Your Daily FoodScope for August 16, 2023

August 16, 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

Unlike the sleepyheads in the office, you'll start the day with boundless energy. But not much will get done if coworkers go through the day like zombies, so lend a hand. Take a quick jog to the nearest bakery and buy pastries. They'll go perfectly with the industrial-strength coffee you'll pour down their throats.

Taurus

Working alone on projects is ill advised today. Gather some of your colleagues, because six heads are better than one. Still, more helping hands don't guarantee success. Treat everybody to a big sushi lunch if things work out. If everything implodes, you can always blame the failure on them.

Gemini

Focus on the creative rather than the mundane today. Still, your motivation may be compromised by a mind that's slightly fuzzy. A power lunch should take care of that, because nothing will roust you from slumber better than fruit salad and a roast beef sub.

Cancer

You'll have unusually high energy levels. So you should have no problem getting a lot of work accomplished. So much, in fact, you may be able to leave work early. You'll be tempted to go out, but head right home instead. A healthy chicken and veggie stir-fry dinner will be better for you than Happy Hour beers with friends

Leo

You'll have many decisions to make today. So use your instincts to help you with your choices. It's never steered you wrong before, and if it tells you to order the Caesar salad and herbal iced tea rather than a meatball sub for lunch, listen to it, dammit!

Virgo

Work projects with come with dizzying details that will make your head swim. Still, you'll have to deal with them, so deal with it. It'll take intense focus and concentration, both of which may improve after lunch. It's amazing how a grilled chicken rice bowl and sauteed veggie lunch can improve your brainpower.

Libra

When this world gets too intense, it's always good to appreciate life's smaller pleasures. Whether that's a beautiful sunset, birds chattering outside your window or the wonderful taste of a sliver of mint-infused chocolate, it's the little things that will matter most today.

Scorpio

You may have had a dream where you descended to the watery depths to slay a mighty sea dragon. That may not actually happen to you today, but it'll come close when you dig into a grilled swordfish filet the size of a submarine.

Sagittarius

Check all of your valuables before leaving for work today. Your keys, cell phone, iPod and wallet are all easily lost, so make sure you're loaded. But it won't be until later that you'll realize you forget something just as valuable when you picture your homemade roast beef sub sitting on the kitchen counter slowly going bad.

Capricorn

The powers that be will be impressed by your professionalism and gung-ho attitude today. So a lunch invite to discuss a promotion may come your way. But don't drop your guard in a more informal environment. Dripping shrimp gumbo down the front of your shirt may have the bosses thinking they made a mistake.

Aquarius

Socializing may have drained you of ready cash. But don't look to your credit card to help since that's maxed out, too. You may have to rummage through your desk drawers for spare change. Hopefully you can scrape up enough for a vending machine cup of noodles or lunch could be a bust.

Pisces

It'll seem like you're in a dream world today as focus eludes you. Caffeine will only make you feel fuzzier, so get an energy boost from natural sources. Bananas, apples or orange slices will give you a natural sugar rush without the edge of coffee, and help you get through until lunch.
