   I am all over the Internet and am very easy to find.  I mean, I have   
   three public websites, am an amateur radio operator, love to leave   
   comments all over social media, and as such, I know people csn find me.   
      
   After all, I lost my right to privacy when I signed the dotted line.

   I get junk mail constantly for the former occupant of my apartment who   
   must have donated to every Democratic cause in existance.  Thankfully,   
   when I get my regular mailman, he knows to just toss it for me.

         Title: Trail Mix Tin Can Quick Bread   
    Categories: Dupree, Lunch   
         Yield: 8 Servings   
      
         2 c  Dried fruit bits   
         2 c  Hot water   
         4 ts Baking soda   
     1 1/2 c  Sugar   
       1/4 c  Vegetable oil   
       1/2 ts Salt   
         3 c  All-purpose flour   
         1 c  Chopped walnuts; or pecans   
       1/2 ts Cinnamon; optional   
       1/2 ts Almond extract; optional   
      
     For fruit - dried cranberries, cherries, blueberries, currants or   
     raisins Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.   
      
     Grease and flour two 1-pound coffee cans or 2 9x5-inch loaf pans and   
     line bottoms with wax paper. Grease and flour the wax paper.   
      
     Place the fruit bits or raisins in a large bowl, cover with the hot   
     water, and stir in the baking soda. Cover with plastic wrap and leave   
     overnight to plump. All of the liquid is used in the batter, so don't   
     drain.   
      
     Mix together the fruit bits or fruit or raisins, soaking water,   
     sugar, oil, salt, flour, and the nuts. Stir to blend. Add the   
     cinnamon and almond extract if desired. The batter should be thick   
     enough to spoon. If thin, add a small amount of flour.   
      
     Spoon the batter into the prepared cans, filling between 1/2 to 2/3   
     full. Push the batter down into the bottom with a spatula. Bake 1   
     hour, or until a deep, dark brown.   
      
     Remove the bread from the oven and allow to sit for 10 minutes before   
     slipping them out of the containers. Let the breads cool completely   
     on wire racks. When completely cooled, return the breads to the cans   
     and cover with their plastic lids or wrap tightly in plastic.   
      
     They will keep for 3 or 4 months stored in the refrigerator.  Makes 2
