YOUR FRIENDS' ACTIVITY

    Astrology.Com Daily FoodScopes -- Tuesday August 7, 2012




    Aries (March 21 - April 19)
    You get inspired to make a healthy version of a favorite appetizer. The world would very much welcome a jalapeno popper that's not loaded with oil and sodium. Don't be afraid to think way, way, way outside the box -- or leave it behind entirely.

    Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
    Generally, you tend to understand the rules, but every now and then, it's time to disobey them. Red wine with meats, white with fish -- mix it up. Try a rose with a hearty salmon steak. Why not set out dry vermouth to go with the buttery richness of chicken?

    Gemini (May 21 - June 21)
    Learning how to create and stick to a budget might help more than your fiscal health. Food is often one of the biggest expenses in a household. Trimming down grocery costs might mean eating more beans, lean protein, fresh fruits and vegetables.

    Cancer (June 22 - July 22)
    It's hard to find the time to do a top-to-bottom cleanout of your kitchen on a regular basis. Try following the five-minute rule instead. When you have a few spare moments, organize a drawer, clean out a cupboard or wipe the refrigerator shelves.

    Leo (July 23 - August 22)
    Do yourself a favor and organize your take-out menus. Chances are many are out of date or from restaurants you don't patronize anymore. And don't forget that they're recyclable. Clip the remainders somewhere easily accessible.

    Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
    Dig through your freezer and you just might find a sweet surprise -- perhaps a whole-wheat chocolate chip muffin or a frozen persimmon leftover from the winter. Nibble on that while you plan menus or leaf through a magazine. You need a mini break today!

    Libra (September 23 - October 22)
    You love dishes that start with a classic premise and then putting a twist on them. Perhaps today you replace the steak in steak au poivre with tofu or chicken breast. Write down the steps and the ingredients you use -- this might be a keeper.

    Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
    Explore your cultural heritage through food. Did you know that there's a delicious type of Latvian sourdough very few bakers know how to create? Ask your family if they know of any special dishes or holidays to celebrate.

    Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
    In art, as in life, sometimes originality is not the point. Sure, you could make strawberry salsa, or you could follow your best friend's sure-fire basic pico de gallo recipe. Today, do something really well as opposed to doing something new.

    Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)
    Earth signs really hate waste, and sending good salad greens to the compost heap week after week is a real bummer. So try a new method: after prepping and cleaning the greens, shake off excess water and wrap them in a bath towel and secure the ends.

    Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
    Some might call it rabbit food, but you love a good kale salad, especially when the kale has been properly marinated and served alongside some freshly shelled walnuts and mouthwatering slices of avocado. You know where it's at.

    Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
    Just because a certain cookbook or eating regimen is a megajumbo bestseller doesn't mean it's good for you, but you can't help but be intrigued by all the hype. Borrow a copy from the library or a friend -- that way you can take it for a test drive first.

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.
