It's November already! According to our friends, Daegu's cold winter is later than last year. The other day, my Korean friend gave me some chestnuts. When she gave it to me, I asked her, "How do you eat chestnuts in Korea?" Then she replied, "We just bake it ." So I told her that in Japan, when we eat chestnuts, we either bake or cook it into chestnuts rice. She was surprised to hear that we, Japanese have different ways to enjoy eating chestnuts. With the chestnuts she gave me, I cooked chestnuts rice and gave some to her to eat. She was very happy to try chestnut rice. Isn't this an original housewife style international cultural exchange!?
