Childhood Nightmares

I saw Indiana Jones last week. If you haven’t seen it already, without giving too much away, I can tell you there’s a scene with creepy, flesh-eating red ants. I hated the scene though I loved the movie. Why? Because I hate ants.

As a child, one of my worst nightmares involved hiding in a linen cupboard as a line of two-foot-tall red ants walked through my hallway with my parents and my sister on their backs. Just when I thought I was safe, the cupboard popped open and one of the ants started carrying me towards their nest.

It may sound silly now, but it was terrifying to a three year old. To this day, ants in large quantities still creep me out. I know other people have similar strange nightmares when they were children. I was wondering what kind of weird dreams you guys have had. Let me know in the comments.

Another Awesome Cake -Wasp This Way

This lemon loaf cake with toffee wings is adorable and a little creepy. Sounds yummy although I’d be so sad to cut it open.

Cute little waspy, I hope he likes milk, because that’s where he’s getting dunked.

Mmmmm…Land Shrimp, Eat Insects

Land Shrimp, AKA crickets

Slate has an interesting article on why you should eat insects. They’re healthy, reduce pesticides and are practically the same as eating crustaceans. Who wants a cricket pie?
