Macaron Day NYC


In 2010, Francois Payard, chef and owner of Francois Chocolate Bar and Francois Payard Bakery in New York City, organized the first annual Macaron Day in New York City. Macaron Day NYC is inspired by and coincides annually with the Jour du Macaron in Paris. It will take place on Sunday, March 20, 2011.

The world's most expensive dog



A coal baron living in northern China just spent $1.5 million to buy what is considered the world's most expensive dog, a red Tibetan Mastiff.
In any case, the 180-pound 11-month-old red Tibetan Mastiff known as Big Splash, or "Hong Dong" in Mandarin, just earned the title of the world's priciest pooch. The breed can grow to be 285 pounds, and according to the breeder, Big Splash is such a perfect specimen that the eyeball-popping price is justified. It is believed the breed descended from wolves 58,000 years ago.
