Searching for Krokaner / Bridge Cookie Molds (and Wow! I see so many familiar faces!)

[Anne P Mitchell]

Wow...I cannot *believe* all the familiar faces I see here! (Yay!!!)

I know that this is a long shot, but of *all* the places that I thought someone might have an inkling..well, really this is the only place...

I am looking for a krokaner (a/k/a kro kaner, or bridge cookie) mold. These are Swedish / Scandanavian / Danish cookies that are baked on forms that look much like upside down french bread forms, only they are 4 to 6 inches wide. Once baked, the cookies are in the shape of a semi-circle (or a bridge), and iced and decorated for Christmas.

You can see a picture of some here:

http://cookingrut.blogspot.com/2008/12/bridges.html

If anybody happens to have some hanging around in their attic, I'd love to buy them from you. :-)

And, how the heck *are* you guys??

Annie

I am: mom, fathers' rights advocate, email policy attorney, and mom again!
I am no longer looking for Lorna Taylor, Sumi Furiya,
or a carved oriental zodiac table, because I found all of them!!
How cool is that??

[Nancy2]

Hi, Anne, LONG time no see. I am glad you are still here. ;-))

Could you use a fat wooden rolling pin to lay the cookies over? You
could keep it from rolling by putting scrolled up foil next to it on each
side.

N. (I guess you would have to borrow some in order to do a batch of cookies.)

[Nancy2]

Another idea, probably pretty cheap...from a recipe online, that says lacking the
forms, a 6 inch stove pipe was used, by cutting it in half lengthwise.

Get a piece or two of metal stove pipe, 6 inch diameter, that is the length of your cookie
sheets...take it to a local machine shop and ask them to cut it in half.
Around here, a nice smile and a "please" usually gets a project like this done on
the spot with no charge.

Anyway, worth a try, and you will have your own forms.

Hi Annie! Sorry, no have anything like that.

A Mom Again? Oh boy, you've been busy!
It seems to me you can easily make your own arched cookie forms from
ordinary tin cans... cut the rolled out dough into appropriate sized
rectangles and drape them over a tin can... set a bunch of tin cans
into a sheet pan so they won't roll about, or with tin snips cut
through the tin can and open it to suit by spreading its legs. ;)

Good to see you again, Annie... don't be such a stranger... and Happy
Holidays!

[Anne P Mitchell]

I FOUND THEM!!!!! The one place in the country that used to sell them actually still has them, just in limited quantities, and so they are not listed on their website!! (I emailed their info address last night, and this morning got a response!)

Nancy - great to see you again!

Sheldon - I was wondering if you were still around! As inappropriate as ever, I see ;-)

My son is actually 17 already! (That's the 'again' - when I first started posting I was referring to my (much older) daughter.)

I'm actually super-active on Facebook these days (https://www.facebook.com/AnnePMitchell in case anyone wants to connect there) but I'll try to come by here more often now that I'm re-connected!

I was just showing my boyfriend Shankar's post about alcohol not fully cooking out of stuff last week! (is he still around?) And was just looking at our RFC cookbook a couple of weeks ago!

Has the vegan meringue recipe made its rounds here yet? If not, I'll post it - it's mind-blowing!


Warmly,

Anne

this might work, upside down, but a bit expensive unless you are making a
ton of cookies or will use it for other purposes:

Says the criminal woman-stalker and self-confessed post-forger who
impersonated sf, posted all her personal information, including her
cell phone #, address and age, and then publicly admitted to doing so:

She should call the cops. I've already publicly admitted it is me so
a conviction should be a piece of cake and then forging would stop.
So what's stopping her? I think she suffers from Bovism - she just
loves the attention and drama and screw the rest of the group.

Only because you cower there in mortal fear of being booted by the admins.

Sheet metal flue pipe is already made with a longitudinal seam that
snaps together, it's shipped in the opened state (several nested) to
save space and to prevent damage... very easy to cut to length with
tin snips or even household scissors... thing is I don't feel
galvanized is food safe, perhaps there's plain steel:

Ha... easy for yoose gals... just undo the top two buttons on your
blouse and let your cleavage do the smiling! ;)

>Anyway, worth a try, and you will have your own forms.

I'd rather use empty tin cans. Can even use perforated french bread
baking pans, just use them upside down... this may work:

[Nancy2]

Shel, those baguette bread forms are a good idea...I thought about those while
I was out doing errands today.

But your can idea is a good one, and essentially free.

N.

[Brooklyn1]

Yes, I would try the tin cans first because it costs nothing
considering those tins would otherwise go in the trash, and I'm pretty
sure it would work as there are so many different size cans... I just
bought a case of Bushs beans in 55 ounce tins, I bet they'd fill the
bill. Sometimes I feel guilty tossing those nice tins in the
recycling trash... but I just stomp them flat and that's the end of
them.

For the record, I never once even considered sleeping with you. And
you know that. You're the one who somehow got the idea that I was
going to move in with you - and you posted that to RFC just out of the
total blue.

After having met you twice at casual austin.food gatherings 2 or 3
years ago and not giving you any indication that there was any sort of
romantic interest in the least, you somehow twisted that into MY
MOVING IN WITH YOU?

That was just way too Psycho for me. I sat there at stared at the
screen for at least 15 minutes wondering, WTF? That was just way too
spooky. I've met weird, semi-psycho women before but you win, hands
down. Mapi of austin.general still holds the male title, but at least
he announced his psychosis right there lying on the floor of the bar
at B.D. Reilly's rather than romantically obsessing over me for 2
years.

Needless to say, you need to come to terms with what happened and why
your mind works that way and stop making up excuses for your fixation
and disappointment before we become the next Yoli and Michael. I'd

prefer you use a sniper rifle on me from a few hundred yards away.
There you go - a reason for you to buy yet another gun and ammo.

And Jeremy, I was just tired of your decade of bullshit and visions of
grandeur about all these things you're "working on" or have not done
in the past. Even posting a call for meetings with imaginary people
about imaginary projects of yours at "the normal time and place", as
if you are somebody important with a life. I'm pretty sure you're
manic depressive mixed with habitual liar.

Why, is he an alkie, or mixed up in one of those kooky religions where
they don't let you drink alcohol?

It has "made its rounds," and it is only mind-blowing in the sense that its
