It's always a little too cool where we're at and it seems to take forever until we see any progress.<br /><br />Your outdoor paella is a joy to look at, and I will have to find some way to convince my husband that we need a grill large enough to be able to pull off something like that!Rowenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15335673619430109527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-441141568118034925.post-64853261449909872572009-06-23T16:26:04.519+02:002009-06-23T16:26:04.519+02:00Re- Locusts I had a friend here for lunch today an...Re- Locusts I had a friend here for lunch today and the topic turned to which insects we have eaten, must have been my cooking :-) apart from small things hidden amongst lettuces and fruit I haven't really ventured far in this direction but my friend was brought up in Africa where a whole range of insects are eaten and apparently locusts and crickets are delicious fried. Locusts play havoc with my corn tassles and bean flowers resulting in much reduced crops so this year I am going to try and catch some and dispatch them on the plancha - with some salt and garlic. Will let you know if they are good eating.Laurahttp://www.masdudiable.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-441141568118034925.post-70946149739851090602009-06-22T21:59:51.783+02:002009-06-22T21:59:51.783+02:00I'm determined to pick small courgettes this y...I'm determined to pick small courgettes this year. Though I love them I find a glut of them quite depressing. They become a chore which is a pity. <br />It is always interesting to see which pests are annoying garden bloggers world wide!easygardenerhttp://greenforks.com/noreply@blogger.com
