TASK 2 *suggestion*

To complete your homework is need to enjoy making your own blog. Blog may not be familiar with our life, first you may be embarrassed what blog is!?
But if you enjoy your blog, it could be one of your favorite hobbies. Blog is need for Writing 3c class, so paste information on your blog and improve to use easier. I pasted Writing 3c blog and homepage, cooking blog, mixi, face book, and friend's blogs.

Today's MAKANAI

This is today's MAKANAI at Wararaka. I finished working there at 21:50 so I don't have enough time to eat regular makanai.
Yutami san made this Makanai for me.
Yutami san's rice balls are so cute! When I usually eat Makanai, it is so big for me. Today's makanai is so much quantity for me!

Today's menu is mini rice balls and dried curry.
Dried Curry is so so nice! A chef de cuisine stewed the curry for 4 hours. In fact, I don't like curry but I like it! This curry is not so spicy and this is very juicy curry! It's taste like a meat source of pasta.
I like Makanai.
