- "OBACHAN" means a "middle-aged woman" or "aunty" in Japanese. .*************************. Having moved back to my hometown in April 2009, I live in one of the desperately underpopulated areas in Japan now. Let me share my life in a real countryside with aging parents living in the same house. And here in Muroto -- the place where I chose to live -- you can hear the heartbeat of the Earth! ;)

Hi obachan,
Shortbread cookies?
Yep, something getting closer.
My comment has got nothing to do w/ cheese (because I can't turn them into something else, like bread...I'm lousy in baking)
but I browsed around and enjoyed your posts ... I am surely coming back! Have a good weekend!
(btw, wow! you are really talented! I've seen your watercolor paintings and they are good! )
Hi Thess,
So nice of you to comment. Welcome and thanks for taking a look at my watercolors, too. :D
I haven’t done much painting lately…maybe it’s about time I should try another one.
Oh please, do continue doing your art, becaue I think you're really good..and has keen eyes for colors.
Wow thanks! I’m not sure if I’m good, but do love playing with colors.
Ohayo Obasan,
Your watercolor paintings were very lovely! Especially enjoyed the shiitake mushrooms :)
Regarding your problem with making cheese shortbread, I think it's the moisture in the cheese that is causing your problems. If you can get a hold of CHEDDAR CHEESE POWDER and incorporating it with your favorite shortbread recipe you might get a good result. I would suggest that you mix the powder with the flour so it will be easier to mix.
Good Luck! and your pics look yummy! Will try the Arare Cookies soon - they sound very interesting.

Parmesan Cheese Shortbread
2 sticks of butter
1 3/4 cups of flour
3/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. rosemary (optional)
1/2 minced garlic clove (optional)
dash of cayenne
Mix it all up. 350 degree oven. Make 1-1.5" balls and flatten to rounds on a cookie sheet. Bake 15-20 minutes until golden brown. You can also sprinkle a tiny bit of parm on the top of each 'cookie' before baking. I use shredded, not grated parmesan, although I think that would work too.
Thank you so much for the recipe, anonymous commenter. Yeah, I'm curious about the effect of rosemary and garlic. I guess should start looking for good parmesan cheese. ;)
