91 year old cook and great grandmother, Clara, recounts her childhood during the Great Depression as she prepares meals from the era. Learn how to make simple yet delicious dishes while listening to stories from the Depression.
In this episode Clara makes Egg Drop Soup and remembers a story about her brother.
From the Newsbase: I love these videos by Clara. You can find another here These recipes and tips are just as relevant today, as we deal with layoffs, slow economy, and higher food prices. Look for more videos by Clara to follow. This dish is also vegetarian!
You will get your wish…. you should be careful what you wish for.

Our mom went to heaven a week before Christmas, she loved to cook and experiment new dishes on us. Watching Clara brought back some fun moments in the kitchen with her. I remember her making ketchup soup and raisin pie for dessert. Clara I think you’re great.

I remember going to my gg grandmas house when I was young .me and my friends would stop in prior to going to the woods near her home. she would always tell us to stop in before we went home. one time she made us cookies and gave us milk. she always said no one leaves her house hungry.she was in her eighties at that time. she made the best veggie soup also. clara, thanks for the recipes!!!

Honestly, I think parents just teaching their children in foresight is just as effective. I’m 16 and I was raised with no groundings, no
beatings, hits with belts, anything, and I think I turned out well. I’m respectful, I have culture, I’m educated and I volunteer for charity organizations. Maybe just bringing your kids up and showing them how to behave with example is just as effective. : / But I don’t know if the rest of my generation is as respectful or brought up as well as I was.
