Fortune Cookies: Made in Japan? Like Pizza? Your Weirdest Fortune?

Weirdest one: "You will get new clothes."

Best one, that I have hanging on my board at work: "Keep your plans secret for now."

There is nothing like a FLAT sesame bagel with whitefish salad, sliced tomato and pepper from Tal Bagels on 86th Street. So good!

Eating in Vegas

Hugo's Cellar in the basement of the Four Queens hotel is always a must stop for me in Vegas. If you haven't seen the "old" Vegas on Fremont street, it's definately worth a trip. Plus, some of the casinos on Fremont street have deep fried oreos and deep fried twinkies! I can feel my arteries clogging just thinking about them...

Morimoto's Cookbook Can Be Yours This Weekend

Morimoto without question. His dishes are always innovative, delicious, and beautiful. Stained glass sushi? Spectacular. Plus, his restaurant is amazing, and he was nice enough to take a picture with me when I was there :)

Good to see Mario posting on this site!!! One of the best (if not THE best) Italian chefs in America.

Eating in Vegas

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.

Mario Unclogged: Spaghetti al Pomodoro

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.

Mario Unclogged: Spaghetti al Pomodoro

i've made this probably two dozen times since the original post, both for myself and very appreciative friends. it's a real keeper. i have been using chipotle chile flakes {impulse purchase at zabar's} instead of the red pepper for a subtle smoky heat.

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

maered: IMHO, you are the winner! Nobody would dare say it, but what perfect advice for any new bride.

LoCo: We do something similar - our phrase is, "That's what the girl said to the sailor." Can get darn funny with a group, especially with a little alcohol thrown in. In any casual situation. Yours definitely works best with fortunes, though. I'm laughing.

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.

I got one that said: "The number three."

I keep every one of my fortune cookie slips. The early ones were in this tiny 1 inch diameter decorative clay pot. When that got full, I started putting them in the large pink plastic see-through piggy bank that I got as a holiday party gift. That hasn't gotten full yet.

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!!

most nonsensical: "here we go. moo shu cereal for breakfast. with duck sauce."
favorite: "a nice cake is waiting for you."
i should eat chinese food more often!

Went to a Chinese restaurant on my 40th birthday, April 1, and my fortune said" A fool at forty is a fool indeed"

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!

There is a Chinese food restaurant in my town that does not put fortunes in its cookies because it is a Christian business. There's nothing wrong with this, but it's a little sad to open your fortune (non-fortune?) cookie and have nothing inside!
The ones my husband and I got last night happen to be related to our potential work situations in the near future! "Investigate a new opportunity as a potential prospect."

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!

In the past month, on separate occasions, I've gotten a blank fortune. So, if I stop commenting here I think it's safe to assume I'm dead :)

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.
