Bathroom and Lasagna?? What the Hell?

Was in a very weird zone this weekend.

I wanted to get a whole bunch of stuff done in the bathroom and for some crazy reason I was jones'n for some lasagna. No, no drugs involved here.

First off the bathroom. From last episode I had gotten the tile up and was dreading the grout job. I thought that the grout was going to be a nightmare. Grout everywhere and me standing there having a complete meltdown.

Well, sorry to disappoint but it wasn't that way. About the only mistake I made was to try to do too big of a batch at once. Once I started making smaller batches, things went pretty well. It was still an unexpected workout with all the trowel and sponge work, but it went ok.

So here is the tile with the grout all finished. Oh, did I forget to mention the toilet? Oops....

Yeah, I told you I was in one of those moods where everything has to get done all at once. Yeah, the toilet is installed and all I have left is to buy the water connection hose. Sort of forgot that one. I'll get it tomorrow.

Kind of obvious that the tub needs to be re-glazed rather badly.

Now I really, really want to get the shower slider doors up. I think it will make a huge difference in the way it looks.

However, not being content with leaving it this way until later, I simply HAD to press on.

Yep, I just had to install a couple of the fixtures. As you can see, I still need to caulk around the edges of the tile, but you can start to get the idea.

So for the lasagna.

As usual, I had to start from scratch.

The sauce was actually started much earlier this morning and has been slow simmering most of the day. Here I'm going to reduce/thicken it and the noodles have just gone in their little happy bath.

So fast forward and I'll save you all the boring details. Here's the finished product.

Literally, as I type this, it is cooling just a bit so I can slice it up and eat dinner. It won't help my waistline one bit, but it sho will taste good!

So with that, I'm out to go chow down. Enjoy!!
