You read that correctly.

&nbsp;

Who knew this sort of thing even existed?

&nbsp;

When I originally approached<a href="http://606diaries.com/" target="_blank"><strong> Todd aka Birthday Twin Genius</strong></a> about a He Said/She Said cooking post, I envisioned our "guy food" to be something normal.  Like ribs.

&nbsp;

Normal Schmormal.  Todd suggested Dishwasher Lasagna that he heard about through his sister.  Yes, you actually "cook" the lasagna in the dishwasher.  This was all I needed to hear.

&nbsp;

Let the kooky kitchen experiment begin!

&nbsp;

We started with this recipe: <a href="http://www.wikihow.com/Cook-Lasagna-in-Your-Dishwasher" target="_blank"><strong> http://www.wikihow.com/Cook-Lasagna-in-Your-Dishwasher</strong></a>.

&nbsp;

I invited girlfriends to join me for dinner.  No takers.  I didn't take offense.  Most people find eating food cooked in the dishwasher a bit too strange.  To each his/her own.

&nbsp;

As fate would have it, Mr. Tall Drink of Water aka <a href="http://www.diaryofalatebloomer.com/2011/03/21/day-174-first-first-date-in-almost-a-year/" target="_blank"><strong>my first "first date" in nearly a year</strong></a> sent me a very romantic email (in Portuguese!) the morning of Day 175.  He cyber-whispered beautiful sweet nothings (in Portuguese!) and asked if I could come out to play at any time this afternoon or evening.

&nbsp;

How could I resist?  I invited him over for Dishwasher Lasagna.

&nbsp;

He didn't skip a beat and accepted.  He dances to the beat of my drum.  That's a good sign.

&nbsp;

(Attention and Alert!:  Ladies, I would NEVER recommend inviting a guy that you met off the Internet to your home on a 2nd date.  No way, no how.  Remember this one came with references through a mutual friend who thinks quite highly of him.)

&nbsp;

Mr. Tall Drink of Water arrived promptly at 5:30, the start time that Todd and I agreed on.

&nbsp;

Minor delay:  When you invite Mr.  Tall Drink of Water for dinner, and you start of the evening with a bottle of Spanish wine, time stands still.
