One of my favorite stories is the one about the hot dog vendor. Maybe it's because I love hot dogs, or maybe it's because it is such an insightful story.

Perhaps you have heard it before. There’s this guy who runs a hot dog stand in the city and he does pretty good with it. Good enough in fact that he can afford to send his son off to college.

A few weeks ago I made an offhand comment in...well, a comment about making these cupcakes as a way to spit in the eye of all my friends with dietary restrictions.  This recipe has animal products, refined sugar, alcohol, gluten...pretty much everything you need to cut people out of dessert time except for nut allergies.  The comment was born out of break-up aggravation and anger, and I figured channeling that through defiant cupcake baking was more productive than lashing out or boring my friends.

Les pigments de Van Gogh, Gauguin ou Monet sont-ils solubles dans une étude colorimétrique ?

Mesurant les principaux tons de couleurs des plus grandes oeuvres d'un panel de peintres du tournant du XXe siècle, cet artiste les restitue sous la forme de diagrammes circulaires qui, réalisés en séries, nous offrent une vision inédite de la palette de nuances de leurs auteurs respectifs !
