Well, Christmas is right around the corner. To most this means large gatherings of family and friends, and this in itself means grub…and plenty of it!
Here at our gathering at Mom and Dad’s, we put on a pretty good feed bag as well. Over the last few years, Mom made the switch from Christmas lunch, to Christmas breakfast, and I’m here to tell ya, this has been one, big hit! The whole family has bought into this, whole-hog!
The main dish is a breakfast casserole, but she supplements the casserole with another dish or two as well. You know, so you don’t go home hungry. In regards to our Mama’s, we all know they don’t want you leavin the table and your belly ain’t full yet.
So as I said, my Mama might just throw a couple other things on the table to prevent such as that. Normally this is scrambled eggs, country ham, biscuits, red-eyed gravy, grits, sausage balls, mounds of bacon, sausage gravy too, sliced tomatoes, and a heaping bowl of fruit salad.
We get enough…but just barely. If we keep it down to 3-4 plates per person, it kinda stretches it out some. LOL!
You know, isn’t this a wonderful time of the year? I mean, the entire rest of the year is great, and since Deb’s ordeal, we’ve come to realize that EVERY day is a blessing, no doubt, but this time of the year is special.
By our string of holidays being fairly close together, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years, this allows our families time off from work at the same time, and our children are “school free” for a little while. This in itself helps all that much more in bringing families together.
Enjoy this time.

‘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!
