this all seems incredibly overhyped to me. I haven't seen any yet. my mother claims everyone's retarded making something out of nothing…and she's a big time complainer about that shit. she was pregnant with me the last time they woke up.
anybody know where to find the cicada recipes? I'm very interested in Fried Cicadas or some other kind of delicacy. might as well, eh?

A cicada recipe, courtesy of West Virginia's University Alumni Magazine.
"Cicadas are a delicacy in the city of Shanghai, China, where this creative
recipe originated."
Ingredients: cicadas, anise, salt, rice wine, mashed garlic, celery, turnip
greens.
Recipe:
1. Boil the cicadas and anise in salted rice wine for five minutes, and then
remove the cicadas.
2. Sauté the mashed garlic, adding water and rice wine to make a paste.
3. Deep-fry the cicadas, and then skewer them with bamboo picks. Arrange
them on a plate with the turnip greens, celery, and garlic paste to look
like the cicadas are climbing out of a mud pie onto green foliage.

Look for them hanging out on plant leaves. That's where I saw a ton of them this morning in my yard. Most not even out of their shells yet.
