I like fortune cookies, with or without the fortune.
For New Years Leif and I got together with some friends and had a stir-fry themed meal. Leif makes some rockin’ Chinese, I tell you what. He does it all: all manner of stir-fries, egg rolls, miso soup (which is technically Japanese I guess), egg-drop soup, hot and sour soup (which I don’t like, but I have on good authority from friends that he does quite well), even spring rolls. One thing he doesn’t do is fortune cookies. So I buy a box of them at the grocery store, ’cause you gotta have fortune cookies when you eat Chinese.
Anyway, I still had several in the cupboard, and as I like them just for eating regardless, I’ve been tossing the leftovers in my lunchbox from time to time.
Today’s fortune said: Good news will come to you by mail.
And what do you think? I received my acceptance letter to grad school today.
Hmm. A fortune cookie fortune that could actually be considered accurate.
To bad it wasn’t: You will receive a large and unexpected windfall of cash today. I might have been accepted to grad school, but I have no idea how I will make this work.
