The Very Quiet Cricket

Well, it‘s Family Day long weekend and I am spending my Monday off catching up on work. But Saturday, I went to visit my goddaughters and their parents and I went to the public library - I think it was the girls‘ first trip! They were a little more into playing than the books (as pictured here - side note: how fun are libraries now?!), but walked out with three new books each! One was “The Very Quiet Cricket.” It was a great little outing 🤗

We have a very happy ONE YEAR OLD (today) who got an extra birthday gift from a kind person via #secretsantakids. I don‘t know who the mystery person is but I do know they picked absolutely perfect books! 📚 🎁 🎂

The Very Quiet Cricket | Eric Carle

I would normally never post about anything not book related but this is too perfect. I teach a legal entrepreneurship class for aspiring food businesses, and today one of our students brought in cricket carrot cake cupcakes made with cricket flour! #creepycrawlies #hallowreads @JoeStalksBeck @Tiffy_Reads

rachel_mbc How were they?! 7y

PandaPanda @rachel_mbc not bad! He uses like 20% cricket flour so you can't really taste it but it makes them a bit softer. 7y

BooksForYears If you‘re looking for a bookish connection - cricket flour features in Robin Sloan‘s

Bostonmomx2 Just....why? 😧 7y

PandaPanda @BooksForYears oh! That's exciting I'm getting that in my #botm this month!! 7y

PandaPanda @Bostonmomx2 apparently it's extremely good for you and more sustainable. I'm probably not going to make it part of my regular diet though 😜 7y

rubyslippersreads Are those real crickets on the cupcakes? 😱 7y

PandaPanda @rubyslippersreads those are pecans but he did tell me they would be whole crickets in the future! 🤤 7y

rachel_mbc @PandaPanda I've heard that insects are a good source of protein. I'd probably do better with flour in baked goods than identifiable bugs. 😂 7y

PandaPanda @rachel_mbc totally! I think the only way I ate it was knowing there wouldn't be any surprise legs or anything!! 7y

rachel_mbc @PandaPanda Yes! I was imagining an unpleasant crunch. 7y
