Is it possible to steam milk w/o an espresso machine?

You can get a decent stabilized foam using the method I described at http://coffeebreak.today.com/2009/02/03/steamed-milk-wout-a-steam-wand-yes-you-can/

Basically, you pour cold milk into a covered jar, shake it vigorously for about 30 seconds, then microwave it to heat it up. You don't get "microfoam" but you do get foam that stays foamy long enough to enjoy your cappuccino.
