CRICKET (ADULT)
When I was little my grandmother rented a cabin in the Pocono Mountains in PA. I remember she served the adults in my family either grasshoppers or crickets. I remember thinking the drinks were so beautiful looking. We use to sit in Adirondack chairs made out of logs and listen to the Little Bushkill River sing through the trees. *Note: Cooking time is blending time.

Tips:
- When preparing crickets for consumption, be sure to remove the wings, legs, and head. This will make them easier to eat and more palatable.
- To remove the wings, legs, and head, simply grasp the cricket firmly in one hand and use your other hand to pull them off. You can also use a pair of scissors to cut them off.
- Crickets can be cooked in a variety of ways, including frying, roasting, baking, and boiling. They can also be eaten raw, although this is not as common.
- When frying crickets, be sure to use a high heat so that they cook quickly and evenly. You can fry them in oil, butter, or even bacon grease.
- When roasting crickets, be sure to toss them with a little oil and seasoning before placing them in the oven. You can roast them at a high temperature for a short period of time, or at a lower temperature for a longer period of time.
- When baking crickets, be sure to spread them out on a baking sheet so that they cook evenly. You can bake them at a moderate temperature for a period of time, or until they are crispy.
- When boiling crickets, be sure to bring the water to a boil before adding them. You can then boil them for a few minutes, or until they are cooked through.
- Crickets can be eaten as a snack, appetizer, or main course. They can also be added to soups, stews, and salads.
