みなさん、こんにちは! 冬は温かいものが食べたくなりますね~。こんな日はやっぱり鍋です! 私は先日、鍋を食べました。でも、そんじゃそこらの鍋じゃありません!!! 「ふぐ(河豚)」の鍋です。ふぐって知ってますか?毒を持っている魚で、びっくりするとプクっと丸く膨らんでかわいいです。ふぐは冬が旬ですから、丁度今頃が食べごろです。ふぐは毒を持っているので免許を持った人しか料理することができません。そして値段が高いので私のような学生はなかなか食べられません!でも友達がふぐ料理の店でアルバイトを始めたので安く食べさせてもらえちゃいました♪ ふぐ料理で有名なのは てっさ(刺身)と てっちり(鍋)です。ふぐ刺しは皿の模様がすけて見えるくらいうすく切ります。これはふぐが他の魚より歯ごたえがあるからです。ふぐちりは、ふぐと野菜と豆腐などを大きな鍋に入れて作ります。これと一緒にひれ酒を飲みました。ひれ酒は干したふぐのひれを焼いて日本酒の中に入れたものです。これがすごくおいしい!私はカルアミルク、ピニャコラーダ、梅酒が好きですが、ひれ酒もお気に入りです♪ 私はお酒に弱いのでひれ酒半分で酔っぱらいました。少しのお酒で酔っぱらえるから、弱いほうがお得だと思いませんか? でも、ビールとかをぐびぐびっと飲んで「ぷはー!」とか言えるようにもなりたいような・・・。実は最近、芋焼酎にも挑戦中なんです。 みなさんの国で今の季節「旬」な食べ物はなんですか? それでは、また来週!

みなさん、こにちは!
僕はワシントンDCのリードさん!僕の日本語があまり上手じゃありません。あなたのビデオblogが大好きです。そして、毎日を聞きます。私もカルアミルクとピニャコラーダが好きですが、時々飲みます。お酒もとてもおいしいね。順方向に見ることにあなたのblogを聞きある!
まだ来主!

Gomen nasai: this is off the topic, but I can’t find the Blog section anywhere. I enjoyed seeing that two days ago, but now I can’t find the link!
Maybe it’s me.
Can anyone help me?:???:

Sindy-san,
I am not talking about the Audio Blog. I am talking about the new Blog section. For example, Max from Shanghai is in there and the Samurai Theologian is in there. Thanks for trying . . .
Anyone else know?

Liz-san, it’s top of the menu next to Forum button.
Monday at 12:33 pm
Yep, that’s the URL for the new blog site! Of course you can also reach it by clicking on “blog” in the header or footer of all pages on the main site.

美樹さん、
いつものようにありがとう!
実は、お久しぶりですね。
私は最近仕事で非常に忙しくて、残念ながらJP101を読むなんて時間がありませんでした。
ですから、ごめんなさいね~
今回のブログについて、私はふぐ料理を食べたことがないんですけど、「鍋」料理が大好きで、てっちりを食べてみたいです♪
先週末両親と一緒に初めて家でしゃぶしゃぶを作って、煙探知機が鳴いてしまったのに、おいしかったです。
(みんなさん、ふぐ料理について興味があったら、これはレストランのサイトの一つです:http://www.konnanodo.com/shop/fugu-yamamo/)
Monday at 12:49 pm
美樹さん、おはようございます。書いたとき、朝ですよ。
ふぐ料理はとても難しそうです。今日のブログを読んだのも難しいですね。「てっさ」と「てっちり」の言葉が分かりません。馬鹿でごめん。
ふぐを食べるの怖いですからふぐを食べる前にビールをぐいぐい飲むと思います。
最近イギリスで飛行機で食べ物がきますので季節の食べ物がありません。でも苺は冬の方春よりにもっと高いです。
また来週ね。

The blog works fine for Mac.

Mina-san, arigatou!
I think what confused me was that I couldnt see “Blog” listed under Categories in the right hand column.
Monday at 10:25 pm
Lizさん,
Well it is a little confusing. But I think the “Blog” is considered a separate “thing” from a typical lesson. So they have structured it differently (for better for worse).

Now seriously, 私は皿のメキシコ人が期間のこの時に食べるものをについての考えを有しない!
私は2004 年以来のメキシコに行ったことがない従って私が休暇の間戻るとき私は原料を私すべてを覚えるべきである忘れていたが、!
私は魚、ワインおよびビールを好む! 私は非常によいdrinker であり、魚はレストランに白ワインが付いている飲み物のべきである。
健康なMiki サンはあなたの時間の間感謝し、酔ったそして発言の物の言えない事に恐れていないし。
私はそれを前にし、大きい! 私は自分自身を表現し、私の中どんな感じ及び翌日La のcruda を停止するために私がChilaquiles を及び新しく再度感じられて食べるか言う!
それでは、また来週!

Thank you Miki-san for the very interesting blog topic!!
I have spent some time in Japan but I had never heard of “fugu” (I had heard of blowfish in general, but didn’t know they could be poisonous, and didn’t know they could be eaten).
Anyway, I thought it was a *very* cool coincidence that “fugu” happened to be yesterday’s topic, as it was also mentioned in last night’s new episode of “Crossing Jordan”!! For those of you unfamiliar with the show, it’s an NBC crime drama set here in Boston (woo!!
) Anyway, without giving away too many details of the episode (for those who haven’t seen it yet), I’ll just say that “fugu” ended up playing a key role in the synopsis (one crime scene happened oustide of a Japanese restaurant, and somehow “fugu” poisoning ended up being involved). 偶然の一致ですね。
