    Aries (March 21 - April 19)
    One surefire hit is to serve a food within another food (i.e., an edible container). Whip up a salad in a tostada bowl, serve soup in a round loaf of bread and take a tip from the Koreans and put colorful berries and fruit chunks in a hollowed-out melon half.

    Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
    Even the most devoted omnivore knows that eating meat every day isn't the best for personal health or the planet. If you cut down to eating meat only two days a week, you'll be a much more alert and slightly thinner person, all without making a big effort.

    Did you go overboard buying oregano? If you've run out of ways to use it fresh, you can dry it out and save it for later. It also makes a wonderful gift once you've decanted the dried herb into bottles. Or make your own essential oil -- oregano is a powerful antibacterial.
