The General Greene! 229 Dekalb Avenue. I've eaten here twice and been impressed both times, and it's just 2 or 3 blocks from the Masonic Temple.

Thanks, Hannah! Do you know how efficiently they're able to handle the crush of Friday night diners?

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!!
