If you like ham, and you like green onions – get yourself over to Just Bento today and check out the Ham Negimayaki recipe & pics that have been posted.

I’ll have to give this a whirl myself sometime, because it just looks great.  Thing is, I don’t remember ever having anything like this when I was in Japan, but it’s also been a very long time since I was there, and I wasn’t exactly a foodie at the time.

The Homesick Texan gives an excellent lesson in proper nachos.

“Um, toast?”

“Oh.  Well, it smells good!”

Damn skippy I make excellent toast!

Just thought that was funny, and now on to the real post.  I wanted to take a moment and point out another food blog that I absolutely LOVE – Tigers and Strawberries.  I feel horrid that I haven’t mentioned it before now – I was sure I’d brought it up, but looking through past posts, I apparently hadn’t.

It’s a fantastic blog – food, recipes, education, book reviews, pictures and more.  Barbara is an excellent writer, obviously has a great love of food, and has a lovely “mother earth” quality about her.  I don’t mean “hippie freak”, I mean someone who you wish had lived across the hall from you when you first got out on your own, because she would have all the answers to everything you needed to know.

Additionally, she has a wonderful feature of Weekend Kat/Cat Blogging.  She talks about her cats, her spectacular little girl Kat, or both.

Do take the time to go check it out – she also has an RSS feed for the blog as well.

Baking Delights – Spectacular baked goods.

Homesick Texan – I actually stumbled upon this one via an entry for biscuits posted back in April. The recent entries are all fantastic, too.

Lunch – Because eating fast food while on the dash isn’t fun. Mouthwatering entries.

On Food and Wine – Fairly self explanatory and will definitely make you hungry.

OK, I know I said I was going to try and give each new link it’s own post, but Tastespotting has brought out so many good sites this week, I’m just going to go ahead and tell you about them all at once. :)

Baking and Books – Check out the poppy seed bagel recipe and photos.

Destemporados – It may be in Portugese, but food really is universal.

Food Wishes – A video recipe blog.

FoodBlogga – Kind of self explanatory. :)

For the Love of Food – More great photos and recipes

Last Night’s Dinner – I would kill for that sea bass & fennel broth

I can’t tell how often it gets updated, but what is there sure looks good!

Compilations of some of the best food photography I have ever seen and a great gateway to other food blogs.

Great food, great photos.

Go over to Running with Tweezers, read up and enter!

Go.

Do it.

Now.

aka, Food Porn. This is a LiveJournal community with tons of great recipes, photographs and cooking information. Definitely worth the time to at least take a look.

Chefs Like Me! is also a LJ community that just started up, but looks to be a lot of fun. Right now it’s a lot of introductions, but they’ve also got the first “food of the week” out there for research & discussion, and a challenge: pies. Since it’s brand new, you never know where it may end up, but I really think it’s got a lot of potential to be a fun forum.

Go read, drool, enjoy!

Kitarra at Cooking Debauchery is not only a fabulous cook, but a great photographer as well. Her posts are always sure to make you exceptionally hungry. The writing is great, and the recipes she posts cover all different types of food, and she has items that folks of any skill level can try out. Definitely worth checking out.

Cooking Debauchery also has an RSS feed available.
