Country Fun

Seed to Cup experience at Piliani Kope Farm… Consider picking organic coffee beans on a gorgeous scenic farm above the Pacific ocean, then learning the roasting process and tasting the delicious end result. “Coffee” By Greg and Susie Stille

Just Baked Chocolate-Banana-Pineapple wine-pudding cake

Ha!

So moist.
1 Yellow Cake mix
1 instant chocolate pudding mix
4 eggs
1 cup oil
1 cup warm water
1/2 cup Maui Splash
1 large apple banana sliced

Blend all together for 4 minutes on high speed in my Kitchen Aid mixer.

Pour into oiled bundt pan and bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees 55 minutes.

Cool and remove from pan with a good tapping.

Can frost or not.
Mix powdered sugar with cocoa powder and booze to consistency you like. Ha! Drizzle over cake.

My black Russian cake gets vodka-Kahlua in the frosting.

This one will get Maui Splash as the liquid in the frosting.

Happy Sunday, everyone.
What are you up to?
I’m watching the Waltons with mother-in-law while hubby is trimming trees outside in his crane truck. Such fun…

Successful Slip Coverers I made

When you have dogs…

You love removable slip covers

I created these by tracing my couch with muslin as templates for each section, then pinned together and basted to fit. I preshrunk the fabric of course then made piping too. I’m amazed after several washings how perfectly it fits.

Well, almost perfect…

Buddy loves this bed.
