Takayaki Balls!

When I was staying in Kawanoe with Lex we were invited to a dinner party at the home of a woman who was in Lex's adult English class. It was a huge evening with TONS of food. TONS. There were courses upon courses. Alexa, Dennis (a JET from Canada), and I were spoiled rotten and had to roll ourselves out of the house at the end of the night.

The highlight of the night was making takayaki balls. We made them on griddle things that had rounded cutouts. We filled the little bowl things with dough and then added whichever "insides" that we wanted (see bowl of possible fillings :o) ). We made them into balls by scooping and spinning the balls around so that all the sides were browned with the fillings warmed up in the middle. YUM YUM YUM :o)
