Your Daily FoodScope for August 01, 2024

August 1, 2024



Do you often find yourself wondering what food to cook, how to cook it, and even that dreaded question—how much of it? It’s a daily struggle for all of us, but need not be with our food horoscope. Satisfaction is only a click away!

Aries

Make sure your workspace is tidy and organized before getting started today. Your first step should be to dispose of all of the empty take-out Chinese food cartons that you've accumulated. That may take most of the morning, and it's lunchtime before you know it -- but make it Italian, Thai or Mexican, anything but Chinese!

Taurus

As the warmth of summer slowly creeps in, it's good to know that it's nearly time for iced tea. There's nothing more refreshing on a warm summer's day, but go for something different when chilling a pot. White sage and wild mint organic tea is different and delicious and could have you feeling like you're sitting in the middle of a nice, cool pine forest.

Gemini

Take a few minutes today to let your thoughts drift. Clearing your mind of its flotsam and jetsam could streamline your thought processes. You may feel hungry afterwards, so replenish with some brain food. A spicy grilled Cajun catfish sandwich should both stimulate your brain and open your sinuses.

Cancer

Collaborating with others today could produce enough new ideas to get you started on a complicated work project, so thank your colleagues by treating them to dinner. Make it another collaborative experience by going Chinese. Load up that lazy Susan with hot and sour soup, chicken lo mein and a dozen egg rolls and go to town!

Leo

The hardest part of achieving nutritional goals is letting go of trusty (yet bad) old habits. Snacking on a pint of ice cream or peanut butter crackers must become a thing of the past. Eating carrot or celery sticks with a thin schmear of hummus or fat-free flavored cream cheese is a healthy habit that should quickly grow on you.

Virgo

Experimenting with things you're not sure of today could have you seeing the world from a new point of view. You could discover a new route to work, find that not all French films are pretentious and learn that turkey burgers taste just as good as those made with beef.

Libra

You may feel a strong intellectual connection with someone you meet today. Invite this person to a low-key dinner of good food and conversation. Midway through the oysters Rockefeller and crab cakes, you may find that the attraction is physical as well.

Scorpio

You watch in pity today as stressed-out coworkers burst into emotional hysterics. Do what you can to help calm them down. Passing out cups of soothing organic Japanese green tea could mellow them out, especially after you organize a group hug and a rousing rendition of 'We Are The World.'

Sagittarius

Taking cooking classes is always a great way to meet new people who share your interests. While your grasp of culinary knowledge is impressive, classes open you to new and innovative culinary ideas. You just might meet someone who can tell you things to do with monkfish that are positively sinful.

Capricorn

Don't get upset if a planned dinner date for tonight cancels at the last minute. This is prime time to make lemonade out of those lemons. You've made enough paella and shrimp fritters for a group of people, so invite friends over and share your bounty with people who can really appreciate it.

Aquarius

Your body language alone should tell your family that you're not one to be trifled with as you start your day. Your mood might lighten when they urge you to sit down so they can make you breakfast. Buttermilk blueberry pancakes, sausage links and coffee works every time.

Pisces

You often dream of a future where all the foods you eat are free of preservatives and additives, and everything is absolutely fresh. The future is now at your local farmer's market. Not only can you put together a wonderful meal with seasonal organic veggies and range-free chicken, but you're helping local growers.
