So I was reading some Usagi Yojimbo, and came across takoyaki, the ubiquitous octopus ball snack! To make them, you'll need a pan like this or like the danish cake pan on this page. They must be great... there are cartoons about them, they've been an inspiration to entrepreneurs, the subject of movies, you can buy models of takoyaki carts, they're used as a rating system, even the Canadian Consulate General talks about them! So let's all grab some and have fun!

Though it first seemed to be a lame gift, I have to admit that the George Foreman Lean Mean Fat Reducing Grilling Machine is actually damn useful and I can make an awesome steak or burger quickly.
