World’s Most Expensive Omelette?

05/25/12 -- Deliciousness

“A New York hotel has laid claim to the world’s most expensive omelette, which will set you back $1,000. Called the Zillion Dollar Lobster Frittata, it is featured on the menu at Norma’s restaurant in Manhattan’s Le Parker Meridien Hotel. So what differentiates this lavish dish with your average $10 diner-style omelette? It is packed with lobster and caviar. The 10ounces of American Sturgeon caviar piled on top of the omelette ordinarily retails for about $65 an ounce. With $650 worth of caviar sitting atop the expensive omelette, the extra $350 is made up of one whole lobster, eggs, cream and chives, the dish’s main ingredients, and then the hotel’s overheads.” w/ photos

Twin Serpents

05/25/12 -- Pretty Cool

“The Jormungand (Midgard) and Julunggul (Rainbow) serpents sit between two worlds; the old world that needed and revered them and the present which has shunned such monsters as fears metamorphosed into mythical form. Dark and with the power of fire, the serpent Jormungand winds it way through the landscape of Earth. Bright and with the light of the earth, the Julunggul serpent slithers to meet with her dark twin. They both have a function within mythology. The earth was shaped by Julunggul, who later swallowed it and all it contains in a fit of anger; then regurgitated it to restore the earth as it is full of music, art and life. The serpents together bring forth all that is good in this world of music and art.” — jonsarriugarte

Eiffel Eyesore

05/25/12 -- Wacky News

“Critics say it looks like a roller coaster gone badly awry. Fans say it’s a landmark to rival the Eiffel Tower. London got a towering new venue Friday, as authorities announced completion of the Orbit, a 377- foot looped and twisting steel tower beside London’s new Olympic Stadium that will give visitors panoramic views over the city. Some critics have called the ruby-red lattice of tubular steel an eyesore. British tabloids have labeled it ‘the Eye-ful Tower,’ ‘the Godzilla of public art’ and worse. But artist Anish Kapoor and engineer Cecil Balmond, who designed the tower, find it beautiful. Belmond, who described the looping structure as ‘a curve in space,’ said he thought people would be won over by it. ‘St. Paul’s was hated when it was begun,’ he said. ‘Everyone wanted a spire’ — but now the great church’s dome is universally loved. He said if a groundbreaking structure works ‘it starts to do something to you and your concept of beauty changes.” w/ photo

05/25/12 -- Top Lists

“If you want to live big, you have to pay big. Some of the greatest, largest, most exquisite homes in the world are on the market, but before you write out that initial deposit, remember your place in the world.
