It took me a while, but I finally figured out a formula much better than even the concept of a spider web, called salad. Bugs flock to this like you wouldn’t believe, and since people are the consumers of salads, I thought it befitting, as a grand master plan, to create a salad cook book to not only wet your appetite, but to attract the bugs, that in turn will wet my appetite, since webs don’t always work like a magnet. This is Spencer Spider here presenting to you, without further ado, my recipes for Succulent Salads. After all, you need your vegetables for good health and longevity, and I need my bugs for the same. So do we have a deal or what, you scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours, a favor for a favor?Also, speaking of good health be sure to check out my dear good friend’s cook book entitled, Skinny Bone Jones’ Culinary Delights for low calorie, healthy recipes. It’s bone tingling good, (not that I’d know personally since I don’t have bones, but that’s what I heard). Anyway, I will supply an ingredient list, just in case you want to set up a salad buffet for your Halloween Party or just want to eat a week or more, worth of salads if you are trying to lose a little weight or just eat healthier. And no need to worry about flies or bugs feasting at your salad buffet, I’ll be there to snatch them up, it would be my pleasure and my honor. A special thanks to my many spider friends for their recipe contributions, as outlined on the Menu/Table of Contents.
