Unfortunate
One of the simple delights offered by Chinese eateries is the traditional meal-end fortune cookie. The cardboard cookie taste isn't the attraction; it's all about the fortune. So imagine the consternation of my companion when he recently received this message: "A carrot a day, may keep cancer away." Bummer. What happened to meeting an attractive stranger? Or a warning about an unexpected visitor? He might even have settled for a lousy lucky number.

What the heck, Pom! That's just creepy. (Although those exact words run through my mind each time my phone rings...)

It's a new thing. There's a fortune cookie company in NY or NJ that makes them. I heard about them a couple of months ago, but it's been a while since I've had Chinese so I haven't had the pleasure of receiving one myself.

That explains everything, Faith. It's still jarring, though.
