Boy, you want to talk about a busy week? We’ve had one here at Dub and Deb’s lately. We apologize for no more posting than we have done this past week, but literally time was of very short supply.
First off our peas started coming in…with a vengeance. Those dern pea plants were putting peas on thicker than hair on a dog’s back! We have been very blessed by the number of peas our garden is providing for us.
We’ve been picking (started last Sunday), shelling, and canning peas through Friday night. We’ve been up until 12 or 12:30 each night by the time we would get our last pressure cooking done each evening.
We then thought we’d have a 2-3 day reprieve, but drove by the garden Saturday morning, looked, and saw we had more ready…5 more 5 gallon buckets worth! Looks like Monday is gonna be a big pick day as well??
Deb’s doing outstanding! She’s been right beside us picking the peas, and Dale just can’t figure out how she picks them so fast. Seriously, she can pick some peas in a hurry. Plus, when it comes to shelling them, I believe I’d put her up against most anyone!
There may be some out there that can “out shell” her, but I’d be willing to bet that they’re few and far between. That dern woman can put some shelled peas in a pan! Our crew, Red included, just can’t believe how fast she can pick and shell.
I knew all about her ability in this department already, as prior to marrying her, this was but one test she had to pass before I said…I do! You see, women are a lot like peas…you got to know when, and how, to pick em!
The second problem we had in regards to our posting this column was our internet service was down for a couple days. Said they were having problems with a satellite. By us living “off the beaten path,” we have to use satellite for our internet service…no cable anywhere near us.

‘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!
