It was a golf clap kind of weekend, as far as projects are concerned.
Firstly I wanted to install the dimmer switch in the kitchen. Done it before, should have taken less than 30 minutes. Took all necessary safety precautions but the wiring was a bit different. When I switched back on the power, the outlet was making a loud buzzing sound (loose connection) and the dimmer switch made the lights flicker. Fail. Damn. I could not fix the buzzing. I turned off the power and reversed efforts, putting the old switch back. No buzzing. Safe electrical outweigh desire for slightly less bright lighting. Secondly, we were a group of six on Saturday for some boardgames, so figured I'd make some snacks. I had read this recipe on Food52 and remembered it, mostly as the reviews were so plentiful and positive. Roasted Fennel and white bean dip. It was a beautiful day for a walk so no issue with the special stroll to the Glebe for fennel bulbs and I enjoy our pit stop pint along the way. I didn't mind working away through the recipe steps (roast fennel, roast garlic, flavour olive oil for white beans, blend, bake ), thinking the dip would be fabulous. For all the steps and details, it was pretty bland. We ate it, but the dip inspired talked about all the ways it could be better - fewer beans, more lemon, more garlic, more cheese. I might try it one more time with adjustments, but probably not. My first and perhaps last foray into the culinary wonder of hot dip. Until next time!
