These bones need a good shaking, over a big salad or a nice plate of pasta. Pull out the cork, fill with salt and pepper, and let the shaking begin.
Made out of fired, hollow, unglazed porcelain, they are dead ringer in texture and color for the real thing. (AplusRStore)

When I first read about Dolce & Gabbana’s Gold Restaurant in Milan, I immediately thought of this.
But apparently it’s no joke. It’s D&G’s first attempt at a restaurant.
The ultimate symbol of money and luxury: gold. As a general rule I prefer silver myself, but there’s no denying the impressions of wealth and glamour that gold brings to the picture — whether it’s jewelry, clothing, or restaurant decor?
Yep, Dolce & Gabbana opened a new restaurant in Milan with smooth and shimmering golden accents everywhere. Gold Restaurant serves international Italian food, and has several levels including a downstairs bistro that opens at lunchtime and a more formal upstairs that serves dinner only. According to the website, the golden theme isn’t necessarily intended to represent money and luxury (yeah right), but more importantly gold is “an upbeat, sunny color” that signifies a “taste for beauty and for sensual pleasure.” It is bright and beautiful, I’ll give them that. Now, how’s the food? (Luxist)
The website is much more flashy than the photo above.
Cossimo Cavallaro is an artist; a very unique artist who uses occasionally uses edible objects in his work. For example, he once repainted a New York hotel room in melted mozzarella cheese and he’s covered a bed in processed ham. This time it’s chocolate.
Man cannot live on bread alone, but if he were to consume Cosimo Cavallaro’s newest creation he could live off of Jesus — for approximately eight months. An oddball artist known for his “eclectic” forms of expression, Cavallaro’s latest contribution to culture is a six-foot tall, anatomically-correct milk-chocolate sculpture of Jesus Christ. His confectionary Christ is made with more than 200 pounds of chocolate, containing approximately 480,000 calories. (The artistic endeavor titled, “My Sweet Lord,” can also give you 3,240 percent of the Vitamin A you need each day.) (Esquire)

According to yumsugar, the sculpture goes on display April 1st (no this isn’t a joke) at the Lab gallery in the Roger Smith Hotel in New York.
Mark your calendars. Tuesday, April 17th from noon - 8pm.
Every year since two real guys named Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield celebrated the first anniversary of their ice cream shop by giving away free ice cream as a way to say Thank You to their customers, the tradition has continued. This year, over 350 Ben & Jerry’s shops around the country will celebrate Free Cone Day on April 17th.
