Anyone in the "Cicada Zone" have any cool stories to share about this craziness?

That there are supposedly some good recipes :) They are supposed to have a nutty flavor to them. LoL, I know it's kind of goofy, but hey, they're healthy.

LOL...yeah, I've heard of some of the fancier restaurants selling "Cicada-this" and "Cicada-that" but so far, in every instance, it's just a recipe named FOR the cicada...but doesn't actually containy any part of the bug. :P Maybe if they were dipped in chocolate???

Judy, I think we are supposed to get them here, although not as prevalently as VA, but I haven't seen any yet. I suppose if you've got them there, they should be here soon.

Well, you know, mostly ANYTHING dipped in chocolate is going to taste good. LoL :-D

Oh, hey, does anyone know where Jonah's little shopping list is. I've been looking for quite awhile now and can't seem to locate it.

I think this might be it - not sure if it's totally complete but here ya go :)

I don't see that many here, but I sure do hear them in our trees! They are goofy looking!!

LOL, those things used to scare the heck out of me when I was a little kid :oops:

Yeah, we even had them in NY, I could deal w/insects better when I was a child though..now, not so much.
