YUK.

Melbourne's current water storage is 41.7% full, and if it's going to be another wet spring, the water storage level could hit 50% by the end of November, according to Australia's one of the most read newspapers Herald Sun.
I was listening to ABC News 24 in the evening and it was reporting the worst locust plague that is forecast to hit Australian farmers. Especially the damage to the organic farmers will be big, which is not hard to imagine - considering how super-duper hard to keep them away from the crops without using any chemical insecticide spray WHATSOEVER, what is worse, the most-wanted bio-insecticide is hard to come by. Oh dear.
I've tried organic insect repellent myself, and it was useless.
What's supposed to be good for crops is bad for crops at the same time...hmmm. Well, maybe it's time for Australians to start eating Inago no Tsukudani (Locusts boiled in soy sauce with sugar/sweetened sake).

Oh, how I used to love the crunchy texture of locusts and the nice flavour of soy sauce combined with mirin (sweetened sake)!!!






Nowadays, just a glimpse of that famous Japanese recipe is enough to make me sick. Yuk.
It's as bad as eating witchetty grubs (those massive worm-like creatures - see these pics below.)

 

The ultimate nightmare trigger, that is.
