This afternoon we made fortune cookies. It wasn't very easy. To fold them effectively, you need cotton gloves. We braved the searing heat and did it bare handed, perhaps in the fashion of Chinese peasants.
The most fun was writing the 'fortunes'. You can find thousands of them online, but that's too easy. We wrote our own and they're quite inscrutable, involving ducks, wives, pots of gold and oxen.
I've been banned from posting a photograph of the first batches so instead have chosen a picture of the work of an expert. Perhaps later in the day, when the kitchen has cooled down a little, I'll slip one in.
