YOUR FRIENDS' ACTIVITY

    Astrology.Com Daily FoodScopes -- Thursday July 5, 2012




    Aries (March 21 - April 19)
    During the summer, it's smart to let your ingredients do the cooking for you. So make a point of getting to a farmer's market and getting the freshest, most succulent fruits and vegetables. Some might need a little light grilling, but most will require nothing at all.

    Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
    Some days, all you want to do is sit around and eat brie and crackers. Totally understandable. Before you do, however, go for a walk. Make it at least twenty minutes (thirty is better). You don't have to go quickly. Then come inside and eat.

    Gemini (May 21 - June 21)
    You can find a creative explanation for just about anything. If you find yourself burning the toast this morning, try to pass it off as Cajun-style. You're so convincing that you just might start a new food trend without meaning to.

    Cancer (June 22 - July 22)
    You want to save a few dollars, but you also want to enjoy yourself when you go to the movies or an outdoor concert. So do a little prep work and bring your own snacks so you don't have to pay the concession stand prices.

    Leo (July 23 - August 22)
    Have a celebratory occasion, but don't have a lot of time to make something? Buy fresh berries at the farmer's market (blueberries or raspberries work great) and drop a few in the bottom of some champagne flutes. Top with the festive beverage of your choice.

    Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
    It's a good idea to have a few no-bake recipes in your back pocket for dinner parties. A chocolate peanut-butter or Key Lime pie are easy to make and only require refrigeration. It's even easier if you use a store-bought graham cracker crust.

    Libra (September 23 - October 22)
    So maybe getting a table at one of Joel Robuchon's restaurants any time soon isn't exactly feasible, but that doesn't mean you can't find small ways to build cheap luxuries into your current budget. Organic, free-range eggs are a good place to start.

    Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
    If you're lucky enough to be able to eat out regularly, take a good look at your plate. Chances are that entree could actually serve two or three people. So put that food to good use. Think about giving it to someone who's not quite so fortunate.

    Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
    Everyone has their particular food likes and dislikes. You can't stand quinoa. Your best friend loathes milk chocolate. But fortunately there are more areas of agreement: both of you love bacon and Earl Grey tea. Emphasize those similarities.

    Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)
    Being able to cook is like being an alchemist. The more skills you have and the more you practice, the more you'll be able to produce miracles at the kitchen table, like turning summer squash and onions into something both nutritious and delicious.

    Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
    As an Air sign, you're always up for a challenge. If you live in the city, take up urban foraging and discover where to get plenty of free and abundant rosemary and fiddlehead ferns. Be respectful and don't overpick anything to the point of extinction.

    Certain areas of food knowledge elude you. What's the difference between braising and sauteing a vegetable? Which cuts of meat are the best for certain types of dishes? Switch up how you learn. If you've been watching videos, try reading an article on the topic instead.

      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
