Good morning, and welcome back to Ridin Out the Recession in Miz Judi’s Kitchen. Thanks for droppin back by to visit with us!
As you guys know by now, Deb and I consider ourselves very fortunate to be “Southern born, and Southern bred.” We’re proud of our heritage, as I’m sure others are in regards to the parts of the Country they’re from. It’s our way of life, and actually, the only one we know.
With this being said, you know also in regards to our recipes, most have a Southern heritage, and this is what we’ll discuss today…our Southern cuisine, and its roots.
What is Southern cooking? To me, Southern cooking is an accumulation of all different types of food products that have evolved from many different areas worldwide, and were brought here by many different groups of people.
The recipes that have survived to become an integral part of our lives today have been in existence for many, many years now, some for centuries.
For example the English finally settled in North America in 1607, in Jamestown. They came fairly well prepared in their food stocks. Upon arrival they had dried beef, salted pork and fish, and even settled in with cows and chickens.
In the winter of 1609-10, they were hit with one of the worst winters in hundreds of years. This particular winter was known simply as, “the Starving Time.” During these times, archeologists have determined that their diet consisted of many unusual, and even appalling food stuff.

‘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!
