Hi!
I am about to make myself a tea. What is shisha? (I love roast corn).

Arabic name for Nargilla/Hookah.
Roast corn. Oh, yeah! I have it pretty much all year as I grow it myself. But the sweetest come in late July and early October.

A little clarification: I don't grow it roasted, I gather it THEN roast it.
Just in case someone misunderstood. Heh

Yes, I understood that, thank you  :P
I prefer salty corn.

Your plan sounded so cozy, Fcrate.

Yeah. Can't wait for winter :D
Question, salty corn? How do you salt it? It's naturally sweet.

Argentina produces corn. It's sold in two varieties, but to be honest I don't know if they are real biological varieties or if it depends of the soil, growing conditions, and so on. We call them "white corn" and "yellow corn". White corn is sweeter and it is used in traditional dishes in our North. Like locro, which is a stew with pumpkin, potato and other things. It is also used (Specially in Chile and Bolivia, but also in our North) for an alcoholic drink called chicha. Yellow corn is...much less sweeter. I would call it salty. And in fact a lot of people use that name. It's the one we generally use for salads. And I love to grill it with a touch of butter and some added salt.
Corn pie or humita, a corn based paste, is traditionally made with a mix of both corns.But I personally prefer yellow corn

My vacation is almost over and I am so very ready to go back to work. Too much time around my son is hazardous to his safety and my sanity. He has discovered "Uncle Grandpa" cartoon. It makes Spongebob seem like Sherlock.

Heh. As long as you don't bang your head (or his) against the wall, you should be fine WF.
Dina: we grow white and yellow corn too. I don't know how to describe it, but yellow is both sweeter and more salty here. I find our white to be a bit bland for my tastes, even though street stands roasts white, exclusively.
