Currently 101 degrees. This calls for a nice, tall, cold beer.

Good thing I have 28 oz mugs I keep in the freezer. 🍺

I've had them and grasshoppers both. Korea.

I liked the grasshoppers, they were crispy and salty. They tasted like those sesame snack sticks. I had no idea what they were until I hit the bottom of the bowl and saw the legs. The Koreans I was with didn't know the English word. Oh well, they went great with the OB and Soju we were drinking. 🍺

I ate balut... twice.

Crickets would be like pretzels compared to balut.

Yep. After balut, and I had a 1000 year egg in Hong Kong since I didn't learn my lesson in PI, there isn't much that will put me off now. LOL.

balut I'm less likely to enjoy.

Can't stand food where you leave the bones in. It just bugs me. The sardines you eat whole... soft-shell crab... I'll eat it... but I don't particularly like the idea.

There's a beijing delicacy made from pig lower intestine... that's actually delicious

Fired up the pressure washer and cleaned the house. The siding and stuff, didn't do the inside.

Caught the chickens and clipped their wings since they been getting out.

Brats for dinner. Been thinking of making a smoked meatloaf, but not sure if that's even a thing. Tomorrow I'll give it a shot. Too many things to do today.

Wife wants me to book another camping trip next weekend I'm off. I hate weekend camping .

On these two things we can whole-heartedly agree, Victor. My wife cooks a lot of dishes that are very tasty, but I do not partake due to the bones issue. Her fish sinigang is good. But it has fish bones in it, and that's a put off for me. When I sit to eat, I want to shovel and chew... I don't want to be picking sh*t out of my teeth.

When I eat crab or lobster, which I absolutely love... I will get all the work done, first. Then I'll eat.

Tuna fish head soup broth is frickin' amazing... and I'll eat it with rice, but ya damn sure know I'm putting the rice on my plate, covering it with the broth, and adding chunks of (no bones) fish meat before I sit to eat.

True story... My wife makes chicken adobo while my pops is visiting... she brings me a plate, shredded chicken mixed with rice and broth already. She hands my dad a plate with broth covered rice and a chicken leg and thigh. Dad looks at his plate, then looks at mine and says... "Jesus, kid... you got her trained".
