T for Tuesday - Annual Felton Markets

April 25th each year is the anniversary of ANZAC Day the landing at Galipolli by Australian and New Zealand armed forces in 1915 . It was an 8 month campaign of war with many lost lives. I have a special post for ANZAC going up on the 25th April with a recipe for Anzac Biscuits, if you'd like to come back and visit.

This was the poster at the Felton Food Festival advertising for solders in 1915 to go to that war. I love these posters, love the antiqueness of it.

 We went to the Felton Food Festival last weekend, it was 2hrs drive inland, hubby found out about it. It was a very country type of markets that is on once a year. It was a long drive and we only stayed an hour. I got some great stuff from there that was locally made 

I tried to get a picture of all the hay bales around the place that was put down for seating, very good idea.

oh heres a hay bale with goods displayed on it. The fields leading up to this property had sorghum growing all over the field for miles and miles, its the red one lying down

We weren't sure if they were advertising the sale of the plants or the planter here

T for Tuesday and Markets

Went to the markets again on Saturday, to one of our favourites called Carseldine Markets 

I love the ginger beer stall, I get a bottle every time we go there. The left bottle is Strawberry, the middle is Raspberry but they didn't have any labels made for it and the bottle on the right is Coconut flavoured ginger beer. The normal ginger beer is very gassy so these home made ones are less gassy ad very nice. The only thing I don't like is the kefir flavour. 

We got breakfast, my favourite Malaysian Chicken curry and Canai. Michael had cheese and bacon Canai which is a bread that is amazing to watch when they make it.

T for Tuesday and Weekend Markets

 A year ago we moved to the most beautiful state in Australia, Queensland the Sunshine State and the city of Brisbane where the G20 summit was held last year. We've discovered weekend markets are in abundance here. This is the Redcliffe Markets on the foreshore of Redcliffe Jetty.

We aim to visit as many markets as we can on the weekends to find out what awesome stuff is around. So Stay tuned

 There were many wonderful stalls there with food and other items of interest 

I've taken to eating this for lunch or dinner, rye cruskits with avocado, tomato and tuna and my homemade tomato chutney. YUmmmmmm
