Sister Lee and I played host to YSA sisters for an activity at our apartment. Kitchen at the church is not supposed to be used for cooking and besides it is way too small. So voila, they asked if they can do it at our apartment. The activity was to make Takoyaki, a Japanese dish. At first I thought they were going to make tacos. Well, it is not that Mexican dish. You can google "Takoyaki" and find out more about it. Anyway, Tako means octopus and the round plate has diced octopus on it. It is cooked in a special ball shaped molded pan. You pour the batter into the mold and place the tako and other items in. As it cooks, you use a wooden skewer stick to turn the balls. They asked me to try and with my Montana Café upbringing, it was no problem. I mastered the technique soon enough. BTW, it was delicious.
After dinner, they did a game, you know the one where you hold hands in the middle and then try to unravel into a giant circle without breaking the chain. It took another 5 minutes or so after this snap shot before they finally succeeded. The moral of the game was a daunting task can be solved if everyone worked together.
