This isn’t “news” in the traditional sense of new and interesting to the world, but it’s news to me. Did you know that there are Lego versions of famous paintings? What?! I saw this rendition of Van Gogh’s self-portrait for the first time today and have been pretty excited about it ever since: Thanks, Marco…
Wings and Crostini: Unlikely match made in heaven!
