Omarr’s Astrological

Forecast For the week of sept 10 - sept 16 By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Remain focused on reaching your objectives without arguing about them. Be prepared to honor all your commitments in the week ahead. If you take your time, you could earn everyone’s respect and admiration. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Do not blow off any obligations, even if you really want to escape routines and satisfy an urge to break out of a late-summer rut. Proceed cautiously -- what seems good now may lose its luster later this week. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Prepare thoroughly and show up well-rehearsed. In the upcoming week, demonstrate your loyalty and integrity if you want to impress your friends and loved ones. Notice the tiny miracles of everyday life. CANCER (June 21-July 22): A debate can develop into a drama. Someone might get triggered and seem like a competitor when you merely want to have a conversation. In the coming week, you may need to focus on achieving congenial compromises. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): If you love them, you won’t leave them. Business relationships may become tense in the week ahead, but a romantic partnership could become closer. Remain reasonable about your expectations and keep your promises. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Be open to love. Your romantic nature may get a glowup in the week to come. You may want to be admired for being an active participant but you should not take on additional duties or make crucial decisions today. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Rather than reacting quickly, take more time to respond. A relationship may be on rocky ground today, but the path could become smoother as the week unfolds. Loved ones might prove that they are trustworthy and sincere. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t get involved in a family squabble. You may be itching to take matters into your own hands, but it is better to relax and be patient and stay in your lane. By the end of the week, a tense situation will probably be resolved. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You may demonstrate good taste in the week ahead but could also spend money that was put aside for something else. You can’t foresee everything, but you can learn from everything to do it better next time. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Good etiquette is essential. Go the extra mile to keep others fully informed now. People who seem impersonal or impatient could get under your skin, but you may need their good will later this week. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Respond based on who you are, not on who they are. As the week unfolds, you may encounter people who test your strength of character; do not give in to temptation. Focus on having a happy and pleasant family life. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You could project your fantasies on others in the upcoming week. You may have a blind spot and only see what you hope to see. Today isn’t a good time to start a new business relationship or make any major decisions.

BRING THE ICE CREAM TRUCK STRAIGHT TO YOUR KITCHEN WITH THESE ICONIC TREATS

By America’s Test Kitchen

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Makes 6 sandwiches

Vegetable oil spray 2/3 cup (3 1/3 ounces) all-purpose flour 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 cup packed (3 1/2 ounces) brown sugar 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted 2 tablespoons water 1 large egg yolk 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1/4 cup (1 1/2 ounces) mini semisweet chocolate chips 1 quart ice cream (homemade or storebought), softened

1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 325 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Spray lightly with vegetable oil spray. 2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt and baking soda. In a large bowl, whisk brown sugar, melted butter, water, egg yolk, and vanilla until smooth, about 30 seconds. 3. Add flour mixture to brown sugar mixture and use rubber spatula to stir until combined and no dry flour is visible. Stir in chocolate chips. (Dough will be very soft.) 4. Use a 1-tablespoon measuring spoon to scoop 12 mounds of dough onto the greased parchment-lined baking sheet (about 1 level tablespoon of dough per mound). 5. Place baking sheet in oven and bake until cookies are puffed and golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes. 6. Remove baking sheet from oven and place on cooling rack. Let cookies cool completely on baking sheet, about 30 minutes. (This is a good time to soften your ice cream in the refrigerator, 15 to 20 minutes.) 7. Fill cookies with ice cream by placing 1 scoop of ice cream in the center of 6 upside down cookies (scoop of ice cream should be about 2 inches tall and 2 inches wide). Working quickly, place 6 cookies, right side up, on top of ice cream to make sandwiches. Gently press cookies and twist to push ice cream to edges of cookies. Place ice cream sandwiches on a large plate and place in the freezer. 8. Freeze sandwiches until firm, at least 8 hours. Serve.

Note: Ice cream sandwiches can be individually wrapped in plastic wrap, transferred to a zipper-lock bag, and frozen for up to two months.
