Last weekend we had the pleasure of checking out WD-50. Wylie Dufresne's Molecular Gastronomy restaurant in NYC. It was interesting to say the least. We opted for the tasting menu which consisted of 11 courses, some of which were a hit (chocolate beet ice cream) and some of which were a total miss (fois gras). All in all it was an eclectic experience, if you want to spend the evening analyzing strange food combinations and presentation, this is the place for you. Would I recommend the food in itself...maybe not. Above you will find the Poached Egg in Edible Shell, King Oyster Udon Sweetbreads, Lamb loin, Chocolate Beet Ice cream, Chocolate packets with Rice Krispies Treats, and last but not least the beautiful kitchen that we got a tour of after the meal.

Photography - Eric Lafforgue

I recently discovered photographer Eric Lafforgue's work one day when searching for a portrait photographer. He travels all over the world and captures portraits of natives. The ones that particularly stood out to me were the photos of tribal Papua New Guinea. I find it so fascinating to look at the colors and accessories people use to decorate their bodies. Check out his photostream here.

Cool Industrial Design Ideas

Some cool inventions that I found roaming around the internet today... it's always great to see some people actually do something productive when they say "damn, if only there was a way to see how burnt my toast is getting" or "ugh, if only we had a bottle opener and glasses for our bottle of wine"
