You know you’ve wondered, if you’ve ever eaten Chinese food. How do they get the fortune in the cookie?? Well yesterday we found out. The fortune cookie was invented in San Francisco (LA also lays claim to their birth) and they are serious about them in Chinatown. We visited Mee Mee Bakery, where our guidebooks said the proprietor would show us his fortune cookie making machine if we asked. He was willing, but immediately said, “But no pictures please!” We of course agreed. It was a cool machine! I drew a diagram from memory tonight just for fun (yes, I am a complete and utter dork).
