It's U two's best for creative things.

It's cooking and crafting.

Hey, kids tickets.

I got my try.

The world box.

This is the box that only comes out every two months.

And the beautiful thing about this is that it is curated by a country expert.

Every month, every two months they'll go somewhere, and this time they went to Japan.

We're gonna kind of breeze through this and I'll talk to you a little bit more and pointed to the description box below about some of these things because I do want to create a recipe with one of the contents in here, just like always they have.

It's a beautiful that they put together each time, and the, you know, the expert will take you through different things.

They welcome you to Japan, and they give you ideas on how you can use your box like this one.

You can host a traditional Japanese tea ceremony or make your own okonomiyaki dinner date, and then we have ways to do a traditional tea ceremony on you know how to host your own and information about the ceremony.

I love this, you know, and these pictures are just beautiful.

And look at these beautiful cherry blossoms, a fascination with flowers.

And then the recipe that we're gonna be doing is included in here the macho shortbread cookies.

I have 3/4 of a pound of unsalted butter at room temperature.

We are going to put in one cup of sugar on.

I'm gonna beat this just until Mr Minds we're gonna put in a teaspoon of Mila.

This is vanilla powder.

Works the same as vanilla.

People have asked is the flavor you know, what's the flavor about?

And it is exactly like vanilla.

Do not try to eat it.

You know, I like to try to do that, you know, just taste it just to see.

Don't try.

It doesn't taste very good.

But once it's in here, it's yummy.

At this point, I am going to add in the two tablespoons of the macho blueberry T.

You can find a link for this down in the description box below.

So to two tablespoons my flowers already pre sifted.

But if yours isn't pre sifted, then you want to go ahead and sift that with the 1/4 teaspoon off felt.

But this we're just going to add, and we, um and combine.

Okay, so we're mixing it on little speed just until the dough starts to come together.

I dusted my surface should clean your surface nicely.

And we are going to what this all onto the surface on.

We are going to shape them into a flat disc, which we are going to wrap in plastic.

And we are going to put it into the refrigerator for 30 minutes until it, you know, the the butter combines it and gets it.

Nice scent.

Nice again.

That's just that already.

So I'm gonna wrap this and into, um, plastic, and we'll be back in 30 minutes or so.

Okay.

I ain't gonna lie.

As soon as I tried to pick that up, it crumbled.

So the best way to do this is to place your plastic onto being your counter first and give it a little bit of dusting of flour, which probably isn't going to be necessary.

And then just go ahead and cover it up and placed back into your refrigerator.

Well, I'm supposed to roll the dough out toe 1/2 an inch thick and then cut it with cookie cutters or whatever you want to do.

But I decided that I wanted to make it like a true, um, shortbread.

And I'm just enough had it down to hopefully within 1/2 much thickness into this ungreased pan.

It will be on ungreased baking sheet from glued sugar and big for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the edges begin to brown.

I'm gonna let this time a little bit down to oh, boy to room temperature so that I can so that it's workable and then we'll go from there.

Meanwhile, preacher of into 350 degrees.

If I did not tell you that already, I finally got this in here.

I'm gonna put some holes in here like they normally do for shortbread cookies, and I'm going to put that into be off them and keep on eye on it.

At 20 to 25 minutes.

Um, area.

I think I'll Sprinkle a little sugar on there like it suggested.

I went ahead and used a pizza cutter to cut this as soon as it came out of the oven, because then it's gonna you know it's getting harden, and it would make it virtually impossible.

So make sure you go ahead and do that.

Now.

Let it cool completely before you indulge blueberry mata shortbread cookies.

Enjoy.

Then we have a play list of things that you can music that you can play along when you're having your tea party.

No way have all this beautiful shredding.

I I love that stuff.

I don't know why we have.

Let's start.

Since this is on the top, we have Taka or kaya.

Sea seaweeds snap to make this premium seaweed snack the harvest wild seaweed from the ocean and then dry it following an ancient process similar to paper making, Enjoy it straight from the bag or crumbled over rice dishes.

No, you could use this to make little baby being here, which is what I will.

I'll make a tiny little hand rolls or something, you know, Then we have Oh, King.

Okay.

Okay.

This is okay.

Us here on the island, we say a little bit different than anywhere else.

I think this is Casa guys, Gummy candy.

And we say, like a lot of people I hear Say, Lee Chee, um and this is a leggy, gummy candy on dhe can't express to you how much I love, like on here is the macho blueberry, which is what I'm gonna be using in the short bread.

So this is blueberry machi, known as the finest green tea in the world.

Much of T is also an energy and concentration booster.

Pretty much what I need, Neil.

And it's very simple to use you just add it says at eight ounces hot or iced water to one tablespoon of the blueberry powder.

Blueberry shortbread young.

Okay, so the next thing here what is it?

So bunny noodles, Noodles.

This is all the instructions on here are in Japanese.

But doing any kind of googling, you'll be able to find out how to use your soba noodles.

These are also called buckwheat noodles.

I have yet to make a soba noodle dish?

I think so.

It's quite possible that will do something in the very near future to use the soba noodle.

This is the okonomiyaki care, I believe.

Yes, it is a popular destro Japan okonomiyaki, and I'm sorry if I'm mispronouncing.

It is an omelette like pancake made with a variety of savory toppings.

This kit and the recipe enclosed in your book lift provide the basic ingredients needed to make your own because and that's good because they have all the instructions here and Japanese.

And so it's fantastic that they provide the recipe and that beautiful look like that they also sent.

This is a Maureen Aga milk caramels.

Here we go.

Mori.

No milk caramel.

The recipe for these traditional Japanese caramel date back to 18 99.

Oh my gosh, it's a butterscotch like sweet.

So and then last, but not least, is, um upon his sauce.

This sweet, salty and tangy sauce made with Citrus and soy sauce is traditionally served as a dressing over grilled meat and fish, or as a dip for sashimi, which is raw fish.

To use it as the zala dressing, whisk it into oil too thick and then toss with cold noodles, which basically you could use the silver and make it cold.
