Re: Red to the rescue From: Mark Well I tell ya;
If it wasn't for such good parents, there is no way I could have turned out like I did. All credit goes to you two.
A lot of people could learn many things from two great people like my parents.

Coverin’ the Bases Reader Comments:

From: Kimberly: I enjoyed your article, however, I just wanted to let you know, hybrid seeds will reproduce, but they will produce a plant true to one of the parent types, instead of the hybrid that you purchased. I would suggest that people do purchase hybrids, just be prepared to harvest something different next year!

Food storage, gardening, home canning

Hello, and welcome back once more to the Coverin’ the Bases section of Ridin’ Out the Reccesion! Well, if you’ve been reading our column, this is about trying to help people understand the importance of living simply again, in many ways like our ancestors years ago.

Red to the Rescue

Good morning, everyone! Welcome back to Ridin' Out the Recession. I hope all are well this morning and thanks so much for droppin’ in! Well, I’ve got to say I really haven’t had a good last couple days. We had a paving job we thought we’d complete in one day, well, it lasted three. Not really our fault, but the depth of the asphalt we were milling out exceeded our bid.

Reader feedback on Coverin’ the Bases

From: Sandy I have just read your article talking about canning breads. I am into food storage and have canned for years. I have never heard of canning breads (until now) but would love to find out more about it. Could you let me know where I might find some recipes or more info about that. Thanking you in advance.

Self-reliance in these tough economic times

Hello everyone, and thanks for dropping back in for today’s Coverin the Bases! I hope everyone is doing well. Today we’ll continue discussing the checklist Deb and I had put together in our attempt to become more self-reliant in regards to the tough economic times we’re all faced with. This is by no means the “how-to manual,” of survival and we don’t have all the answers or profess to. This is merely suggestions to you folks of the concern we have, and what we’re doing to help ourselves if our economy continues on its present course.

Barbara’s Chicken Casserole and Barbara’s Easy Cobbler

Hi Dub and Deb, I've been reading your columns daily and enjoy them very much. I love the recipes. I grew up in the rural south, so many of these recipes are familiar to me and its nice to see them again. I have a couple of recipes that I thought I would send along, just in case you might be able to use them. Keep up the good work. Barbara

Deb: Embarrassed at the Restaurant…or, What Kept Me From Hurtin’ Em?

Hello and welcome back to Miz Judi’s Kitchen! As you already know, our main goal is for us all being able to keep… Ridin Out the Recession. I hope this finds all of you well and happy.

Dub: Our Oldest “Son” Michelle, or…So She Thinks!

Good morning everyone! I hope you are all doing just great, and ready for another story about our kids and some of the laughs we had when we’d all be together. As you know already, Deb is my third wife. Don’t ask me, it just seemed during my earlier years I couldn’t keep it together in regards to women? I still find them difficult to understand and still don’t know very much about ‘em, but I guess I’ve learned enough by now to know I probably never will!

Reader Comments From Coverin the Bases

From: Johnboy I've had a food saver vac. system now for 10 yrs. [many different models]. They work great/tell me you’re coming over for dinner..take a steak out/put it lukewarm water/20 mins later ready for grill..one week chicken breast are 3.99 pound, next week on sale for 1.99#. Buy a family pack or two, freeze ‘em up...get the picture?? Never had freezer burn//wash them out good and re-use//always cut the bag a little larger than you need so you can re-use.

How much food do you need for a year?

Hello again, and welcome back to Coverin’ the Bases! I hope this column has been as much help to ya’ll as it’s been fun for Deb and me. In this column we’re trying to share what limited knowledge we have in regards to actions we’ve taken personally in our attempt of Ridin’ Out the Recession. We hope so far we’ve at least gotten you to consider the importance of becoming more self-sufficient in your own lives.

Gardening Reader Comments:

From: Kathleen D&D, 
Honestly I don't even know how people live without gardens. We have several gardens on our 7 or so acres and we supply ourselves, family and we contribute to a CSA program. (Community supported agriculture)
We also grew enough to do several farmers market a week. But that was before my kids got their own jobs, and now we can't work them like we did. There's nothing like going out to the garden to pick supper.
Love this column everyday!

Ridin Out the Recession Reader Comments:

From Kathleen: (whom we’d asked if she was Amish) D&D,

 I am not Amish. They are a free people and I a wish I was. It seems the thing that separates me from the Amish is electricity so I often refer to my life style as "Amish with Electricity."

Kathleen’s Roasted Red Peppers

Now we’re going to share another of our reader’s recipe, only this time from Kathleen, who lives in upstate New York. Kathleen, just like Bonnie, has become a regular contributor to Ridin’ Out the Recession! She too is a “young lady” who is very knowledgeable in all the above topics.
