Ice Cube Takoyaki

Requirements:

• Large mixing bowl
• Ice cube tray
• Fry pan
• Stovetop
• 1 cup cooked octopus legs (diced)
• ~1.5 cups flour (I used some hard red wheat flour)
• Baking soda (I didn't have any and it was fine)
• 400ml dashi, or chicken stock, broth, or boillion in water
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp soy sauce
• 1.5 cups diced cabbage and lettuce
• 2 tbsp relish (or other pickled vegetable)
• 1/2 cup crushed croutons (or other crunchy bits, I heard potato chips work)
• Canola oil
• Takoyaki sauce (or similar) and mayo

Steps:

1. Mix the dashi and the flour in your bowl
2. Crack the eggs into the bowl
3. Add the soy sauce and a tbsp of baking soda
4. Mix it, and if it doesn't look gooey enough, add a bit more flour
5. Add the lettuce, relish, and croutons
6. Add the octopus and mix thoroughly
7. Using a spoon, pour bits of your newly created sludge into the ice cube tray, making sure each space has about equal amounts of octopus. (This helps it keep it's shape while cooking later)
8. Freeze for about two hours or until you feel like it
9. Fry on low heat in shallow oil for about 15 minutes, flipping occasionally, until visually golden brown. The inside should still appear gooey but still should get cooked
10. Remove each once cooked, and serve with mayo and sauce

• Bread flour (we grabbed some hard red wheat flour)
• Brown sugar
• Salt
• Bread Machine Yeast

Steps:

1. Open this recipe in a web browser
2. Use the bread dad site for dosages of each ingredient (if you only have one flour type, i just used it for both)
3. When combining the incredience, do the butter and milk first, then the rest, ending with the yeast (so the yeast doesnt mix too fast)
4. Use the quick setting on ur machine for fluffy bread, and whole wheat setting for toaster-ready bread

Cooked Milk

Requirements:

• Canned Condensed Milk
• Pot full of water
• Stovetop

Steps:

1. Open can
2. Place can into pot of water
3. Place can in pot of water onto the stove
4. Cook at the verge of boiling for around 5 hours, stirring occasionally
5. Refill water as it evaporates
6. Cool can with cold water and remove once reached desired consistency

I've heard that you can decrease cooking time by leaving the can sealed and making sure it stays submerged in water, though I really don't want an exploding can of milk so I did it this way

Requirements:

• Fancy Glass
• Everclear (preferably 190 proof)
• Berry Juice (preferably cranberry)
• Blood (Optional)
• Depressive underage internship apartment (Not optional)

Steps:

1. Mix 1/4 everclear and 3/4 juice in your fancy cup
2. Add one drop of blood, it's hotter if it's someone else's but you can make do
3. Enjoy responsibly or whatever

Toast

Requirements:

• Bread
• Broken Sunbeam T-20 or "radiant" style toaster
• Screwdriver

Steps:

1. loosen screw under crumb tray to increase tension on central element, until bread lifters have proper springyness (if this does not fix issues, continue steps)
2. Remove the temp knob, then unscrew the crumb tray and bakelite base
3. Unbolt the "clamshell" top, along with the side covering the heat sensing unit
4. Unscrew the leads going to the main switch
5. Bend the metal tabs holding in the sensing unit, and lift it up and out
6. The bottom two nuts hold together the switch contacts, and those two bolts and top bolt hold in the bimetallic strip
7. In case the strip is no longer snapping into place, attempt to gently bend it or adjust it so it does
8. If the strip is broken or the center unit is damaged you might be kinda fucked srry <3, to be fair it is a 75 year old toaster

Requirements:

• Potassium Alum (This one was missing from the kit, so we though to test it with a sample that isn't 55 years old from the local walmart)
• Magnesium Sulfate
• Rochelle Salt
• At least once small glass jar "less than 2in in diameter" and covering cloth
• At least once larger jar for further growth
• Stovetop pan or pot
• Stirring dowel
• Teaspoon

I will upload a pdf of the instruction booklet once we are done in lieu of my traditional steps, here is a growth log instead:

Hour zero (10pm): Prepared three bottles, one of each salt type, using the portions outlined in the booklet

Hour 12, three bottles respectively:
#1 layer of small crystals on bottom, removed chunks and reheated
#2 no crystals, more salt added and reheated
#3 two tiny crystals, more salt added

Hour 18:
#1 largest cleanest crystal removed and suspended with thread in solution, rest of crystals stored in seperate jar
#2 still no crystals, more salt added and reheated
#3 line of crystals along bottom, left to sit

Hour 24:
#1 suspended crystal doubled in size, small chunks formed on bottom removed and large ones saved
#2 still no crystals, solution has visible particles. Lots more salt added and reheated
#3 going all out, used up the rest of bag 3 trying to make a solution to suspend a crystal in. Accidentally dissolved the largest crystal in it so attempting to use it on a smaller one. not a lot of hope

Hour 48:
#1 crystal maintained size, removed and coated in clear spray paint to save
#2 solution still is cloudy with visible particles, no crystals though, may attempt to restart at a later date
#3 yeah #3 is a lost cause. The crystals that did form were very rectangular or "tetragonal" as the booklet says, maybe even "orthorhombic," though now we've got nothing. Was neat to at least see something from 55 year old chemicals though

Hour 156:
#2 jar is now full of crystals, a few taken out to try to grow further tho it's rlly hard to not accidentally dissolve them. Rest of bag used up for solution.
