You read that correctly.

&nbsp;

Who knew this sort of thing even existed?

&nbsp;

When I originally approached Todd aka Birthday Twin Genius about a <strong><a href="http://www.diaryofalatebloomer.com/2011/03/15/day-168-its-more-than-complicated/" target="_blank">He Said/She Said cooking post</a></strong>, I envisioned our "guy food" to be something normal.  Like ribs.

&nbsp;

Normal Schmormal.  <strong><a href="http://606diaries.com/">Todd </a></strong>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 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 that 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;

<span style="font-size: medium; color: #800080;"><strong>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.</strong></span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>5:45 text message</strong></span>

&nbsp;

<span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong>Todd: </strong></span> How's it going on your end.  Rockin' the prep?

&nbsp;

<span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>5:58</strong></span>

&nbsp;

<span style="color: #ff00ff;"><strong>Me: </strong></span> Drinking wine with a hunkie man.

&nbsp;

<strong><span style="font-size: medium;">6:00</span></strong>

&nbsp;

<span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong>Todd:</strong></span> Lol.  I won't bug you then.  :-)

&nbsp;

<em>Wine, talking, kissing.  Kissing, talking, wine.</em>

&nbsp;

Mr. Tall Drink of Water and I then begin the prep.
