Aries (March 21 - April 19) A hidden need for something different and exciting might make you act crankier than you actually are. You crave glamour, romance, excitement! If your budget doesn't allow for jet-setting, how about a good alternative, like a meal at a Moroccan restaurant?
Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Time is your greatest ally, whether you're waiting for bread to rise or kombucha to brew. You might even want to try a few foods that you once thought you disliked and see if your stance on them has changed.
Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Lately you've been making an effort to bring lunch, but you might find that you're still using disposable silverware and plates. Be kind to the environment and get a good set of bamboo flatware and plates. You can reuse them, but not be heartbroken if they break.
Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Who says dessert has to be a concoction featuring whipped cream and frosting? A slice of cinnamon raisin toast spread with natural peanut butter and topped with organic banana slices is tasty, healthy and a lot easier to assemble.
Leo (July 23 - August 22) There's nothing so comforting as cooking with someone whose rhythms you understand. That's why eating together is such a joy and a pleasure. Even when your schedules are busy, it's important to take time to prepare meals and eat together.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Sure, carving radishes into roses is time-consuming, but you like the elegant touch it adds to your dinner table. Don't let someone else's ideas about how and what to eat interfere with your process. Stick to your guns.
Libra (September 23 - October 22) Never sneer at a tuna casserole. Not only is it economical, but when made with whole-grain noodles and a minimum of cheese and butter, it can actually be pretty healthy for you, too. Add a few fancy touches, like Pecorino or garlic bread crumbs.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) A seemingly simple recipe turns out to have a whole mess of ingredients. Frankly, you're not sure you're prepared to take this on. This mini-education might throw a wrench into your meal plans, but that's why the culinary gods invented take-out!
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Before you run out and buy another mandoline or serving fork, call around. Your uncle may have borrowed it the last time he hosted a holiday dinner at his place. Whew! It's nice when a little legwork saves you some trouble.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Your good spirits call for some equally cheery beverages and enticing foods. How about a rich glass of beer and spaetzle? If you're in a lighter mood, you can go with a glass of mulled wine and some roast chicken.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) There's some unexpressed culinary talent in your soul that needs to come out. Maybe you want to learn to flambe until your pans are charred. Maybe that cake-decorating fiend inside you just needs to come out, already!
Pisces (February 19 - March 20) You know that our oceans are dangerously close to being overfished. So while it's good to eat lighter on the food chain, it's even better to have a few days during the week where you consume little to no animal products at all.
Former New York Yankees left-hander Fritz Peterson died at the age of 82. He is probably best known exchanging wives with teammate Mike Kekich in the 1970s.
