[scifinoir2] Re: Barnes and Noble bites the dust

[angelababycat]

Just FYI, both of those libraries are directly across the street from public 
housing projects.  (There's still a lot of inbalance here--particularly with 
our schools--but if you haven't been to DC recently, you wouldn't recognize 
much.)

[scifinoir2] EXPENSIVE FOODS [9 Attachments]

To: brownsugars_bodacious_b...@yahoogroups.com








White Truffle

[image: The World's Most Expensive Foods]

Not surprising, the white truffle is the world's most expensive mushroom.
Found in the Piedmont region of Northern Italy, the white truffle's price is
due to it's relative rarity. These truffles are generally sold for anywhere
between $1,350 and $2,700 per kilogram. The record price paid for this
delicacy, however, was $330,000 for 1.5 kilograms worth.

Essen Platinum Club Sandwich

[image: The World's Most Expensive Foods]

The world's most expensive sandwich is the Essen Platinum Club Sandwich. It
is a triple-decker sandwich, containing the finest grade chicken, ham,
hard-boiled quails' eggs and white truffles. This sandwich contains almost
2,000 calories and is the world's most expensive, selling for a hefty price
of almost $200.

Steak and Mushroom Pie

[image: The World's Most Expensive Foods]

Based on the traditional steak and mushroom pie that is so popular in
England, this dish contains $1,000 worth of Wagyu beef, $3,330 worth of
Matsutake mushrooms, two bottles of Chateau Mouton Rothschild priced at
$4,200 each, black truffles and edible gold leaf. The whole pie serves 8
people and costs around $15,900. A single slice costs $1,990, but is also
served with a glass of champagne.

Le Parker Meridien Omelet

[image: The World's Most Expensive Foods]

The most expensive omelet in the world is sold at Le Parker Meridien
restaurant in New York City. It contains 10 ounces of Sevruga caviar, six
eggs, and an entire lobster. If you order it in the restaurant, it costs
$1,000. To make it yourself at home, the ingredients will only run you $700.

Serendipity 3 Sundae

[image: The World's Most Expensive Foods]

One of the most expensive desserts in the world is a sundae sold at
Serendipity 3, located on the east side of Manhattan. Listed in the Guinness
Book of World Records as the world's most expensive dessert, it consists of
five scoops of Tahitian vanilla bean ice cream, Madagascar vanilla, 23 karat
edible gold leaf, and the world's most expensive chocolate, the Amedei
Porceleana. To order this rich dessert, it will cost you over $1,000. Kona
Nigari Water

[image: The World's Most Expensive Foods]

The most expensive water in the world is Kona Nigari water. This
desalinated, high-mineral water comes from the deep waters off the coast of
Hawaii and costs $16.75 per ounce. Wray and Nephew White Overproof Rum

[image: The World's Most Expensive Foods]

This rum is the highest-selling because of it's rarity as well as it's high
proof. Bottled in 1940, there are only 4 bottles left in the world, each
priced at around $53,000.

Tieguanyin

[image: The World's Most Expensive Foods]

A rare Chinese green tea, Tieguanyin costs $3,000 per kilo (2 lbs, 3 oz) and
approximately $15 for a single cup.

Kopi Luwak

[image: The World's Most Expensive Foods]

You can't have a discussion of the world's most expensive foods without
mentioning Kopi Luwak. Originating from Sumatra, Kopi Luwak is created from
coffee beans that have passed through the digestive track of the Asian Palm
Civet. The civets eat the coffee berries and the undigested beans pass
through their system. The beans are then collected and brewed. Many people
claim that the coffee has a high level of complex acidity that cannot be
achieved through any other brewing method. With only around 500 pounds of
beans produced every year, the cost for a pound is upwards of $300.

ABC  has made the pilot of No Ordinary Family available for online screening,  
at least for the first 50,000 viewers as announced earlier today via the "No 
Ordinary Family" fan site Twitter acctI've written before that I'm not sure 
how it will do as a series, but I really enjoyed the pilot when I watched it a 
couple of months ago. I'm not sure if the version online is exactly the same as 
the one I saw, but I recommend it if you're looking for some lighthearted 
action fun.
Viewing the pilot requires you to login with your ABC.com ID or Facebook,

quotes). Sorry international readers, but I wouldn't look for it to work

I know the vast majority of the group's membership (i.e. everyone but

that FanExpo 2010 is on next weekend in Toronto.

I run the traditional gaming elements there, and it's always a fun experience.

Re: [scifinoir2] Galactic Supervolcano Erupts From Black Hole

Mr Worf, a physicist in California proved Hawking entirely wrong on that
count. Hawking even fessed up on it publicly. (I know that only from an ep
of "Morgan Freeman's Through the Wormhole".)
