China House is my favorite Chinese restaurant. It's not far from the gates of Fermilab, in the stretch of Route 59 that I think of as "Warrenville's Chinatown" because there is another Chinese restaurant across the street.

The other day, this message appeared in my fortune cookie:
You are about to become $8.95 poorer. ($6.95 if you had the buffet.)


I thought you might like to see this.

A friend got this recently:
"There is absolutely no substitute for a genuine lack of preparation."

Someone replaced your fortune cookie with a platitude cookie.

If that's the price for the whole meal I am greatly envious. If it's the price for the cookie, not so much...

To be perfectly honest, the price for my meal (a Number One with tea) was only $5.78. Lunches are cheap at China House. One of many reasons to patronize the place.

The cookie is true in spirit, if not perfectly accurate. CH doesn't have a buffet, either.

Come visit sometime. We can dine there.
