Thanks matt.  to_yaml worked great.

The underscores...
I use hash_behavior = merge and i've found that if i define parts of the 
dict across different files then a statement like

dict1: {{dict1}}

will fail with a "recursive definition detected" message.  I was being 
defensive.  In this case, it worked fine removing the underscores from the 
vars.
