Bugs.... YUM! :)

In most markets here in Chiang Mai you can find fried bugs to eat. We always see them and always say that we're going to try them sometime, but haven't yet. I really craved crickets when I was pregnant with Aashini, but never ate them when I was craving them.... so, when we were at a waterfall the other day and saw some fried bugs, we decided it was time :)
Adam went first and got the biggest grossest bug there (in my opinion) :)
He had a hard time biting though the wings - gross!! He said it was OK....
Next I tried my cricket. It actually tasted OK. It wasn't bad, but the cricket leg stuck in my throat wasn't that great... :)
Aashini tried one too :)
She liked it :) She thought it was funny to eat bugs :) On the way home, she got hungry and found the bag of bugs and just started munching on them - it was hilarious - she loved the grubs the best - haha! Yesterday she was hungry and asked for some bugs to eat!! What a funny third-culture kid we have :)

Are you kidding me? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! Adam ate a ROACH?! I can't even formulate words at this point, just a bunch of ?s and !s!?!?!

(But you ended this post on a VERY cute note with your little TCK asking for grubs :)
I love this post.
Not the roach part. That part made me scroll down quickly and body parts pucker.
The TCK eating bugs, however, adorable as it gets!

We have plenty of roaches in our house we could sell Adam. :) I'll even fry them and add in some salt if it means they would be out of our house! The part about Ashini is so very cute. :)

Hey, the fried silk worms are the best. Crunchy on the outside, gooey on the inside! :-)

How in the world do you crave crickets??? I gotta hear more about that. Have you had them before? Weird!!!

Hilarious. You guys are awesome. I love that you wanted to do bugs. Maybe we'll try them when we get there and see what our kids think. I might imagine the boys would like them.

I saw the "thank you for bugs to eat" comment. No idea she had actually munched on some. This is great!!

I can't decide whether Adam eating that huge roach makes me want to cry or vomit. It's unpleasant either way. Keep Aashini away from that crazy daddy!!!!

Emily, I'm totally with you on this one. :)

Campa Cola & Exploring :)

Today we had some things to do in the Central part of our city, so while we were there, we decided to take on some adventures :) Adventure #1 - the underground market. This market is pretty crazy. It's actually underground and has electronics & clothes mostly. They sell things pretty cheap, so it's an interesting place to go. Today we got an 64 Gig flash drive/pen drive for about $5. Crazy hunh? Here's Adam and Aashini in one of the stores. They're all REALLY small stores - about 10x10 feet I would guess (but I'm really bad at guessing that sort of stuff :)) We go here a lot to get things, so I guess it's not a new adventure, but an adventure nonetheless. Before the next part of our adventure (the real part of our adventure) we stopped for lunch. Aashini will always eat at McDonalds, so that's where we went :) They just started selling chicken nuggets here at McDonalds, so it's super easy to get her to eat there :) This McDonald's had high chair

Starbucks!

 Starbucks opened in our city last night!!  I'm not a huge coffee drinker... but I was excited about the opening!!  (I think I like Starbucks because of all the green! haha!... Aashini and Diya think the mermaid on the logo looks like me... haha! Maybe it's the weird wavy hair :)... not sure :) ) Anyway, we got there and the line was SUPER long!  The wait time was about 45 minutes!!!  There were so many people there!!!  I tried to get a pic of all the people... (that's why this picture is at an annoying angle... I was trying to get it all in in between the columns :))    Here's Aashini doing a jumping picture!!  The girls tried to do a jumping picture :) haha!  haha!  They had a few spills along the way :)  I never got them both jumping :)  Stuff for sale....  OK, one more because I think they are cute :) haha!  People waiting in line :) Some friends that made it inside! :)  We decided not to wait in line... So we'll

Funny Things - Age Appropriate?
