Good morning guys, and welcome back to Miz Judi’s Kitchen this morning, with Dub and Deb. We’re hoping all is well, and ya’ll are in the midst of a great weekend. We got about ½ inch of rain Friday. It wasn’t quite what I’d of liked to seen, BUT, its rain and we’ll take it!
To be honest though, we’d been really dry, and it’s amazing the difference in everything after a shower. Even the grass in the pastures, are showing some green amidst all the brown.
The amount of pollen that was washed into the drive was an eye-opener, and the dern stuff has been the cause of some discomfort to Deb and I for the past few weeks. Itchy, runny noses, and swollen eyes from time to time. My ole eyes would water and get red, and I know half the people in town were probably thinkin Deb had been slappin me around some…AGAIN!
Well, there’s been some changes in our garden in the last week. We took out everything we had growin for the time being and fed it to the cows…broccoli, cabbage, mustard, and collard greens. The cold snap we had a couple weeks back knocked the broccoli for a loop. It was just beginning to get right too!
We did get three good messes off it, but it had been hurt bad enough it wasn’t doin anywhere near like it should’ve. The same with the cabbage. Although it wasn’t hurt quite as bad as the broccoli, but, it too wasn’t performing for us properly, SO, it came out as well.
Our greens…goodnight a livin at the dern greens we’d made! We’d put up a ton of them, plus gave friends and neighbors greens till we had them hollerin Uncle too! We honestly couldn’t give anymore away.
I don’t know how many we made total, but like I said, our neighbors would see us comin down their drive, pull the shades, lock their doors, and get REAL quiet when we’d knock. Just as if…NO ONE WAS HOME!
After they drove by and saw we’d taken everything out of the garden, they started stopping back by. We’d say, “We came by ya’lls house, but we don’t believe you guys were home, then they’d laugh and say, “OH, we WERE home, but just didn’t answer the door…we thought you were bringin us MORE greens!” LOL!
It WAS almost that bad! LOL!

‘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!
