Memere to the Rescue!!!

Ok, so I won't lie...I was a little hungover on Saturday. I had two big nights before where I was on opposite schedules of the sun. BUT, I had a cookout Saturday night at my friend Tim's house in Kingston. I told him I'd make my sun-dried tomato & feta cheese dip for the event. It would have been nice if I could have golfed with them before the cookout but something told me I wouldn't really be up for 18 holes that day! SO...now that I have my new kitchen and all my appliances back, I set out to make my popular dip. I put all the ingredients into my food processor and to my surprise...it didn't work. This is step 1.



So then I decided I'd put the ingredients into my smoothie machine as this dip is best pureed. Well I put most ingredients in but they weren't puree-ing...so I added milk to mix it up better. To my delight (not really) the spout was up, so milk started pouring all over the kitchen counter and floor. "Hockey Puck!" I shouted. Just kidding...but here's Step 2.



So, my last option which I knew wouldn't puree, but figured it was my best shot. I was also saving this to make something for my mom first, but I really needed it. My Memere's vintage electric mixer. Oh, I've been dying to use this forever! And well, it may not have been the usual consistency for the dip, but it worked. And it was great to use it, see that it beat out my two "new" appliances, and well, I can't wait to make more with it. So here's step 3.
