Your Daily FoodScope for July 18, 2024

July 18, 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

Embrace natural alternatives to help alleviate the stress of the day. A vigorous workout at lunch or after work is one good way of blowing off steam, but sitting quietly and thinking happy thoughts with a cup of green or chamomile tea is an even better way of doing the same without getting all sweaty.

Taurus

Don't get pompous and lecture people about their questionable eating habits today. Like a bogus prophet on a soapbox, they just tune you out. Make your point by doing instead. They just might pick up what you're throwing down when they see how well a steady diet of grilled chicken sandwiches, salads, fruit, and yogurt has worked for you.

Gemini

Being in the company of like-minded friends today means no one should disagree or rock the boat. There isn't much resistance when you suggest somewhere healthy and macrobiotic for lunch, like a vegetarian restaurant. Your friends agree en masse that stir-fried tofu with sugar snap peas and mushrooms is amazing!

Cancer

You deserve to treat yourself to something special today! Many things may pique your interest, but you want something substantial. Buy yourself a few T-bone steaks that are just primed for grilling and slap 'em on the barby. Toss in a few Idaho spuds and sour cream and you're living large!

Leo

Be prepared to tackle a few conflicts today. Fortunately, there aren't that many, and they may be no deeper than deciding on whether to dine at Thai or Italian for dinner. Hmmm -- green curry stir-fried chicken versus tortellini pasticcio? You can't go wrong with whatever you decide!

Virgo

Beware of overbearing people trying to put you under their oppressive thumbs today. Whether at home or work, they turn the screws. It could be best to have an Italian meal for lunch, perhaps fettuccine alfredo or pasta primavera. The rush of carbs and cream sauce may make you drowsy, and the problems of this crappy day can slowly drift away.

Libra

Friends looking to you for answers to life's problems have obviously never taken a close look at your life. Nevertheless, take them to an authentic Szechuan restaurant where stir-fried chicken in a spicy garlic/hot pepper sauce can reveal enlightenment. They're thinking a lot more clearly after all that heat hits their brains.

Scorpio

The boss rules the office today with all of the charm of Godzilla laying waste to Tokyo. Keeping on your toes isn't hard for someone as hard working and diligent as you, but be sure to take a break for lunch. Sushi should put you in the proper state of mind, and prepare you for the afternoon's onslaught.

Sagittarius

Don't let tight finances put the kibosh on your sense of wanderlust today. Dining on ethnic cuisines may be all you need, and a simple falafel or piroshki could take you back to the sun-kissed slopes of Greece.

Capricorn

Your workday is tough, but life at home may be even tougher as family squabbles take center stage. Still, you can bring about solutions by secluding yourself in the kitchen and emerging with fried chicken, biscuits and creamed corn. If that doesn't make for a delicious peace settlement, nothing can.

Aquarius

Think of a turkey sandwich as a metaphor for your life that may currently be bland, dull and tedious. Switch from American cheese to Swiss, white bread to whole wheat and mayo to garlic aioli and you can transform the excruciatingly dull into the excitingly average.

Pisces

Don't expect people to bite when you try to force-feed your diet on them today. Unfortunately, they may not be as passionate about what they put in their bodies as you are, so enjoy your garlic and tofu spinach stir-fry today, and try not to gag as you watch them stuff cheeseburgers down their throats.
