Cellar Scribblings

Aaaaah. Found it.

It's on Chuck's blog, p 909. (And he sent me a card .. yay) 
And a neighbour dropped one in my letterbox today, as well, so that's two. 
I've posted off quite a few. I was very remiss, last year, in sending cards, and decided to be more thoughtful of my friends this year.

Hiya BetterMost friends.

I hope that everyone is doing well!



Plans for the holidays are in place.  Christmas Eve with friends, Christmas Day with family, and New Year's Eve with friends. 

Hiya Rob!  I got your card!

boak.. i feel sick now looking at that Paul!!!

[southendmd]

Paul, despite your proclivity for unbelievably unknown-of delicacies that I, and I'm sure many here have never known existed,  I must say I do love your latest avatar.

Jake couldn't have gotten any hotter (so far) than in the Santa Claus scene in Jarhead...

Edit:  Rereading back, guess it was Truman, not Paul, that started this weirdness. 

Paul, please forgive me for thinking for even a split second that "pickled pupae" turn you on.

But again, I doooooo love your avatar.

No worries, Mandy.  I don't have half of Truman's imagination!

Yes, "Jarhead Jake" is truly yummy.

Pickled pupae     Naaaaah.

Now, witchety grubs. Yep. They're bigger, juicier and better lookin. 
 

What's 'witchety grubs'

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witchetty_grub

The witchetty grub (also spelled witchety grub or witjuti grub[1]) is a term used in Australia for the large, white, wood-eating larvae of several moths. Particularly it applies to the larva of the cossid moth Endoxyla leucomochla, which feeds on the roots of the Witchetty bush (named after the grubs) that is found in central Australia.[2] The term may also apply to larvae of other cossid moths, ghost moths (Hepialidae), and longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae). The term is used mainly when the larvae are being considered as food. The grub is the most important insect food of the desert and was a staple in the diets of Aboriginal women and children.

Thanks Brian!

No wonder my online dictionary didn't know about it.

I would've sent some over for Chuck, but thought they were probably a prohibited import !
They wouldn't even let me take a decent size jar of Vegemite into the US in hand luggage, 'tho that's quite understandable. 

Hey, Brian, thanks for your elucidation. I'm not very good at proper descriptions, and probably should attach photos of Ozzie things.

Hiya Rob!  I got your card!  

Already ? That's great, Chuck. Must have been a bit quicker due to the time difference.

Hiya BetterMost friends.

I hope that everyone is doing well!

In regards to all the grub talk here, y'all can keep your grubs, I don't need them here.

Ugh!   

Work is going smoothly, and I'm spending some time writing out cards for my coworkers, to leave in their cubicles.  I hope to give them out tomorrow morning before everyone arrives, so they can find them when they arrive.

I'll have 5 cards to spare, and every card has been a cowboy Christmas card.
