Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
There’s just no telling a Libra that they have to get ugly with the rest of us -- even when it comes to the gritty sport of football. Oh, the “Lovely One” will partake in messy meatballs and nasty nachos -- but bring such dishes to a party? Never. Not only does goopy food look unappealing while it’s waiting to be served -- it could spill -- and spoil “The Outfit!” There’s going to be something neat and pretty coming out of Libra’s matching Tupperware set. Look for home-made Madeleines. Buttery -- but itty-bitty enough to be bitten without creating crumbly messes -- these sweet treats, along with imported beer, embody the touch of class Libra takes everywhere.
Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
Scorpio tries to hide the part of them that gets great joy out of dealing with the murky parts of the earth. But, at a place like a tailgate party, it’s going to be painfully obvious. Scorpio loves football because it’s a spectacle of athletic excellence. Running, jumping and shows of brute strength (plus the stealthy strategy) give Scorpio plenty to critique and admire. But deep in the Scorpion’s heart is a wish to be immersed in the dirt and muck, and roll around in it with the players. Maybe some chocolaty Mississippi Mud Pies -- and a couple of mugs full of pilsner -- would be the way to do it while feeling no pain!
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)
People born under this sign get so excited about football that they lose track of what they’re doing! What Sag won’t tell you is they might not even really know the ins and outs of the game -- they just like it! Sadly, there’s little time to do anything too elaborate while preparing food when you’re studying up on the stats, picking your third-string fantasy team, and painting signs with all your favorite players’ names. Sagittarius will think outside of the box and serve up some gooey macaroni and cheese … and a bit of British bitter brew, too.
Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)
Have you ever watched a coach pace the sidelines during a tense moment in the 4th quarter? Capricorn has the exact same mindset. To this executive type, it is NOT just a game. All this food and stuff that people fuss about out in the parking lot is nothing but a lot of hooey. Wait … does the noble goat smell steak kabob? Portable, nutritious and unpretentious, that could be the perfect food to carry Capricorn through ‘til half time. Aha ... serious nourishment starts to make sense! Add a little ale, and Capricorn’s ready to seal the deal.
Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)
This free spirit goes out of the way to stick out in the crowd, yet yearns to be a part of it, too. These are the people who buy team jerseys in funky colors such as pink, powder blue, florescent orange or chartreuse. They might not match, but hey -- they've got that team spirit! Aquarius also likes to inspire others, to give them something memorable that they can think about while the referees are reviewing a coach’s penalty challenge. Certainly, the taste of stuffed jalapeño peppers washed down with something tapped from the keg could do the trick!
Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20)
Leave it to dreamy Pisces to bring the liquid refreshments. This sensitive type will think about the few football fans out there who, for some strange reason, don’t like beer! What can one do, when the rest of the gang wants to toast a touchdown, and the substance in your glass makes you want to wretch? Some say Pisces people can be a bit fruity, and they might prove it at your next tailgate party when they pour a bunch of Sangria into the mix! Who knows? After a few glasses, Pisces might come up with a recipe for next week that features fresh fruits soaked in … beer!
