Koufuku Graffiti [26] corn, extravagant, fleshy etc
はいっ では改めてお花見始めましょう
改めて（あらためて）I keep hearing this word but I didn't understand it... until now. It basically means 'let's start once again' (because previously the event was interrupted.
焼きトウモロコシです
トウモロコシ Believe it or not, this means corn 🌽. This is one of those words written in katakana not because it's a 外来語, but because the kanji is difficult: 玉蜀黍.
おお〜豪華！高級レストラン並み〜！
豪華（ごうか）na-adjective, means something like 'extravagant' or 'splendor'
並み（なみ）this means 'same level as', so the sentence above means something like 'just like a high-class restaurant!'
お塩でコーティングされたお米が口にしみわたる…
しみわたる（染み渡る）to penetrate, pervade, spread etc (note it's intransitive)
肉厚イカと甘ダレの香り…ヨダレが口からあふれちゃう…！
肉厚（にくあつ）thick, fleshy
甘ダレ（あまだれ）sweet sauce (don't know the English name ^^;)
ヨダレ（涎）drool
あふれる（溢れる）to overflow (intransitive)
ちょいコゲ醤油きいててとまんないー！
コゲ（焦げ）burnt; I guess ちょいコゲ means 'slightly burnt'
I don't know what's the きいてて in this sentence means ^^;
The obligatory 4-koma piece:
Damn I'm hungry... -.-"

Koufuku Graffiti [25] candy apple
Short one today; do you know toffee apples or candy apples?
In Japan, it's called りんご飴（りんごあめ）, literally 'apple candy'.
