Your Daily FoodScope for July 31, 2024

July 31, 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

Using people to your advantage is easy today. They may still be in a weekend mode, and mindlessly receptive to suggestions. You may have just a pang of guilt when you have them running out to find garlic bagels with just the right pesto schmear -- then again, maybe not.

Taurus

This last week of May is American Beer Week, so a Happy Hour celebration may be in order -- but you'd rather partake of a brew from the land of beer instead. Find a German brauhaus as you raise a stein of doppelbock or Berliner Weisse to this most awesome of weeks!

Gemini

Perplexing undercurrents make swimming the corporate tide tough today. You need all your strength for swimming upstream, but perseverance should get you through those rip currents. You earn a hearty dinner afterwards, but make it roast chicken or a hearty meatloaf, anything but fish.

Cancer

You're so excited to learn that today is National Macaroon Day that you may drop everything to go in search of some of these delicious delights. Fortunately, macaroons are all the rage these days, so finding them should be easy, but such a wide array of yummy flavors may present two dilemmas: which to have first and how many to take home with you.

Leo

According to Japanese folklore, a person can turn into a cow if they sleep right after eating -- so if you must snack tonight, make it something light, with complex carbs and protein, an hour before bedtime. A banana with a glass of milk or a slice of toast with a thin spread of peanut butter is just fine. It may only be folklore, but do you really want to take that chance?

Virgo

May is National Strawberry Month, so you had best get the celebration started. There are so many yummy ways to make merry, but you have only one method in mind. When you're dipping big, fat strawberries into a fondue filled with hot melted chocolate, you may just wish every month could be May.

Libra

Sentimentality may shed a pretty glow on a past that wasn't exactly rosy to begin with. Seeing things though rose-colored glasses may only bring you down, so let comfort food pick you up. Ignore the calorie considerations and dig into a fried chicken and biscuit dinner that's as delicious as it was back in the day.

Scorpio

Breakfast in colonial times was much different than it is today. Early settlers drank beer with a porridge that had cooked overnight on an open fire. Ah, the good old days -- they really knew how to live! While you may wish you could be a part of those times, searching on eBay for a time machine may prove futile.

Sagittarius

Give dinner a musical theme today, and go nuts with the garnishes. You could craft a Bob Dylan radish with flared green onion for hair, a pineapple carved in the shape of Jerry Garcia, and of course, a life-sized marzipan Elvis. If that doesn't startle your guests, wait until they see the Jell-o Kurt Cobain.

Capricorn

Today is a good one to sell your challenging new ideas to the corporate bigwigs. You may be surprised at how well received they are, and you may even score an invitation to lunch. Suggest the trendy new bistro in town, the one with the French onion soup and scallop quiche that's to die for.

Aquarius

You just can't seem to do anything right in the kitchen today. The gravy is runny, the potatoes lumpy, and you're not sure what happened to the pot roast -- so you may have to put this day to bed. Just put your head down and ring up Chinese take-out and hope they deliver it to the right address.

Pisces

Coworkers are grateful for your help today as you give freely of your advice and expertise -- but don't lord that over them, and be humble in accepting their thanks. You may think about declining their offer to take you to lunch, unless it's to a steak house, of course, and the meal is on them.
