Closest thing to telepathic cookie delivery

I've been thinking lately how much I just want some local bakery to read my mind and drop by my office with a chocolate chip or oatmeal cookie on occasion. But alas, there is no telepathic cookie delivery.

However, Karen told us about the next best thing: CampusFood.com. And in particular, Hunan Kitchen takeout. Their soy protein and garlic eggplant are to die for, and twice they've prepared meals for five people in five minutes. Three times, actually, if you consider we called four minutes after placing an order tonight to add food for another person and the delivery guy was already out the door. (And so what did we do? Placed another order. I think we're now on someone's list . . . but the second course did arrive ten chopstickfulls later.)

And of course the orders include fortune cookies. No telepathy going on, but hey, there's divination. Good enough for me.

Wow - I'm surprised there isn't anything for PSU there yet. There's already so much to choose from around the campus, but this would mean that I wouldn't even need to take those somewhat mandatory breaks.

Not telepathic, but hey, close enough:

Insomnia Cookies

This should give you a good reason to move over to UofI!
