I admire Clara, the last vid I watched, she was 93 years old and still cooking. And still telling her Depression stories with humor and a smile. Here she makes pasta and peas.
What a coincidence... my friend and I were just discussing Pasta Piselli, and Pasta Fagioli the other night. So cool to see a vid of it, Clara looks like my Gramma. :-)
I grew up eating these foods. I call 'em po food. I still eat 'em sometimes because they're easy and good. Nearly free, eh? By the time a frozen entre' is thawed in the micro, you could have real food instead. Some of that expensive prepared stuff tastes so bad anyway, yuk. Clara has many videos, she's tells great stories too.
Spoken like a true gardener, DD. I watched Ed Begley make a stew from fresh cut broccoli and other vegg he grows at home. He did it all in his solar oven!.
What the hell is wrong with you.....I did not mind when you making concret shit, but now this, old people making crapy food. Yes we all know about the depression. I am a jew, my family deff. knows about the depression. You are depressing.
Yup, po' food. Grew up on a lotta this stuff and this was way after the depression. I love Aunt Clara, I've seen all her videos. There's something so peaceful about her ways, something comforting about how matter-of-fact she is about how they lived. She reminds me of my gramma who always took the labels off her cans of food and then wrote the contents on the side of the cans. Then she'd use the other side of the labels for scrap paper for lists and things.
I don't find them depressing at all. Quite the opposite. People can survive almost anything, what's so depressing about that.

I love that she still has spunk at her age.
Fascinating. Would make a good show in these difficult economical times. Kids would do well to listen to Clara. Thanks for blogging.
Very interesting vid! Thanks

What a nice old lady, and full of good advice for anyone in these financially difficult times.
