Your Daily FoodScope for July 02, 2024

July 2, 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

Don't be intimidated by the unknown today, especially when it comes to cooking. Certain menus may seem complicated, but patience, perseverance and confidence in yourself should spell success. Then you might wonder why you didn't tackle Japanese gyoza pot stickers sooner.

Taurus

Being sick of the same-old-same-old may have you wanting to experience something new tonight. Dinner at a Greek restaurant is an excellent variation from the usual cuisines. Try the kleftiko lamb, slow baked to perfection so the meat falls off the bone. No wonder they call it the food of the gods!

Gemini

You aren't clear on why you have to spend your day running errands, but a higher authority has the final say. It's okay to grumble about it as you take care of business. You aren't complaining once you get home and you find that your partner has made your favorite seared ahi steaks with a light ginger/lime sauce as a reward for your hard work.

Cancer

Perhaps you went a little overboard when dining out with friends last night; can you really have enough tapas? But don't beat yourself up, as dining with friends is one of life's great pleasures. Balance things out today with a healthy dinner. Stir-fried chicken breast with bok choi should help you forget about the deep-fried calamari.

Leo

Don't let arrogance talk you into taking foolish risks today. You could find yourself stripped bare, and that's not a good look for you. You should be glad you avoided temptation, so reward yourself for your patience. Having raw sashimi for dinner should be as risky as things get today.

Virgo

You may discover a cache of cash you hid long ago and then forgot about. Save some of this unexpected windfall, but use the rest for mad money. Buy yourself something pretty or spend a restful day at the spa. Make sure to leave enough for a four-course dinner with a twist. A traditional Chinese roast Peking duck dinner could be insane!

Libra

Living in the past keeps you from enjoying the present. It's okay to fondly remember people and things from times of yore, but don't get stuck there. Let an old-fashioned meat loaf and mashers dinner take you briefly back to days gone by, and then think about what you're going to do tomorrow.

Scorpio

You need to be as succinct as possible today. This necessitates keeping your eating short and simple. No-frills lunches like chicken or tuna in pita pockets, quick snacks like nuts or trail mix and a dinner salad all do the trick. You should be too busy today to fuss over anything complicated.

Sagittarius

You have very little cash to play with after paying your monthly bills. Making homemade Bento boxes for the week's lunches is a great way to save money and to use leftovers that might otherwise go to waste. Hot dogs in a Bento box may not be authentically Japanese, but they come close enough.

Capricorn

Getting started today is a slow process, yet you still feel like you never really woke up. Maybe there's not enough iron in your diet. It's not hard to get; one glass of orange juice is all you need. It's abundant in lean meats, fish and poultry as well. Guys should be taking in 8 mg a day while the gals should aim for 18 mg.

Aquarius

Like a finely honed editor, you strip things down to the basics today, enabling you to see things for what they truly are. You should simplify your dinner as well. Grilled chicken breasts, brown rice and steamed arugula may sound boring, but they are actually the essence of a balanced diet.

Pisces

Don't be impressed with high-falutin' friends today. All that altitude has their brains a little fuzzy. Stay true to yourself today, and don't feel compelled to get on the A-List. While they're all off at an overrated new four-star place, you're happily savoring okonomiyaki at an obscure neighborhood Japanese restaurant.
