So for my professional holiday presents (I don’t do personal presents generally, long Chinese story) I couldn’t resist ordering from Good Fortunes<\/a>, which offers delicious special (and pricey) fortune cookies for all kinds of special occasions: Valentine’s Day, Hannukkah, Weddings, Mother’s Day, etc.<\/p>\n

Anyway, here are the ones I gave out today. Above s their most popular set. The toffee ones are so so good. Good Fortunes also offers giant fortune cookies<\/a> which are the size of footballs.

This is the x-mas set — sorry about the plastic reflection. We didn’t open this one.<\/p>\n

I’ve been to visit their factory, which is just outside Los Angeles. Outside totally nondescript.
