JD I am looking at the basil pesto dip

thanks guys I will try fundj's recipe.  Not sure what it means by "cooked" chickpeas - I just usually use the ones straight out of a can - not sure if they are cooked or not.

will let you know how I go thanks 

I am going to a beachfront party this afternoon and am going to make some dips and whatnot.

I would like to have some sort of warm snack food as well and was wondering what I could make that would stay warm.

If I made little meatballs or something like that would they stay warm in the thermoserver or does that really just work for foods with liquid in them?

thanks all

yeah I cant stand bloodyron either.  what a pig he is.  Of course when he is promoting his villas and trying to get people to stay there he is nice as pie.

As well as being addicted to this forum I am also addicted to Bali forums 

I just read a lovely story on one of the forums about a lady and her husband and daughter who had booked a trip to bali for Xmas.  She recently changed the flights to leave a few days later and come back a few days later.

Yesterday they got to the airport to fly over when they were told her passport was 2 days short of the required 6 months validity (after you fly back) and she wasnt allowed to go

She rang the passport office and was told that due to the backlog and the Xmas break etc etc she wouldnt be able to get a passport until the 28th December at the earliest! She was going to miss most of her holiday and certainly miss Xmas with her hubby and daughter.

This morning she waited on the steps of the passport office at opening time and a lovely lady there helped her and got her a new passport within hours!

she flies out today at 5pm.

Such a lovely story which brought a little tear to my eye. - So I thought I would share it

I did know that method cookie but didnt think it would work with the sticky dough so I didnt bother.  Next time tho - cheers 

Lol yeah but I don't want to do it once too often and naff my machine
