Pennie 26 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Wacky Day for April 14th: Fortune Cookie Day. Rumors that fortune cookies were invented in China are seen as false. In 1989, fortune cookies were reportedly imported into Hong Kong and sold as "genuine American fortune cookies".Wonton Food attempted to expand its fortune cookie business into China in 1992, but gave up after fortune cookies were considered "too American".

Pennie 26 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Wacky Day for April 19th is Freash Celery Day. When you buy fresh celery remove the plastic and wrapped the celery, intact, in aluminum foil and then kept it in the crisper in the bottom of the fridge. don't wash it first, just pulled off stalks as needed & washed them then. Keeps the celery nice & crisp & fresh for quite some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
