Hi everybody!

Keeping today's update short and sweet — currently I'm in Amsterdam for my sister's wedding and the days have been busy, busy, busy.

Have a great weekend!

This Week's Menu

(yeah, living the raw deal — three course meal!)

STARTER

GAY MARRIAGE IS NOW LEGAL IN THE UNITED STATES. Finally!!! 
...  this is how we do it ...

• The food stylist for the TV series Hannibal (about a cannibal... er, gourmande?) talks about styling dishes to resemble human meat.
• The always brilliant and amazing Alice Medrich schools you on how to adapt any recipe to any pan size that you want. 
• I always wondered why my tofu was never as good as what I could get at a Chinese restaurant; turns out I've been doing it all wrong.

...  questions of science, science and progress ... 

• This girl's skinny jeans landed her in the hospital for four days! Yikes.
• Astronauts don't eat astronaut ice cream... but they do eat just about everything else.

...  who run da world?! GIRLS ... 

• "Three things happen when [women] are in the lab; you fall in love with them, they fall in love with you, and when you criticize them they cry." — Tim Hunt, Nobel Prize-winning biochemist and last week's biggest jerk. But thankfully, these lady scientists aren't letting him get them down. Who's crying now, Tim?

...  i guess every superhero need his theme music ... 

• Shit Food Blogger now has his own official food column!!!

...  dear sir or madam, will you read my book ...

• Both Alanna and Sarah have wonderful blog posts this week describing the shadowy, mysterious behind-the-scenes process of writing a cookbook. We need more posts like these!

...  now we got problems and i don't think we can solve them ... 

• I'm sure that you all heard about the Taylor Swift/Apple/photography hypocrisy controversy by now — however, what I find more interesting is the resulting conversation as to whether photography is a valid art that deserves payment. The comments section of that article is pretty grim.

Have a good weekend, folks! Don't forget to comment with any links, gifs, or recipes I might have missed!
