I decided to take a touch personal twist on this prompt. Each year for New Year’ s Eve a friend of mine is baking special cookies – little “pockets”, filled with home-made marmelade and dusted with caster sugar on the top. Next to being delicious they also have a slip of paper within, telling what future holds for the finder. Yes, they sound a lot like the well-known fortune cookies, just look (and taste) completely different. This has become a lovely tradition that adds a lot of laugh to the evening.

Lovely response! Had to laugh just listened to NPR story about fortune cookies where they interviewed Chinese people who could not understand putting paper in food.

I usually forget what has been written on mine rather soon, just some friends who remember, do that “Oh, you see?! It happened!” thing when the next year is about to end. 🙂
