Your Daily FoodScope for July 29, 2024

July 29, 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

Why, I do declare, it's National Mint Julep Day! This refreshing Southern delight sure goes down easy at the end of a warm late spring day -- but make sure you get all of your tasks around the plantation completed before settin' down on the porch, toasting the sunset with a long, cold mint julep.

Taurus

Plan on packing food if you must travel by air today. Trail mix, energy bars and perhaps a roast beef sandwich on sourdough roll should keep you nourished and fortified. With airline service the way it is these days, it may be the only thing you get to eat between home and Tokyo.

Gemini

May is National Egg Month, and there's just no end to the versatility of this incredibly edible orb. You just might discover today that hard-boiled eggs make for a great on-the-go snack. Throw them in a pita wrap with arugula and cherry tomatoes or just shell them and enjoy them whole. They're like a burst of protein goodness in one neat little package.

Cancer

May is National Salad Month, so plan a celebration as the month draws to a close. Just a bowl of leafy greens and a few veggies may make for something bland that a bird wouldn't find appetizing, so throw in pumpkin seeds, red kidney beans, tofu and wheat fusilli pasta and you've got the makings of a classic.

Leo

You search far and wide for exactly what you want today. Accept no substitutes as you reject fakes and wannabes. It might not be easy to find, but you eventually discover an out-of-the-way restaurant that serves pumpkin waffles with apple cider syrup that's the real deal.

Virgo

Cupid may serve romance on a platter today, but it may not be of the traditional type. Rather, you find yourself making moony eyes at turkey croquettes and garlic mashed potatoes. Pour a lot of thick gravy with giblets over everything and this affair could get positively romantic.

Libra

Pining over lost love does nothing but depress and bring you down today. There's no changing the past, so do something to make your present as comforting as possible. Fried chicken and dumplings might have you feeling better, especially if there's chocolate ice cream for dessert.

Scorpio

People enjoy the pleasure of your company today, so expect many lunch and dinner invites -- but don't take advantage of their generosity. Order salads and light tea sandwiches. Choose the most expensive items on the menu and they might not be as fond of you as they once were.

Sagittarius

Your green is in the red today, and that could make you blue. It's time to put those savings shoes back on as you cook for yourself. It takes patience to learn frugality as you cut corners, but you soon prefer stir-frying beef and veggies at home to a trendy Asian fusion joint, although the wine list isn't quite as good.

Capricorn

It's the things you have to wait for that are most valuable today. Impatience could be a problem as you chomp at the bit, but when the pot roast that's been slow-cooking for eight hours is finally done, and you're pouring thick beef gravy all over garlic mashed potatoes, you're sure to be glad you waited.

Aquarius

Using today to observe May's National Hamburger Month is great if you can stay disciplined. The menu at the local burger joint offers so many options, from mushroom and Swiss cheese, Mexicali with salsa to those swimming in chili. You can't have all of them -- on second thought, maybe you can!

Pisces

You may dream of seeing an angel descend to earth today, but it's not just any old angel. It's the owner at your local Mom and Pop Italian restaurant, delivering a plate of freshly made ravioli stuffed with crab meat. Suddenly, you're in heaven.
