{what the world needs now is veuve, sweet veuve}

A dozen delicious links to things that caught my ever-shortening attention this past week:

1. Food blogging is the wrong business. Fashion blogger Chiara Ferragni makes $8 million a year {women's wear daily}
2. But food is the right business if you're not a foodie: good, inspiring read about how a "not a foodie" Founder and CEO started the foodiest email newsletter in your inbox, Tasting Table {fast company}
3. You can fake foodie, but not food styling {fastcodesign}
4. Burger King Japan has an all-black cheeseburger {kotaku}
5. First the nuclear fish and now the rice? Sushi rice in LA restaurants might have been tainted. Ooooo. K. {CBS Los Angeles}
6. Love this VERY interesting perspective on GMO food (genetically modified organisms) {smithsonian}
7. We already know probiotics are essential for good (gut) health, but here's a little reminder on what and how from Dr Frank Lippman, including a thought on whether yogurt is a good probiotic {epicurious}
8. Cooking hack: literally, "hack" your ingredients directly in the bowl with a pizza wheel to make a chopped salad all at once {serious eats}
9. Five week vacation in Southeast Asia, chronicled on Facebook with photos and updates? Or a girl doing it all from her little apartment kitchen with photoshop? {elite daily}
10. If Disney princesses we real, their real-life dating/relationship lives would be... shameful. In a hilarious way. {buzzfeed video}
11. I have never and will not ever like going to food fairs, festivals, and similarly F-worded events that leave me with "the queasy guilt that I have not enjoyed with the appropriate reverence a luxury so many others cannot fathom." {slate}
12. But a Champagne-soaked pony show? I'm in. Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic takes place next month (October) on the polo fields at Will Rogers State Park. Tickets are on sale now. {VC Polo classic}
