Picked up one of these for the house after using commercial ones for a couple of years now, I love it, it's a welcome addition to the kitchen.

I'm jealous. The nearest factory outlet to me is an hour's drive each way. I swear when we moved to MA Himself told the real estate agent to tag all of the shopping areas, then find the location that would make each one the longest drive possible. It's not like I'm a shopper, for gosh sakes! Sadly for him, I do have a wide variety of grocery stores (8 that I can think of right off the top of my head) to chose from within a much smaller circle.
My vice - food shopping!
I decided to channel Katie H. and visit the Goodwill store in our daughter's town. Yup, Ohio Goodwills are better than those in MA! I could have walked out with a number of things, but decided it was best to pick just two. One was a kitchen goody that I have wanted...but not badly enough to pay full price. For a mere $4, I am now the proud owner of a Nordic Ware Aebleskiver pan. I'm thinking I might have to try it out before we head back to MA.
: I did pick up a jar of Amish jam called "Traffic Jam" when I was running a few errands today. If I make the little darlin's while still at our daughter's, I think I'll use that for the filling.

Sounds like I have a reason to have Himself take us to Ikea, right Cheryl?
If you and Himself do get to IKEA, don't pass up their Swedish Meatballs! Sooo good..
Oooohh, nice! I want one! But mine would have to be a Le Creuset in a bright color to go with the rest of my collection
I'm keeping an eye on eBay.
Thanks, TAT. Not sure it would work, though. A blog I read said that the dimensions of the pan are way too big to make a proper takoyaki - the ball is about 4 or 5 times too big.

Santa came early! This was waiting for me on the front porch, albeit all tucked into its well-padded box inside of another well-padded box. Himself said it was like a Russian nesting doll.
I have an orange Le Creuset, an orange Lodge, and an reddish-orange Staub. I liked the looks of the blue, plus it's an exclusive color to Food 52. They got me with "exclusive".Oooohh, nice! I want one! But mine would have to be a Le Creuset in a bright color to go with the rest of my collection
It was going to be stuffed cabbage. I figured this would arrive sometime next week - and the corner store sells their store-ground beef on Wednesdays. Since the braiser is here, I think I'll be using it for tomorrow's planned mac-and-cheese.
