CRICKET (ADULT)



Cricket (Adult) image

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.
