Your Daily FoodScope for August 04, 2023

August 4, 2023



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

If you expect things to go wrong today, you won't be upset when they do. And they will. So keep a stiff upper lip and try to find the humor in a day of chaos. Order a hot bowl of alphabet soup at midday. Those fun little letters will let you spell out the words you'd only say out loud to your therapist.

Taurus

Your emotions may feel raw today, like they've been cut with a jagged edge. Even though your insides may be roiling, you'll need to put on your happy face. You can fully release your moods after work with a hot, cheesy lasagna, half of which you'll eat, the other half you'll throw at the wall.

Gemini

Being concerned about your health shouldn't be a phase; it's actually a lifelong commitment. So look deeply at the inner person today, and what you're putting in you. A sensible, nutritious diet is at the heart of good health, and your mom was right... eat your fruits and veggies! They're good!

Cancer

A sense of adventure could send you in search of new culinary digs today. But you may find a strange and different world out there. They may slather butter all over the toast without asking, or look at you in bewildered befuddlement when you ask if they serve turkey sausage. Stick to your local diner to get what you want, or better yet, prepare your own breakfast.

Leo

Watch for the plotters today, those out to get you. They'll be in the hidden sugars in cereal, sodium bombs in that can of soup or nefarious fats lurking in low-cal frozen yogurt. Geez, you just can't trust anything today, except perhaps the fresh goodness of a naval orange and a handful of raisins and almonds.

Virgo

You're often swayed by other people's points of view. You've scored in some cases; hence your lifelong love of sushi. But use common sense today. Don't let anyone convince you that something deep-fried, slathered in cheese and served by a teenager in a hat shaped like a chicken is good for you. That's just crazy talk.

Libra

Some things work so well together: Venus/Mars, Frost/Nixon, cabernet /pasta. Bring these two old friends together in a feast. Pick out a superb Cab, perhaps something robust and woody from Australia, and make a mound of angel hair pasta with a creamy chicken and garlic sauce. In the spirit of togetherness invite friends over. It just won't be a feast without them.

Scorpio

The heat may be on, and you may find yourself inexplicably drawn to a sacred location. You'll meet some of the faithful along your pilgrimage, and suddenly he will be before you: the ice cream man! Gosh, nothing's better than a chocolate ice cream cone, expect maybe a banana split!

Sagittarius

You may want to be alone today but that's just not going to happen. You should install a revolving door on your cubicle as seemingly everyone will have a question, answer, comment, concern. So grab some alone time at lunch if you can, outdoors preferably. That may be the only way to enjoy a New York Reuben without attracted the curious hoards.

Capricorn

It'll be impossible to detach yourself from the relentless pace of the day. But you'll be able to find welcome respites if you use your time right. Be sure to have a kettle of near boiling water at the ready. Getting in a cup of Japanese green tea between phone calls and meetings will help cleanse your body and calm your spirit.

Aquarius

You'll feel a need to be socially useful today. Your friends joke that the best way for you to do that is to never host another dinner party. But you can help out at a dinner party of a different sort by volunteering your time with Meals On Wheels or a local soup kitchen. You'll be giving the best of yourself, and you may even learn a few cooking tips in the process.

Pisces

Treat business as you would a wedding cake today. Complicated, unwieldy and with too many layers, it'll be hard to see what's underneath all that outside glitz. It could stand tall and proud or it could all come tumbling down. Be sure you know which is more likely before taking a bite.
