  Hi Clara!!!
  Oh my goodness… I just love this video… I feel like I have stepped back in time and am watching my sweet Gramma cook in her kitchen! Thank you so much for your recipes and your words of wisdom… Keep up the good work!!!

  My grandparents used to tell me stories from the Depression Era too. It was a bad time for many Americans. Looks like we’re headed back there again. Thanks for posting these. It brings back a lot of memories.

  P.S.

  Clara’s a sweetie!

  We need many more stories and information from the older generations. Truly, they are wise and we would be wise to listen. Thank you, Clara, for your time, and I hope to see more from you.

  Clara is a wonderful woman and thank God for people like her who can remind us of how bleak times were for the common man back in those days. Her stories are very appropriate today given what’s become of this country and what’s left of our economy after decades of binging and charging it to our unborn grandchildren’s credit cards. God bless you, Clara.

  My Dad was born in 1910, Mom in 1912.
  They said Baloney was inflated to 10 cent’s a pound and that people were starving to Death.
  Black beans and ham today.

  I think Clara is the most charming character on YouTube and sooo sweet!

  Fantastic video and great looking meal. Good to know considering America is going into a depression (likely, not for sure ;P)

• 20. katards  |  July 25th, 2003 at 11:35 pm

  Thank you so much for the recipes and the great stories. You are a treasure!

• 21. kbaxterpackwood  |  July 26th, 2003 at 3:38 pm

  I’d like to see your olive oil container!

• 22. prunella2  |  July 27th, 2003 at 6:52 am

  We are so lucky to have wonderful people like Clara as a resource. We need their knowledge and skills. My parents lived through the Depression and I learned a lot about saving and not wasting food. Maybe we’ll all need to learn how to cook at home again?

• 23. scutterbear  |  July 28th, 2003 at 2:13 pm

  5 Stars for Clara!

• 24. thewheatguy  |  July 31st, 2003 at 10:00 pm

  So many great lessons to learn from you! Please share more! I learned so much from my grandparents who were a young married couple in the Depression. Poppie (97) still cuts his napkins into quarters to use. Grammy could make the best food out of what you would think was ‘nothing’! God BLESS YOU Clara for sharing!
