happy birthday Virgo all-stars!

virgo - august 23 - september 22

status: I analyze

Quick Fire: Recipe dissection is a favorite pastime for our analytical Virgoans. You are likely to be a vegetarian or have acute tendencies toward certain food philosophies. Your foodie birthright is a nourishing diet of nuts, grains, beans, seeds and plain yogurt... boring! It's okay, someone has to keep us healthy! Avoid noisy crowds, they cause stress and disturb your perfectionist eating rituals. You are benevolent to a fault... tweeting your generous spirit helps our world evolve.

September Horoscope:
It’s time to believe what others have known for a long time… you are a star and can manifest your daydreams with little effort bringing you the recognition you truly want. Embrace this side of yourself and practice creativity. The kitchen is a good place to start breaking out. The full moon on the 12th will support these efforts by sharpening your skills of persuasion and keeping you in tune with partners of all types. Plan a special party for your birthday and show them your flair. Remember… life encompasses work AND play!

Your pairing: Summer pineapple glazed Cornish game hen with pine nut wild rice stuffing and crispy Pinot Grigio.

StarChefs: Mario Batali, Todd English, Michael Symon, Rachel Ray, Padma Lakshmi, Donatella Arpaia
