I knew you knew

I forgot to put in green food coloring - to give it that deep green --

so add  4 drops -- or enough to make it green

Green Cake - Pistachio pudding cake - Great -

Green Cake -Pistachio Cake -- or Watergate Cake - (I don't know the reason)

1 pkg - Duncan Hines Yellow or White cake mix - yes this is what I love - the other cake mix is to dry
1 pkg - instant pistachio pudding - dry -
Pour into a bowl

Add:
3 eggs
Water -  How ever much water it calls for on the box.

And I have to use flour - because I live in high alt.

Mix as you would any cake mix ---

grease and flour a bundt cake pan.

Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes - or until you can insert a toothpick and it come out clean.

Take it out of the pan -  Top with powdered sugar.

This is an easy cake -- I take it everywhere -- I get a lot of compliments -- And it is easy --

Corn beef & Cabbage & Potatoes -- Hurray!

I love Corn beef & Cabbage & Potatoes -- This cooks all day --- and is oh so easy ---

1 pre-packaged corn beef -- with pickling spices included

Put this is a pan of water ---submerged - Boil this all day ---

Take out the corn beef --- set it on a baking pan --- on the upper layer coat with mustard - and then sprinkle with brown sugar -- But it into the oven -- boiler on -  Let the open -with the mustard get golden brown and bubbly.

Now with the left over stock - add potatoes and cut up cabbage -  I usually cut a head of cabbage into 6 to 8 pieces, and the potatoes are peeled and whole.  Cook until they are soft.

When serving a put vinegar and butter on the table and serve it all together.

We just love it.
