WEEK OF JANUARY 19 TO 25, 2014
THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK: CAPRICORN, AQUARIUS, AND PISCES.
ARIES A thorough clean-out at home, as well as at the office, should allow you to see things from a better perspective. Some rest is advisable so that you don’t get sick. TAURUS You may very well act the hero in some way. You could really help a person in dis- tress who will be grateful to you for a long time to come. GEMINI You spend a good part of the week at home, perhaps because one of your chil- dren is in need of his or her favourite nurse. If you don’t have children, you likely end up taking care of another fa- mily member. CANCER You might have some strange dreams this week. Be sure to talk about them to your loved ones. They’ll be able to help you un- derstand them and find a way to resolve what’s causing them. LEO You may have a sudden urge to redeco- rate. You look more closely at the possi- bility of buying a home and moving in the near future. VIRGO You’re in an excellent position to nego- tiate something with someone. If you’re a fan of social networks, one of your com- ments might go viral. LIBRA Recharging your batteries is going to be a necessity, as your state of health forces you to rest. You could also devote body and soul to someone you love. SCORPIO Now is the time to leave your cocoon and stop acting like a hermit. An active social life starts with better organization and some careful planning of activities with friends. SAGITTARIUS You find that a lot of responsibilities have landed in your lap. Everyone seems to rely on you. Perhaps it would be a good idea to sequester yourself for a while in order to fulfill all your commitments. CAPRICORN A dream vacation requires some organi- zation and determination on your part in order for it to come true. A few changes are sometimes necessary to reach your goals. AQUARIUS Some feelings seem to be disturbing you. It’s important to emphasize your priori- ties. Look around for the necessary inspi- ration to realize a great masterpiece. PISCES Sometimes you’re very docile and at other times you’re rather inflexible. You’re not always easy to understand, despite your immense generosity. Consistency will help you in your relationships.

DIRECTIONS: Top and rail the zucchini and put into a large dish with 1 cup of water. Cover with pierced plastic wrap and cook in the microwave for 4-5 minutes on high. Rinse in cold water until completely cooled. Cut in half lengthwise, and carefully scoop out the flesh with a teaspoon, leaving a thin lining of flesh inside the skin. Leave to drain. Chop flesh roughly and set aside. Melt 2 tbsp of butter in a bowl for 1 minute on high. Add the shallot and mushrooms, and cook, covered, for 2 minutes on high. Add zucchini flesh, cover and cook for 1 minute on high. Beat the cream cheese, tomato paste and milk together. Add crabmeat, parsley, sea- soning and a few drops of tabasco. Stir into the zucchini mixture and pile the filling into each zucchini shell. Mix breadcrumbs ans Parmesan cheese together, and top each filled zucchini. Melt the remaining but- ter and sprinkle over the zucchini. Heat through, uncovered, for 5 min- utes on high and brown under a broiler. Serve immediately.
