grrrr, there you think: wow someone used the forum again. Is it coming alive? Would be about time. But then you suddenly realize: bloody stupid forum-bots

spam marathon? XD

Shouldn't that be "canned pork snickers" the way spammers morph the language

Isn't there also some sort of "Spam-Bread"? I thought there was something like bread in Cans as well.

BTW I have a hard time to imagine sniggering pork, specially with caramel-top and choccolate coating...

hmmm, sounds delicious.

canned bread would be awesome.

If you really think so, have a look at this:

happy shopping

And here to round it all up:

Would you like to make your own?

"Boston Brown Bread" - 1 loaf

1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 rye flour
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup sour milk or buttermilk
1/2 cup molasses
1/2 cup raisins

1) Grease 1 lb. coffee can; line bottom with waxed paper. In large bowl, combine all ingredients; mix well.
2) Pour batter into prepared can; cover with foil and tie to can with string.
3) Place can on rack in deep saucepan; add boiling water to reach halfway up side of can. Cover pan.
4) Over low heat, simmer 1 1/2 to 2 hours until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from can immediately; cool on wire rack.
TIP: Release bread from can by opening bottom end of can with can opener.
TIP: Cut bread while warm with thread.
TIP: Substitute greased 1-quart casserole for coffee can. Cover with tight lid or foil.

sounds, well, strange, but as a student who always has to eat the same stuff at least three days in a row to use it up before it goes to waste and cant actually shop more than 2 days in advance, i approve of canned stuff. though i havent actually bought any cans yet XD. at the moment i can buy deep frozen stuff and put it in the snow

Tell me if you do. I will join you in trying it. Would be worth a trip through Germany and a great reason to visit you

i live at the other end of germany now though. but maybe we could meet in the middle, i.e. at sp's i'll check if i can find any, but i doubt it, this isnt america after all. might have to make it ourselves XD

I know that, that's why I need a really good excuse

Sounds more reasonable, true...

Well, that way the fun will last longer, I guess. Opening a can (usually) doesn't take that long

yep, so how about we meet in the middle, make bread, can it, open the can again and eat (or at least try to) the bread?

i have a recipe for bread to be baked in flower pots.....well unused ones.......

and about meeting at sp's... where? when? who?

Where: Whereever you are
When: surprise, surprise
Who: Probably Ratty, me, 1/2 cup whole wheat flour, 1/2 rye flour, 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal, 1 tsp. baking soda, 1/2 tsp. salt, 1 cup sour milk or buttermilk, 1/2 cup molasses and 1/2 cup raisins

and a can, obviously. and since we'll be meeting wherever you are, you are welcome to join the fun XD

And I hope I will be able to bring along my scarf... Only one Spider left It's not the nicest knitting, I have to admit, but it did work (up till now). And I did it all myself *proudproudproud*

ooh, you're knitting a spider scarf? that's so cool . i cant even do simple knitting in a straight line..

you're all welcome........except the raisins.......

I was really surprised that it is mainly only knitting "straight lines".

I wonder if it is possible to knit a bag for a mobile phone the same way but with the knitiing technique you use for socks...

Sorry raisins, you won't be invited... It's not my fault SP's an ingredientsist

Uh oh, so many cups to smash in half... Gladly if you smash them correctly you will get two of them from only smashing one

Uh oh, so many cups to smash in half... Gladly if you smash them correctly you will get two of them from only smashing one

.....and you can put them back together if you need a whole cup of some stuff......

I wonder if it is possible to knit a bag for a mobile phone the same way but with the knitting technique you use for socks...

.... if you're interested, i know a much better technique for knitting bags for mobiles or i pods with only two needles but them being bags nonetheless......

and sorry for being an ingredientsist but raisins are just plain evil, they're always trying to gain world-domination ..... and i won't have that in my bread, no sir!

Sounds thrilling. Can u use 3D-Technique as well?

weeeelllllllll.........

i've got this link from heather some time ago, which tells you how to do the pouch thingy, tells you how to knit and how to purl when knitting the pouch so with a bit of effort you should be able to work it out....

if you got problems, just give a shout!

Oh dear, I never thought I would be discussing about knitting... but ah well:
Did I get this right. You'r knitting both sides and then stitch them together?

nah,..... you just keep knitting back and forth but by knitting every other stitch and omitting the one between you'll end up having a tube already closed at the bottom.
if you want me to elaborate further, pm me and i'll try to make more sense

i haven't located any canned bread yet, but at IKEA they have instant bread dough in tetra packs. just add warm water, let the dough rise and bake. tastes rather nice, actually.

wow, it does sound... well... I mean it is what you normally do. The only thing difference is, that you have to mix up the stuff beforehand... So where's the big "innovation"?

that it's in a tetra pack? makes the whole mixing process a lot easier.

Ah so you mean you can actually add the water to the package, shake it, cut it open and use it?

yep, you open the pack like any other, add the water, close it (and hold on to it), shake it and then pour the mixture into the baking pan. dont even have to wash a bowl afterwards
