A Name Change

I've finally settled on a new name for this blog, which you can see at the top of the page.

I got the idea for this last week when, after finishing my Imperial Platter from Leann Chin (bourbon chicken and cream cheese puffs with fried rice, my standard), I unwrapped my fortune cookie and broke it apart to read the fortune.

Except, the fortune was blank. Just a strip of paper with nothing on it.

At first, I thought this was just funny, but then I realized that, if I reeaally wanted to read way, way more into this than is warranted, I could interpret this as a sign meaning that my fortune is in fact blank, and that I can write my own. Now, I don't actually believe in signs like this, so in fact this is more of a reminder of something I already knew rather than a deep revelation.

But hey, I like the name, and I think it's a neat story. So there you go.
