The Great Almond Cookie Gathering (September): The Oracle Speaks
Details
The prophecy has continued. Unfortunately, someone interpreted it...
Distinguished guests, noodle scholars, almond-cookie loyalists, and completely unqualified fortune interpreters are hereby summoned once again to Yen Yen for the Third Great Almond Cookie Gathering.
Following months of extensive research, careful observation, and eating Chinese food, our scholars have reached several important conclusions:
- Mongolian Beef remains worthy of further investigation.
- Soup continues to resist classification as either an appetizer or an emotional support beverage.
- And the tiny paper oracle inside the fortune cookie may know considerably more than it is willing to disclose.
This month, we gather not merely to dine, but to seek answers. At the conclusion of the meal, each honored attendee shall once again receive the Twin Relics of Enlightenment: the almond cookie & the fortune cookie.
- One offers sweetness.
- The other contains a vaguely inspirational sentence that six adults will inevitably analyze far more seriously than necessary.
Scholarly proceedings shall include:
- Strategic entrée selection.
- Noodle research conducted under controlled dining conditions.
- Casual social discourse between esteemed colleagues.
- Public reading and interpretation of fortunes.
- Wildly unsupported predictions based upon said fortunes.
- Ceremonial consumption of complimentary almond cookies.
No credentials are required. No previous knowledge of the prophecy is necessary. The Oracle accepts all who are hungry.
