Does anyone know how to make dango? It's a present for someone...we had a bit of a fight, and I want to make up for it.

What type of dango are you interested in? There seem to be at least twelve variants.

Oh...that's right.

Um. I think kushi dango is the easiest to make.

[Touka thinks.]

Um......I made dango once, but it didn't turn out very well.

[darkequilibrium]

What happened?

[girlpowertouka]

Well, I guess I used the wrong kind of flour or something -- no, wait, I only used one. Turns out you're supposed to use two. I think. I only used mochiko. And then it stuck everywhere and I couldn't really get it into balls so I just threw it in the water and then I cooked it for way too long and it kind of exploded in the pot. Onii-chan was really mad, but Hime-chan thought it was funny and she ate it anyway, of course.

Wow. That's pretty bad. Everyone has to start with one big mistake, it seems...
