Sorry if this is a bit late, i got hit with a sudden and unexpected 24 hr bug, maybe I ate too much roast duck last night, something I thought impossible... Seems like I'm doing better now.
Friday night we had family dinner. There are 12 fulbrighters all together, so a potluck style meal ended up being the way to feed all of us. For my contribution, I made "taro seafood." It jumped out at me because Yakima isn't the best place for taro cultivation and has been absent from my cooking repertoire in the past, even though I've enjoyed trying it throughout my travels.
One of the best parts about preparing this was purchasing the seafood (shrimp, squid and clams) from the daily traditional market. It's only a 10 min. walk from the apartments. Kaohsiung has fabulous fresh seafood, and purchasing this the day of was pretty exciting.
