The following recipes represent the Gemini's fascination with diversity, novelty and the exotic. Geminis are always charming dinner companions -- that is, if you can manage to track them down. Whether it's their intellect or their appetite, they are constantly in a state of high energy. Their foods reflect this versatility and their zest for life. When preparing dinner for a Gemini, plan on an array of entertainment, in the form of music, presentation and interesting conversation. Be sure to choose an intriguing, unusual meal that is anything but traditional. Keep them engaged and active. Without stimulation, they lose interest very quickly, although you would never know it, as the Twins were born with good manners and a natural social grace. Complete the ambiance with a nice scenic view -- Gemini, being the rulers of hills, mountains, forests and fields, will enjoy feeling at peace in their natural surroundings. Then indulge in interesting dialogue, obscure foods, and the contagious lively energy that every Gemini possesses.

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Paper-line the muffin tins or butter them. Mix the carrots, apricots, oil, eggs and sugar together in a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and cloves. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the carrot mixture and blend thoroughly. Add the pistachios and mix. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tins. Bake the muffins for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.

Let the muffins sit for five minutes and then turn them out. These can be stored in the freezer in air-tight freezer bags for up to a month and defrosted as served. Yields 12 Muffins.

Instructions
Preheat oven or toaster oven to 300 degrees. Place pine nuts on a cookie sheet and toast for five minutes or until golden brown. Keep checking on them every couple of minutes so they don't burn. Set aside to cool.

Mix the greens, fennel, onions and tomatoes in a large mixing bowl with lemon juice and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Use your hands to mix the greens to dress the salad perfectly -- latex gloves are handy, as your hands are your best tools. Portion the salad onto four chilled salad plates. Sprinkle the cheese and the pine nuts evenly on each salad and serve. Serves 4.
