Re: Rising food and fuel prices From: Gary The revolts in the middle east didn't start because they discovered Twitter, it's because the cost of food grains has doubled in the past 9 months. And here's a little trivia. According to the EIA, the US turned 5.1 billion bushels of corn into ethanol in 2010. For perspective that 5.1 billion bushels would give 1 lb of corn to 780 million people every day for a year. Just sayin'

Reader Comments for Ridin’ Out the Recession:

Reader feedback From: Larry Dear Dub and Deb, Made me laugh. Several summers ago, about 50 plus or minus, I took my trip to the "Big Lake"! My Uncle Bob had been in an auto accident and was in a wheel chair. He could drive but not get around very well on his own. He was a little crazy on a good day! Anyway, his Dad had a trailer park on Marathon Key and Uncle Bob decided to drive from De Land to Marathon with myself and his three small children. He sold it as a better place to convalesce for awhile. I think he wanted to get away from my Mother’s younger sister! We had one of those crazy trips that all kids love. We stopped at all those eccentric roadside tourist traps. We saw wigwams, snake pits, alligator farms, the largest Magnolia Tree, biggest Cypress, we saw it all! We all decided to go to the "Big Lake".

Dave’s Cheese Grits:

-From Riding' out the Recession Dave Rankin is a good friend of my Mama’s and Dad’s, and all the family as well. Dave’s a great guy and loves my Mom to death. Dave’s been in the banking business for many, many years, and I believe may have been all his life. I was going through Mama’s recipes, and ran across one Dave had tossed in the hat. I don’t think I’ve banked with Dave before but got to thinking this morning…”You know what Dub? Things are indeed tough right now, and with that said, these tough times may continue to deteriorate, and literally become really, really, tough times!”

Ruthie’s Chip Beef Dip:

-From Riding' out the Recession This recipe is a dip and it’s a dern good one too! My Mama has made this numerous times and it’s always a hit. We were going through some of Mama’s recipes this morning and there it was, laying on top in one of her recipe books. I pointed out in the yard and told Deb, “LOOK!” Soon as she turned to look, I grabbed this recipe & took off upstairs! Gotcha Deb! Simple, quick, economical, and oh so good!

Dub: Camping Out Alone…for the first time…Poor Dude

Good morning to ya’ll this morning. Welcome back to Ridin’ Out the Recession in Miz Judi’s Kitchen with Deb and I both. I sure hope everyone’s doing fine today! I was checking ole Deb out this morning listening to what she had to say to you good people. I think she did a fine job with her column this morning, on a subject that we both feel very strongly on…our children and our grandchildren!

Become more involved in your children’s lives

Welcome back to Miz Judi’s Kitchen. I hope all are doing well today. Thank you for coming back to visit with us once again. It’s another beautiful day here in Florida, sunny and warm. Now I would like to take a few moments to talk with you all about our kids.

From: Barbara Hi Dub & Deb,
Love your new site. Congratulations on your success. I live on the North Carolina coast and went through a series of hurricanes in the late 90s, as well as having to “suit up” for several since then that bypassed us. I thought a few things that I learned might be helpful, as we had extended periods of time with no electricity or water:
