YOUR FRIENDS' ACTIVITY

    Astrology.Com Daily FoodScopes -- Tuesday August 21, 2012




    Aries (March 21 - April 19)
    Suggest a new food adventure to your pals. There's a new Mongolian barbecue you've been wanting to try, or you're curious about what it would take to raise chickens and create your own source of free-range and organic eggs.

    Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
    One person's feta cheese is another person's stinky mess. There's just no accounting for tastes when it comes to personal food preferences. That's one thing to keep in mind when you're planning guest lists for your next dinner party.

    Gemini (May 21 - June 21)
    Complete harmony within a household around mealtime isn't always possible. Some days you'll sit down together and enjoy a whole meal; other days, a few of you will be on the go while the rest of you eat standing up at the counter.

    Cancer (June 22 - July 22)
    The right spices make all the difference. If you have a loved one who loves chorizo and eggs, try finding a good soyrizo substitute. This hot and spicy faux sausage will fool practically everyone -- and it works for breakfast or in lunch and dinner dishes, too.

    Leo (July 23 - August 22)
    You tend to have very strong opinions, especially when it comes to food. If you know where the best handmade Greek yogurt can be had or have serious thoughts about the slow food movement, express them today. Sharing knowledge inspires you.

    Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
    A good garnish can make all the difference. Decorate your roasted green beans with black and white sesame seeds or chiffonade some mint and sprinkle it atop a dish of tricolor chiogga beets. The combination of flavors will be greater than the sum of its parts.

    Libra (September 23 - October 22)
    It might be a lucky day for you, especially when it comes to refurbishing the kitchen. Make a point of exploring a new neighborhood and you might come across a new culinary friend or a yard sale where you find a set of perfectly seasoned cast iron skillets.

    Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
    You understand that quality almost always trumps quantity. You're the type of person who would rather buy a tiny bar of Valrhona or Galler chocolate than its drugstore equivalent. Your educated palate is really paying off these days.

    Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
    Fire signs like to innovate -- or to discover old ideas that are innovative to modern palates. Barley works in a stew, but it also makes a great whole grain for breakfast. Meanwhile, oatmeal works very well in a savory soup.

    Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)
    Practice the art of conversation today at all your meals. Even if you don't feel like talking, you can ask a polite question or two of your dining companions. Who know -- after your initial attempts, you may end up enjoying it!

    Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
    Air signs often see challenges where other people only see problems. So if you have a friend who's lactose intolerant but loves custard, you may just invent a soy or almond milk substitute (with the aid of a few kitchen tricks) that will give them a fix.

    Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
    An old food prejudice might be holding you back. Sea urchin, Stilton cheese, British food -- whatever you think is completely unacceptable to your palate actually has a lot to offer. Set aside your baggage and try it, at least once.

      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
