Lovely Shrimp Croquettes ( Japanese shrimp koroke)

First japanese food that I have learned from my dad in law. My husband and I love to eat koroke (croquette), so..one day when we were in Atlanta,to visit my husband's parents and family..my dad in law called me and told me to come to the kitchen with him to make some japanese dishes. And one of them was croquette. He taught me how to make ground beef croquette.
Then..day by day I started to learn the other japanese dishes from my dad in law. He was my first teacher actually who taught me some Japanese foods. I remember too, when we just have first baby, my dad and mom in law came to visit us to Japan from US, and during their visit days, he was the one who cooked breakfast,lunch and dinner for us. I was soo embarassed , because i tought they were guests in our house,so ,I'm suppoused to serve them. But he told me,in Japan there's a culture that sometimes, parents or in law stay with their children who just have a new born baby to help them at least for a week such as cooking or cleaning the house. Hmm..I'm  so glad I have them as my In law.
Okay,..so here's the recipe fro shrimp croquette, you change the shrimp with ground beef or chicken as you like to have them in your croquette.Enjoy!!

Klepon Dengan Kelapa Parut Kering (instant)

Ijoo..Ijoo...Ijooo..
Hmm..setelah mencoba membuat "Dango" japanese sweet glutinous rice, sisa tepung ketan akhirnya kubuat klepon saja. Bagi Ibu-ibu yang tinggal jauh dari kampung halaman seperti saya, susah menemukan buah kelapa yang segar buat diparut. Hmm parutannya juga gak punya ding hehe..
Tapi pasti ibu-ibu mudah mencari kelapa parut yg kering, yang sudah di packed dan dikeringkan.
Kalau menemukan jenis kelapa seperti itu, jangan khawatir..karena cara pemakaiannya mudah kok.
Mau itu di buat urap, isi dadar gulung, buat klepon atau apapun yang membutuhkan kelapa parut..cukup memberinya sedikit air panas,lalu dikukus. Hasilnya?taraaaa...sama seperti kelapa parut made in pasar ^-^ Niiiihh..saya buat klepon pakai kelapa parut jenis tersebut loh. Suami saya juga suka..rasa klepon juga sedikit mirip mochi. Jadi suami tercintaku suka deh hehe..alhamdulillah..

My Stars

When I look at them,... I feel I am the happiest Mother in the world
When I see their sick,... I keep watching them on all of the time until they feel better
When they give me hugs and kisses,... that's the most precious moment in my life as a MOTHER
When I get angry and tired because of their naughtiness and actives children... it remind me of my childhood
I wish I can raise you all in the right path of Allah Ta'ala, with all of my love MY STARS..
You are the precious stars Allah gave me ...
You are the shines who cheer me up when I feel sad..
I LOVE YOU MY SON AND DAUGHTER
May Allah make you both pious Muslim and Muslima
May Allah keep giving you both more Imaan and Taqwa
May Allah always give you both happiness
May Allah protect you both from dajjal's fitnah and any shirk
May Allah give you the best health and rizq'

ameen...ameen..Allahumma ameen...
