I was a regular patron of Miguel's on Shelter Island in San Diego. This is a great dip! I had lost my Recipe Card from Miguel's (they give away the recipe on little cards). So thank you very much for posting this recipe. My family all make this dip and we have found that if you use a double boiler you can make it without any chance of scalding the dip. Thanks again for posting this recipe.

Although I love to cook and bake, I'm MOST passionate about my family. Thirteen years ago, I married my best friend, and I believe we love each other more now than ever. We have three (of course, beautiful) children ages 7, 4 and 2 years old. We live in a small town (at almost 7,000 feet in altitude), and are happy to report that we live over 100 miles (one way) from the nearest WALMART! :)

<br>Besides keeping my family and friends well-fed :), I love to read and scrapbook. Our area is very well-suited to outdoor activities, so our family enjoys brisk, long walks or hikes, as well as challenging bike rides through our hilly terrain. (After bearing 3 children - and ESPECIALLY after locating this FABULOUS website - I think I'll have to make a determined effort to concentrate more on the exercise!) ;)
