I just finished a pistachio muffin, and it was amazingly delicious.
Almost ten years ago, I found pistachio muffins at my local chain grocery store, and I was smitten.
That particular store only bakes them in March (for St. Patrick's Day), and I pined for them 11 months out of the year. I'm not very good at waiting.
Today, Grace and I were in a different grocery store with my mom and my sister, when my sister picked up a package of muffins. The muffins were green.
"Hey!" I said, "Are those pistachio? I thought you could only get pistachio in March." "Nope," my sister replied. "I buy these all the time."
And there they were.
I bought a pack, and half of the muffins are already gone.
I'm going to need to find a recipe because they are expensive and everyone here loves them.
Anyway, eating the green muffin made me think of the green pudding I like to make.
Like many of my recipes, I don't know where I got it.
I think it's one of those recipes that is floating around everywhere.
It tastes a lot like the muffins, and it's so much cheaper.
I also don't know why it's called Watergate Salad. If you know, please tell me in the comments.

I do love these types of salads. I like them because, when the meal is done... you can have more of the salad as "dessert". 🙂

What luck to find the muffins somewhere else - that must have made your day! (I feel like I've seen green muffins in some stores around here too.) My family has lots of favorites we search for for years, so I know that feeling. 🙂
