Yesterday I got a chicken ceasar salad for lunch. It was HUGE and very, very tasty. I saved about half of it for lunch today. Yum yum, I’m eating my lunch. Say, what’s that little black thing? A bit of charred chicken breast? No, THAT’S A DEAD FLY.
IN MY SALAD.
Dammit. Now I’m grossed out. But it’s a really tasty salad, and I’m still really hungry. Besides, I threw the fly out, so it’s not like there’s a dead fly in my salad anymore. I hope. And it didn’t bother me last week when I almost drank the dead spider floating in the glass of water on my bedside table. I just threw the water out, refilled the glass, and kept drinking. Still . . . .
I’d also appreciate it if anyone can tell me exactly what power keeps putting dead bugs into my food and drink. Two in a week? I’ll watch out for the tarantula in my desert tonight. Sheesh.
Heh…after I hit submit, I thought of a funny little anecdote you’d probably appreciate.
My stepkids-to-be are 12 and 7. Both of em can eat like nobody’s business. (They’re overweight, but we’ve been working on it). On weekends we have them, the youngest (my sweetie’s son who will eat anything not tied down if allowed to) almost always gets up before anyone else.
Apparently this particular morning he decided to not wake sweetie or I up to fix him some breakfast, and made himself a bowl of cereal.
His sister got up about an hour later, and when she went to fix herself a bowl of cereal discovered the box of cereal was full of sugar ants, and woke both of us up.
We questioned his son about the bowl of cereal he’d eaten, and asked if he noticed it had had ants in it.
His reply?
“Yeah, but they were dead after I put the milk in, so I just ate em. I couldn’t even taste them.”
This guy thinks spiders taste good. Those that are squeemish may not want to click on the link. And flies are loaded with protein. I had a motorcycle as my only mode of transportation for a while when I was in high school. I also had an open face helmet so I ate quite a few bugs. Ever have a moth fluttering in the back of your throat? I had to stop and get a drink of water to wash it down.
