Corn Pudding

Corn Puddin' 
Recipe from the VV5th ward cookbook
1 can cream of corn
2 eggs, lightly beaten, 
3/4 cup sugar
1 Tablespoon cornstarch
4 Tablespoons butter, cut into small chunks
         (we cut the butter down to 3 Tbsp and probably could have cut it to 2 Tbsp.)
1 teaspoon vanilla

Beat eggs, then add rest of ingredients.  Bake at 375 degrees F until it bubbles (normal is around 30 minutes). 

We were surprised at how good this was-we would probably only make it once a year but it was definitely tasty and different. This is from a neighbor who lived in the South.  She served her mission there decades ago and an old southern gentleman made this every month for the missionaries, telling them in was an old southern recipe.

Sunday Randomness #303: Georgia O'Keeffe bringing Sunday light

 I've checked out this book before now.  Georgia O'Keeffe: An American Perspective by Lauris Morgan-Griffiths, published in 2009 by Quercus in the UK.  I love the quote on the back: "I found that I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say in any other way-things that I had no words for." Georgia O'Keeffe, 1923

For this post I picked Pedernal from 1941-1942 that is on display at the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe, New Mexico http://www.okeeffemuseum.org/
I also like the explanation with this picture: "This flat-topped mountain, O'Keeffe's view from her Ghost Ranch house, was her favourite mountain and where her ashes were scattered.  It was a view she never tired of painting.  She portrayed it many times in different colours, different seasons, each time overlaying her mood and imbuing the view with a distinct atmosphere - as if by doing so she could tryly embody it.  'It's my private mountain.  It belongs to me.  God told me if I painted it enough, I could have it.'"
