Your Daily FoodScope for June 20, 2024

June 20, 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

You may have accumulated so many take-out ketchup packets that they now need their own closet. Using them all is a tall order -- that's a lot of burgers and fries -- and throwing them away is tantamount to wasting food. You can give them second life, though, as ketchup can be used to shine copper, remove skunk odor and restore the color of chlorine-damaged hair.

Taurus

You may have your romantic eye on someone, and the time has come to take action or move on. An anonymous gift is great way to break the ice, but do your research first. Sending a big slice of German chocolate cake could be disastrous if the object of your desire is lactose-intolerant.

Gemini

There isn't anything wrong in getting tight with your money today -- these times are nothing if not uncertain. With a little inventive thought, you can make some of your trusted food items do double duty. That kitchen staple, vinegar, can also be used to clean countertops, polish brass and copper, repel ants and fruit flies, even remove odors from lunchboxes.

Cancer

You need to assert yourself today if you want to grab the brass ring. People may call you aggressive, but you don't have a problem with that. You can thumb your nose at them as you're enjoying that last chocolate babka at the bakery. They may have other adjectives to describe such a rude display, but you don't have a problem with that, either.

Leo

Lead by example today -- if not for your sake, then for the sake of those who love you. If your kids see you wolf down a slice of toast and cup of coffee for breakfast every day, they're liable to do the same. So start getting up just a little bit earlier so you can prepare oatmeal, egg white omelets or yogurt and fruit.

Virgo

You may need a good therapist's help as you wrestle with mental conundrums today. For instance, you just can't eat enough pesto or hummus, mainly because of that hearty pine nut flavor. Yet, pine nuts have been used for centuries as an appetite suppressant. You just can't wrap your head around the ironic duality of that, and professional help may be needed.

Libra

You hope today is like being in a canoe as a gentle current guides you through placid waters. In reality, you probably find yourself rowing frantically upstream in a desperate bid to stay ahead of the oncoming tsunami. Better hope you had some fortifying oatmeal and slices of whole grain toast and organic jam before setting sail -- the service at Davy Jones' Locker sucks.

Scorpio

You may be on a higher mental plane than your friends today, so don't expect to get into many intellectual conversations, unless you consider analyzing the films of David Spade to be intellectual. You could help by treating them to grilled salmon filets and spinach salad for dinner. Hopefully, the brain-stimulating Omega-3's help them to attain your stratospheric mental heights, although that's highly unlikely.

Sagittarius

Investigating the health aspects of your snack choices may reveal many frenemies. Don't lump peanut butter in with them, though. It's loaded with protein, magnesium and Vitamin E and can boost testosterone levels. Best of all, peanut butter contains cholesterol-lowering monounsaturated fat, making it a real power snack when eaten in moderation.

Capricorn

Swimmers should look at ketchup as more than something you slop all over your cheeseburgers, fries and scrambled eggs. It can also be used to restore the natural color to your chlorine-ravaged hair. Simply swoosh a liberal dollop of ketchup into your hair and let stand for twenty minutes. Rinse thoroughly and watch your hair return to its former glory.

Aquarius

Don't overreact if you discover that your finances have suddenly become very tight. You can still enjoy your Japanese lunches simply by learning how to build the perfect bento box. You can stuff it with what ever you like, just don't forget the wasabi and soy sauce. Financially and nutritionally sensible, you can eat healthier while saving money in the process

Pisces

Today's National Lima Bean Day may not fill you with as much excitement as some of the showier food holidays, but totally ignoring it is a major mistake. After enjoying neglected treats like baby lima beans in cream, beef and lima bean casserole or good old succotash, you're eager to make this an annual event.
