Your Daily FoodScope for August 22, 2023

August 22, 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

Expect to get into a few arguments today, but for once they'll be pleasant and good natured. These friendly debates will center on chicken or fish, red or white, chocolate or vanilla. There'll be no loser in these arguments; today everybody wins!

Taurus

Many cultures celebrate summer by building a bonfire. You may not be able to do that in your backyard, but a grill will work just as well. Throw some frankfurters and burgers on the fire and dance around the flame until those babies are ready!

Gemini

You may have a lot going on today, but don't forget to celebrate. Invite friends for a barbecue and serve seasonal foods like ahi steaks, grilled asparagus, watermelon and cherries. Encourage everyone to wear purple just like the Druids at Stonehenge.

Cancer

Your to-do list will read like a short story today. Your choices will be to dig in and get them all accomplished, or to blow them off until next weekend. If choosing the latter, don't let laziness overwhelm you. With the exception of getting those damned charcoals lit, grilling burgers and chicken legs on the barby won't take any effort at all.

Leo

Keep the social bandwagon rolling today by inviting friends over for a celebration. It may be hard to practice the ancient Druid ritual of dancing around a bonfire in your little apartment; a few candles will have to do. But you can do the next best summer ritual and serve everyone hot dogs and potato salad.

Virgo

It'll be a good day to hold a party if the weather holds up. But weepy skies don't have to make it a wash out. Hold your event indoors, and a fireplace can double for a bonfire. Serve yummy summer foods like strawberries, mango, soft-shell crab and eggplant, and no one will even notice the rain.

Libra

You may meet someone new today, and it'll be amazing how much you have to talk about. That's always best done over food, so invite this certain someone to lunch. A rapport could develop during the course of your gabfest, and love could bloom as you share a slice of hot apple pie topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Scorpio

Just because it's the weekend doesn't mean you should neglect your diet. Temptation will abound, but a little willpower should get you through. Reward yourself with a healthy snack -- nonfat yogurt topped with blueberries and almonds will almost be as good as a hot fudge sundae.

Sagittarius

You'll feel a renewal of spirit and energy. Maybe it's the warm weather, the long days or the backyard barbecues, but you love summer. Then again, maybe it's the chipotle barbecue sauce covering your grilled chicken breasts that's making you feel all tingly inside.

Capricorn

Today will be a good one to teach the kids how to cook. Start with the basics: marinara sauce, lasagna and garlic bread are quick and easy. Delighted, they may want to learn more. Not only will you be teaching them a valuable skill, but now maybe they can cook dinner for a change.

Aquarius

A sizzling affair has gone cold, and you may be feeling dejected and blue. But eating healthy foods could have you feeling better. Red delicious apples, blueberries and a few orange slices will have you back in the pink in no time.

Pisces

You're a fan of poetry, that's for sure, even if most of it is a total bore. You love Angelou and Atwood, Cummings and Keats, but today you'll need some coffee or anything else that keeps you from falling asleep.
