2. Eraser
3. Intelligence

And the most popular item the kiddos are asking for this year??

Making Soba: A Pictorial Guide

Gather the ingredients (soba flour, regular flour, water--yes that's it) and tools (wood block, rolling pin, hatchet).

Add water incrementally and knead the dough. Be sure not to use the palms of your hands as the dough will become too warm.

Get your grubby hands all over the perfectly kneaded and sculpted dough.

Roll out dough.

Cut rolled dough into hair-thin slices.

Admire the finished product.

Prepare to eat.

Enjoy! Dip warm soba in soy sauce with nori and sesame seeds.
