Mashed together, separate, on celery, in smoothies, on toast, on bread, together in pancakes (amazing, by the way!).. the list is endless. So I wanted to share a couple of recipes I have come across including these 2 obsessions!<br />
<br />
Bananas first......<br />
I came across this recipe from <a href="http://joannagoddard.blogspot.com.au/2012/03/best-banana-bread-youll-ever-have-with.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+blogspot/bboSV+(A+CUP+OF+JO)&utm_content=Google+Reader">A cup of Jo</a>. Its a wonderful blog, you must check it out!<br />
It is called "<i>The best banana bread you'll ever have (with Bourbon and Chocolate chunks)" </i>Sounds too good to be true!<br />

Following the untimely death of his young sister, <a href="http://www.motoi.biz/english/e_top/e_top_right.html" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">Motoi Yamamoto</a> began making these incredibly intricate ephemeral installations of salt. Not only are his pieces a commentary on the fleeting nature of life but salt is a large part of the death culture of Japan, used often in funerals. Can you imagine seeing one of these in person?<br />via <a href="http://trendland.net/motoi-yamamotos-salt-installations/#" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">Trendland</a><br />

I love when I get to indulge in a food inspired weekend! It started with Grill'd on a very wet and rainy Friday night. I missed the BrisStyle Twilight market due to said wet weather and boy, did it set in! I quickly ran from my car with the brolli, picked up my take away and ran back to the car! I enjoyed the crispy bacon and cheese with the tasty rosemary salt chips! yum!</div>

Sam and I enjoyed 3 courses of gorgeous bistro-style cuisine in a welcoming and cosy environment. We started with the sticky pork spare ribs and pan fried haloumi with beetroot, quinoa, lemon and almond. One word for the ribs - AMAZING! The meat was falling off the bone and coated in a sweet and rich sauce that tasted like heaven! I would go back just for that as (consistently) good ribs are hard to find these days. The haloumi was a generous size with the lemon providing the great acidity to cut through the salty cheese. The nutty quinoa was well paired with the earthy beetroot. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
My main was the spatchcock and it was enormous. I didn't realize I would be getting the whole bird! It was beautifully cooked in a rich, meaty jus and served on a bed of cavalo nero with a side of duck fat potatoes. Sam ordered the lamb cutlets with tzatziki and served with beetroot puree and israeli couscous in a tomato sauce. It was tasty, but not as good as mine! It was also on the smaller size, but that didn't matter as I had spatchcock to share!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
For dessert, I chose the mini vanilla bean panna cotta which was perfect - in size and flavour! Lovely texture and topped with a thin chocolate layer on top which added an extra somethin' somethin'. Sam enjoyed the chocolate nut brownie with vanilla bean ice cream and toasted coconut. This was so yummy and had a bitter chocolate taste - not too sweet :). The service was attentive, but not over the top as well as friendly and fun. We left The Crosstown very happy and very full! We will be back again!</div>

Sunday was fairly low key. For our morning coffee, we went to see Naomi at Shucked in Newstead. I enjoyed their new signature blend "Shuck n awe"- smooth and well balanced. I love the breakfast menu here and would've dove in had I not eaten so much the night before! :P</div>

For afternoon tea, Sam and I went to visit Bien at Dello Mano. They opened up on Doggett st, Fortitude Valley last November and have enjoyed growing success ever since. I tried the signature hot chocolate (filled with spices) and a peanut butter brownie. Sooo good! Dello Mano really does make the best brownies EVER! Sam had the iced chocolate which had the same spicy, chocolate base as mine, but mixed with ice cream. Delicious!</div>

Isn't she cute? But to divert your attention for a moment, the hair band is one of 3 that I sent down to my little niece, Lola, in Sydney. She had her nappy bag stolen while on holiday in the UK recently, which had all her cute little hair accessories.. I was quick on the case to whip up some more for her, but I forgot to take pics of the other 2! Oops! I also made a little bear with blanket stitch detail and a bumble bee :)</div>jessiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10488729519633768118noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659007816296357286.post-13815008631279601692012-01-22T10:21:00.002+10:002012-01-22T10:21:35.611+10:00northey st organic market<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Just checked them out and I bought some great things - coconut flakes, nut butter, fresh veges, bananas and I enjoyed a raw food brownie! There is also take-away Di Bella coffee for sale, organic meats, breads, jams, honey and tea! Plus there is a dog park nearby so they get some exercise too. It's right around the corner from me in Windsor (yay!), near the netball courts and is a lovely way to spend a sunday morning. These markets are on every sunday 6 - 10:30am</div>

</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Best Indian: </b></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Punjabi Palace - fantastic naan (try Punjabi delight! spinach and cheese) and delicious chicken mahkini in the Chef's specialties</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Best Mexican: </b></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Tuckeria for great fresh mexican. The burritos are huge and flavourful and the tacos are full, fresh and super tasty!</li>
</ul>
<div>
<b>Favourite Greek:</b></div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Ouzeri, West End. This Place is always full and once you've tried the food, you know why! The skordalia dip with warm turkish bread as a starter is sooo good and followed by the meat and potatoes oven baked in a bag, you're sure to eat well! It has been a while since I have eaten here, so I hope they still serve the same great food. I must re-visit!</li>
</ul>
<div>
<b>Best Burger:</b></div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Burger Urge, New Farm. With the recent menu change and renovations now complete, Burger Urge is a fun casual spot for a bit to eat. I love the Cheese Louise with bacon and the sweet potato fries with lime aioli! The Zorba the Greek burger is also pretty amazing.</li>
<li>Grill'd also gets a mention for consistently providing great burgers and chips. I love the rosemary seasoning on the fries :D I'm never disappointed when I leave here.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<b>Best Sushi:</b></div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Sushi Train at Indooroopilly is a tasty suburban find. The chicken and avocado nigiri is awesome, as is the gyoza. I am also a hug fan of the fresh salmon and avocado sashimi. For a dinner that provides all the well loved Japanese(/Westen!) favourites, Sushi train hits the spot! Be prepared to wait, though, as it is very popular.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<b>Best Chinese:</b></div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>I always love Super Bowl, Chinatown, the Valley. See my blog post<a href="http://goodboycracky.blogspot.com/2012/01/jessiedex-super-bowl-fortitude-valley.html"> here</a></li>
</ul>
<div>
<b>Best Vietnamese: </b></div>

<ul>
<li>Trang's, West End. I love the rice paper rolls! Very basic decor, but cheap and tasty food! win/win!</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Best Turkish: </b></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Caravanserai, West End. The Ottoman meze was a great starter - so much delicious fresh food - dips, meat skewers, turkish bread, haloumi.. and more!</li>
</ul>

<b>Best Bistro style:</b></div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Continental Cafe, New Farm. I finally found a delicious French Onion Soup here! The Spring lamb with root vegetables as a main was perfect.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<b>Best German food:</b></div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>The German club (Zum Kaiser), Woolloogabba. The pork belly is fantastic and the atmosphere is always fun and friendly. They also do Pork Knuckle! Yes! I love the beer hall too!</li>

I only found out what a "Tardis"was recently, thanks to an episode of Grey's Anatomy. In the episode, a building fell down where a comic book/gaming convention was being held. The victims were taken to Seattle Grace hospital. One guy arrived in Emergency clutching a Tardis - and his ear had been torn off! Others were dressed as zombies and mistaken for being hurt with all the blood and guts from their costumes! haha Good times...</div>

I thought this was a good opportunity to introduce some of the Jessiedex favourites in Woolloogabba!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I went vintage shopping on Saturday! yes! I love vintage shopping! So many cool items to discover - especially at the Woolloongabba Antique Store, 22 Wellington street. It is HUGE!! The floor area is filled with hundreds of small, individually stocked "micro shops". You really could spend hours here, uncovering all the nooks and crannies! This store also has a cute little cafe inside (at the front), serving wraps, sandwiches and a selection of sweet things. I really love their eclectic mix of teapots for serving and the salt and pepper shakers on the tables.</div>

I also stopped in at Brown Dog cafe for a take away coffee. It was very busy, not a free table in sight, so very popular with the locals. The coffee was nice and the service is friendly :) Definitely worth a trip back to try the food!</div>

In the Jessiedex, for good Chinese, I recommend "Super Bowl" 185 Wickham street, Chinatown. It is also well know for its mouthwatering Peking Duck (2 courses)!</div>

We arrived at about 7pm and these tables weren't filled yet, so I thought we were in for a quiet night! By about 7:30, the place was packed with rowdy conversation and the eager anticipation for good food.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
It is a rather "no frills" place to eat - minimal decor inside and out and the floor is lined with a maze of tables and chairs. However, where <i>Super Bowl</i> lacks in design, it more then makes up for with a substantial menu filled with chef's specialities, Chinese and Malaysian dishes. I'd also suggest you make a booking as I've never see this place empty! Although, I did see a few walk-ins were accommodated quickly, if you are game to try your luck!</div>

Our first course arrived of Peking duck - thin pancakes with hoisin sauce and filled with cucumber, shallots and of course, the crispy duck skin! <i>Super Bowl</i> often leaves some meat with the skin, so you get a nice, juicy bite of duck. There was 6 of us at dinner, and with 8 pancakes, 2 of us were lucky enough to get an extra serve!</div>

The second course of the Peking duck is San Choi Bow, which uses the meat part of the duck in a stir-fry with vegetables and puffed noodles. This is then served in a iceberg lettuce leaf. You roll it all up and enjoy! It is sooo delicious with the tender duck meat, and the crunch of the lettuce provides a great texture. </div>

The crackling BBQ pork is another dish I always order! It has the salty, crunchy skin which melts in your mouth, the juicy fatty layer and then the moist meat layer - all in a bite size piece! Amazing! I could just eat a plate of this and nothing else! :P</div>

Something new that we tried was the crispy skin Shandong chicken with bones. It was very tender, but the bones proved to be a bit of a pain. I love sharing everything that we order, so I get to try it all! haha!</div>

<i>Super Bowl</i> is the ideal place to bring friends and enjoy some fairly cheap, tasty dishes in a casual environment. It definitely has a vibrant atmosphere with all the loud chatter of the customers enjoying themselves. Another tip, If you visit on your birthday, the staff dim the lights in the whole restaurant and sing "Happy Birthday" to you while your cake arrives!</div>

Today I worked on some designs for headbands! Elastic ones for baby girls and sourcing satin bands for the adult version :D Yay! I think I'll start with a Summer flower range and then branch into my current themes..... fancy a gingerbread man to wear in your hair?! The head bands will be a mix of "pretty" and "unconventional". My niece (Lola) will be the first to try them out for me as she lost all her cute baby things :(. She was traveling in the UK with her Mum and Dad, when their nappy bag was stolen as they were getting out of a cab! Who does that?! I want to make her some custom designs too - she's know as lollipop and lolly bean! hehe cute!</div>

I'm all stuffed up in the sinuses and feel a bit achy. I know I got it from Sam who got it from someone on plane home from KL. That's one bad thing about airplane travel - being crammed in a small area with people who might be carrying yucky germs to spoil your holiday! boo! It's a small risk compared to the joy of travel, though, so I won't complain too much!<br />

I have been thinking for a while about getting my second tattoo... My first one is of a black cat called "Sabbath" from Emily the Strange. It's on my right shoulder and I think I want to add to it. I've asked my sister, Briony who is an artist to design a whimsical tree theme with buttons for me. I like the tree in the last picture below. I have another idea of 3 coloured buttons on my forearm that look like they are "bouncing around"! :D The buttons were chosen from a collection my Gran gave me.</div>

Here i come!Yay! I am so excited about what the New Year will bring for myself, personally, and Good Boy Cracky as a micro business!<br />
My first, big resolution is to blog more! I think I'll be able to achieve this, as I have finally combined my GBC google account to my personal account. This simple task means I now don't have to log out and re-login of my Google Reader and Blogger account to post fun/interetsing links on my blog! Whew! I know it's not hard to relogin etc, but it has been a bit of an annoying road block which I have now lifted! I should have done this sooner! ;P<br />
<br />
Good Boy Cracky will be focused on more detailed designs this year, but I'll still have a range of the usual best sellers. I also want to broaden my range into hair bands, which I am enjoying wearing more and more too!<br />
My twitter account will be very active. It'll have a range of topics including moments from my daily life, fun links and other interesting bits and pieces! I like to keep it varied :D View my account <a href="http://www.twitter.com/goodboycracky">here</a>. I find it interesting when I read little tweets of other people's day... and I hope you do too!<br />
<br />
I'm also going to add a weekly post called the "Jessiedex". Now, this is my nickname from my friends who come to me to find out great places to eat around Brisbane! I often get phone calls asking a nice place to take a girlfriend for a special dinner or just a casual meal in the nearby suburb! Being a HUGE food lover, I have tried many delicious restaurants around Brisbane and I have quite a big "brain catalogue" or "Jessiedex" of where to eat! ha! So, I'll blog about recent places I've been and give a bit of a review. Yay! A food journalist would be an amazing job!<br />
If you are looking for a great food reviewer, check out the lovely Morag from <a href="http://www.missmoragsmorsels.com/">Miss Morag's Morsels</a><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
I'll also be sharing recipes for dishes I have made or that have caught my eye recently! Like this one below: <a href="http://rasamalaysia.com/tom-kha-gai-recipe-thai-coconut-chicken-soup/2/">Tom Kha Gai</a> (Thai coconut chicken soup)</div>

Over the New Year holiday, I went to Kuala Lumpur and Langkawi Island in Malaysia, so I will be posting some photos and commenting on my experiences in future blog entries. (I throughly recommend it for a holiday, by the way! :P)</div>
<div class="p4" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="p4" style="text-align: left;">
Other resolutions of mine are to: </div>
<ul class="ul1">
<li class="li6" style="text-align: left;">stop chewing my nails,</li>
<li class="li6" style="text-align: left;">become and Do-Gooder and document this on blog (see more about that <a href="http://www.meetmeatmikes.com/"><span class="s1">here</span></a>. Thanks, Pip!)</li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<ul class="ul1">
<li class="li7" style="text-align: left;">Control my food portions! (Mine are way too big!) Luckily I am also into <a href="http://www.crossfitroar.com/"><span class="s1">crossfit</span></a> for exercise, which helps this, but I still need to learn self control! ha!</li>
<li class="li7" style="text-align: left;">Slow down when eating meals (chopsticks make me eat slower... maybe I should eat with them all the time! :P)</li>
<li class="li7" style="text-align: left;">Keep craft room tidier (it always looks like "a bomb has gone off in it" as my boyfriend, Sam, likes to say!)</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Do you have any resolutions?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="p7" style="text-align: left;">
That's all from me for the moment! I hope you'll come back again soon and comment below if you want any info from the Jessiedex! hehe!</div>
<div class="p8" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="p7" style="text-align: left;">
All the best for 2012! x</div>

<b>Good thing for the day:</b> an embarassed girl dropped a baguette on the floor in the supermarket. I made sure it wasn't returned to the bread basket to be sold again (and gave it to the bakery section out the back).</div>
<div class="p8" style="text-align: left;">
<b>This good thing is for</b>: Woolworths and their customers, so they don't sell or eat dirty baguettes!</div>

Yes! I am creating some awesome new brooches for this market - recycled laminate discs covered with a playing card and embellished with vintage buttons! There might also be some fun Christmas brooches/hairclips up for sale, come on down and check it all out. There will be fun crafty workshops to participate in too! Hope to see you there!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I found this cute pic and wanted to include it on the blog.. So, here are some facts about me (and in no particular order):</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. I love fashion, but wish I was more adventurous with my style sometimes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. I love to talk about food, read about food, eat food, watch food being made.. basically anything to do with - FOOD!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. I love coffee and a piccolo is my coffee of choice right now.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. I have a (medium) addiction to exercise - specifically Crossfit!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5. I am sometimes referred to as the 'quiet one', and I wonder why this seems to frequently considered as a negative (or undesirable?) trait in people's books? On the flip side, I am very friendly to customers at my work or at markets and am able to be very bubbly and out-going from the word go...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5. I adore my boyfriend, Sam. And, as I hope you know (from the blog name!) our dogs, Cracky and Luca!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6. I am not a fan of bad spelling and punctuation - especially "your" when it should be "you're".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
7. Maths is not my strong point in life!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
8. I like watching TV shows about American Prisons and also weird documentaries about strange people, like mecaphiles (a person who has a romantic relationship with their car!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
9. I love having my hair brushed and scalp massaged.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
10. I am a worrier..... but am trying to be a warrior! haha :P</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
