Serendipity 3, New York City — $1,000 Golden Opulence Sundae-

Perhaps the most well known of all these dishes is the $1,000 Golden Opulence Sundae at New York’s Serendipity 3. First created in 2004 for the restaurant’s 50th anniversary, the Golden Opulence involves three scoops of Tahitian vanilla ice cream infused with Madagascar vanilla beans, topped in 23K edible gold leaf, sprinkled with a couple of expensive and rare chocolates? Plus there’s the candied fruits, gold dragets, chocolate truffles and bowl of caviar. It’s sold in a Baccarat Harcourt goblet with an 18K gold spoon, naturally. About 200 of these have been sold in the nine years since it was created. These sundaes require 48 hour advance reservation because the ice cream and caviar are flown in.

Nino’s Bellissima, New York City — $1,000 pizza-

Nino’s Bellissima is home of one of the world’s most oft-cited expensive dishes — a pizza that costs $1,000. As a manager explains , the pizza comes topped with four types of caviar plus some lobster tail for good measure. Order it a few days in advance.

Norma’s, New York City — $1,000 Zillion Dollar Lobster Frittata-

There are two versions of Norma’s frittata for high-rollers: there’s a $100 frittata with only one ounce of caviar on it or the $1,000 frittata topped with 10 ounces of caviar. The latter is officially the world’s most expensive omelette, according to the Guinness Book of Records, and also involves one pound of lobster covered in egg on a bed of fried potatoes. According to a rep, the restaurant at New York’s Le Parker Meridien sells about 10-12 of the $1,000 Zillion Dollar Lobster Frittatas throughout the course of a year — and that same number per month for the $100 dish. There’s no need to order in advance.

Margo’s, Malta —$2,420 White Truffle and gold pizza-

An employee who answered the phone at Margo’s Malta tells us that the pizzeria needs one week advance notice to make its white truffle and gold pizza — only available during truffle season from October through May. As its menu indicates, the truffles are flown in from Piemonte and its minimum price is €1,800 ($2,420), depending on the price of white truffles. The pizza is topped with organic water buffalo mozzarella and 24K gold leaf. As the menu reads, “This is not just a pizza, this is a sign from God telling us how great She is.”

Fleur, Las Vegas — $5,000 FleurBurger-

Part of chef Hubert Keller’s inspiration for the eye-popping $5,000 Fleur Burger 5000 at his Las Vegas restaurant Fleur was borne out of competition: In 2005, Keller noticed Daniel Boulud had a burger that was $100 and wanted to beat it. So this Kobe beef burger comes topped with seared foie gras and truffles on a brioche truffle bun. But what really jacks up the price is a bottle of 1995 Chateau Petrus wine and the two crystal stemware glasses that the restaurant delivers to the home of anyone who orders the burger. So far, a rep tells Eater the restaurant has sold about 26 Fleur Burger 5000s and there is no need to order in advance.

Salvatore at Playboy, London —$8,633 Salvatore’s Legacy-

Salvatore Calabrese broke the Guinness World Record for the world’s most expensive cocktail last year with the creation of his £5,500 ($8,633)Salvatore’s Legacy. It’s also apparently the world’s oldest cocktail, created with rare booze such as 1788 Clos de Griffier Vieux Cognac, 1770 Kummel Liqueur, 1860 Dubb Orange Curacao and early 20th century Angostura Bitters. This cocktail can be found at Salvatore at Playboy, and a spokesperson explains that the cocktail is ordered with Salvatore’s approval. A total of three have been ordered since the cocktail’s inception.

Algonquin Hotel, New York City — $10,000 martini

Give New York City’s Algonquin Hotel three days’ notice and a $10,000 diamond-studded martini will await at the Blue Bar. A spokesperson tells Eater that the bar and hotel works with an in-house jeweler to procure the customizable diamond, which is then placed within the cocktail

XS Nightclub, Las Vegas — $10,000 Ono-

As Eater Vegas reported a few months back, the XS Nightclub at Encore Las Vegas has its own $10,000 drink, the Ono. This cocktail features Charles Heidsieck Champagne Charlie 1981 and Louis XIII de Remy Martin Black Pearl cognac — oh, and it comes with a pair of men’s silver cufflinks and a woman’s 18K white-gold chain with a black pearl pendant. Not too shabby.

The Fortress Resort & Spa, Sri Lanka — $14,500 Fortress Stilt Fisherman Indulgence Dessert

The Fortress Resort & Spa in Sri Lanka offers its high-rollers a dessert that it describes as more of “a challenge for those adventurous as heart.” The Fortress Stilt Fisherman Indulgence is made with gold leaf Italian cassata, flavored with fruit-infused Irish cream. There’s a fruit compote, a Dom Perignon champagne sabayon at the base and a handmade chocolate carving in the shape of a local stilt fisherman. Oh, and it’s adorned with an 80 carat Aquamarine gemstone whose diameter “spans the head of a soup spoon.” The dessert costs $14,500 at DUO restaurant, according to a spokesperson for the resort, and orders must be placed a day in advance.

Lindeth Howe Country House Hotel, England — $35,000 Pudding

Chef Marc Guibert of the Lindeth Howe Country House Hotel in England’s Lake District went after the world’s most expensive dessert title in late 2011 with a chocolate pudding that costs £22,000 ($34,531). Shaped to look like a Faberge egg, the pudding is made with high-end chocolate, gold leaf, champagne, caviar and a diamond. It’s layered with champagne jelly and laced with edible gold. So far, a rep tells Eater Guibert has sold just one egg. The dessert must be ordered two weeks in advance.

Arnaud’s, New Orleans — $3.95 million Strawberries Arnaud

Arnaud’s in New Orleans no longer offers the $1.4 million dessert that gained it notoriety years ago. Nope, now that dessert is worth a staggering $3.95 million. Co-owner Katy Casbarian explains to Eater that the historic New Orleans restaurant partnered years ago with MS Rau antiques on a proposal package that includes their signature Strawberries Arnaud dessert and a diamond ring. While the original 4.71 carat ring is no longer available, it has been replaced with a 7.09 carat pink diamond to accompany the dish of strawberries served in a marinade of port, red wine, spices and citrus with vanilla ice cream. “Needless to say,” she writes, “it is our worst selling dessert.”

Good Morning my dear Friends & Followers and Welcome

to Saturday's TipsFromtheGarden!

I hope that you all have Enjoyed my post every Saturday

on Gardening Tips that I started a couple of months ago?

 At least I know I have had fun bringing you these wonderful and

fun tip for the Garden and lots of these I have used myself!

Well my dears for today I thought I would try to think of some

fun ideas that would be great for the coming spring & that would be Money

Saving idea's for all of you All! Around the world!!!

We all could use money saving idea's for our gardens,

backyards and patio's where ever we live and which ever country 

we happen to live in too! 

So I have a list of ideas that I hope will help ALL OF YOU!

TIPS FROM THE BACKYARD

1-Did you know by planting more flowering trees it will enabled the 

Anna hummingbird to expand their breeding range around your area.

2-Place fruit slices in a suet basket [you can get these at any local bird selling

area products at your stores],the woodpeckers will truly love this special snack

and the basket works great!

3-When using eggs whites, don't throw out the yolks.

Scramble them, cool and put them in your bird feeders for the birds.

It will give them the extra calcium that they need and they will love it.

4-Pecans are another favorite of the birds too. What you need to do, 

is wait until they have lost their fresh taste.

Then put out a handful in a mesh bag and hang them from either a tree limb or

from your patio hook. It won't take long for the birds to find the treat.

5-The Suet cage or basket are perfect for the birds for either food that you

can buy at the local stores, but your own foods in there too, or nesting 

materials in them to help with breeding time. 

6-Another great tip is the Old wheelbarrow. Usually an old and rustic one is the 

best of all! Once you find it, fill it with good potting soil and whatever type of

plants or flowers you would like inside the wheelbarrow. 

The best I would do, is either great colors of ivy because it grows so well

and will grow over the sides and look grand. The other would be very colorful 

flowers that are winter save with lots of color. 

After this find a great focal point in your yard, backyard or

close near your patio so it will look grand in your yard.

7-Containers is the next tip my friends, So how about some different 

and interesting planters for the on coming Spring.

You can use old leather shoes, old leather boots, wagons, wheelbarrow's,

work boots, old lunch box's, old cars, or any thing you could 

find for and interesting planter. Just don't forget to make drainage holes

in your new interesting containers.

8-An Simple Dish Bird Feeder, here's another simple money saving

idea for an bird feeder. Its a very simple and you can also hit the bargain 

stores for great glass plates that can be used for a Bird Feeder. 

All you do is make sure that you can add twine to the glass plate.

It should be at least 4 sides so it doesn't tip over in the weather conditions

or so the birds will be save too. Also add the twine to the tree or bush

that you have decided to hang it too.

9-An turkey baster is another great tool too!

This is great to water plants, it prevents you from overwatering

or flattening your tender new young plants and seedy for the spring.

10-Lastly I found a way to make a feeder with copper tubing,

and use fruit. All birds and the hummingbirds will love you for this one!

To make this buy a 48 inch copper tube wine shape of copper tubing for any

hardware store. Then shape the copper tubing from a small circle and continue

making three circles wider as you go down top to bottom.

At the bottom of the feeder make the circle large enough just for 

an half an orange.

Then continue to bend the copper tubing at the very top

into a design that makes it easy to hang. 

This is where you can use your own creativity. 

 Well I hope that you will find so good idea's for you

own gardens my dear Friends & Followers. I will also 

add a couple of images that I found of interesting containers

that I hope that will inspirit you all too.
