YOUR FRIENDS' ACTIVITY

    Astrology.Com Daily FoodScopes -- Friday August 24, 2012




    Aries (March 21 - April 19)
    While you appreciate the artistry, fussy meals really aren't your thing. You prefer food that gets to the point. But if someone went to the trouble of producing an amuse bouche, just grin and bear it for now. Remember your manners and you'll start to enjoy yourself.

    Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
    You are what you eat isn't just a cutesy old saying. Think about it: how can you sustain a heart, body, mind and soul on processed foods filled with additives? Your life goals require a lot from you, so feed yourself nourishing, whole foods that help you grow.

    Gemini (May 21 - June 21)
    You know that there's zero point in feeling guilty about food cravings. If you spend one day eating chocolate bundt cake, you'll make up for it by eating very healthfully for the rest of the week or month. So enjoy your indulgence, then balance it out later.

    Cancer (June 22 - July 22)
    You can be incredibly innovative, especially when it comes to the home arts. Treat vegetables like fruits, fruits like meats and find ways to use beans that will surprise and amuse. Hey, why not try making a chargrilled watermelon 'roast' today?

    Leo (July 23 - August 22)
    Today, make a point of getting to an open-air market or a really well-stocked natural food store. You might find something delightful, like black garlic, the odd fruit called Buddha's hand or Okinawan purple sweet potatoes.

    Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
    You love being able to upcycle an item, and goodness knows you still have plenty of plastic bags around despite using cloth shopping ones. Sliced open and laid flat, that plastic bag can be used to wrap dough for baking or even to loosely cover a dish.

    Libra (September 23 - October 22)
    You love to add a touch of luxury to a practical, everyday food. So invest in a bottle of truffle-infused oil (or buy a truffle itself if you have the funds). Serve up some scrambled eggs decorated with truffles -- your breakfast will never be the same!

    Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
    Music, TV, a phone conversation -- sometimes these are really useful to get through some kitchen chores like prep and clean-up. Just for today, turn off all the noises. Concentrate on the sound of your knife as it slices through carrots, the sizzle of oil in the pan.

    Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
    You can be stubborn, but you might be knocking your head against a wall if you're trying to fix an errant recipe. Are you trying to change the mustard undertone when what you should be doing is taking the mustard out of the recipe altogether?

    Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)
    Even though it's still summer, you're looking ahead to the future -- and thinking about converting that water-wasting lawn into fruit trees and a vegetable patch. Visions of runner beans, summer corn and heirloom tomatoes are dancing in your head.

    Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
    You have a hard time resisting a gadget. Open your kitchen cupboard: is there a milk frother in there, right next to the handheld blender? It's time for a big clean-out. Donate, sell, recycle: just get rid of the dead weight responsibly.

    Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
    Sometimes bad foods happen to good people. Perhaps you're gluten-free and a friend didn't realize that soy sauce has gluten in it. Well, forgiveness comes easily to you. In the future, take the precaution of educating folks before you break bread together.
