His Chickens Get Drunk

Here is a cute little story that I found published in a paper on "The Gateway to Oklahoma History" website.  The paper it was published in was Anadarko Daily Democrat (Anadarko, Okla.), Vol. 8, No. 165, Ed. 1, Thursday, August 12, 1909.

The article about a barnyard speakeasy that Farmer Foos' chickens were housed in and how they got drunk.  Enjoy!

Wee Wees

So I guess you might be wondering what Wee Wees are, (I know that I was) ....they are in the cake category, of course!

I ran across this recipe in a book that was printed in the 1800's, for the benefit of the Confederate Relief Bazaar.

I noticed that the recipe didn't provide the temperature that the wee wees should be baked at.  I think it would depend on the size of the wee wees.  Here it says to bake for 20 minutes in Laplander pans.  If the pans are small, I say bake for 20 minutes at 350-400.  If the pans are large, I would recommend baking for 40 minutes at 350-400.

What is a Laplander pan?  Its a popover pan.  A popover pan resembles a muffin tin or pan, but it is made with deep, tapered cups with more space between them to promote proper air circulation and efficient baking.

I hope you have lots of fun with your Wee Wees!
