Everyone knows at the end of a nice piling plate of chinese food you have your fortune cookie. First one I grab, perfectly sealed package with no cookie. Ok. Second cookie, NO FORTUNE! WTF!? Let's try this again. Third cookie, fortune reads..."I wouldn't risk it today." I'm officially not leaving the house tonight. Something bad is going to happen to me.  | ||

The history of the fortune cookie is a contentious issue and many a cookie has crumbled over this topic. I had presumed that Fortune Cookies were invented by the Chinese and that they were steeped in some ancient tradition. Well, what a surprise I got. The Chinese Fortune Cookie is not even Chinese. It actually originated in the good old USA, California. http://www.chinese-fortune-cookie.com/fortune-cook ie-history.html | ||

As far back as the 19th century, a cookie very similar in appearance to the American Fortune cookie was made in Kyoto, Japan, and there is a Japanese temple tradition of random fortunes, called omikuji. The Japanese version of the cookie differs in several ways: they are a little bit larger; are made of darker dough; and their batter contains sesame and miso rather than vanilla and butter. They contain a fortune; however, the small slip of paper was wedged into the bend of the cookie rather than placed inside the hollow portion. This kind of cookies are called Ґ Tsujiura Senbei and are still sold in some regions of Japan. Most of the people who claim to have introduced the cookie to the United States are Japanese, so the theory is that these bakers were modifying a cookie design which they were aware of from their days in Japan. Makoto Hagiwara of Golden Gate Park's Japanese Tea Garden in San Francisco is reported to have been the first person in America to have served the American version of the cookie when he did so at the tea garden in 1890s or early 1900s. The fortune cookies were made by a San Francisco bakery, Benkyodo. So is it Califorianese? Whoever the hell made it jip me! | ||

Well I see there are others who would vie for the young lady's favor. I have a feeling that when I present her father with my magical elixir of oxblood and secretary bird claws that she will hop right in the Bentley and ride off with me. Sorry but I had to pull out my ace. | ||
| Daves |
well, there's just no topping a magic elixir, bummer. | ||
