93 year old cook and great grandmother, Clara, recounts her childhood during the Great Depression as she prepares meals from the era.

Sad to say, you may need to take a look at her other
videos (and they are all lovely).

Lao Tzu said it well, “cut down on useless craving”. You’re only poor if you want sh*t you don’t need. The universe seems to be inclined to take care of everything else.

Thanks for this. I will have

Thanks for this. I will have to adopt her as my new grandma. My grandma died a few weeks ago at 97. She had a great life. She cooked everything in lard and grew most of her food and even made moonshine & soap back in the day. I am so glad I got all the stories about the depression from her. She taught me how to garden, can, and so many things about food preservation.

I will watch these videos and think fondly of my own grandma.

This sounds interesting--

I will watch later.

such a nice post!

Good morning bump.

93?

She looks great. Thank you for posting this. I love it.

I like this lady

She reminds me of my grandmother (and that's a good thing). Down to earth and grateful, does the simple things with deliberation and does them well. Gets me back in touch with that 'soul center' of what I was raised to see as important.

Life, Liberty, Property

Bump..

for Clara!

Good Morning Bump
