YOUR FRIENDS' ACTIVITY

    Astrology.Com Daily FoodScopes -- Wednesday April 18, 2012




    Aries (March 21 - April 19)

    Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
    Give your nerves a break on a regular basis. Try a cup of half-caf, or switch to oolong or green tea. Steeping herbs like rosemary and peppermint will provide your energy with a lift minus the caffeine.

    Gemini (May 21 - June 21)
    There's something to be said for the custom of dressing for dinner. You don't need to adopt formal wear, but making the effort of wearing something nice for a dinner out (or even for a once a week meal at home) really elevates the tone of the proceedings.

    Leo (July 23 - August 22)
    In a rush? That doesn't mean you have to eat fast food if you're on the road. Head into a grocery store and stock up on nuts, fruit, hard-boiled eggs and single-serving packages of string cheese for healthy snacks.

    So you've decided to eat less salt, go wheat-free or cut back or eliminate dairy and meat. Rather than thinking that you're deprived, consider this a guideline that will actually help unleash your cooking creativity.

    Libra (September 23 - October 22)
    Why cry over spilt milk -- or salad dressing? If a few ingredients in your refrigerator aren't at their peak, don't try and resuscitate them. Get rid of them, resolve to adjust your buying habits so less food spoils and make do with what you have.

    Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
    It's amazing how polarized folks can get over food. Some people see biscotti as one of life's ultimate pleasures; others see them as dry, stale cookies. Just remind yourself that they're only opinions.

    Explore different ways of cooking with a tried-and-true favorite. You can cook 'fried' chicken in a pan and an oven, not just a deep fryer. You can also coat it with panko (Japanese bread crumbs) and cook it like schnitzel.
