Calvin Trillin's The Tummy Trilogy is what probably made me get into food in the first place. I love him!

oh yeah--these are delicious. Non-greasy and with really good potato flavor, and like you mention above, not too salty either. I went through an entire bag in three days.

I don't know exact wording, but I always get wealth or money ones. Sadly they never come true, lol

The most memorable fortune I recieved was........."Alas, this is not a very fortunate fortune cookie." I had a flat tire waiting for me when I left the restaurant.

"You need not worry about your future"...

Well... we'll see.

But they could mean it's because I don't have a future. Fortune cookies are like that.

Not a memorable fortune, but I did have quite a memorable incident with an old boyfriend that began with being fed a fortune cookie..

I once got a fortune that said "Old friends will return to you" and then a couple of weeks later my husband and I got word that our best friends were moving to the city we were living in at the time. It was the only time that I know of my fortune coming true.

Well, my parents told me about a time when I opened a cookie that said 'you will soon have a mouthful of silver' and I was actually going in that weekend to have silver caps put on my teeth. Scary? True? Hmmm.
