Those are probably 2 of the easiest ones to fulfill, especially in America, but I am just trying to help those few out there that need some direction.

So first off we have the KFC Double Down Sandwich…

This is a sandwich being tested at KFC’s in Providence, Rhode Island and Omaha, Nebraska. How can they be so lucky? Why even test a sandwich using 2 breaded boneless chicken breasts as the bun and nice slices of bacon and cheese in between. This would be a goldmine. I am not sure why it is being tested in these 2 areas, but this sounds like a pretty nasty sandwich to try to eat. Wouldn’t you have grease just running down your arms as you held it up?

Anyway, this seems like a good and cheap way to fulfill the gluttony sin so good luck! Maybe KFC should come up with their own turducken since they are getting pretty close with this anyway. Just stuff the pork (bacon) in the chicken and there we have it! If anyone ever tries this or know someone that has please let me know!

On to Greed, but also I guess this item could fulfill Gluttony as well. The Golden Opulence Ice Cream Sundae is $1000 US dollars and is offered by a restaurant called Serendipity3 in New York. This actually broke the Guinness Book of World Records for you guessed it, the most expensive Sundae.

The website where I found out about this sundae is called Dailyolive.com. Here is a description of it from their site:

Made with “5 scoops of the richest Tahitian vanilla bean ice cream infused with Madagascar vanilla and covered in 23K edible gold leaf, the sundae is drizzled with the world’s most expensive chocolate, Amedei Porceleana, and covered with chunks of rare Chuao chocolate, which is from cocoa beans harvested by the Caribbean Sea on Venezuela’s coast. The masterpiece is suffused with exotic candied fruits from Paris, gold dragets, truffles and Marzipan Cherries. It is topped with a tiny glass bowl of Grand Passion Caviar, an exclusive dessert caviar, made of salt-free American Golden caviar, known for its sparkling golden color. It’s sweetened and infused with fresh passion fruit, orange and Armagnac. The sundae is served in a baccarat Harcourt crystal goblet with an 18K gold spoon to partake in the indulgenceserved with a petite mother of pearl spoon and topped with a gilded sugar flower by Ron Ben-Israel.”

So I guess you can knock out both sins with this one, but hey why not do both anyway? Here is a link to the Serendipity3 restaurant, which has that item listed on their menu so it actually does exist. You have to give them 48 hours in advance to get one so you might want to call them today!

This site shows pictures of Dubai’s progression throughout the years in their architecture and technology.

There are also interesting pictures showing what Dubai’s plans are for the future of their architecture. In their record books, Dubai already has the tallest hotels in the world which are considered the only 5 star deluxe hotel in the world as well. They own both of the world’s tallest hotels and the tallest one called the Rose Tower stands at 1,093 feet and the second tallest hotel is Burj al-Arab and it was built on an artificial island right beside a beach standing at 1,053 feet.

The Rose Tower Hotel Standing at 1,093 feet

Burj al-Arab Hotel Standing at 1,053 feet

Here is an image of what Dubai looked like in 1990…

For comparison here is a recent image of Dubai, this site claims it is from 2008…

I was curious to how they can afford all of this expansion so fast and did some research. Initially without doing research I assumed they produced a lot of oil, which they do, but that is not their main source of income. According to Wikipedia almost 23 percent of their income comes from construction and real estate which does not surprise me after seeing the pictures on this site.

There are some very fascinating photos on the website I have been talking about throughout this post so you should at least check it out for those!
