Choosing Appetizers Based on Chinese Astrology - the Tiger

Thursday January 29, 2004
"Whoever coined the term “fearless leader” was probably referring to a person born under this sign. Bold, fearless, - not to mention rather sexy – tiger people are known for their courage in the face of danger. Their dynamic nature and craving for adventure makes them exciting to be around. However, tigers don’t like to lead just for the sake of leading. Their top priority is getting the job done, even if it means working alone.

While known for their kindness and sensitivity, Tiger people can also be rather emotional and demanding in their personal relationships. Expect to make a tiger’s enemies your enemies if you want to maintain the friendship. Younger Tigers can clash with authority figures. However, Tigers also have a thoughtful side. Modern dance founder Isadora Duncan, writer John Steinbeck, and political scientist Jeanne Kirkpatrick were all born under this sign.

Recommended Appetizer: Szechuan Guacamole It takes something a little extra to impress Tigers. This fusion dish boldly combines a classic Mexican avocado dip with spicy Szechuan seasonings. For cooks who know their way around the kitchen, another possibility is Coconut-Infused Pork and Shrimp Spoon Dumplings, a Chinese-Thai fusion dish.
