while the cat’s away…

…i’m currently in Chicago, sitting in a lovely hotel room in Oak Brook, Illinois on the McDonald’s campus. and if i look hard enough, i can almost see Hamburger University from my window. okay, fine, i really can’t. but i just wanted to squeeze Hamburger U in there somehow…because, hello, awesomeness! i’m currently trying to figure out how to upload my pictures but i’m on a swanky new laptop and it doesn’t seem to have a place to plug in my memory card (maybe it’s not all that swanky after all…)

until i do that, and until i’ve got some thoughts together that i’m ready to share…i hereby present you with the world’s most expensive wonderful photographs.

Sneak Peek! by you.

kids4 by you.

kids1 by you.

kids3 by you.

oh…i CAN tell you one thing. i did get to watch and see how an Egg McMuffin is made and i can assure you….they are made from 100% REAL eggs. there was nothing powdered about ‘em.

You can post a comment, or trackback from your site.

Great pictures! I can’t wait to hear more about your McDonald’s experience!

Yes! I can now continue to eat my favorite breakfast food. Seriously, I was on pins and needles.

Hey, while you are in Chicago, see if you can get to breakfast at the Bongo Room. They have pancakes made with Oreos…

Don’t forget to ask them about ‘acid on the apples’!

Did you see the dudes that juggle and toss the eggs around in the air while they make the Egg McMuffins?

Awesome pics!

Beautiful kids. You sure they didn’t get that from their dad?

Oh, and can you ask the fine folks at Mickey D’s why it is optional for McDonalds to install diaper changing tables in their rest rooms (guess how many do it when it’s “optional”)?

Thanks!

Soo….are you overdosing on Dunkin Donuts while you’re in town?

Ask them why they don’t have milk available for coffee. If they’re trying to get market share from Starbucks they should skim milk available. Last time I asked they offered to sell me a milk carton. Come on…..

[ 16 Oct 08 ]

Yeah, those were expensive. And yeah, it was SOOO worth it.
