It is hands down the best in Brisbane! The toppings change often (they have a seasonal approach to menu changes). Currently they are serving it with poached quinces & a crumb & Maleny cream! Simple but oh so perfect on a cool Brisbane winters morning! They also serve great coffee ( a favourite from way back ... cup coffee roasters ) !! win win!<br>

<br />
So after a much needed hiatus from the blog due to flooding, a hectic schedule, a career and the making and raising of a baby who is now a toddler - I am officially back. <br />
<br />
I have a massive back log to cover which is essentially a couple of years worth of must do, eat, drink and see posts that all relate to locations in and around this wonderful river city that is ... Brisneyland. <br />
<br />
Thank you to all the visitors new and old to my blog during my hiatus!! I hope to pick up and blog on bigger and better than ever! <br />
<br />
Stay tuned ... first up is a makeover! (ps. the makeover is a work in progress so i will add more functionality in time!)<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
hello friends!!<br />
<br />
as most of you guys may know, last year in January (as I write this, a year to the day as a matter of a fact) my husband and I lost our home of 8 years to the 2011 Queensland floods. <br />
<br />
long story short is that it was a very difficult year for us, but we do know that others all around us endured so much more hardship. So, yes, we were rather stressed out time after time as new challanges presented themselves, but we never felt unfortunate in any way. Plus, we had so much support from all our loved ones this last year and for that we are forever thankful. <br />
<br />
we were also lucky enough to have the financial capacity, and strength within ourselves to make some positive choices along the way and these choices have pushed forward our plans for a new house by quite a number of years and I couldnt be more excited about that. <br />
<br />
So, for now, I am actually here to say goodbye to the blog and to all our blogger friends and readers. <br />
<br />
the blog has been growing very rapidly over the last few months, yet, it has been the last few months that I have been unable to actually devote any substantial time to it. Every other day i receive requests and invites to fabulous new openings, events and am given the opportunity to review all sorts of fabulous new things from new restaurants, products, and design that I just cannot find the time to attend to.<br />
<br />
Aside the blog, I have a full time career in I.T which can be very demanding at the best of times and my role involves single handily supporting two firms of around 20 staff. However, the main reason for my lack of time at the moment is that we are right in the thick of getting our lives back on track post floods. We have only recently moved home - albeit to a very unfinished home - one that we have committed to finishing. My husband and I have started working 11 hour days, 7 days a week as a result and our time is split between our careers, and work at the house and that is about it. I am totally commited and enjoying this, as I am excited to finally be at this stage of the process, but as you can imagine that does leave us little time for much else. <br />
<br />
We also need to get serious in 2012 and start planning out our future dreams and aspirations (again) as it was all put on hold around this time, a year ago. If anything, it did put our priorities in place, our strengths to the test, and from that we were fortunate enough to find the start of our own new, personal, positive pathway. <br />
<br />
So a big thank you everyone that has read or supported the blog since its inception and we hope you have enjoyed keeping up to date with all of the awesome things our river city has on offer.<br />
<br />
We hope that you all keep discovering and living local!<br />

AND! Since it is flat packed - it was super easy to get home! </div><div class="storya"><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Brisbane’s newest and hottest dining destination is now open. Stokehouse, located at The Parklands, South Bank, is destined to become the restaurant of choice for foodies! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> Stokehouse was developed by Frank and Sharon van Haandel, who are responsible for several world-class projects including </span><a href="http://www.theprince.com.au/"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The Prince</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> (I love this place so much I was married there in 2009!) and the original </span><a href="http://www.stokehouse.com.au/"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Stokehouse</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> which is in St. Kilda, Melbourne. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Stokehouse Brisbane upholds a high standard of quality in its food, service and atmosphere in keeping with its St. Kilda namesake and the Van Haandel Group’s dedication to excellence.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Being a lover of architecture as well, I am also quite excited that award-winning architecture and interior design firm </span><a href="http://www.arkhefield.com.au/"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Arkhefield </span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">created Stokehouse Brisbane! <span style="line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">The use of dramatic, cantilevered roofs retains unimpeded views to the river and city from the dining areas and the materials palette has been kept deliberately simple and bold to reinforce the relationship between the interior design and architecture.</span></span></span><br />

<br />
I feel absolutely naked without my nails painted and have spent so much time over the last few years keeping them 'done'. One of my pet hates is that polish, no matter how hard you try, just doesn't last more than 3 or 4 days max! <br />
<br />
So last week I wandered past a local nail bar near my work in the Valley, called <a href="http://www.polishednailsandbeauty.com.au/contact/contact.html">polished nails and beauty </a>and was super excited to see that they offered Shellac Nails - for only $30!! (most other places are at least $50). <br />
<br />
Basically shellac is a gel like polish that is applied just like a normal manicure, but it lasts FOREVER! Well.. basically lasts until you are ready to have it removed. I have had mine now for a week and they look as glossy and as 'done' as the day i walked into the salon. My nails have started growing out now - but in a week or so I might do a half moon with polish at the cuticle so I can keep them for longer! <br />
<br />
They are absolutely the best thing ever! seriously - if you want to get a manicure, give this a go! you wont be disappointed! <br />
<br />
And I am sure that there are a bunch of salons offering this service now, but not so many for $30! <br />

<br />
1. Breakfast at The Chelsea Bistro at The Barracks<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.thechelsea.com.au/">http://www.thechelsea.com.au/</a><br />
<br />
All i can say... is go check the menu! and see if you can stop yourself from drooling! It really is as good as it sounds and I might even be inclined to say it was the best breakfast i have had in Brisbane for a very long time! <br />
<br />

3. Esquire on Eagle Street Brisbane City<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.esquire.net.au/">http://www.esquire.net.au/</a><br />
<br />
All you need to know about esquire is a) they do degustations (and will cater for vegetarians if you give them notice!) and b) the head chefs have worked at places with BIGger than BIG names i.e Noma which is the current #1 restaurant in the world! .. and El Bulli ... which was the #1 restaurant in the world for many years!<br />

<br />
They say -' if you don’t know where it was made, what it was made from or where it will end up – take it off! ' This is fashion cross sustainability and it's happening right here in brisbane <br />
<br />
This one off event will kick off tomorrow night, 15th October, on the Rooftop of the Chinatown Wilson car park. It will be transformed when three catwalks of student, vintage and established practice bring sustainable design to life, all focused on raising awareness about the lifecycle of fashion garments. <br />
<br />
Best of all .. tickets are free! All you have to do is <a href="http://undressbrisbane.eventbrite.com/"><span style="color: black;">register online</span></a>. ... you may even snag a free gift bag!<br />

I think this home has been published in almost every reputable magazine in publication known to man - and with good reason!<br />
<br />
So beautiful with moody blues and greys and little pops of vivid colour!<br />
<br />

<br />
Today we crossed the last big hurdle off our list and the house is officially happening! <br />
<br />
It is hard to believe that it was 9 months ago that the floods took our home but we are finally moving forward as two weeks ago construction started! yipppeee. <br />
<br />
We decided to make a positive out of a what was otherwise a devastating event and engaged reddog architects to design what is essentially an entirely new house (we are still keeping the shell and floors of the original 1930's structure however). It is going to be a big change and really is designed for us to live in and enjoy for another 5, 10 or 20 years - whatever it may be! The lower level will be 'flood proof' as such and is built out of robust materials that will withstand water! The upper level will of course be raised to above the current flood level - so we are giving an old house, new life and we hope that it will still be there in another 80 years time. <br />
<br />
We didn't quite expect to be making such a big change this year, but we are more than excited about seeing the house completed. It is going to be worth <em>every cent</em> we have personally had to put into it to make it happen. I can't say that we would go through the floods or such an emotionally draining and difficult year again for the house, but we have certainly done our best at making the most of a bad situation. And Reddog have been awesome!! Couldn't recommend them more highly! <br />
<br />
Now we can finally relax and enjoy the build process and hopefully be home in 2 months - with a completion date of end of January! Bring it On! <br />

NA House! (these are the original concept drawings so during the design process/detailed drawings it did change a little but it is essentially the same, just better :) ! and a little more 'us' in terms of the colours and finishes)<br />
