THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK: CANCER, LEO, AND VIRGO.
ARIES You feel good, as though you could con- quer the world. You are suddenly inspired to embark on a very stimulating profes- sional or personal activity. TAURUS You adore good company and you devote heart and soul to those you love. Be judi- cious, however; some may tend to take advantage of your goodness. GEMINI This is a rather stressful week for one rea- son or another. You might be able to find the necessary motivation to properly take care of your health, both on the short and long term. CANCER A few surprises may delay you at home or at work. It would be a good idea to leave plenty of time between appointments in order to avoid the stress of falling behind in your schedule. LEO Some friends may invite you to join them on a trip. Nothing would give you more pleasure than getting away for a winter break and feeling some warm sand be- neath your feet. VIRGO You might run the gamut of feelings this week. You’re sure to make some big changes in your circle of friends, as you realize that some of them don’t deserve your friendship. LIBRA You may be urged to make an important decision. It’s vital that you gather togeth- er the right information before being in a position to weigh all the pros and cons and decide wisely. SCORPIO You find yourself with a mountain of urgent jobs to do at work. Even though this is a stressful situation, working your way through it is a good investment in your career. SAGITTARIUS You are in the spotlight, even though you would have preferred to remain in the shadows. This kind of situation can help you conquer your shyness in front of an audience. CAPRICORN If your children left home a while ago, you may decide to sell the house and enjoy greater freedom. You might also receive some kind of marriage proposal. AQUARIUS You are involved in lots of discussions. You increase your client base at work and suc- ceed in assembling your troops in order to substantially improve business. PISCES Financial matters are a frequent source of stress. Take the time to talk with the right people in order to find suitable so- lutions and, above all, don’t be too hard on yourself.

DIRECTIONS: Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan and fry the onion and garlic until translucent. Do not brown. Turn out into a bowl and set aside. Drop the cubed meat into the hot pan, making sure all the pieces have a chance to touch the hot surface. Stir in the tomato paste. You’ll see the sugar in the paste start to caramel- ize and turn brown. Stir the onions and garlic back into the pan. Pour in the beef stock, cover and simmer 90 minutes. Add the potatoes, green peppers, half of the paprika, the black pepper and the caraway seeds. Cover and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes. Before you serve, stir in the tomato pieces until just heated through. Sprinkle with the remaining paprika. Stir and serve. Recipe and photo : Graham Kerr’s Smart Cooking, Doubleday.
