Good morning and welcome back once more…to Miz Judi’s Kitchen! I hope this finds everyone healthy and happy today. I was sitting around and wondering what I might share with you today, and I happened to think about my brother and the day he brought that darn horse home. Well, I guess you could call it a horse, that thing was so skinny you could read a newspaper through it.

Well, with him being the only boy, of six girls, you might say he was just a little spoiled…maybe. Now, he’d been wanting a horse for a while, and there was an old man that lived about 10 miles from us, who just so happened to be trying to get rid of a horse that he had. Just like I said, Ted had been driving Mama crazy over getting him a horse…any horse. As long as he had four feet, a mane on top of his head, and a tail hanging off the other end, well, that’d do just fine! Well, my Daddy had passed away, and poor ole’ Mama had her hands full just trying to keep our place up and feeding and clothing seven children. There wasn’t much money, and times were hard, but we stayed fed and had clean clothes on our backs, and we had shoes…as long as I wasn’t droppin’ them out of a school bus! (Canada Free Press) Mama had told Ted, no, you can’t get a horse, because she knew he would not take care of it, and she sure had more to do than worry about feeding a horse. Ted had gone off with one of his friends to the store, and they happened to run into this man that had been trying to get rid of this ole skinny thing, but all Ted could see was a HORSE! So, he got the bright idea to go ahead and get it, and be dogged what Mama said! Oh, that boy was right proud of himself, he’d done gone and got himself a horse! More...

‘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!
