Writing of quick meals and unplanned dinners, here are a couple of souvenirs from Friday night’s Chinese takeaway dinner:
Fortune reads: You have an unusual equipment for success make sure to use it wisely.
Heh. That cracked me up. Seriously? An unusual equipment for success? Hmmm… And, I wonder how on earth I’d ever use it wisely if I get to figure out what it is?
Ah, well… This other one, I like -
Reads: New experiences and new friends will enrich your life.
Not so much a fortune for me but a reminder. New experiences and new friends are things I wish to have and long for. And, right now, I really am enjoying the process of creating these experiences and friendships.
This year has already opened a lot of new relationships for me, both online and off… And, I’m really enjoying it. And I’m very grateful. That’s why I know I should continue to be open to all sorts of experiences and people. Not to get used to too many ‘same ol’, same ol” stuff.
Anyway, is it just me – or do folks really order fortune cookies because they love their taste? Or, is it just for the sayings and/or experience? I don’t know about you, but I do enjoy eating ‘em. The ‘fortunes’ are just funny sayings to me. Something to have fun with and all. But the cookies themselves… mmmmmm… yum!
Hope you’re all having a fabulous weekend!

Hi Shai,
I’ve never eaten a fortune cookie, well not from a Chinese restaurant. I’ve had some that didn’t taste very good, so I doubt they were the real thing. We usually get prawn crackers with our Chinese takeaways.
Heather: You gotta taste the real thing! I want to know what you think of it.
And yep – we love prawn crackers too. That’s more of our staple, when it comes to Chinese meals. The fortune cookies are just li’l extras we get very rarely.
Hi Shai, Ok, next time we go Chinese I’ll order some fortune cookies. Pity I didn’t think of it the other week. We had Chinese when hubby and I went for a night off. Definitely next time.
