, leave them in a little longer.) Huh what??!! This is a joke, right?

It’s not. And whatever you think about eating bugs, think again, because insects and other critters are both street food and high-street cuisine in some cultures — and they’re a renewable, sustainable food source, a green food.

Plus, it turns out that crickets are higher in protein, iron and calcium and lower in fat than animal-based meat products. (Next big weight-loss gimmick: a cricket diet, guaranteed to work because you will, well, eat less.)

But wait, before we think about crickets as food, let’s imagine the joy they can bring to a kitchen.

They signal the most glorious phase of summer, when often-unpredictable August gradually moves into golden sun-drenched September. Cricket song relaxes me. … Crickets take me back to childhood. I recall sipping ice tea or soda in Grandma Annie’s kitchen on late-summer afternoons to the chirping of crickets. ~ read Crickets in the Kitchen from French Kitchen in America

Your Bug Appetite So what do you think, would you sample a roasted cricket? a tasty grilled grasshopper? a toasted worm?

BlogHer food editor Alanna Kellogg has never eaten crickets, grasshoppers or worms but did once experience a real canning bug (okay, the connection is a stretch) which led to practical tips for home canning.

The Answer Lies At The End Of The Line

Things you may already know about Stanmore station: - it’s at the very end of the Jubilee line, north London - it’s in Zone 5 - it’s one stop after Canons Park

Things you may not know about Stanmore station: - it is connected to Bletchley Park, the place where the World War Two German Enigma code was cracked and is currently in not very good condition. 57 Turing Bombe machines were housed at Stanmmore and were part of the brainy effort to break the enigmatic cialis Enigma - the station is currently hosting a new Art on the Underground commission The Answer Lies at the End of the Line, a crossword themed new art work by artist Serena Korda

The brainy chaps picked for cracking Enigma were tested rigorously for problem-solving abilities and completing The Times crossword in under 12 minutes was one of the ways to prove intellectual capability. And that’s viagra completing it with the correct answers, not just randomly filling in letters until the grid is full. So the fetching black and white squares decorating the station are a reflection on that aspect of the history of the area, and also of the crosswords London Transport printed on the back of information leaflets that were given to thousands of Londoners sheltering the Underground system during the Blitz.

If you’re up for a bit of cryptic clue solving and hanging around waiting for that Jubilee line train to start, you’ll find that each crossword reveals a bit about a local group, be it the Stanmore Bowls Club, Stanmore Choral Society, the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital or the infamous Duke of Chandos. All crosswords were compiled with the help of local groups so it’s truly a local effort for local people, by local people.

The Answer Lies at the End of the Line, Stanmore Station until 30 January 2009. For more information and downloadable crosswords, go to The Answer Lies at the End of the Line website. Also check out Art On The Underground at Stratford Station.
