Aries (March 21 - April 19) Go even greener by taking your own muslin bags for fruits and vegetables along with your reusable cloth shopping bags. You can be super-ecologically correct and upcycle old curtains, tablecloths or bed sheets to make them, too.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Never underestimate the lemon and lime. These workhorses add flavor and freshness to everything, from vinaigrettes to sauces to desserts. Even squeezing half a lemon over some tired fruit can instantly bring back the flavor.
Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Tempted to take a bite of someone else's food because it looks so good? Just make sure you ask in advance. You don't want to be the cause of a rash of 'please don't touch my food' notes in your office or house refrigerator, do you?
Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Need a new way to decorate your kitchen table? Instead of the usual flowers as a centerpiece, put fresh bundles of herbs in small glass vases in the middle of the table. Your dining area will smell terrific, and your herbs will stay fresh until you need them.
Leo (July 23 - August 22) Need a good way to beat the summer heat, but don't want to indulge in so much ice cream you can't fit in your bathing suit? Throw fresh fruit, low-fat Greek yogurt and ice cubes into your blender (add honey or maple syrup if necessary) and enjoy.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Today you might stumble across a truly incredible bargain -- a magnum of your favorite champagne on the bottom shelf of a corner liquor store, or some late-season garlic ramps even though the peak growing time has been long over. Snatch it up!
Libra (September 23 - October 22) Today, it's all about color. Serve up a salad featuring cool, creamy green avocado slices, bright pink grapefruit or ruby-red pomegranate seeds. The deep vermillion of borscht is set off well by a dollop of stark white sour cream, green onions and dill.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) You love to play with culinary expectations. Put Thai hot chili sauce on your pizza or tartar sauce on your French fries. A wedge of lemon works well on fried chicken as well as fish of all kinds. What other new taste combinations can you come up with?
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Some might consider a jalapeno cheddar bagel blasphemous, but you think it's a swell idea, especially if it's topped with chive cream cheese. You tend to welcome innovation, especially if it involves treating your tummy well.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Any person worth their salt knows the difference between a galette and a tarte tatin, right? Er, not necessarily. So make sure you don't go around spouting such presumptuous statements today. You don't mean any, but someone might take offense.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) You find yourself having a craving for Indian lime pickle, but your recipe didn't turn out quite the way you expected. That might be because the limes in your area aren't the right type. Improvise and make Indian lemon pickle instead.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Time is on your side, whether you're a dedicated cook or a dedicated eater. Let strawberries macerate slowly in balsamic vinegar and you have a great dessert topping. If you eat too many of them, just know that eventually you will digest and move on.
Our final 2024 mock draft projects four quarterbacks in the first five picks, but the Cardinals at No. 4 might represent the key pivot point of the entire board.
