Replacing the bathroom sinks

 Yet another project finished in the new house. The bathroom sinks were plastic and the facets were cheap. Here is the sink that we put in both bathrooms. We got matching sinks.
 The new facet for both bathrooms. So much nicer then the other.
 Master bathroom sink area.
 The boys bathroom sink area.
 Decided to put the facet stuff on first.
 David was a big help with installing the sinks.

 Step one done. These sinks look so much nicer.
 Getting the hoses attached.
 One down one to go.
 All ready to install.
 Getting the old hoses and sink ready to remove.
 We needed a little extra something to get the old sink out.
 Spreading out the adhesive for the new sink.
 Aryan putting the sink in to see what else needed done before connecting everything.
 Having to remove some of the drain plugger. It was too long.
 Removing more because still too long.
 Putting in the new hoses.
 New hoses.
 Sink in now connecting hoses.
 All connected.
 New sink almost in.
 Readjusting the sink.
All done. They look so much better than that cheap stuff. Both boys helped. David actually put in the sink in their bathroom about 95% by himself.
We are slowly getting the new house the way we want.
Until next enjoy your day.

Souperburger aka Sloppy Joes Recipe

 I can't remember where I got this recipe. This is a fast and easy way to make sloppy joes. Everyone should have these ingredients on hand. I am not a sloppy joe fan but the guys like them and this is what David requested for his birthday.
 I doubled this recipe again, but I will give you what it takes to make one batch. You will need 1 pound of hamburger.
 It of course needs to be browned.
 While the meat is browning go ahead and get the sauce ready. You will need 1 can of tomato soup. Any brand will work. We prefer Campbells.
 You need 1/2 cup chopped onions. I didn't have any so I used a little over 1/4 cup of dried.
 You will need about 1 tablespoon of mustard. I just guessed.
 A dash of black pepper.
 When your meat is browned you need to drain it.
 Now add to the sauce mixture.
Mix in the meat and then heat through.
Here is David's plate. He also wanted onion rings. I didn't eat this. I ate some broccoli cheese instead.
I know there are several recipes for this but this is the recipe we prefer since there isn't any added sweetness that a lot of people like.
Hope you give this try and enjoy your day.

Spaghetti Bake Recipe.

 Here is another recipe that I grew up on. My mom thought it was funny because I liked this but didn't really like spaghetti. I don't know where my mom got this recipe. I also doubled this recipe. I will give you the ingredients for one.
 I know this is really basic but you need to start boiling your water for the pasta.
 The recipe calls for 3/4 cup chopped for one, but I use what I have on hand and that is what I have here. I have also used dried onions.
 You will need 1/2 cup chopped green pepper. You can omit this my mom does.
 1 pound of hamburger browned. For some reason the recipes calls for you to brown this in 2 tablespoons of oil. I don't want any more fat in my food so I omit the oil.
 My skillet is full.
 The water is ready so now I am getting the pasta ready. Don't cook it all the way. Recipe calls for 1/2 pound.
 You will need a can of cream of chicken soup or your favorite.
 One can of tomato soup.
 Add both to a bowl and mix wel.
 Add 1 mashed clove of garlic.That is about 1 teaspoon. I didn't double this part because one of the pans was going to someone else I didn't know if they like garlic.
 Mix this in as well.
 Don't forget to spray your pans.
 Once the meat is brown add the onions and peppers. You can do this at the beginning but I like my veggies a little crunchy.
 All mixed together.
 Drain the pasta.
 Add the meat mixture to the soup mixture.
 Add the pasta.
 Mix altogether and add 1 can of water.
 Now you will be adding 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese. I used regular cheddar cheese.
 Mix that all together.
 Pour into your pan.
Top with more cheese. You will bake this in a 350 degree for about 30 minutes. You can freeze this also.
I hope you give this a try. Until next time enjoy your day.
