Madelaine McMasters Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 (edited) Mom's been having a bit of a rough time lately. Last night the sky was clear and the nearly full moon was up. I stopped the car in the driveway so we could soak it in and I started singing an old Greg Brown tune. Mom soon joined in. @Dillon Levenque knows the song and will understand why this particular version is the best there there is, and ever will be...

Love Zhaoying Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Time for a Takoyaki break. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhonda Huntress Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Takoyaki (たこ焼きor蛸焼) is a ball-shaped Japanese snack made of a wheat flour-based batter and cooked in a special molded pan. It is typically filled with minced or diced octopus (tako), tempura scraps (tenkasu), pickled ginger, and green onion. Takoyaki are brushed with takoyaki sauce (similar to Worcestershire sauce) and mayonnaise, and then sprinkled with green laver (aonori) and shavings of dried bonito. There are many variations to the takoyaki recipe, for example, ponzu (soy sauce with dashi and citrus vinegar), goma-dare (sesame-and-vinegar sauce) or vinegared dashi. Yaki is derived from "yaku" (焼く) which is one of the cooking methods in Japanese cuisine, meaning "to fry or grill", and can be found in the names of other Japanese cuisine items such as okonomiyaki and ikayaki (other famous Osakan dishes). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolig Loon Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Thank you. Those looked suspiciously like blueberry mini-muffins, which would have been fine, too, but which wouldn't have deserved the special name. Octopus/tempura/ginger mini-muffins sound much more exotic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm ambivalent about fish as food, but I have a very strong opinion about mixing fish and donuts. Just say no. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the pictures I see from google show a pan with a middle section like that. The “lid” over the middle is a weight that forces the “turner” back in place for each slot. It also makes a “clank” noise. Link to showing this with the “clank” (not mine): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s like “fair food”, where you smell fried..stuff. 1 hour ago, Madelaine McMasters said: The middle just covers the ball flipping arms.

A crank in the middle pushes each arm up, the lid pushes the arm back down once the arm is released. Pure mechanics, without the lid it would not work! 17 pieces to clean if I remember right, including 12 little cast iron arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm ambivalent about fish as food, but I have a very strong opinion about mixing fish and donuts. As much as I have enjoyed Japanese cuisine on my visits there, I too cannot get used to finding fishy flavors in some things. I remember that a good friend from Japan visited me and, knowing that I had liked some of our meals together, brought me a small bag of snacks that looked like Cheetos but were in fact shrimp-flavored. By extrapolation, I can imagine what a fishy donut would be like. Some cross-cultural food adventures work better than others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
