sour milk pudding

at the pt cabrillo lighthouse, there is a restored house giving visitors a glimpse into the life of the lighthouse keepers. pt reyes also does an excellent job of portraying the difficult lives these people led. here, there were many period "props" on display, including this cookbook, opened to a recipe for Sour Milk Pudding. i found this interesting since this area was comprised so heavily of dairy farms, yet these people would also have been looking for ways to extend the life of their food. the recipe also calls for "stale corn bread."

unfortunately, i shot with a wide open aperture in the dark house, and my center of focus was a little high, blurring the lower part of the text.
