1300 – Operation Feel No Pain
“Dan” came in and administered an epidermal which took the fun factor for Tina from zero to a 100. We are still waiting for the baby, checking email and playing on the computer. We have a few DVDs and games to pass the time. We may even get some rest before the climatic conclusion.
0900 – Operation Broken Water
Dr. Liu just broke the water….it’s only a matter of time now!

It’s time Detillio…it’s time to Rule the World!!!!*
6.5 hours until we leave for the hospital. We are doing the last minute things, dusting, packing, and re-packing. Tonight we head to the hospital and serve the eviction notice on the baby. Dr. Liu is ready, we are ready, now to see if the baby is ready! We will be at Sequoia and you can call 650-369-5811 to see what the status is. More details to follow….

Chicken Sandwich
**Note- This was written by someone as a recipe they found comparable to Chick-Fil-A. As their lawyers have reminded me- Chick-Fil-A does not share their recipe and this is not THE recipe***
3 cups Peanut oil
1 Egg
1 cup Milk
1 cup Flour
2-1/2 Teaspoons Powdered sugar
1/2 Teaspoon Pepper
2 Tablespoons Salt
2 Skinless, boneless chicken breasts, halved
4 Plain hamburger buns
2 Tablespoons Melted butter
8 Dill pickle slices
Mix together the egg and milk. Place the filets in this mixture, and let sit for at least an hour. While the breasts are sitting, mix together the Flour, Sugar, Pepper,and Salt. Once the sitting is done, dredge in the flour. Place the Peanut oil in a deep fat fryer, and bring up to a high heat. Once up to 375 F., gently drop into the oil, and let cook until golden brown. (This is for those of us who do not have a pressure cooker. If you do, follow the note below!)
Note: Chick-Fil-A actually uses a Pressure Cooker to cook the Filets in. If you have one, use the peanut oil according to the instructions for frying in it. Desired heat is 400 F. Once steam starts shooting through, cook for about 4 Minutes.
Lightly butter the buns, and grill until heated through. Place two
pickles on each bun, and place a hot breast on each, with lots of mayo!
