All Things Joey
Who doesn’t like food?
I certainly do and I spent too much time talking about it, traveling to it, and reviewing it in text or in video.
While I still love food tourism, I am learning how to incorporate it into a healthier lifestyle.
My family and a few friends decided to go to Ray’s Restaurant in #CanandaiguaNY. I happened to bring my camera with me and I turned a meal into a mini episode.
I do struggle with filming inside restaurants, but I gave it a shot.
The people at Ray’s were nice and if you are in the area, you should give it a shot!
We fell behind our snack box schedule and ended up with two boxes. Allison and Ben opted to do one video vs. splitting them up (so sorry for a longer video!).
Having two boxes to compare was interesting. There were a few similar treats (rice crackers) but the April box also featured some real standouts.
Allison and Ben review the Valentine’s Day themed Bokksu box from last month (we were a little late, sorry).
This box featured heavy chocolate themes and no mochi!
A new year and a new Bokksu Box. The January 2022 Bokksu Box (Kanto New Year theme) was sesame and chocolate heavy with a dash of Strawberry.
Allison and Ben made their way through this box and Ben continued his trend of preferring savory over sweet.
When it is cold outside, I make a pot of lentil soup just about every week.
I was inspired to record this cooking session thanks to some bone broth my father gave me. I felt like it would take my standard lentil soup to the next level and I was right.
Here are the ingredients since I don’t get into specific measurements in the video:
The December 2021 Bokksu Snack Box arrived at the house last week and Ben and Allison did their monthly review. The theme was “Hokkaido Holiday”.
December in Japan seems to be connected with corn? There was a strong corn theme this month that did not go over well with the reviewers (can you say “corn tea”?).
The big winner was the apple gummy snacks and the white chocolate covered potato chips.
