YOUR FRIENDS' ACTIVITY

    Astrology.Com Daily FoodScopes -- Monday August 13, 2012




    Aries (March 21 - April 19)
    Fussy eaters try your patience, especially today. If you're dining with a friend who has a tendency to kick up a fuss, remember to breathe deeply and repeat cliches about tolerance to yourself: takes all kinds to make a world, etc., etc.

    Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
    Don't worry about coming up with all-new recipes when faced with a food conundrum. If a friend is gluten-free, skip the usual cakes and make a batch of chocolate chip meringue cookies instead. They're delicious and pretty healthy for a sweet.

    Gemini (May 21 - June 21)
    Don't be one of those folks who watches cooking shows but who rarely cooks (it's a far more common syndrome than you might expect). When in doubt, keep it simple, silly. A good grilled piece of fish and properly steamed vegetables are quite tough to master.

    Cancer (June 22 - July 22)
    Some things are definitely worth doing by hand, especially if it involves cleaning inherited silverware, plates and other cooking items. If you want these special heirlooms to last for another few generations, clean them yourself or take them to experts.

    Leo (July 23 - August 22)
    Don't let your fiery enthusiasm lead you to commit to something you can't finish, whether that's ordering a too-large salad or dinner reservations at a way too expensive restaurant. Remember that you can always say you need time before you decide.

    Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
    It's a good day to drink freshly made juice to help your system deal with the heat. Combine cucumber, parsley, spinach, lemon, green apple and ginger for a beverage that will hydrate and detoxify you (plus, it tastes great).

    Libra (September 23 - October 22)
    You would never stoop to making a cake from a box -- but sometimes there's an exception that proves the rule. Be a little flexible. If you're going camping, take along a pre-packaged mix of something if it makes your life a whole lot easier.

    Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
    When the weather's hot, you really don't want to turn on the stove or oven. Why not experiment with dehydrating foods or eat raw? Find a way to turn what you think of as a disadvantage into an advantage when it comes to how you cook and prepare meals.

    Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
    Find a way to upcycle something before you trash it or put it in the recycling bin. An empty terracotta pot can serve as a DIY filter for drinking water. Old haircutting scissors can still work to trim flowers, vegetables and open bags.

    Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)
    Are you constantly fretting about finding good organic produce or of the mercury levels in fish? If this concern is occupying your mind, do something about it instead of just talking. Donate time and money to eco-causes. Change your habits so you pollute less.

    Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
    Air signs love education, especially when it involves food. Old cookbooks have a lot to offer the modern home cook, whether it's inspiration, an understanding of classical technique, or simply a marvelous look at the way we used to eat.

    Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
    There's nothing like cooking and enjoying a meal with an old friend, especially if it's someone from a particularly momentous period of your life. Why not cook a favorite meal together instead of trying something new? Water signs love that sort of thing!

      Childhood Favorites from the Shine Supper Club

      My after-school snack was a sacred ritual. I sat on the carpet in my parents' bedroom at a low table, the television turned to "I Dream of Jeannie," and ate a peanut butter and honey sandwich cut into neat squares. I wasn't fussy about crusts. I just loved the sticky pairing of creamy peanut butter with syrupy golden sweetness drizzled from a honey bear in diagonals across the soft white bread. Nothing else--save for maybe apples and peanut butter in a pinch--could have made for as sweet an
