Date: Sun, 9 Nov 1997 17:44:17 -0500 (EST) From: Tari Fanderclai To: yduj@CS.Stanford.EDU Subject: Look, I remembered Content-Length: 1119 Oatmeal bread 1 1/4 cups boiling water 1 cup quick oatmeal (uncooked) 1/2 cup margarine 1 cup white sugar 1 cup brown sugar 2 eggs 1 tsp vanilla 1 1/2 cups flour 1 tsp. cinnamon 1 tsp. baking soda 1/4 tsp. salt 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional) Pour boiling water over the uncooked oatmeal and margarine. Let stand till cool. Then add the white sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Mix well, then add dry ingredients. Pour batter in one large loaf pan or two small ones. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes to 1 hour. (I have no idea what the cook might have meant by "large" and "small" loaf pans. I use two pans that are 7 1/2 x 3 3/4 x 2 1/4 inches. I once tried using a large pan and making just one loaf; it was two hours before the midde of it passed the toothpick test, and by that time the outsides had a most unacceptable texture.) >From _Riverside Recipes_, by the Albany United Methodist Women, around 1974. It has a paper cover approximately the color of that of _Wired Women_; should we make something of that? Albany is a little bitty town in Illinois, right on the Mississippi. You care.
