YOUR FRIENDS' ACTIVITY

    Astrology.Com Daily FoodScopes -- Thursday October 25, 2012




    Aries (March 21 - April 19)
    Fresh herbs are a great way to flavor food, but your impulsive side means that often you end up with lots of leftover parsley. Never fear -- just put a dry kitchen towel or washcloth in the baggie to absorb excess moisture, and those herbs will last a lot longer.

    Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
    Feeling jaded about mealtime? You're a connoisseur of rich and enticing foods, but you need to go to the opposite end of the spectrum to perk up your diet. Over easy eggs and buttered whole-wheat toast, a crisp apple, and a good slice of cheese are what you need.

    Gemini (May 21 - June 21)
    Variety isn't the spice of life -- contrast is what allows you to taste the spice of life. So add a dollop of good whole Greek yogurt to a bowl of Indian curry, or add just a pinch of sugar to that Szechuan stir-fry to really help the tastes all come together.

    Cancer (June 22 - July 22)
    Go to the next level today. If you already shop regularly at the farmer's market, think about taking the bus or biking instead of driving, if that's reasonable. Already taking your own shopping bags to the grocery store? Find or make reusable bags for produce, too.

    Leo (July 23 - August 22)
    Let time do the work for you when it comes to cooking. Soaking and brining works wonders for both animal and plant proteins, and even vegetables and fruits benefit. Mixing up oats in yogurt and letting them sit overnight makes them soft and edible the next day.

    Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
    All-you-can-eat buffets certainly have their appeal -- but keep in mind that unlimited amounts of food don't really do your health any favors in the end. Eat smart and have a soup or a salad at the start of the meal so you don't overdo it.

    Libra (September 23 - October 22)
    Make choices that sustain your health rather than engaging you in that old two steps forward, three steps back dance. Spur-of-the-moment indulgences leave a sour taste in your mouth. In other words, opt for an apple and some cheese instead of a candy bar.

    Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
    You're used to pushing forward and using your determination to make things happen. Every now and then, it's all about sitting back and receiving what comes your way. Take a book and go to a favorite cafe or restaurant. Enjoy the experience of being waited on.

    Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
    How long has it been since you and your nearest and dearest hung out and did something that was purely for fun? It's time to have a meal that isn't for a special occasion. Cooking together will help strengthen those loving bonds.

    Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)
    So many people are trying to get your attention right now, but you only have eyes for -- dessert! Seriously, if your stomach is making a fuss, but a friend is trying to hang out with you, combine the two situations and make everybody happy.

    Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
    You're already planning the menu for your Halloween party. Instead of the usual chips and dip, why not make plantain chips and moros (spicy Cuban black bean sauce)? It's right in the spirit of the upcoming holiday!

    Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
    The comforts of a cup of hot chocolate or herbal tea are well-known, but a good cup of chicken or vegetable broth, absolutely plain with a dash of sea salt, are worth exploring. That savory, light comfort is exactly what you need today!

      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
