However, to give you fair warning, as the Lovely Joelle puts it, I have the digestive constitution of a dog, so it probably wouldn't matter anyway. Around here we'll never get to experiment, since an open can of bean dip never lasts more than about 20 minutes (teenagers tend to do that). I'm usually lucky if I get to scrape some of the dried bean dip off the lid which is usually left on the counter for someone else to dispose of. Cheers! I forgot to mention that I don't even refrigerate the herring in sour cream sauce, and it never got me sick - so I'm guessing that bean dip is pretty safe. If it molds, either scrape off the mold or mix it back in ... most molds aren't toxic. Cheers! Stay on the beach. The natives over there are cannibals. They eat liars with the same enthusiasm as they eat honest men. http://www.cybertiki.com [ Edited by: cybertiki on 2004-12-19 22:26 ]
