To Tim,
When you wrote about drying the corn, I was wondering if people in Taiwan dry corn too. We mostly eat fresh corn. I’ve heard of people in the past dry their rice in their own san-ho-yuan which is a central building with two wings attached perpendicular to either side. They used to plant for their own family living there, so they just needed to plant enough. But the humid weather in Taiwan may ruin the crops already dried.

By the way, people in Taiwan have developed many kinds of corn. My favorite one is the fruit corn which people say you can eat it raw, though I thought it tasted like grass and didn’t like it when I tried. But it is really delicious after you cook it. My mom cooks it in clear soup and I can taste the original taste of the corn. Another way I like my corn cooked is steamed, that I can eat a whole one. Its corn flavor isn’t too heavy, and each kernel of corn is plump, filled with juice. The best thing of all is the skin of each kernel is soft and thin, so your teeth won’t be stuck. The pictures below are some other kinds of corn I like.

Oh my, I’m hungry. See you next letter!
