---------------------------KLINGON STEAMED BREAD--------------------------- 
      1 c  White cornmeal 
      1 c  Whole wheat flour 
    1/2 c  All-bran cereal 
      1 ts Cinnamon 
    1/2 ts Ginger 
    3/4 ts Salt 
  1 1/2 ts Baking soda 
    1/2 c  Walnuts, chopped 
    1/2 c  Dates, chopped 
    2/3 c  Powdered skim milk 
  1 1/2 c  Buttermilk 
    1/2 c  Honey 
    1/2    Orange; unpeeled 
      1 c  Rhubarb; chopped 
           Margarine; to grease cans 
      2    37 oz empty cans 
  
   Mix together in a bowl all the dry ingredients including dates and walnuts 
  (leave out only the buttermilk, honey, orange half and rhubarb). Put the 
  buttermilk and the honey in the blender. Wash an orange, cut off any price 
  or brand marks and cut it in half. Cut the orange half into chunks and add 
  it to the blender, being sure that you have removed all the seeds. Run the 
  blender until the orange chunks are chopped into little bits. Now add the 
  buttermilk mixture, along with the rhubarb chunks, to the dry ingredients 
  and mix well. 
   Pour immediately into greased cans, filling each can no more than 
  two-thirds full. Cover the filled cans with aluminum foil, and secure the 
  foil with a rubber bands. Place them in a large pot, on some kind of a rack 
  so they are not touching the bottom of the pot. Pour in hot water until the 
  bottom 2 inches of the cans are covered. Bring to a boil and keep the water 
  boiling gently for about 1 1/2 hours. 
   The pot should be covered and there should be a little steam escaping at 
  all times. Check the pot occasionally to make sure that there is enough 
  water left. 
   At the end of 1 1/2 hours, check with a skewer, right through the foil. If 
  it does not come out clean, cook for another half hour and recheck. When 
  the loaves are done, take the "hot" cans out of the pot. When you are ready 
  to serve, uncover a mold, shake the loaf out onto a breadboard and slice 
  it. Serve warm with butter or cream cheese.
