As a contrast, this day is also Fortune Cookie Day!
"Always on September 13 This day celebrates the creation of the Fortune Cookie. What a great cookie. A little slip of paper inside of it brings you good luck, a whimsical saying, or a philosophical thought. (we favour good luck...we can use all we can get).
It's pretty clear that the Fortune Cookie did not originate in China - rather, it was invented in California! Although there appears to be some uncertainty over who invented it. Some historical references suggest it was Makoto Hagiwara who invented the fortune cookie at the Japanese Tea Garden in San Francisco in 1914. Others believe that David Jung, founder of the Hong Kong Noodle Company, was the first to make fortune cookies in Los Angeles in the 1920s"
To celebrate this day, go grab a handful of fortune cookies. Or, get your fill online. Online cookies are no calories, no carbs, lactose and gluten free!
