Review: Instant Fortune Teller!

Last updated on: December 25, 2019 at 8:19 am By Angus McMahan

Instant Fortune Teller begins with the instruction to close your eyes and open the book at random. I closed my eyes, but then I couldn’t find the book.

Halite: Where does the phrase “Take it with a grain of salt” come from, and what the hell does it even mean? Dear Halite, We here at Ask Angus HQ are big fans of Blue Apron.
