Spent Grain Bread

From http://www.michiganbeerblog.net/2011/11/spent-grain-bread.html

If you are a home brewer and are interested in how to put some of that spent grain to good use, I highly recommend trying this recipe. It took about 30 hours from start to finish, but man, was the end result worth the wait. The tender inside of the bread makes it great for sandwiches or spreads, and the sweet and malty spent grain really shines. If you are not a home brewer, find a friend that is, and go ask them for some of their spent grain. Seriously. Right now.

Note that you can freeze spent grain, and then thaw it out again before using in this recipe. It’s best to bring it up to room temperature before you start baking.

Sponge:

It is given that @mrb prefers the inverse of c && s && n && !y. To calculate his musical preference regarding combinations of the set g = {c, s, n, y}, we apply DeMorgan's law to c && s && n && !y, producing: !c || !s || !n || y. This implies that @mrb will be happy given the presence of y in any combination, but if y is not present, neither can c, s, or n.

So, in the app, I do something like this:

  Item.all(:order => sort).select { |item| item.to_s.downcase.include? search.to_s.downcase }

Where sort is an array of fields to order by. By default (with lazy-loading enabled), the query output from DataMapper looks like the following (on a table of 8601 rows):

   ~ (0.142849) SELECT "id", "created_at", "updated_at" FROM "items" ORDER BY "artist", "title", "year", "label", "format"

x = 1
a = [2, 1, 4, 3]
[x] + (a - [x]) #=> [1, 2, 4, 3]
