Now I hope I didn\'t freak you out too much that just when you thought that your dessert choice would be one that required no thinking or logic, BOOM! \n\nFlavor: Nut\nSalty and wonderful, adding a little crunch! Did you know that nuts and seeds are really good for brain power??? That makes the people who enjoy this flavor to be SUPER smart and intimidating.....like architects!\n\nI\'m a Nut. You\'re a Nut. We are all Nuts! Nut, nut, nut, NUT!! Pistachio, Butter Pecan, Almond… Can we all just agree that pistachios are absolutely amazing and have not nearly received as much praise as they are due? Okay, now that we\'ve gotten that out of the way. Those who\'s faves are from the Nut genre are among my favorite type of person. They usually tend to be inquisitive, delightful, misunderstood, non-conformists. Now why do I say this? There is something called a \"nut allergy\" (although Jack Donaghy says allergies are all in the mind and overcame a peanut allergy by sheer willpower!) Either way, people tend to freak out, \"IS THERE NUTS IN THIS???\" They even have gotten them removed from airplanes! It feels as if the Anti Nut Campaign is getting a little out of control. I think all this starts to bleed into the personalities of those who enjoy these little foods. They are inquisitive and relevant because lately every answer to my question of \"this is delicious! What is in it?\" is ‘Almonds, walnuts, pecans!’ Those who prefer these flavors seem to dabble in many different interests, and tend to be pretty darn good at whatever they are doing. They can be surprising and just what the occasion calls for. They don\'t feel the need to follow the crowd. They have their own ideas and opinions and stick to them. For that, they might rub some people the wrong way, or itch the back of people\'s throats the wrong way? (Is that scientifically accurate?)\n\nFlavor: Mixtures\nA little bit of that, and pinch of this, a tousle of that other good stuff, oh yea, a little bit more of that candy stuff, and just a smidge more of Whatchamacallit! Hey, whatever happen to Whatchamacallits? And how come spell check doesn\'t go all crazy about the way you spelled Whatchamacallit? (Mixture people tend to get a little sidetracked.....I am ashamed to admit :( )\n\nMixtures take a walk on the wild side. Collaborations! Ones that satisfy a palette like a duet from Barbra Streisand and Kanye would. Mint Chocolate Chip, Cookies and Cream, Rocky Road, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Moose Tracks....to name a few. For me, Mixtures are where it is at! Give me a bowl that is stuffed with chocolate pieces, fudge swirls, cookie bits, peanut butter chucks, caramel clusters and I am one satisfied lady. Seeing that I fall into this category, it is a little difficult to give a realistic opinion into these personality types, but I shall try. (Commence the tooting of my own horn!) You can find them to be funny, creative, caring, people loving people. They mesh and mix in nicely wherever they seem to find themselves. They like to venture outside of the black and white, instead choosing to operate in the grey in between. They are fantasy dwellers. They have softness to them, but also some sharp and hard edges that show themselves every once in a while. They can only handle solitude for a little while. They play well with others, and prefer it that as opposed to kickin\' it solo. I just wanna take a moment to give a shout out to peanut butter. Peanut Butter, I love you! My consumption of you is ridiculously high, and if I ever decide to dedicate my body to science they will find that 72% of me is made up of you! Peanut Butter, you rock my world! Never change! KIT!!\n\nFlavor: Overly Sweet\nAhhhhhh, sugar, sugar dodododotooo, you are my candy girl!!!!! Sugar high! Hey I LOVE those shoes!!! Oh, this is the BEST avocado ever! Look at that blue car! Today is just wonderful, isn\'t today just wonderful????\n\nLast, but not least, is the flavor that dentist dislike the most I\'m sure, the Overly Sweet flavors. Superman, Cotton Candy, Bubble Gum. Otherwise known as the flavors that will stain your lips, tongue, teeth and just about anything else it touches. What a special brand of people they are too, being lively, loud, energized, upbeat mammals. Think Leslie Knope-like (if Whipped Cream & Waffles had it\'s own ice cream flavor, FORGET ABOUT IT!). These ones tend to speak too fast for you to even catch four words of what they just said. Their octave is usually on the louder side, not necessarily for the attention, but simply because that is what they know and can\'t seem to function at a lower level. They never seem to be exhausted. They tend to be Optimistic Primes instead of Negatrons. They are the ones you call to go out with if you want to have a good night out on the town without having to do any of the thinking, just mention doing something on a Friday night and they are suggesting three different possibilities and almost screaming about how excited they are! Everyone, in my modest opinion, needs to have a handful of people like these in their lives. They help you going when you\'ve run out of steam. \n\nNow you have to think every time you visit your grocer\'s freezer aisle, or your local Popsicle stand, ‘What is my purchase saying about me? What am I telling the world? ‘Beware, this frozen dairy delight can be a tell-all book that you were not ready to publish. Now, I know you have this sneaky suspicion that you are consistently being judged. Don\'t worry, YOU ARE! Or not, I don\'t know.

They are inquisitive and relevant because lately every answer to my question of \"this is delicious!

They can be surprising and just what the occasion calls for. They don\'t feel the need to follow the crowd. They have their own ideas and opinions and stick to them.

Read part two of her witty report!</em>\r\n\r\nby <a href=\"mailto:kulamckula@gmail.com\">Kula</a>\r\n\r\nI don\'t know about you but I sure am craving a good frozen treat right about now! Now I hope I didn\'t freak you out too much that just when you thought that your dessert choice would be one that required no thinking or logic, BOOM! Think again..\r\n\r\n<strong>Flavor: Nut</strong>\r\n<em>Salty and wonderful, adding a little crunch! Did you know that nuts and seeds are really good for brain power??? That makes the people who enjoy this flavor to be SUPER smart and intimidating.....like architects!\r\n</em>\r\nI\'m a Nut. You\'re a Nut. We are all Nuts! Nut, nut, nut, NUT!! Pistachio, Butter Pecan, Almond… Can we all just agree that pistachios are absolutely amazing and have not nearly received as much praise as they are due? Okay, now that we\'ve gotten that out of the way. Those who\'s faves are from the Nut genre are among my favorite type of person. They usually tend to be inquisitive, delightful, misunderstood, non-conformists. Now why do I say this? There is something called a \"nut allergy\" (although Jack Donaghy says allergies are all in the mind and overcame a peanut allergy by sheer willpower!).\r\n\r\nEither way, people tend to freak out, \"IS THERE NUTS IN THIS???\" They even have gotten them removed from airplanes! It feels as if the Anti Nut Campaign is getting a little out of control. I think all this starts to bleed into the personalities of those who enjoy these little foods. They are inquisitive and relevant because lately every answer to my question of \"this is delicious! What is in it?\" is ‘Almonds, walnuts, pecans!’ Those who prefer these flavors seem to dabble in many different interests, and tend to be pretty darn good at whatever they are doing. They can be surprising and just what the occasion calls for. They don\'t feel the need to follow the crowd. They have their own ideas and opinions and stick to them. For that, they might rub some people the wrong way, or itch the back of people\'s throats the wrong way? (Is that scientifically accurate?).\r\n\r\n<strong>Flavor: Mixtures</strong>\r\n<em>A little bit of that, and pinch of this, a tousle of that other good stuff, oh yea, a little bit more of that candy stuff, and just a smidge more of Whatchamacallit! Hey, whatever happen to Whatchamacallits? And how come spell check doesn\'t go all crazy about the way you spelled Whatchamacallit? (Mixture people tend to get a little sidetracked.....I am ashamed to admit :( )\r\n</em>\r\nMixtures take a walk on the wild side. Collaborations! Ones that satisfy a palette like a duet from Barbra Streisand and Kanye would. Mint Chocolate Chip, Cookies and Cream, Rocky Road, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Moose Tracks....to name a few. For me, Mixtures are where it is at! Give me a bowl that is stuffed with chocolate pieces, fudge swirls, cookie bits, peanut butter chucks, caramel clusters and I am one satisfied lady. Seeing that I fall into this category, it is a little difficult to give a realistic opinion into these personality types, but I shall try. (Commence the tooting of my own horn!).\r\n\r\nYou can find them to be funny, creative, caring, people loving people. They mesh and mix in nicely wherever they seem to find themselves. They like to venture outside of the black and white, instead choosing to operate in the grey in between. They are fantasy dwellers. They have softness to them, but also some sharp and hard edges that show themselves every once in a while. They can only handle solitude for a little while. They play well with others, and prefer it that as opposed to kickin\' it solo. \r\n\r\nI just wanna take a moment to give a shout out to peanut butter. Peanut Butter, I love you! My consumption of you is ridiculously high, and if I ever decide to dedicate my body to science they will find that 72% of me is made up of you! Peanut Butter, you rock my world! Never change! KIT!!\r\n\r\n<strong>Flavor: Overly Sweet</strong>\r\n<em>Ahhhhhh, sugar, sugar dodododotooo, you are my candy girl!!!!! Sugar high! Hey I LOVE those shoes!!! Oh, this is the BEST avocado ever! Look at that blue car! Today is just wonderful, isn\'t today just wonderful????\r\n</em>\r\nLast, but not least, is the flavor that dentist dislike the most I\'m sure, the overly sweet flavors. Superman, Cotton Candy, Bubble Gum. Otherwise known as the flavors that will stain your lips, tongue, teeth and just about anything else it touches. What a special brand of people they are too, being lively, loud, energized, upbeat mammals. Think Leslie Knope-like (if Whipped Cream & Waffles had it\'s own ice cream flavor, FORGET ABOUT IT!). These ones tend to speak too fast for you to even catch four words of what they just said. Their octave is usually on the louder side, not necessarily for the attention, but simply because that is what they know and can\'t seem to function at a lower level. They never seem to be exhausted. They tend to be Optimistic Primes instead of Negatrons. They are the ones you call to go out with if you want to have a good night out on the town without having to do any of the thinking. Just mention doing something on a Friday night and they are suggesting three different possibilities and almost screaming about how excited they are! Everyone, in my modest opinion, needs to have a handful of people like these in their lives. They help you going when you\'ve run out of steam. \r\n\r\nNow you have to think every time you visit your grocer\'s freezer aisle, or your local Popsicle stand, ‘What is my purchase saying about me? What am I telling the world? ‘Beware, this frozen dairy delight can be a tell-all book that you were not ready to publish. Now, I know you have this sneaky suspicion that you are consistently being judged. Don\'t worry, YOU ARE! Or not, I don\'t know. \r\n\r\nMaybe you just really need that pint of Chunky Monkey because you have had a rough week, and not because you are an upbeat control freak secretly trying to masquerade as an easy going gal. So next time you settle yourself in with a nice bowl of the creamed ice, just think, ‘OH yea! This is me world. Can you dig it’? And then inevitably shout I SCREAM, YOU SCREAM, WE ALL SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM!\r\n','You Want to Know Who I Am? Check My Freezer!

More than just a phase, I personally have come to appreciate these provisions for stimulating my mental taste buds to recall the flavours that pervaded my youth. Heirloom fruits and vegetables are ones germinated from seeds that were cultivated during earlier periods of human history and are not used in large scale modern agricultural processes. They are noted for their rich, true-to-nature flavour. In other words they actually taste intensely like what they <em>are</em>; not a watered down version like many of their modern-day counterparts.\r\n\r\nBeing raised in a city there wasn\'t much space to grow and cultivate, but my parents always found a way. The circumference of our garden was home to petite, sweet yet juicy red strawberries. I remember excitedly running outside to peek underneath the rich dark leaves, yelping with glee at the small red treasure the plant yielded. The fruit were small but succulent and tasted undeniably like a strawberry. Sadly most of what is seen in stores today are flavourless gargantuan sized caricature\'s of their ancestors.  Heirloom strawberries don\'t often reach the retail market, although they do exist. However, the strawberry you get at a farmer\'s market will taste infinitely better than the ones at your local supermarket. \r\n\r\nEach season I am excited to purchase heirloom vegetables at my local farmers market. Tomatoes are available quite freely. Carrots, beans, radishes, squash, peppers..the list blossoms in their due season. They add a dimension to any dish that you will undeniably find surprising and reminiscent of the food you enjoyed growing up { if you are over the age of say 20 }. \r\n\r\nI like to be aware of trends but adopt them rarely. Heirloom produce however, is one I quite proudly succumb to and encourage others to do likewise. There are few precious things in life nowadays but a good meal is one of them. A meal that causes you to pause and enjoy the gift the land you cross all day offers you. A gift of sustenance, flavour and memories.','I keep my most precious heirlooms in the fridge..','','publish','open','open','','i-keep-my-most-precious-heirlooms-in-the-fridge','','','2012-03-19 22:05:45','2012-03-20 02:05:45','',0,'http://cravenmaven.com/?p=6325',0,'post','',2),(6314,1,'2012-03-06 09:44:39','2012-03-06 14:44:39','<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\"><iframe src=\"http://player.vimeo.com/video/37837390?title=0&amp;byline=0&amp;portrait=0&amp;color=ffffff\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"450\" height=\"253\"></iframe></span></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\"><a href=\"http://vimeo.com/37837390\">Kinfolk Dinner — Brooklyn, New York</a> from <a href=\"http://vimeo.com/kinfolk\">Kinfolk</a> on <a href=\"http://vimeo.com\">Vimeo</a>.</span></p>\r\nKinfolk Magazine recently hosted a dinner in the Green Building in Brooklyn, NY.

A few pieces that particularly piqued my interest, come from the <a href=\"http://postfossil.ch/collection/trattoria-utopia-2011\">Trattoria Utopia project</a> by Swiss design team <a href=\"http://postfossil.ch/postfossil\">Postfossil</a>. A collection of dining objets, from stools to cutlery - each piece is created with the purpose of influencing social behaviour and social thinking to lead the user in a direction they may otherwise not have taken.\r\n\r\nMy favourite pieces from this collection are the Juri cutlery.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"border: 0pt none;\" src=\"http://www.remain-silent.com/cm/PC/slowfoodcutlery.jpg\" alt=\"slowfood cutlery\" width=450></p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\">image via <a href=\"http://postfossil.ch\">postfossil</a></span></p>\r\n\r\nArt piece-cum-practical flatware, <strong>5 Forks on the Subject of Slow Food</strong> is a study in <em>slowing down in the context of eating</em>. Via the scaling down of the ladle and fork prongs the user is literally forced to eat more deliberately and less vehemently. Subtle adjustments like these that limit the ability of the eater could aid in creating a more conscious eater and increase how much one savours their  food. From Postfossil\'s point of view it raises the discussion of sustainable agriculture and traditional food trades not to mention the influence on our health and well being that comes with taking more time to enjoy a meal.\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"border: 0pt none;\" src=\"http://www.remain-silent.com/cm/PC/cutleryset.jpg\" alt=\"cutlery set\" width=450></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\">image via <a href=\"http://postfossil.ch\">postfossil</a></span></p>\r\n\r\n\r\nImagine a <strong>cutlery set</strong> intentionally designed to reduce your ability to consume meat. An unserrated knife, a zinc laden fork { to provide the zinc intake you are missing out on by not eating meat }, these tools limit your ability to cut and stab meat whereas vegetable and softer foods are no issue. Developed as a reaction to the \'controversial energy consumption issues\' of <a href=\"http://www.good.is/post/infographic-a-century-of-meat-consumption/\">meat eating</a> - it\'s an interesting concept that may have real world application for those trying to quit eating meat. { Who am I kidding? If I were a meat eater, i\'d resort to using my fingers if someone gave me this cutlery. } Nonetheless, the aesthetic is gorgeous and as an art piece, conversation piece and usable tool this is definitely an object that I would have in my home as an affirmation of my vegetarianism.\r\n\r\nThe <strong>personal cutlery</strong> carry pouch harps back to earlier times when people carried their own cutlery. Today, disposable knives and forks are the norm, and to be honest they are often about as useful as a mouthful of spit in a firestorm. Taking personal responsibility for ones own cutlery could seem a small thing, but in the age of over-consumption and burgeoning <a href=\"http://www.good.is/post/documentary-traces-history-and-shortcomings-of-the-landfill\">landfills</a>, reducing our contribution even slightly is  better than nothing.\r\n\r\nCheck out more by Postfossil <a href=\"http://postfossil.ch/postfossil\">here</a>.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\">Thanks to <a href=\"http://raykyle.com/\">Ray</a> for the heads up about this!</span>','Practical Conceptualism: Eating slowly, eating vegetarian','','inherit','open','open','','4600-revision-14','','','2011-04-15 09:33:42','2011-04-15 13:33:42','',4600,'http://cravenmaven.com/2011/04/4600-revision-14/',0,'revision','',0),(6360,1,'2010-02-24 09:37:33','2010-02-24 14:37:33','Yesterday was a big day here at Craven Maven. Not only did I make my 100th post, but this site had more visitors in one day than ever before! A nice precursor to today\'s  \'first\'. Two weeks ago I debuted a new blog posting here at CravenMaven about Practical Conceptualism. Concept designs that maybe, just maybe if we changed our perspective could have a very useable application in the \'real world\'. That first post was about the <a href=\"http://cravenmaven.wordpress.com/2010/02/10/conceptual-furniture-and-design-in-the-kitchen/\">Marbelous Table</a> from the studio of <a href=\"http://www.ontwerpduo.nl/\">Ontwerpduo</a> in The Netherlands. I am pleased to say that Ontwerpduo was kind enough to answer a few questions for CravenMaven! As this is a special treat this post will stay atop the blog til the end of this week.\n\nA self confessed ‘dreamer and mathematician’ Ontwerpduo graduated but two years ago cum laude from the Design Academy and are now a part of one of my favourite collectives <a href=\"http://www.atelierdorp.nl/news.htm\">Atelierdorp</a>. Their work is rife with child like whimsy and fantasy, coupled with  a sense of order and strong pragmatism.\n\n\n<img src=\"http://www.ontwerpduo.nl/img/ontwerpduo/ontwerpduo_team.jpg\" alt=\"Ontwerpduo Team\" width=\"300/\">\n<strong>Nathan Wierink and Tineke Beunders</strong>\n\n<strong>CravenMaven:</strong> Can you tell us a little bit about your background? What led you to become designers?\n\n<strong>Ontwerpduo:</strong> When we were kids, we both liked to make things, to repair things and to draw. Later, around the age of 15 it became a very big hobby, untill we found out that we could also do it as a profession. We still work the way we did, when we were younger. We like to sketch and talk about new ideas, we make scale models, and we avoid computerwork!\n\n\n<strong>CM:</strong> What is a typical day for Ontwerpduo?\n\n<strong>O: </strong>Going crazy in the workshop, which is full of materials, machines and ideas. we experiment a lot. but also in the same day we answer our mail, talk to clients, make furniture.\n\n<img src=\"http://remain-silent.com/cm/StudioSpace.jpg\" alt=\"Studio Space at Atelierdorp\" />\n\n\n<strong>CM:</strong> In some of your designs (eg. L-Loop Lamp), you mention \'The function becomes decoration\'. This is an aspect I see in many of your designs, how important is it that your work is functional as well as visually and intellectually stimulating?\n\n<strong>O:</strong> This is a very important \'rule\' in our designs. We both like to tell stories and create atmospheres with our work, but we always want the object or piece of furniture to be usable and practical. We are designers, not artists.\n\n<img src=\"http://remain-silent.com/cm/LLoop.jpg\" alt=\"LLoop\" />\n\n<strong>CM:</strong> There is a keen interest in your pieces for children and adult to interact on the same level - pieces that are playful for kids and aesthetic enough for adults not to want to \'put them away\'. Why is this important to you?\n\n<strong>O:</strong> For me it is just strange that the world of children and the world of adults are so different, in the way of products, furniture and interior. Because the both worlds often live together. It is more obvious to have a sheared world.\n\n<img src=\"http://remain-silent.com/cm/adultchildren.jpg\" alt=\"Raster- enables child adult interaction\" />\n\n<strong>CM:</strong> Do you approach commercial projects with a vastly different mindset than those which are conceptual?\n\n<strong>O:</strong> No, at least, not in the beginning. In the beginning we have the same process. But mostly, after a while, we have to make a change in the concept, we have to think about for example the transportation of the pieces, the efficiency of using material in mass production, the production costs etc etc.\n\n<img src=\"http://remain-silent.com/cm/highloft.jpg\" alt=\"High Loft Project\" />\n\n<strong>CM:</strong> How would you describe or classify your style of work? How would you like to see it develop in the future?\n\n<strong>O:</strong> Functional playful, this is what you will find in most of our objects. We don\'t know how it will develop in the future, for us it is most important to keep the level of fun we have in our job every day.\n\n\n\n<strong>CM:</strong> I love love love the Marbelous table! It is such a wonderful and realistic harmony of function and fantasy, will this ever be a commercial product?\n\n<strong>O:</strong> No, we don\'t think this table will be a commercial product in this design. The production costs are to high. But it is possible that a table in a more simple version, but with the same idea will be a commercial product...\n\n<img src=\"http://cravenmaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/marbelous_lk.jpg?w=468\" alt=\"Marbelous\" width=\"400/\">\n\n<strong>CM:</strong> This is a foodie blog, so I have to ask - what is your favourite Dutch meal?!\n\n<strong>O:</strong> The favourite dutch meal of all times: <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stamppot\">stamppot</a>, in the way my mother makes it!\n\n<strong>CM:</strong> Thanks so much!

I find that often when one refers to food and it\'s \'effects\' on the body, many presume on the powers of Tryptophan and the pleasing response of Serotonin. But there is more to it than just a chemical response. Eating has been a communal activity from primeval times--an inevitable gathering to share in a similar act. Engaging in such an activity with others opens one up to the idea of sharing more than bread. They are after all eyewitnesses to ones consciously ingesting foreign objects of nutritional value { one hopes }, into ones body. An incredibly personal act in a public space if you over think it. It\'s only right..that one would then share things that pertain to the more external personal aspects of ones life.\n\nI will never forget the pub lunch when I learned that Xaviera wasn\'t a mouthy, classroom rabble rouser because she was obnoxious; but rather because she was never granted the chance to set roots and establish close friendships because of her father\'s frequently relocating career. She was scared, fragile and shy. Her apparent overbearing demeanour her way of protecting herself. An act of self preservation. Her truth she revealed to us as we chomped our way through some sort of pie and pint. I never saw her in the same light again. Her menace diminished. She was...real.\n\nThen I grew some more. Pub lunches were replaced with \'dinners\' at friends houses or restaurants with cloth for napkins. Pints gave way to wine glasses or sturdy tumblers swishing with old fashioned\'s. The sophistication and nutritional value of the meals also improved as did the quality and freeness of conversation. I\'ve always been a shy one { much to the shock of those who don\'t know me as one of six }, and love to listen, observe, yet only occasionally speak.

But this week, let\'s mix things up a bit shall we? I present for you, two great videos about Australia based food truck owner Raph Rashid. But Saer where\'s the music you ask? Well it\'s everywhere, sort of, as Raph\'s burger and fries serving truck is painted to look like a massive ghetto blaster (aka stereo). That\'s right, like an old-school back-in-da-day sort of ghetto blaster. \r\n\r\nRaph* credits his musical influences to the outcome of such a design. Personally, a kitchen on wheels appeals to the nostalgic memories of my youth. That excitement of seeing a truck with treats coming down the street, visiting New York and watching break dancers let rip with nothing more than a boxy ghetto blaster as accompaniment. \r\n\r\nNostalgia and blatant music reminiscence aside, the beatbox kitchen is known for quality eats such as grass fed beef burgers--not your typical street meat. And it\'s going from strength to strength adding a second truck to the fold, simply called \'Taco Truck\'.\r\n\r\nCheck out part 1 and 2 of the ongoing interview series conducted by New Balance.

I\'ve been a longtime fan of the Beatbox Kitchen, for both it\'s aesthetic and gastro-ideals. So to see the personal philosophies of the one behind it is a real treat. I find myself nodding enthusiastically about near everything Raph says--from making sure he looks after his family first, to \'just getting on\' with the tedious tasks because they must be done as much as the fun ones, to taking pause for a cup of coffee. Good coffee. \r\n\r\nPart 3 provides insight into the realism of a life with a family and a burgeoning business. It\'s admirable how Raph strives to keep it real on both counts.  \r\n\r\nPart 4 takes us to the Taco Truck\'s first encounter with the <a href=\"http://www.boogie.net.au/\">Boogie Festival</a>*, shows us a bit behind the scenes of Raph\'s follow up book to his 2005 release <a href=\"http://www.northsiderecords.com.au/?p=211\">Behind the Beat</a>, and reaffirms that you have only one shot to make a classic. Whatever it is that you are working on. \r\n\r\nEnjoy and have a great weekend!\r\n\r\n* Check out the music of <a href=\"http://lanielane.net/music/\">Lanie Lane</a>, who performed at this years <a href=\"http://www.boogie.net.au/\">Boogie Festival.</a> This girl is wicked!','Food & Music: Beatbox Kitchen...keeping it real','','publish','open','open','','food-music-beatbox-kitchen-keeping-it-real','','','2012-05-04 09:25:31','2012-05-04 13:25:31','',0,'http://cravenmaven.com/?p=6406',0,'post','',0),(6385,1,'2012-04-27 01:53:46','2012-04-27 05:53:46','<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\"><iframe src=\"http://player.vimeo.com/video/19735350?color=C60C30\" width=\"470\" height=\"264\" frameborder=\"0\" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe> <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\"><a href=\"http://vimeo.com/19735350\">NB574.com | Raph Rashid | Part 1</a> from <a href=\"http://vimeo.com/nb574\">NB 574</a> on <a href=\"http://vimeo.com\">Vimeo</a>.</span></p></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\"><iframe src=\"http://player.vimeo.com/video/21186827?color=C60C30\" width=\"470\" height=\"264\" frameborder=\"0\" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe> <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\"><a href=\"http://vimeo.com/21186827\">NB574.com | Raph Rashid | Part 2</a> from <a href=\"http://vimeo.com/nb574\">NB 574</a> on <a href=\"http://vimeo.com\">Vimeo</a>.</span></p></span></p>\r\n\r\nI feel like lately I have been besieged with food with musical references.

The daughter of a butcher, this artist was a fan of foodism at a young age--from making mud pies to dressing like Julia Child for halloween. Through the end of this month catch her work at <a href=\"http://www.marchsf.com/\">MARCH San Francisco</a>.\r\n\r\nCarrie Mae\'s images have strong brush strokes that juxtapose subdued neutral tones. The cuts of meat are a startling subject matter that draws one in to the intricacies of the image as a way to comprehend the thoughts behind such an often seen, yet rarely displayed object.\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\"><img class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"border-style: initial; border-color: initial; border-width: 0px;\" src=\"http://www.remain-silent.com/cm/kewlstuff/MARCH_CMSmith_meats.jpg\" alt=\"carrie mae smith sausages\" width=\"470\" height=\"313\" />her subdued tones are gentle versus the stark subject matter</span></p>\r\n\r\nIt is hardly surprising that this artists work is such an ode to food, having traveled abroad and participated in a farm exchange program, called Willing Workers On Organic Farms.

The daughter of a butcher, this artist was a fan of foodism from a young age--from making mud pies to dressing like Julia Child for halloween. Through the end of this month catch her work at MARCH San Francisco.\n\nCarrie Mae\'s work has strong brush strokes that juxtapose subdued neutral tones.

A self confessed \'womens tea\', it\'s chock full of Dong Quai, Organic raspberry leaves, fennel seed and a juniper berry extract that perfectly compliments the gin AND brings relief during that less than pleasant time of the month!\r\n\r\nDon\'t worry lads, you can certainly enjoy this tea without compromising your testosterone. In fact, I highly recommend this as a breezy summer\'s day drink--to be enjoyed outdoors with a liberal serving of friends and chat.\r\n\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\"><img class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"border-style: initial; border-color: initial; border-width: 0px;\" src=\"http://www.remain-silent.com/cm/myplate/recipes/girlsbest2.jpg\" alt=\"girls best friend\" width=\"470\" height=\"470\" />image by me via instagram</span></p>\r\n\r\n<b>You will need:</b>\r\nHalf glass of iced <a href=\"http://www.yogiproducts.com/products/details/womans-moon-cycle/\">Yogi Moon Cycle tea</a>\r\nA tablespoon of ginger laurel dark simple syrup\r\nA shot glass of Hendrick\'s Gin*\r\nSprig of lavender\r\nIce<br>\r\n\r\n\r\n<strong>To make the iced tea:</strong>\r\n\r\nIn a 32 oz pitcher, steep 4 bags of <a href=\"http://www.yogiproducts.com/products/details/womans-moon-cycle/\">Yogi Moon Cycle tea</a> in hot water.\r\nCover the pitcher and allow to cool in the fridge. \r\nWhen the tea has cooled stir, discard the tea bags.\r\nKeep refrigerated.\r\n\r\n<strong>\r\nTo make the ginger-laurel dark simple syrup:</strong>\r\n\r\nPeel an inch square nob of ginger and place in 2 cups of water.\r\nBring water to a boil\r\nStir in 2 cups of raw brown sugar\r\nTurn the heat low and stir until the sugar dissolves completely.\r\nAdd laurel leaves and turn off the heat\r\nWhen the syrup has cooled to room temperature, pour into a sterilized glass jar and keep refrigerated.\r\n\r\n<b>Want to be A Girl\'s best friend?

It is a hands-on model to provide people access to opportunity. We call it “advocacy through industry.”\n\nWe believe that the commonality between currencies, flags and languages is people. It is people who are the innovators, the advocates, and the revolutionaries. Apolis is a small group of social entrepreneurs who believe that the most valuable practice in creating lasting change is by investing in people.\n\nIn 2004, brothers Raan & Shea Parton, founded Apolis with a simple idea that people can live better lives if they are given equal access to opportunity. Their travels abroad immersed them in personal stories of struggle and survival that inspired them to create a business model that bridges commerce and microeconomic development. Along with their commitment to global advocacy, they also understand the importance of sourcing and manufacturing locally. An average of sixty percent of Apolis\' product assortment is American-made and crafted within ten miles of the Apolis Los Angeles headquarters. Whether it means partnering with manufacturers in Uganda, Peru, Bangladesh, or around the corner in Los Angeles, the Partons have consistently pursued the goal of empowering people through opportunity.','The Market Bag by Apolis ','','inherit','open','open','','6521-revision','','','2012-05-22 00:43:43','2012-05-22 04:43:43','',6521,'http://cravenmaven.com/2012/05/6521-revision/',0,'revision','',0),(6523,1,'2012-05-23 09:13:20','2012-05-23 13:13:20','<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\"><img src=\"http://www.remain-silent.com/cm/kewlstuff/apolis-market-bag.jpg\" alt=\"apolis\" width=480></span></p>\n\nI am getting geared up for bright, sunny early morning jaunts to the farmer\'s market.

Located in Dublin Ireland, the space features light, unfussy wood tones. Sharply organised open shelving and vibrant green accents. \r\n\r\nThe basic approach makes me intrigued to try their coffee--as the principles of sticking to the basics can foster the ideal cup.

I\'m not going to get on my soapbox and preach to you, I just know that I do it as often as I can, and I rather like it. There is the argument that living closer to the source means that the food is fresher, not to mention that buying local is also good for your local economy helping family farmers stay in business.\r\n\r\nSome may argue that this is just a trend, if so, I reckon it to be a great one. There are hundreds of farmer\'s markets popping up in dense urban landscapes and beyond. The chance to interact with the grower is something these regions were sorely lacking - it\'s an education for the buyer and a source of income for the farmer.

That was until I met Anne\'s cookbook. Tattered and used, it was held together by a sole strand of rubber band; she never lost a page--each one a cherished recipe. The edges had crumbled away with age: victim to heat exposure, cold winter temperatures and the frequent smudgy-touch of ingredient stained fingers. It was from a time when pages were not made to be \'wiped clean\' or put in binders for future use. It was from a time when a book was a \'book\'. Something to spend time with and revel in the stories it\'s ingredients relay to you. Anne\'s cookbook is from the sixties and a result of the efforts of the Sisterhood of the Congregation of Beth El. But it\'s condition, in 2012, was proof of Anne\'s repeated labour of love as she recreated these gastronomic stories for families and friends. I looked at her book and I envisioned those meals-- heard the unison cries of laughter, saw the smartly dressed friends, smelled the olfactive cues and <em>felt</em> the love for both person and plate.\r\n\r\nMy cookbook\'s by comparison are very much in tact. Often wipeable and rarely pawed with ingredient stained hands. If they are, the offending item is wiped clean quite quickly. I have begun to default to my computer or even phone to look up recipes while in the kitchen. To scroll the glowing screen for directions then hastily wipe it clean and put it away. No evidence of my efforts left behind for anyone to see; no tangible proof of my labour of love. But that is going to change. I have a newly founded appreciation.\r\n\r\nI consider Anne\'s cookbook a family heirloom. A treasured possession for both memory and heart. One that should stay with the family for generations. To see it and to touch it is to feel the person who expended themselves over the stove. It is to follow the directions on the page and envision the great grand relative who took the same steps, stirred for the same duration of time, heated at the same temperature and plated in the same fashion. To make these dishes from such a precious cookbook is to walk with those from the past. It is poetic, it is kindred, it is togetherness.','A used cookbook, a labour of love..','','publish','open','open','','a-used-cookbook-a-labour-of-love','','','2012-07-01 01:03:40','2012-07-01 05:03:40','',0,'http://cravenmaven.com/?p=6539',0,'post','',2),(6540,1,'2012-07-01 00:42:16','2012-07-01 04:42:16','<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"border-style: initial; border-color: initial; border-width: 0px;\" src=\"http://distilleryimage9.s3.amazonaws.com/d8852ccab71a11e1abb01231382049c1_7.jpg\" alt=\"anne\'s cookbook\" width=\"470\" height=\"470\" /></p>\n\nI never ever considered the state of one\'s cookbook as evidence of one\'s labor of love.
