Great Depression Cooking

With Clara...

This woman is so amazing. Just to think of all she has lived through and she is still smiling. I watched several of her videos and read many of the people's comments (on youtube). I am so saddened by the ignorance and stupidity of so many people. I think Clara is GREAT. She has a spunk about her that I like. She is like a living history book and I think it is important for young people to hear these stories. It makes me sad that I did not always sit down and listen to my Papa's stories because he had so many to offer. I only have one living grandparent left and she lives too far away to cook with and to sit and listen to her stories. When I do see her, we love to cook, can, and sew together. She has invaluable skills to share. She may tell the same stories over and over again, but when I get to bet in my 80s I hope to have stories to tell to the young ones in my life, so I just sit and enjoy that I have a grandma to tell me stories. I miss my Mema right now.

Well, here is a Grandma we can all enjoy Clara.

Let me know if you try any of the recipes. I think I smell a follow up blog coming up.
