Steamed muffins anyone?!
I got this recipe off someone's blog and these steamed banana muffins are to die for, they're just so soft. And u ladies probably already have the ingredients in yr kitchen so no harm trying.
Ingredients:2 eggs100g sugar (about 1/2 cup)2 ripe bananas, mashed
150g self raising flour (1 cup)1/8 tsp baking soda
75g oil (1/4 cup or 5.5 tablespoons)-Sift together flour and baking soda.
-In another bowl, whisk together eggs & sugar until ribbon stage. Mix in the mashed bananas and beat until combined.
-Gently fold in flour mixture(figure 8's) and oil so that u don't deflate the eggs+sugar mixture.
-Pour batter into muffin pans lined with muffin cups
----->I skipped the pan and just used those aluminium foil like paper cups with the muffin paper in it, it worked.
-Steam over high heat for 15 minutes.Voila.

There will be a silent auction of bricks painted by local artists. Proceeds from the auction will be donated to the Psychiatric Survivors Archives of Toronto (PSAT) for the purpose of purchasing commemorative plaques detailing the history of the 19th century patient-built wall and other aspects of unpaid patient labour.

REMEMBRANCE OF PATIENTS PAST
Historian Geoffrey Reaume remembers previously forgotten psychiatric patients in his groundbreaking study, Remembrance Of Patients Past, by examining in rich detail their daily life at the Toronto Hospital for the Insane (now called the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health - CAMH) from 1870-1940. Psychiatric patients endured abuse and could lead monotonous lives inside the asylum's walls, yet these same women and men worked hard at unpaid institutional jobs for years and decades on end, created their own entertainment, even in some cases made their own clothes, while forming meaningful relationships with other patients and some staff.
Using first person accounts by and about patients - including letters written by inmates which were confiscated by hospital staff - Reaume weaves together a tapestry of stories about the daily lives of people confined behind brick walls that patients themselves built.
GEOFFREY REAUME is an associate professor in the Critical Disability Studies Graduate Program at York University.
RUTH RUTH STACKHOUSE is a proud member of the psychiatric survivor community. She studied theater in New York City and is currently Theatre Director of the Friendly Spike Theatre Band. A long-standing activist, she has protested against institutional confinement and the exploitation of patient labour. www.friendlyspike.ca

THE STORY BEHIND THE WALL is a mixed-media and cross-disciplinary project created by artists of the Workman Arts Project for Scotiabank Nuit Blanche 2009. Six artists chose six former patients from the Toronto Hospital for the Insane as depicted in Geoffrey Reaume’s book Remembrance of Patients Past – Patient life at the Toronto Hospital for the Insane, 1870-1940. Their goal was to create figurative sculptures to creatively and expressively tell the stories of these individual patients from the past who have mostly been confined to a history of silence.
