What does the future hodl?

The title looks like I made an error. But bear with me and you might even see where this is going…

You see, I developed a serious craving for shrimp egg fu young a few days ago. So after running an errand yesterday I stopped at a small place recommended on Yelp because, sad to say, my normal go-to place had closed. Fingers crossed the proprietors decided to retire but it seems unlikely these days. ~sigh~ On a happy note, this restaurant served an even tastier version of the Chinese omelet. I am not normally a fan of any gravy but theirs was delicious and my meal received a second light drizzle. The funny part came within my crunchy little dessert.

Our US history behind the fortune cookie isn’t all good. You can read about it here.

Isn’t it odd I received a query rather than a fortune telling? Have you eaten these vanilla flavored crunchy cookies? And if so, do you like them?

  1. I love those crunchy cookies and hubby doesn't so I get to eat his too. I'm glad the new place was better than the place that closed.

    Have a fabulous day and weekend, Darla. Perhaps you find out what your future hodls. Big hug. ♥

  2. That's really funny! I have noticed our Chinese place has fortune cookies that are sometimes questions now too, very weird. The worst was one time many years ago when I was going through a really hard time and my fortune cookie had no fortune in it. I still remember I almost cried - silly but true!

  3. I like fortune cookies, I once got a blank forture though, I guess I was supposed to write my own!

  4. Interesting article about fortune cookies. Thank you for sharing it. I love them with the tea served at Chinese restaurants. Now I want Chinese food- beef with broccoli and some chicken fingers would be nice. :) XO

  5. I just watched a youtube video on how to make them. I may try it, because I think it would be fun to make your own fortunes to stick in them.

  6. I also looked up how to make shrimp egg foo young, because it sounded delicious and it also looks delicious.

  7. I never did like the taste of them. Like eating crunchy paper. (not the fortune).

    1. I find some tastier than others. :) The better ones have more vanilla flavoring.

  8. There are a few FB groups that post misspelled signs, notices, etc. and it's hilarious!
    What makes me crazy is misspellings in books; where the heck are the editors?!? I have no problem with correcting, in pencil, such errors in library books or my own.

    1. Editing seems to have gone by the wayside, sad to say. Be well!

  9. I too hope the proprietors of your old place just decided to retire. We have a few good places around here.

  10. Oh great, now dad wants Chinese (mom says "No!") Dad says he's always liked chomping on those things back when he was allowed to eat take-out.
