My Fortune Says "Cold it will be..."

My lucky numbers are 1, 27, 47, 15 and 9 and you write the word map with four horizontal lines and a vertical line (last part is made up.)
Part of the Chinese American food culture is the ubiquitous fortune cookie. Turns out this icon of cheap (and expensive...sometimes) Chinese restaurants may actually be Japanese. Turns out, an author in Japan has spent the last several years tracing the origins of this unique desert with deep thoughtful fortunes tucked inside. Remember to always as "in bed" after you read the fortune. I found it very entertaining and it makes me wonder how many other "cultural or ethnic dishes" we really eat are not really from where we believe the originate.

If you are looking for a job, female, and petite click here. No it won't lead you to a creepy web page I developed looking to get your information and "chat." Instead you could just be on your way to 1000 mph world record...or a big pile of smoking debris. Sponsors are appreciated! This article was courtesy of the quick eye of Matt!!

Finally there is proof that its never to cold to exercise. This article reminds me of the sub zero mornings that we were required to run in back in college. I will tell that there is nothing better than seeing icicles grow off of your eye lashes at 6 in the morning...So as the temperatures have dropped here in the Rouge its been fun to watch the number of Cajuns in coveralls that come out of the woodwork when it drops down to below 50 degrees. Then you forget its only 50 degrees because the smell of fresh fireplaces fill the air...for three days a year. Though, in defense, it is supposed to get below freezing for like the 3rd time this winter this weekend. Ah...the joy of Louisiana winters!
