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.
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.
This month’s Bokksu box focused on the difference Japanese prefectures… so it was a random assortment of snacks from across all of Japan. The general theme seemed to be citrus flavors.
I can’t say this one was my favorite, but it had a few goodies to enjoy.
This month’s Bokksu is “Kansai Autumn” themed. Ben and Allison ripped through the snacks and offered their opinions. It was another matcha heavy box which yielded mixed results.
Note: Kansai is a region in the south of Honshu, Japan’s main island. In its center is the city of Kyoto, Japan’s capital from 794 to 1869.
We have been subscribing to snack box service Bokksu for a few years and my son recently started taking Japanese lessons so I thought it would be a fun idea for him to do a review video.
The September box had a Mid Autumn festival theme and featured more chocolate and mochi based treats than usual (much to Ben’s chagrin).
My family and Team Gorcka went to Cape May this weekend to just get away and I have been itching to do some outdoor video projects.
This first video of a little series and it covers our visit to Beach Plum Farm. We had some breakfast and bought bread and jams for later.
Ben also met a chicken.
We went out to eat for the first time in 6 months. Back to our favorite, the Woodbury Station Cafe.
I did a little filming… because why not.
Ben opted to be salty for the duration of the project and my Mom makes a rare cameo.
