Good morning, and how are you all today? We hope all is well for each and every one of you, and welcome back!
First off this morning, it was brought to my attention by a reader of our column about bread and butter pickles. I had listed 5 cups of sugar twice. This was in the ingredients section of the recipe. This was an error on my part…you only use 5 cups, sorry for any confusion.
I guess you could use ten cups of sugar, but I imagine that they’d have to be called…”Really SWEET Bread and Butter Pickles!” LOL!
Well, ole’ Deb and I had contemplated going back to the ranch this week, as her next appointment is this coming Monday. At this time we should find out the type of treatment she’ll be given.
With this in mind, we were going to go back to the ranch for another small getaway, because we’re not sure exactly what these next few weeks will bring. Also we were kinda’ hoping that the bucks might start showing up in velvet, but it still might be a little early for that.
What stopped us from heading down there was…the garden. Man alive, it is turning out some vegetables now! We worked our tails off out there yesterday!
I started picking butter beans (limas) about 8:00 in the morning, and Deb joined me about 8:30. Dale got in the garden to help us at 9:00, and then Red messed up big time! He showed up with Corey, a boy that works with him, about 9:30.
They had been to check on a job, were close, so they decided to run in where Red could see his Mama. Well, he got to see her…every time he stood up to straighten out his back a minute, because bending over and picking them beans would “stove his back up.”
Deb stayed with us until about 10:00, then she went to start snappin’ green beans for me to can. Dale and I had finished picking them yesterday.

‘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!
