I sure hope the title today doesn’t offend anyone because no one could have been a bigger dummy than I was, when Deb and I started canning our own vegetables, meats, fruits, etc.
Shoot, even Brian of the Canada Free Press suggested my login name to be… “imadummee!” So, one sees pretty quickly ole Dub probably ain’t “the sharpest knife in the drawer!” Even this is an understatement of considerable truth, because in regards to many, many, things…I am a dummy!
But first…congratulations to all those LSU “Tiger” fans out there. You guys took my Gators to the toolshed. This followed up a visit to the toolshed the previous week applied by the “Crimson Tide” folks.
Two weeks…two big losses, with those dern Auburn Tigers up next. Woe is me?
Today we’ll talk about canning peas. Deb and I enjoy doing it, but when they start coming in, you have some work cut out for you. You simply have to get em while the getting’s good! It is time consuming, but well worth the effort. Those little jewels taste so good anytime actually, but especially during the winter months when there is no fresh supply available.
In reality, I know of only two people that don’t like peas, and they’re both neighbors who live just down the road from us. I told Deb that we sure know how to pick a place to live, don’t we? Having neighbors who don’t eat peas is “right up my alley!” MORE FOR US!! LOL!!
Deb and I have been canning about 4 years now, but honestly, Deb wants NO part of the pressure cooker, and believe it or not, my Mother doesn’t either. They were both around pressure cookers blowing off the lids.
So, the pressure canning duty was handed to me. How is it that I’m always the “lucky one?”

‘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!
