The avocado however--I think I'll draw the line there. For some reason, I never did get along with avocado. ^_^;; Oh, I'll eat it if I have to, but I'd rather not, given the choice.

Alternatively you can use avocado, but then I'd switch out the pesto with light sour cream, or go with guacamole instead. Some jalapenos would be a welcome addition too... ^_^ anyways, again, great pics! Looks so appetising...

It's always great picking up new food ideas. I always have sundried tomato in oil at home, hehe, but the capsicum will probably need prior planning. Won't the cucumber be icky when stuck in a panini press though? I remember making a mistake of sticking a panini with lettuce in---eeew! The lettuce turned pretty icky after getting heated. Had to fish it out. I've never tried rocket pesto--haven't even tried rocket yet either. I'm sure it's available here but I'll probably have to trawl the delis and gourmet shops. But I don't mind trying the one with the anchovies since I'm more of an eatanythingarian. @lalalady7

They're pretty good for vegetarian sandwiches ^_^ OH!! And spread some basil pesto on it too! Rocket pesto works as well - but it'll have to have anchovies in it (which for some people, negates the whole vegetarian thing). lol I know you're capable enough not to need tips - I just suddenly got a craving for it and wanted to see pics! XD /2 cents Very nice ^_^
