roelandt savery's dancing dodos
i don't really know if they danced but i like to think they'd have enlivened the grounds of many of our stately homes had mankind not been so unkind
here's an excellent history of the subject

beware, slimmers ! ... this is an hornazo
baked by santi, the village baker of lagartera in toledo province ... a great man, and a self taught architect, too
eaten, ( probably mostly ), during this past weekend by my cruel friend linda, who must only have photographed it just to make me nostalgic ( i am not jealous, i am not salivating, do you hear me, linda ? )
if i remember rightly, it is a gigantic compartmentalized pasty containing localized fillings of mutton, of chorizo, and a boiled egg

the colour purple ... delightful classical scholarship via metafilter
just click on this link for a short essay on antique perceptions by the late william harris

he seems to have been a delightfully free thinker ... and doodler

in the past i've struggled and failed to paint with purple
here's an image borrowed from some clever young americans who don't have that problem
