YOUR FRIENDS' ACTIVITY

    Astrology.com Daily FoodScopes - Thursday August 28, 2008

    Aries (March 21 - April 19)
    Want to turn up the heat with your sweetie, without succumbing to the hype around oysters and champagne? Check out pineapples! This fruit is said to enhance virility, and sure is a lot sweeter than the slimy shellfish. Pineapple sorbet on a hot summer night? Sweet!

    Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
    Arrogantly demanding others fall in line with your desires and whims may not go over so well today. Use a little sugar to get your way. Bribing the team with homemade lemon squares and cookie bars may seem shady, but it's what's called for.

    Gemini (May 21 - June 21)
    Keep your strong opinions tempered by tact today. This means that you may not want to bring in a bacon double cheeseburger into an office full of vegetarians. Or protest your partner's ordering of a carnitas just because you got the veggie burrito.

    Cancer (June 22 - July 22)
    Want to indulge that over-the-top desire of yours today? Go into that restaurant with the big-name chef tonight, and order an appetizer and a drink. No need to get the full five-course tasting menu, but a taste of the goods might just satiate you for now.

    Leo (July 23 - August 22)
    It might be impossible for you to back down today, especially because you're in the right this time. But is there a better approach than steamrolling? Arguing with the barista about whether or not that's really extra-foam will get you nowhere. Pick your battles.

    Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
    Overactive ego alert! You may alienate people by puffing out your chest and preening for attention. Keep meals low fuss too. No one needs to know how many types of mushrooms went into the risotto. Skip the risotto altogether and serve a simpler pasta salad.

    Libra (September 23 - October 22)
    Get together with a group of your most energetic friends for a pre- or post-work running session. Then, quench your thirst with a pitcher of frosty beer (or work-night safe lemonade) and swap early-week work woes over a platter of mini-sliders.

    Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
    Watch that much maligned ego of yours when you're confronted by your boss today. Admit that they are in their position for a reason. Then take control of your own destiny by cooking up a little shabu shabu. Only you can decide how much meat, fish and veg you sizzle up!

    Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
    Bring some of the exotic flavors of yesterday into your own home. A curry is a simple mix of coconut milk, curry powder, chilies and seasoning sauce. Jerk is just a combination of allspice, thyme and meat of your choosing. It's easy to make your home a fragrant, otherworldly place with the right blend of herbs and spices!

    Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)
    It's possible that someone you never considered a threat may usurp your authority today. Avoid the urge to scarf as much tobacco-laden sausage as you can before shouting your displeasure. Or invest in some mints.

    Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
    Has your firm ideology about something cause alienation at home or work? Shake up their perceptions of you today by doing something unexpected. Bring in your latest cooking experiment ('Vegan cookies, anyone?') and share the wealth. You may even get some feedback!

    Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
    Today, someone else's drama at work threatens to turn the boss against you. Get as far from the situation as you can. Later, decompress with a cool glass of iced tea and a platter of cheeses (mmm triple cream!) and a crusty baguette.

      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.
