Kanom Krok sadness

This attempt to use our Ebelskiver pan for "anything else" did not go well:

The filling never solidified despite cooking for well longer than the recommended time. We noticed after the fact that other recipes called for something to thicken the filling, while this one did not. The addition of corn starch didn't help much, however. Also, J thought they were too salty. But J wasn't very excited about making them in the first place.

This was pretty good, although we felt that the texture of the Brussels sprouts suggested that 6 minutes of boiling was too much.

- potatoes instead of squash (added before going in the oven)
- chopped fresh serrano instead of cayenne
