Hey, just thought I’d post some more pics of my fam being great. The past few weeks we’ve been harvesting the corn. Its maize, really, so it’s a lot tougher than sweet corn at home. I thought maybe that if I boiled the hell out of it, it would taste like sweet corn. It doesn’t. We dry it in the sun, then pop all the kernels off with our thumbs (as shown in these pictures), then those are dried fully, then pounded and cooked. I’ve actually not seen what the final food product looks or tastes like. The popping-the-kernels-off-the-cob time is a good time for chatting, but man your thumbs get tired.
