Generally the food in Las Vegas is fair at best. Do not be swayed my the great meal you had in NYC and they chief opened a joint here, it won't be as good because they count a very low brow taste bud here. The best restaurant in town, hands down is Lotus of Siam the food is amazing the staff is great and the prices are cheap. You will need a reservation, s don't forget, because you won't want to miss this spot. I would also like to add that the new restaurants at Encore do not match the quality at Wynn, Sintra's was an hour long wait for the food, which was a big piece of tasteless meat on a plate when it finally came. Botero, only the deserts are worth touching and society is OK if you like Mac and Cheese.

My goodness, I just made this for lunch and it was amazing! No sungolds down here in Houston (that I can find) but the regular red tomatoes were splendid.

My mom got a fortune that read, "Promote literacy, eat more fortune cookies." And the sad thing is that she is an English teacher.

We had our wedding dinner at a Chinese restaurant (we were broke) and my fortune cookie read: Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

17 years later ... I still have the husband and the fortune too.

When I was in high school, a friend of mine was deployed during Desert Storm. I made him homemade fortune cookies and put fortunes like "Don't look a gift camel in the mouth," and "If you lay down with camels, you'll get up with sand fleas." They were great comic relief and I had a blast making them.

A recent one that's still sitting on my desk:

Avoid the opposite sex today.
Yeah, right!

And then just for emphasis, the 'Learn Chinese' word on the back:
Still single-mae yao jeh huan

Can't make these up!!

Favorite fortune "that wasn't chicken".

Anybody else have funny fortune-cookie traditions? One that's popular where I come from is to read your fortune aloud to the rest of your party and add the words "in bed" to the end of the fortune. Some pretty hysterical results as you go around the table. Especially if it's a large group that's been drinking!

I collect fortunes, and get lots of generic ones. The best fortune I've gotten reads, "Very soon, and in pleasant company." I think that covers all bases!

by far, this one

My weirdest fortune was not so much what it said, but what it did. I was at this restaurant that offered both General and Adult fortunes. My table opted for Adult. I cracked open my fortune cookie and a huge cockroach came out of it and ran up my arm. To this day I still get the wigs.

the day before my son was born, my daughter's fortune was "A short, dark stranger will soon enter your life". I am not normally a cheeseball, but this one is still tucked into my wallet somewhere.

"More pineapple, please."
