Your pIan for 2026 has changed, review your choices

I think the best approach for the patio project would be to start with a solid base layer of gravel before laying the pavers. We used that method for our backyard and it's held up really well through the rainy season. The key is making sure you compact each layer properly and allow for adequate drainage. You might want to consider using polymeric sand for the joints because it prevents weed growth and keeps everything stable. Let me know if you need help picking out materials this weekend.

The lasagna recipe you asked about actually works best if you let the sauce simmer for at least two hours. I usually brown the meat first with garlic and onion, then add crushed tomatoes and let it reduce slowly. The no-boil noodles save time but you need to make sure there is enough moisture in the sauce so they cook through properly. I would recommend using a mix of ricotta and mozzarella for the filling and letting it rest for fifteen minutes after baking before cutting.
