Welcome back to Ridin Out the Recession. We hope everyone is doing just fine.
Yesterday, Deb and I went down to Port St. Lucie to visit with our ole buddy AP, his wife Heide, and their daughter-in-law, “Flip.”
AP writes the column Evolution/Revolution that you see on our site every so often. AP is 91 and will be 92 this coming month, I believe. What a character this guy is!
AP and I met through a mutual friend, and began corresponding back and forth. This went on for over a year and a half. We’ve been going to meet for a while now, but something always came up, whether it be on our end or his. It seems the older you get…the more Doctor appointments you have. Imagine that!
We took down a meatloaf, some barbequed chicken, cream 40 peas, rice, cornbread, squash pickles, and Mom’s chili sauce. Heide had baked a brisket, smothered with onions, and bread. Good Lord did we have a good lunch.
Heide, who’s German, had a pack of sausage that is made by a German butcher in NYC. Flip brings it down, or has it shipped to them, and she gave me a few links to try out. Heide says it’s very good sausage, and I can’t wait to try it out!
Then, once we got home I saw something wrapped up in foil, and asked Deb what it was? She told me to go ahead and open it up, and good gracious, what a surprise…an almond cake! I told ole Deb to stay the heck out of it cause she doesn’t need the sugar, and that I’d take it upon myself to get that dern thing outta the house…just give me a day or two!!
I’d never seen an almond cake before, and what a good looking cake as far as presentation goes. If you were raised in a barn like I was, and haven’t seen one before, they are really good looking cakes. I tasted it last night and told ole Deb, “Don’t worry honey, you ain’t missin a thing. It don’t taste worth a flip!” LOL!
To be honest with you guys today, I REALLY don’t think she believed me, but two-three days after it’s gone…she’ll forget all about it anyway!

‘Ridin Out The Recession With Dub and Deb in “Miz Judi’s Kitchen’!
Note to Readers: There are a few things that Dub doesn’t know but one thing he does know is that the word ‘Riding’ (as in Riding Out the Recession) is spelled with a ‘g’ at the end. But Dub not only walks the walk, but speaks like he is: down home, true blue, and plain speakin’ country folk.
Dub and Deb are both native Floridians, live in Central Florida, and run a small business as well. They have five children, and seven grandchildren.
Both love to cook, love to laugh, grow a garden, and generally try to “aggravate” most anyone around them basically…all in good fun, of course!
