Bathroom Faucet and 1st March Bake

 Yesterday was a rainy day and I thought the perfect day to finally fix my leaking bathroom faucet.  First I was reading you can just replace the cartridge.  I had never done this before but let's give it a try.  It was quite easy.


On my way to Ace.

Ace didn't have my cartridge but sent me to a plumbing store.  Nope, they didn't have it either.  They told me to replace the faucet.  Great, on to Home Depot.  I picked out a brushed silver faucet for markdown to $99.  Great let's get this replaced.

I loosened the current one handle faucet only to discover I needed hoses.  Argh!!  I was done for the day.

The rain turned to snow as a storm and winds moved through last night.  This morning it was cold and icy.  So of course I wanted to try the recipe I picked out.  Chocolate Caramel Bars.


New day hopefully better luck.


I followed the recipe to make caramel.


I put the base down and baked.


Top with chocolate chips and the caramel.


Another top layer


Looks pretty.


Tastes ok.
I won't make again.  Not a favorite.
Here's the ingredients: light brown sugar, butter, flour, baking soda, salt, quick oats, chips and caramel.
No vanilla or flavoring - and that is what it tastes like.
The chocolate and caramel are good.


After baking I needed the pan to cool so let's finish this stupid faucet.  
One trip to Ace and the had the hoses.  Less than an hour and the faucet was in.
I like the new design.  

I do not know how to change the drain/stopper thing so I will be letting Chris know I need help.

No more drips.  One bake down.  

Until tomorrow.
