Angélina
226, rue de Rivoli

GET THIS.

“As soon as it opened its graceful doors to Rue de Rivoli over a century ago, Angelina became the meeting-place for Parisian aristocracy. Proust, Coco Chanel and the major French fashion designers all crossed each others’ paths here. Today, most people stop at Angelina after a visit to the Louvre – usually for a hot chocolate: it’s de rigueur. Served in a pitcher with tiny cups and a coupe of chantilly on the side, nothing comes even close to it. Just as famous are Angelina’s decadent Mont Blanc cakes. And it’s equally good for an elegant breakfast, or a lunch of rich quiches and light salads” (would love to site this.. but i forgot where this is from)

The part of our upcoming menu that is dedicated to all things “cocoa”, where classic and new additions will be featured..One in particular is called.. The Experimental Pudding.. because it “just happened” one night in less that 6 minutes.. honestly.. with a little tweaking, its finally ready. a very rich chocolate concoction of many sinful things.. that will surely put a big smile on your faces.

It will be available in one size only and comes in a Pyrex glass dish for 14KD, if you were to return the Pyrex dish for a second order we will deduct 1.5KD off your next order. 

The Experimental Pudding is a by order only dessert and you will have to give us 24hours notice.

Other additions to the wonderful selection are tarts, slices, and 2 new cakes…oh what fun it is to have a face full of cocoa!

I STOLE THIS ARTICLE 🙂

but wasnt in the mood to put it in my own words..

Artist Peter Root makes diorama cities and landscapes using common materials such as staples, soap and stacks of die-cut metals. “My work fluctuates between highly repetitive mantra-like procedures and simple experimentation of techniques. The outcome of the work is frequently controlled by the initial shapes and forms of the units repeated.” I’ve been blogging about artists who create art using common materials lately, I don’t know what it is that I’m drawn to, the juxtaposition, the beauty in simplicity that flies in the face of art education. Art is what’s beautiful and thought provoking to the viewer. So this is art – even if it’s made from stacks of staples. We visited Dia:Beacon a few weeks ago. There are large scale works on display such as piles of glass, dirt and rocks, art made from a single piece of string, piles of felt. I wasn’t drawn to those pieces as much as this work. I appreciate the OCD nature and transformative aspect of common materials. A pile of dirt is a pile of dirt, regardless of how it’s described. But a pile of staples, photographed in just the right way, is a futuristic city, and that’s pretty cool.
