directions
- Squash your dates into a 2 cup (500ml) container. The healthy foodie uses a beautiful cut glass jar in her recipe. I didn't have one of those, so I crammed those puppies into a grocery-store tupperware knockoff. Pour the water over all. Cover with the airtight cover. Let sit overnight , or at least 12 hours.
- Wake up, have a coffee, walk the dog - then -- Place all ingredients in your handy-dandy Thermomix. If you don't have a Thermomix, stop and cry for a moment, then get out your blender or food processor. The recipe will still work - you just won't be as cool as you could be.
- If you're using the Tmix, mix 1 minute/speed 4.5. Scrape down. Mix for 1 minute/speed 5.5. Scrape down. Repeat as necessary. It took me 3 minutes in all. Resist the urge to crank the speed up to 8 or 9 - the high speed just flings dates everywhere. If you're using the blender or food processor you'll want to mix and scrape until you have a smooth paste - probably 5-8 minutes.

Although I am a US citizen, I have spent most of my adult life living outside of the States. I've raised my family all over the world - and I have to say that my four kids are pretty terrific!
I am always looking for recipes that only call for basic ingredients. Because I don't live in the US, I often can't find packages or this, or jars and cans of that, even certain spices can be tricky.
My favorite cookbooks are the New Joy of Cooking, and anything by Nigela Lawson.
My passions are cooking and eating - big surprise there.
I have no pet peeves, I don't keep any peeves around long enough to make them into pets.
I especially love baking, but I'm trying to get away from that - the carbs are starting to stick to my hips a little too easily.
I took a Sushi making course recently. It was a lot of fun; I now know that I need to GO OUT for Sushi, not make it myself.
