What makes a good blog?

こちらはわたしのにほんごのがくせいのブログのrecommendationsです：

とうきょう　マンゴ はおもしろいのブログです。I would like to recommend it to people who want a quick, fun, にほんのcultureのブログ。But, do be warned that sometimes the content is NSFW or more "adultish" than some other sites.

JustBento and JustHungry are my favored sites for にほんごのりょり, especially for people who don't have much experience with cooking but are curious about おべんと or all sorts of にほんごのたべもの。まきこさんときどきにほんごでかきます(although the primary language is English)。She is wonderful in her adaptations of recipes, sometimes doing different versions (aside from language) for Japan and other parts of the world due to the availability of cooking equipment and/or ingredients. Do be warned right now that she is exploring diabetic friendly food on Just Hungry, so you might find some of the archives more interesting than the content right now.  But I must say I found her apocryphal (in what I think is a good way) こんにゃく aglio olie e peperoncino recipe quite interesting.  Overall, she not only provides many of the basics of Japanese cooking but also covers media coverage of Japanese food (and culture) as well as some Japanese food (and culture) trends.

I will recommend some other resources later, but these will have to do for now.  These sites combine English and Japanese, which is great for にほんごのいちねんせい。Tell me what you think of these sites or recommend ones that you like.

And I will throw in a cute, autumnal picture for good measure, as that just might make this a better post!
