Great Depression Cornbread Cake

From The Wise Little Hen

The History

I've talk about just about everything I can regarding this short, but there's still more food to cover.

The Food

Cornbread and cornmeal muffins are basically the same thing. At least here in the south they are. Up north, however, folks tend to add sugar to thier cornbreads making them into like cornbread pound-cakes. So in order to differentiate from the last recipe, here is a sweet cornbread cake from New England from 1931.

Ingredients

2 cups cornmeal

1/2 cup flour

1/3 cup sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1 egg

1 1/2 cup buttermilk

1 teaspoon of baking soda

4 tablespoons butter, melted

Cookware

Greased 8x8 pan

Mixing bowl

Measure cup

Large spoon or spatula

Directions

Combine milk and baking soda and set aside

Mix corn meal, flour, and salt in a bowl

Add the egg, milk mixture, and the melted butter

Mix all together till batter is formed

Pour batter into greased baking pan

Bake for 20 minutes at 450 degrees

And there is your dessert for the corn feast.

We've only one more recipe to go and we will be done with The Wise Little Hen.

Next up, Coffee.

In 60 days, Donald Duck will be 90 years old. I doubt I'll be able to keep up a challenge for that long, but I'll give it a try. Let's start where it all began: The Wise Little Hen

Belle's Tales of Friendship

This is very hard to find so i managed to get myself only a copy with russian dub. Knowing the language is a pretty useful skill considering that a ton of B-tier (and lower) stuff can be easily found with russian dub but not in the original language. So this is a film that’s a part of the Sing Me a Story with Belle series. Which is just showing old cartoons owned by the company with new…

@guttersniper​​ inquires:  ℧: a damp towel against flushed, feverish skin, but it’s mutt doing it for sam….cuz they take care of each other no matter what

SICK WHUMP SCENARIOS. always accepting. 

Sam knows it was bound to happen eventually, no matter what Al said. It’s almost a comfort-- knowing that, in between fleeting moments of sleep and waking, nightmares and actuality, sense and nonsense, there would be Al, pacing the length of the hotel room ranting and raving. Even if he’d been blowing this whole thing way out of proportion-- people died from this, Sam!-- he could count on Al hating being helpless and cooped up, especially when they were all stuck somewhere in California in 1968. He doesn’t blame Al for being antsy and wanting to get out fast. Too many memories. Too many ghosts. 

But there’s someone else he could always count on, too. A shadow at the edge of his periphery, little, too-big boots scuffing the carpet, the slow and deliberate scratch of pencil against paper.

Now, it’s a cool, gentle touch to quell the flames dancing across his skin, lapping at his face, as he wakes up from a muddled jumble of something that he can’t remember.

He chases the relief as he comes back to himself, lands back in this body, and opens his eyes halfway to see a familiar face, with a much-too-serious expression so firmly set on his features that it may as well have been carved out of stone. 

Sam finds Mutt’s hand-- it’s always cold, but now it feels frigid-- and encloses it in his own, giving what he hopes is a comforting squeeze. He doesn’t know how long they’ve been there, how long he’s been like this, and he doesn’t know why the simple gesture hurts so much, ache radiating out of every sinew, but he doesn’t care. He’ll stay like this, fighting with everything he has against the fatigue wanting to pull him back under, for as long as he needs.

“It’s gonna be okay, Mutt,” he murmurs, voice strange from underuse. He reaches up with his free hand, tucking an errant strand of hair behind his ear. “I’m gonna be alright. Al’s just bein’...” He tries to find the right word, before settling on, “...Al. Not gonna leave you. I promise.”

[thisiswhereikeepdcthings]

Fic things I will never have enough of/get over:

“Oh no, they’re hot.”

“Great, now there’s two of them.”

See above but with more swearing and feelings of dread and impending doom

BAMFs with swords

Old wise person causing 90% of the chaos

“They’ve never met in canon.” “Actually, they’re dating.”

“They’re mortal enemies.” “Actually, they’re married.”

The keeper of the braincell

Sharing one braincell but they lost it

The cinnamon roll goes feral

Tiny feral child and their supportive, enabling, non-parental background adults

“I’m your problem now”

“Welp, guess I’m a parent now”

Accidental world domination

Competence

Competence kink

Calmly sipping tea while everything behind them is on fire

Trying to be a good, supportive adult but you have no point of reference so you end up giving a sword to a ten-year-old

Time travel

Person A and person B start dating and when they tell everyone persons C-Q are confused because haven’t they been dating for like three years now and persons R-Z thought they were already married

*does something previously thought to be impossible* “What, like it’s hard?”

Platonic besties that will help hide the bodies

Fake dating

Accidental baby acquisition

Accidental baby acquisition but they’re a middle-aged to senior adult with like five thirty-something-year-olds that are now their children

Crossovers that shouldn’t work but do

“I need help” “I’ll grab the shovel” “Not that kind of help”

“I didn’t know where else to go.”

Well-written non-canon pairings for characters that have other firmly established canon pairings. Like, fully alters the entire story line non-canon pairings. But done in a way that feels like a reasonable possible outcome.

A protagonist with a million problems to solve still taking the time to be kind

Forehead kisses

Time traveller going apeshit and fixing everything preferably in as Mary-Sue a way as possible

OP character who is oblivious to the fact that they are indeed OP

Character who spouts off increasingly concerning details of their life while not realizing everyone else’s growing concern or the fact that they’re probably about to be mother-henned for the next decade

Character who chooses a parental figure and informs said parental figure of this new development with little to no forewarning

Strong, stoic character is actually the most chaotic one there

Everything in the chaotic portion of the alignment chart

Getting back at a bad guy in as petty a way as possible

Time travel with two or more time travellers who don’t realize they’re not the only time traveller

The guy everyone thinks is going to beat up all the bad guys sitting back and watching the person previously believed to be as strong as an uncooked noodle absolutely demolish them

Any situation where characters play hot potato with a position of great power. “Congrats, you’re king now.” “Not if you can’t catch me, I’m not.”

Unexpected language skills

Unexpected skills in general, particularly if they’re as niche as hell

Two extremely competent individuals who lose all brain cells when within a close proximity of each other

Fixing problems on accident

Fixing problems on accident while actively trying to cause problems on purpose

Surviving primarily due to spite

Lucas [M] - The King of the Woods

Stuck up, arrogant, and just one half of an irritating duo. Lucas always has to have the last word and the last thing anyone needs is to hear him whine about not getting it. It doesn’t help that the staff like him, the liar. Just be sure to stay out of his way or else.

Asher [NB] - The Sleeping Angel

Completely checked out of life, or at least, that’s what Asher wants everyone to think. There’s just a little something more hiding under that quiet exterior but Asher isn’t the type of person to open up to just anyone. They’ve got demons in their closet, and they’ve come along to camp for the ride.

Jack/Jasmine [M/F] - The Wise Old Tree

If anybody can round up a group of rowdy kids and teens together its this counselor. Calm and collected, they're there when the situation loses control and everyone needs to be working together on the same page. But this personality wasn’t perfected over night and even the calmest of seas can swallow those around them below.

Ethan/Ella [M/F] - The Friend of None

What some may call everyone’s best friend, they're at this camp for one thing and one thing only. To make a summer that’ll last forever. Leader of the pack, they know how to get the populous together and have a good time. But even the party animal has to get tired at some point and it's those moments when the real them emerges.

Ruby [F] - The Little Red Hen

Soft-spoken, polite, and kind to a fault. Ruby is the person you want when you need a comforting hand. A true healer and guiding life even if she is a little shy around others. But all healers have a story, Ruby just doesn’t have the cure to make it all go away.

William/Willow [M/F] - The Undisguised Wolf

They say if you gaze into the abyss, it tends to gaze back and tells you what you’re made of. That’s how it feels when this quiet storm enters a room, the room grows cold and the fun dies out. No one knows what lurks behind those eyes, and no one knows for sure if they’re the eyes of a monster.

Oliver/Olivia [M/F] - The Two-Faced Lover

Excitable, sweet, just the happiest bubble around. Around most people at least. But really, they're just an actor who knows how to play their part. No one knows the real them and maybe that's starting to have a toll on them. But it’s not like they can suddenly do a 180 and show the world who they really are. At least that’s what they like to think.

.....and seven others to discover! (Character Bios Here)

[russellsppttemplates]

could i request the scenario where pregnant reader gets injured quite badly and one of the drivers is really worried and protective over her! like she badly burns herself at a christmas party trying to help one of another drivers kids or she trips over really badly? just some hurt/comfort !! 🪼☀️

Note: since I've already done the one where she trips, I went with the other one! Also, I'm not sure how it works in other countries, but when my mum had something similar happen to her, the lady at the pharmacy was enough to take care of it!

Cw: reader accidentally burns herself, pharmacy visit, medications

The McLaren Christmas party was in full swing as you felt someone tug on your dress, looking down to see who you could only pinpoint to Oscar Piastri's carbon copy, "hey Lucas! You look very handsome today!", you complimented the little boy, seeing him immediately blush. Like his father, little Lucas Piastri was also a shy boy, but in the buzz of the whole team, he managed to befriend you when he went up to see the races when his parents weren't around, "I want to bring some tea for mummy. She's at the table with my little brother and daddy is talking to a man who won't stop talking", he snickered, directing his eyes. Truthful to his word, Lily was holding her youngest son on her arms while Oscar spoke to one of the sponsorship representatives, so the conversation naturally grew long.

"Of course, darling. I'll carry the pot for you, it's very hot and you might burn yourself", you said, praising his request for help as you grabbed the pot with boiling water from the table. Because not everyone likes the hot drink, the catering team opted to have people get the teapots themselves if they wanted the drink.

You weren't sure how it happened as you had been steadily walking to the table while keeping and eye on Lucas, maybe a little tap from someone and your newly found need to adapt your center of gravity almost daily made you trip slightly, the pot losing its lid and leaving the scalding hot liquid to fall on your arm. While you were able to protect Lucas from being affected, your arm and wrist stung as two older men came to your help, "here, here!", one of them pulled the tray away from your hand as the other checked your arm, pulling you to sit on his chair.

"What happened?", you heard your husband's voice, worry etched in his voice as he looked at the reddening skin in your arm, "tea, she was carrying it for me", Lucas pouted, sitting next to you, "I'm sorry, auntie Y/N, I didn't mean for that to happen", he apoligised.

"It's not your fault buddy" you sighed, squinting as someone held bottle of cool water on either side of your arm, "but I think i need to get this checked out, make sure the skin isn't too burnt and needs something else", you looked at Lando, sending him a quiet signal to get Lucas to his parents and take you somewhere.

Leaving the dinner abruptly, you kept touching your skin, hissing when you hit a particularly hurt spot, "baby, don't do that, you might hurt yourself more", Lando said as he drove to the nearest open pharmacy.

When you got there, your husband was a mother hen, asking the lady who was taking care of your skin, applying a cooling cream and then doing a loose bandage, "until you get home, keep it bandaged up so it feels secure, but then you should air it out so it heals properly. It's not a deep burn, but you were wise to come and get it treated", she tranquilized, "there's no need to worry about mummy or baby, you'll be just fine", she stated, taking off her gloves and taking care of the creams and medications you needed to take home.

When you arrived home, Lando helped you take off your dress, careful with the tender skin as he placed kisses everywhere he could, "Oscar just texted me a drawing from Lucas wishing me a speedy recovery, look! It's a Formula One car by the word speedy, at least I think it is", you said, noticing a frown on your husband's face, "I'm sorry this happened", you attempted, hoping it would cease the crease on his forehead.

"It's nor your fault, and it's not Lucas' either", he explained, "I don't like seeing you hurt. You were being brave for him, but I saw the tears when the lady put the cold water bottles, and how you hiss everytime you move your arm. I don't like seeing you hurt, and little one doesn't either, she's been kicking non stop", Lando pouted, caressing your bump as he helped you put on your pyjamas pants, "if it's any consolation, I'm going to need you to be glued to me so I can do some daily things", you teased as if he hadn't been glued to your side since he heard the baby's heartbeat for the first time.

"How bad does it feel?", he asked, looking for your honesty, "it's okay. The local anesthetic cream is helping, but I could do with some cuddles", you said, allowing yourself to be sorry about the situation for a little bit, "cuddles it is, then".

Donald Duck's Cornmeal Muffins

From The Wise Little Hen

The History

As I've been mentioning these past few reviews, The Wise Little Hen is Donald Duck's first appreance.

Orginally, his voice actor, Clarance Nash, would use the Donald Duck voice in a stand up rutione over the local radio. Only there, the character was a goat.

Disney asked him to take the goat voice and apply it to thier duck character, and thus Donald Duck was an instant hit. The character was quickly incorporated into the Mickey Mouse gang and has been the company's most popular IP ever since.

The Food

For the bread course, we have savory cornmeal muffins from the great depression. This is an old post card family recipe from 1935.

Ingredients

1 egg

1 cup buttermilk

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 tablespoon of melted shortening

1 1/2 cups cornmeal

1/2 teaspoon salt

Cookware

Mixing bowl

Whisk

Measuring cup

Greased muffin tin

Directions

Preheat oven to 420F

Combine egg, buttermilk, baking powder, and melted shortening into mixing bowl and stir together.

Now add cornmeal and whisk together till batter is formed. It should have a consistency similar to pancake batter. If it's too thin you can always add more cornmeal.

Pour batter into greased muffin tin

Bake for 10 to 12 mins, or untill toothpick comes out clean.

Remove from pan, let cool a bit, and serve with butter.

We're still not done with The Wise Little Hen's corn feast. Next up, dessert!

short headcanons, writers block went heavy :((

you first met a bar—he fell first, and then fell harder again—! head over heels the first time he spotted you :3 watching you glance over at simon, he shooed the blonde away and immediately got to work on a pickup line, watching you roll your eyes as he offered to buy you a drink—ended up with him drunkly babbling and slurring, and you beating him in pool;night ended with him getting your number!

messaged you later that week, clarifying who you were!! immediately became a regular thing, chatting back and forth—during his deployments mainly! your official, first date was to a cutesy little café :3

you kissed him first. he became obsessed and had to bite his knuckle after

dating wise; he is OBSESSED WITH YOU. huge himbo energy, need something done! he’s doing it and smiling afterwards as you pat his head, he’s so helpful yet so silly and dumb around you— just babbling contently about his day as you do your thick eyeliner!

lets you teach him about the different types of goths, romantic, traditional—he is so invested! sitting with you in your room and listening to faint sound of siouxsie and the banshees play in the back; grooming at his mohawk!

he tells everyone he meets about you; is so proud he pulled you!

nicknames? crow, bat, mama hen, sugartits!

he’s head over heels, you brush him off! jade west energy?? clueless young man falls inlove with disinterested, confused alternative kid, he loves that you ignore him; that’s why he keeps going. he takes it as a challenge!

let’s u pierce his ears for him! feels super edgy afterwards :3 flexes them!

tattooartist!soap?? definitely tattoos his name onto you, little bat beside it !! loves watching you gawk at the tattoo in awe! kissing him afterwards for his hard work!! he is just there to please. that’s all.

if reader is tall?? BYE!!! he loves if you wear heels or boots which also increase your height, he’s (fairly) tall, so when you have to lean down slightly to kiss his cheek it makes him swoon!! but he’ll always try to bulk you out, and he will. never gets embarassed if you’re taller than him, he’s not insecure.

black cat reader, golden retriever soap.

he listens to punk music, he’s definitely a punk—so he lets you listen to his music, and vice versa! let’s you listen to dead kennedys with him in the car, and you let him listen to bahaus in the bedroom! loves that you’re different, loves his freaky chick.

you let him help you with your makeup, applying the pale makeup onto your face, helping him do your eyeliner afterwards—telling him how thick you want it, and to contour your nose with eyeshadow after!

TELL HIM ABOUT YOUR PIERCINGS!!! let him touch them and ask how much they hurt, let him ask you why, let him kiss them after

please ruffle his mohawk and call him your puppy. he’s melting into you and babbling dumbly, the scotsman clinging onto you like a koala!! he’s just jdididkdm!

nsfw next?
