When Matthew came home the other weekend he brought us a present.
That is a small portion of the two large garbage bags (!) of fortune cookies he *rescued* from the dumpster next to a fortune cookie bakery that happens to be near a bikeway in south Minneapolis. Apparently the bakery throws away any cookies that get broken or mis-packaged. Their loss, our gain. These cookies are actually fresher than any you might get at your local Chinese restaurant because they were baked the day Matthew snatched them up.
Guess what? Our dogs like fortune cookies! Who knew?
Lucy's fortune: "You will be praised and rewarded for a job well done." Is that the perfect doggy fortune or what?
