So, after the end of a long day of caching it is time to swap some war stories. Fighting off mosquitoes, poison ivy, thorns, and muggles. It will be a long grueling day, but the smileys are worth it. Now it is time to relax. So, stop on in and have a pint of beer to rehydrate your body.
Recipe: Fried Beetles
How to make fried beetles:
- Collect fresh squirming diving beetles either from your recently harvested rice paddy, or from a neighbor who sent their children to go frolicking in the field for a fresh catch.
- Bring your bag of wriggling beetles back home to be rinsed.
- Place in a large wok (legs and all) with water over a high burning wood fire. Stir continuously while the beetles are attempting to crawl out so that they are evening scalded and stop moving.
- Continue stirring until the water is evaporated, then add oil to fry them up nice and crispy. Keep frying until the fire dies out. Season as desired with MSG, salt or fried garlic.
- Serve with rice.
Eating instructions:
Pull off the legs and tear off the outer shell of fused wings. Pop into your mouth and crunch down with delight! Yummy!
