Your Daily FoodScope for August 26, 2024

August 26, 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

Eating noodles is a tradition in Japan. You're good with that, but you'll need more to eat than noodles. So salute the Land of the Rising Sun by serving California roll, sashimi and teriyaki chicken as well. And no one will complain if you bust out a bottle of sake.

Taurus

Today, think legumes. Huh? In the American South, eating black-eyed peas is the embellishment of good luck and prosperity for the coming year. Cook with pork, rice, onions and seasoning for a fantastic dish called Hoppin' John, and you'll really get your party, ahem, hoppin'!

Gemini

Be sure to eat plenty of cornbread tonight. In the American South, eating cornbread can bring wealth in the coming year. Isn't it worth a try? It's cheap and easy to make, so stay in line with the Southern tradition and toss some corn, cheese and jalapenos into the mix.

Cancer

Are you hosting a cocktail party soon? Make sure grapes are on the menu. But you'll need to serve more than grapes at your party, so offer 12 bottles of high quality cabernet, chardonnay, shiraz or pinot noir. But hold off on the merlot or there may be a mass exodus for the door.

Leo

Before heading out today, blend yourself a smoothie made with milk, blueberries, banana and a dash of peppermint. You may not need this classic tummy ache remedy now, but come tomorrow morning you'll be glad you made the extra effort.

Virgo

Few things are better than good times with family and friends, so impress them by serving out-of-the-ordinary appetizers. Bruschetta with shallots, whiskey crab soup and tapenade with pita squares will wow them. But don't forget the jalapeno poppers, because it's just not a party without them!

Libra

You may be exhausted after a long day, so it'll be okay to spend the evening alone in quiet reflection. Prepare yourself a meatloaf and masher dinner and watch a good movie, show, or game on TV, if you can stay awake that late, that is.

Scorpio

A wealth of food can bring real wealth. So make sure your table is well stocked tonight. Crab casserole, scallops wrapped in bacon and sausage stuffed mushrooms may not be delicacies in all areas of the world, but it'll be the thought that counts.

Sagittarius

Australia has the pleasure of being the first country to experience anything date-specific, so give your next party a taste of Down Under. Your guests will love homemade meat and kidney pies, barramundi fish and chips, lamingtons and bacon-wrapped shrimp that are grilled -- where else -- on the barby!

Capricorn

You may see someone you don't know who strikes your romantic fancy today. But don't build up your confidence by slamming down glasses of champagne. This person won't be impressed at all when you slur your words or spill sweet-and-sour meatballs down the front of their brand-new outfit.

Aquarius

Take a few minutes today to ponder the past year. You'll see you have, indeed, a wonderful life. You may even get a little misty eyed as you count your blessings. But don't reflect forever -- people will think you're sad.

Pisces

What's a culinary delicacy you've always wanted to try? Caviar?? This playful little delicacy can be served alone, folded in with deviled eggs or sprinkled on top of raw oysters. Whatever way you choose, whoever you share with will appreciate that you went out of your way to treat them like royalty.
