-Ridin' out the Recession Recipes
These recipes come from Mrs. Carolyn Davis. “Back in the day,” Mr. and Mrs. Davis were my second set of parents. Their son Jeff and I hung out together a lot…a whole lot!
Jeff’s Dad, Mr. Davis was tough. He looked tough, and when he grabbed a hold of you…you knew you’d been grabbed ahold of! He was tough! When we got a little older, and into high school, Jeff and I, but mainly me, would get into his “Cold Duck.”
They both are great people, and I really enjoyed being around them. Mrs. Davis fed me on numerous occasions and I always remember it being good. After seeing these were her recipes, it kinda’ hurt my feelings though. You see, she never served them to me, and this tells me that they’d wait until I wasn’t around, then they’d have them.

‘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!
