Your Daily FoodScope for June 18, 2024

June 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

Beer can be just the thing to help you come up with inventive and delicious new dinner ideas. Pumpkin and beer soup, veal breast in dark beer, oxtail ragout with beer, beer cornbread -- it's all good. Beer: it's not just for drinking anymore.

Taurus

You awaken early this morning, and march fearlessly into your breakfast mission. This particular project may have defeated you in the past, but this time you're ready. Grits souffle with caramelized onions is your first conquest, quickly followed by cheddar polenta with maple-poached apples and mascarpone. Feel free to bask in the applause.

Gemini

Ah, Sunday -- a day for hanging your brain out to dry! Don't feel guilty about spending the day indulging in mindless entertainment. If you are going to do something, make sure you do it right. It just isn't a Three Stooges marathon without plenty of popcorn and pizza with extra pesto.

Cancer

Your to-do list resembles a tightly held manifesto, and you just might rebel against that kind of tyranny. You might flee, seeking the anonymity of like-minded souls at a jazzy coffee spot. You can run, but you can't hide behind your beret and your espresso macchiato forever. Sooner or later, your partner will find you and drag you back to the rock pile.

Leo

Your brainstorms may be as erratic as the drip-drip-drip of a leaky faucet today. Do something to get your cylinders firing again. You might need a balanced meal of protein, carbs and nutrients, and after a grilled chicken and steamed veggie rice bowl you may even remember where you left your car keys.

Virgo

You awaken today with a deep feeling that it could be a very bad day indeed. Taking positive steps can prevent that from happening. A breakfast of muesli, wheat and almond flakes, peeled apple, mango, passion fruit and skim yogurt mixed together boosts your metabolism to stratospheric heights, leaving you virtually untouchable by the wolves below.

Libra

You meet someone today with whom you have much in common. There's no end to the similarities: a fondness for fried bologna and cheese sandwiches, Japanese wasabi and scrapple. It's be the mutual love for Hawaiian Huli Huli chicken that seals the deal.

Scorpio

Savor the irony of life today. Appreciate the fact that even though pine nuts contain appetite suppressant oils, it's the taste of pine nuts that makes pesto and hummus so darn addicting. Ponder that and other mysteries of life today over -- what else -- a few slices of pesto pizza.

Sagittarius

Today it's important to realize that you are ultimately the master or mistress of your domain, in control of your destiny. With that in mind, it should be easy to dismiss the pizzas, the chocolate cakes and the meatball grinders of this world as needless temptations, affronts to your resolve. Well, maybe not the meatball grinder, but two out of three ain't bad!

Capricorn

Today is good for passing along some of your vast culinary knowledge to the young-'uns! Teaching the kids to cook is family fun for all -- as long as you keep it simple and uncomplicated, like mac and cheese or spaghetti. Face it, they may not be ready to take on lobster tartar and coq-au-vin.

Aquarius

A romance that once burned like the fires of a thousand suns may now be extinguished, a faintly glimmering shell of its former glory. These things happen, but don't beat yourself up over it. There's plenty of fish in the sea, and a dinner of a dozen Littleneck clams and Dungeness crab cakes might help the move future along.

Pisces

Everything has two sides today, and you have to choose the right one. What'll it be: red or white, baked or au gratin, rare or well, vanilla or chocolate, stir-fried or steamed, mild or five alarm? You wish you could have it all, and really, who says you can't (eventually)? Enjoy!
