Homemade Shrimp Balls ( Baso Udang )

We bought 1 lbs of shrimps at Costco. I really want to buy it because they always have big shrimps with competitive price.

I want to cook some kind of soup, decided to make shrimp balls.

If you checked the picture, the balls surface isn't smooth. Shrimps and the other ingredients quick chopped (I used chopper machine). You have to make sure the other ingredients smooth chopped.

You can substitute shrimp with beef or chicken.

"Santa Maria Style BBQ" Rib Eye Steak

We still have rib eye meat on freezer, we decided to cook it for dinner tonight. First, I tahwed the meat because it frozen.

On Saturday, sometimes we like to go to AG Farmers Market. I like to go to Farmers Market because you can get fresh vegetables and fruit or even flower with a good deal.

We went there and bought some vegetables for salad, I think salad is always perfect with steaks.
