Crickets!

In an effort to earn some "street cred" with my students, I ate a cricket before class today.

H.R. brought some from Safeco Field and (of course) A.M. wanted to join me in tasting the little buggers.

They were crispy and flavored with chili-lime. 

Crunchy. And I got a leg stuck in my teeth. The gag reflex did kick in, but I held it down and won't have to prove myself again! Or else, I've raised the bar for new levels of gross...
