Week of October 19 to 25, 2014

ARIES It’s important to maintain an active social life if you want to keep a good relationship with your friends. The idea of moving will cross your mind; perhaps you just need a change of scenery. TAURUS Even if you have to spend more time than expected on a project, ultimately you are quite proud of yourself. You enjoy feeling a sense of accomplishment. GEMINI Treat yourself to the luxury of some new clothes to enhance your self- esteem. You might take on some new, more prestigious responsibi- lities at work. CANCER You are tempted to clean your home from top to bottom. It is a good time to do so; decluttering your environ- ment will lead you to get rid of a lot of useless things. LEO Your comings and goings are ra- ther complicated, as are communi- cations in general. You wait quite a long time for a return call, even though you told them it’s urgent. VIRGO You feel compelled to put in some extra hours at work. Although this new schedule displeases your loved ones, you’ll all appreciate the gene- rous bonus on your next pay slip. LIBRA You are a little disappointed as you begin a new job or a major project. Have some patience; things will go better after some good discussions take place. SCORPIO After being a bit zealous at the of- fice, a little rest is needed. Try to think more about yourself. A get- away or even a small trip will com- pletely renew your energy. SAGITTARIUS You are suddenly popular. You are guided by your intuition and you show great creativity. You have great success with a creation of an artis- tic nature. CAPRICORN Time is a scarce commodity for a lot of people. Even if you manage yours with great skill, you might have to wait a while for a few other people. AQUARIUS As the cooler weather sets in, you start to dream of a vacation in the south. You should be able to re- double your efforts at work in or- der to treat yourself to this trip. PISCES You embark on a project that ce- ments your love relationship. You may succeed in being able to live from your art. There are some ma- jor changes ahead, including a new direction.

It is important that the plums used in this dish are very ripe, otherwise the mixture will be too dry and the sauce will be extremely sharp. INGREDIENTS: • 4 duck quarters • 1 large red onion, finely chopped • 500 g (1 1/4 lbs) ripe plums, stoned (pitted) and quartered • 30 ml (2 tbsp) redcurrant jelly • Salt and black pepper

DIRECTIONS: Prick the duck skin all over with a fork to release the fat during cooking and help give a crisp result, then place the portions in a heavy frying pan, skin side down. Cook the duck pieces for 10 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked right through. Remove the duck from the frying pan using a slotted spoon and keep warm. Pour away all but 30 ml (2 tbsp) of the duck fat, then stir-fry the onion for 5 minutes, or until golden. Add the plums and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the jelly and mix well. Replace the duck portions and cook for a further 5 minutes, or until thoroughly reheated. Season to taste before serving.
