I am spending a semester teaching at a school in Chennai, India and the teacher from Chennai is in my classroom in Hazel Park, MI. This was arranged through the Fulbright Classroom Teacher Exchange Program. We will be in Chennai until late January 2012.

May's Shalwar Kameez & KFC

May has a couple new Indian outfits!
We were told this would be fancy enough to wear to a wedding!

A close up!

A more casual Shalwar -- which is pronounced sal-war with the 'a' sound like in 'call'. I would not say these are designed to keep a gal cool in the heat, but they sure are pretty.

Aven in his native habitat -- Stripe and Cream at his side and his nose in the iPad. He also uses his neck cooler (seen at the upper left of the bed) and a batter operated 'personal fan and sprayer.'
KFC was a bust. Aven was so excited to know that KFC was nearby. When we actually went there, he was really bummed. Apparently, the Colonel’s secret recipe is changed based on the palate of the majority of the population. The coating had a touch of chili and was slightly sweet. That made it unacceptable for him. The rest of us liked it just fine. I think it’s actually better. However, Aven is the most difficult member of our adventurous troop to feed, and I badly wanted to have a comfort food readily available. He is accepting donations of Annie’s mac and cheese (purple boxes or orange boxes). We have decent pasta. Just send the sauce packets.
