Hong Kong Fortune Cookies
"This recipe come from a 1978 cookbook called "The Nancy Drew cookbook: Clues to Good Cooking" by Carolynn Keene. When my daughter Paula was 13 years old, I had a birthday party for her and the kids went on a scavenger hunt. They had to get mysterious things as the theme of the party was a mystery party. Then we served refreshments: hot dogs cooked on a bon fire, etc. Then they opened their fortunes. It was the hit of the party and all had a great time. This is one of Paula's most memorable parties! She is 37 now and still likes to tell about that party! I still have that cookbook and love to look at it."

I'm sorry. This recipe just did not work out. The cookie came out full of holes (bubbles), and was very, very greasy. Not at all like a fortune cookie. This would be nice if left to harden and broken up, and maybe sprinkled on top of ice cream...

I am Married to the same guy for 40 years,I Have 2 beautiful Daughters, who have given me 6
grand and glorious grandchildren.
I love to cook,in fact you could call it my favorite hobby
My pet peeve is telemarketers,Every time I get busy with my recipe hobby one of them will call and knock me off the web,and of coarse I waste precious time getting back on.I am disabled,so I no longer work,and have plenty of time to pursue my hobby.
My best dish I make is Lasagna but thats just because I love lasagna.I am also asked to bring No-Bake cookies at all of our potlucks, and linger-longers at church.Meat loaf is another often requested dish I am asked to bring...... NOT MY meatloaf but .... My husbands.
He is as good a cook as I am,He can cook anything I can cook, and I can cook anything he can cook,but some things I make better,and some He makes better...So we do a lot of compromising at our house.
