Cicadas & Rhubarb

Since the Pilgrims arrived in 1620, their first sight of these cicadas was in 1634. Since then, they have hatched 22 times. 22 birthdays. Are they young?
The rhubarb is up so we should see them soon, and we could make rhubarb and cicada pie. If we were hungry enough.
Africans enjoy eating insects.
Anyway, I did make Rhubarb Betty for the first time ever after seeing the recipe all my life. It's a type of bread pudding. Delicious, and like any bread pudding, especially good if you don't eat it all yourself, though it is just as good the next day, which I cannot say the same for pie.
