Okonomiyaki

I haven't cooked in a while, but tonight I made okonomiyaki. It's kind of like a pancake with cabbage and meat mixed in, and is somewhat analogous to Western pizza, in that it's multi-layered and almost anything can be used as a topping.

Most variations of okonomiyaki mix everything together, but I usually make Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki, which is layered with a fried egg and contains yakisoba noodles. I also put moyashi (bean sprouts), shrimp, and pork slices inside.

This is one of my mom's favorite dishes that I make, so I usually make extra, but since I can only cook one at a time, it takes a while.

Wrestling: Fact or Fiction Answers

Here are the answers to last week's quiz. How did you do?

1. Barber - True

Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake would shave his opponents heads.

2. Astronaut - False

There hasn't been an astronaut wrestler yet in WWE, but never say never.

3. Tax Man - True

Irwin R. Shyster (I.R.S.) was a strong technical wrestler who teamed up with "The Million Dollar Man" Ted Dibiase to form Money Inc.

Hector Guerrero, uncle of Eddie and Chavo Guerrero, appeared as a turkey named Gobbledy Gooker in the 1990 Survivor Series.

6. Pirate - True

Carl Ouellet assumed a pirate gimmick as Jean-Pierre LaFitte. Much later, Paul Burchill capitalized on the popularity of "The Pirates of the Caribbean" movies as an Englishman who believed himself to be descended from pirates who amazingly dressed just like Johnny Depp.

7. Mountie - True

The Mountie was forced to relinquish this gimmick at the behest of the Canadian government because they were worried it would undermine actual mounties' authority.

8. Retard - True

The WWE thought it would be a great idea to introduce a throwback wrestler, and then came up with Eugene, a retarded man who imitated the moves of classic wrestlers.

9. Clown - True

Doink the Clown would eventually be accompanied to the ring with a midget clown wrestler named Dink.
