Good morning and I hope this finds all of you doing just great.
Well, ole’ Deb and I have had a busy today, and looks as if we might be busy again tomorrow, too. Our garden is really putting out the produce now, and our canner is running pretty hard.
First though, I have to give Deb a hand this morning for such a fine supper last night. I was piddling around out in the garden when she hollered, “It’s ready!” At my age anymore, many things don’t get me too excited, but those two words still do, and it looks as if they always will!
They simply mean that it’s time for you to wash up, cause the vittles are being laid out on the table, and again at my age, there ain’t many things much more exciting than that!
Now Deb can cook, and when she lays out a spread, you can count on everything being really good. Yesterday was no exception. It wasn’t a big meal, but it was a GOOD meal.
I washed up and sat down to some sliced tomatoes right off the vine, fried eggplant right of the bush, a big mess of peas we’d canned out of last fall’s pea patch, and pork chops.
She’s been marinating chicken for a long time in lemon juice for 24 hours, and man it’s great. When we went down to the ranch, we grilled some chicken breasts that she’d marinated, and salted and peppered up.
My brother and his wife Patty ate with us, and as soon as they tasted the chicken, they immediately asked how we had flavored it. Deb just told them to marinate it in lemon juice. Both said they’d start, because of the flavor. Honestly, it is good done this way.
Last night, though she marinated those pork chops in lemon, and I really liked the taste. She cooked them on the George Foreman, and those chops with the vegetables she had were just really good. She only marinated the chops for about an hour.

‘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!
