Chinese New Year Dinner

My husband took E and I out to our local Chinese Restaurant on Monday night for their Chinese New Year dinner.  Some of the staff was dressed up in somewhat traditional clothing.  Each guest was able to draw a red envelope. Mine had a $1 in it, husband's a coupon for beer, and E's a coupon for a free appetizer. Dinner was good. E was on decent behavior. We tried to get her to talk with the waitress, but she was too shy.  She did count the lanterns in English and Mandarin.

She woke up for the fortune cookies.  Her fortune was blank.  What does that mean?
