What can one do to celebrate American Independence Day in India? Well, go to the opening of the latest Mc Donald's in Chennai, right around the corner from us. It was a grand affair - and it looked like all of Chennai was there! We went with Priya's friends to celebrate. The local paper reported that during the opening "Mrs Aishwarya Danush ( a Tamil actress) gave a traditional welcome to Mr Ronald Mc Donald , Chief Happiness Officer of McDonald's. " Sadly we missed that part.
Ashwin would have liked this venue to be open a year ago and Leann would likethe Paneer Tikka Salsa wrap to be included in the menu of US restuarants. Some of the other Indian menu additions were McAloo Tikka, Chicken Maharaja Mac, McVeggie burger and the Veggie Pizza Puff. Needless to say, a good time was had by all.

Fun post about the Mickey D's. I think we'd have had a lot more luck getting Michael there for the past 12 years if they offered some of those McIndian dishes here! Can't wait to see you folks back here in the 'hood soon! I'm thinking of trying out the JP Stitch and Bitch group here, since our knitting knites have kind of petered out in Leann's absence! MJ
I don't think I've ever seen anyone give themselves bunny ears in a photo! Priya, you are too funny! Enjoy your final weeks in India!! xoxo Pam
