Home tips on Ridin out the Recession I would like to share something else with you guys today, and once again this comes from Sandra in Mississippi, “Hey Sandra…what’s up?? Sandra sent to us a Folk Medicine from Vermont, and the timing couldn’t have been better!! Why you ask? Well it seems that the Koonti plant is poisonous, and there seem to be many varieties of plants that are very similar in appearance to the cattails, which are also poisonous.
Although these similar plants don’t have the big brown heads found on the cattails…and this is the defining difference, be careful. I’m beginning to lean to the side of caution. Oh, I’m gonna cook em up, and I’m gonna eat some, but I believe I’ll let ole Dale try out my first batch! LOL!! Don’t you folks fret this one bit! We here in Miz Judi’s Kitchen believe in safety and preparedness! So with that said, I just want you all to know that we’ll not allow ole Dale to take the first bite of them cattail shoots, without having a big ole jar of Miss Sandra’s “Folk Medicine From Vermont,” on hand!! So…without further delay this morning, here’s “Folk Medicine From Vermont,” via, Mississippi! For all your readers in CFP land.

‘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!
