Most memorable line: “But we were happy.”
Exactly! 4 words that are hard to come by these day's!😢
Time?
@@TheLastOstrich She starts saying that sentence leading up to it right around 4:53. :)
Don't romantize poorness, people were dying and starving, no one was happy
Soups On I wasn’t answering to you
She always says “But we were happy” all the time after she says some slightly sad thing, and it just puts in perspective how grateful they were
1000th like rolling on through
The people of thst time in American history, were very frugal.
And actually possessed a strict work ethic.
The Great depression should be something that should be taught in schools.
Clara impresses me as very warmhearted for her years.
There are people still like her.
The lesson is being able to survive in the face of adversity.
And extreme hardships.
Otherwise a very educational video.
Byron Thomas
Well SHE was happy. Women didn't have to do shit except to sit around the house. Did she have to go to work? Did she have to worry about bringing home the bacon so there would be food to put on the table? Did she have to worry earning a paycheck during the Depression? Did she have to work in the coal mines? Did she have to fight in the war(s). Of course not. Her life was the easy life no matter what the circumstances. It was the men who had to worry about everything. I'd like to hear from her father and her brothers how happy they really were.
@@dhrgkbqxtjr2743 women in the work force increased by nearly 30% during the depression while men participating in the labor force dramatically declined... So yes, women did have to "bring home the bacon" for lots of families. Plus they still likely took care of the homestead as well.
I get your point but I think you're over simplifying it. This woman was likely a child during the depression; most the people alive now who experienced the great depression were young enough to not fully understand what their parents were going through or feel the full effect.
@@dhrgkbqxtjr2743 you need to stop listening to Sandman. MGTOW is one thing, my dude, but it is not applicable here. If you were well read on American domestic culture, you would know that women didn't because they couldn't "sit on their asses" until the 50s.
we all gather here on the year 2019 10 years after this was made 😌
... she's dead😐
V1sion wait really? Aw :( may her sweet soul Rest In Peace 🥺
Taviana Woods yes!she is now 103
It just now recommend this to me
I love Claire such a peach I love the way she always describes how her family lived...
It’s 2024. And she’s timeless.
Absolutely, with the state of the world Clara’s recipes are becoming more and more useful
Crazy to think it's been over 10 years since she passed
@@morganingram5802so very true in today’s time when everything has become more expensive and hectic! i’ve also come back tonight for some nostalgia. time flies we all miss Ms Clara
Jws are about to create another Great Depression
becuase were having to eat like this again not even 100 years later
Truly Clara was a wonderful woman, talented and warm-hearted. I keep coming back to her videos. She was born around the same time as my own mother, so it's comforting to see the food and hear her speak. She left us such a priceless gift with these videos.
Clara (Cologira Bonfanti) Cannucciari lived to the ripe old age of 98 years-old. She was born on August 18, 1915 In Chicago, Illinois. She passed away peacefully on November 29, 2013. Her Daughter and Grandchildren comforted her in her last days, which was the fulfillment of her last wish. She is dearly missed by her family and the many fans she has acquired from her online cooking show, Great Depression Cooking.
Clara hoped that none of us ever have to experience what she did during the Great Depression.
🥺I cried reading this. Every single word. I found this channel years ago, and over time I just forgot all about Clara & her amazing Depression recipes. 🍪☕
I just saw this in my YT recommended and freaked out - I can't believe I had totally forgotten all about her & realized that she had to have passed away by now. 😪💔
RiP Miss Clara, you were truly ahead of your time, and had a wonderful witty humor about you, something that is very gracious from someone that had lived through the Great Depression. Thank you so much for all of yqour wonderful recipes. xo
Wow she was born in Chicago I didn’t know that
im sad...i just watched a video of hers for the first time..what a sweetheart
Having been raised by depression era parents I remember eating many of these meals. Mama didn't waste ANYTHING. Even the meat scraps were saved in the freezer and used to make holiday mincemeat pies. Stale bread was used to make bread pudding. Boy, could my mama cook! She could make the Sunday roast last all week. We never went hungry.
Hee name waa Cologira....? Cool. This is only the second time I've ever heard that name. The first time I heard it was in A Bronx Tale, where the main character had the name version of her name ("Cologiro").
The camera quality and the noise is great for 10 years ago
Yeah honestly better than the videos I make 😂
I got step it up for Clara
I was thinking the same looks like 2013 onwards
it was her grandson, chris, who filmed this. he was a film student at the time and had a television grade camcorder. you can see it in his memorial video to carla.
@@kaiigosheva910 oh that's why
Man, while it’s sad she’s gone, we should really appreciate how aware and alive she was at freaking 93. She must’ve had great genes. I’m glad her and her family were able to savor her life as long as they did.
My grandpa was also super sharp at 90. He died in an accident, not from natural causes, so I think he could have easily gotten to 100 :(
I agree
@@Etianen7 That's terrible. RIP
I agree
My great grandmother's 92 right now, and in perfectly good health, and remembers everything
I greatly miss this series and hearing Clara's stories . So much thanks to her grandson for preserving this record of living history . 04 / 2024 . please keep this series on the web . Canada .
Darn RUclips algorithm, why couldn’t you recommend this 10 years ago
Why though
youtube didn’t have an algorithm like it does now, it kinda just recommended what was popular i guess.
Wait there is a vid that was posted a week a go what is this sorcery is she dead or not??
Stumbled on this today, so sad she's gone. So much we can learn from this generation.
Because 11 years ago the algorithm was much more largely based on subscriptions
She is around. She is right there. Her voice is now in your mind, her lessons are now yours. She lives as long as you do.
I wish I could like your comment 💯 times! Rest in Peace, dear lady!
That was amazing. Truly.
Everybody’s favorite grandma is always with us.
nice sentiment, how many retirement homes have you volunteered at to talk to lonely old people?
Marianne?

Me realising that she’s passed away has given me the Great Depression

Oh no really? 😭😭😭
As a poor grad student finding these videos has saved me so much money. Bless Clara and her family.
I like her videos as well. I also watch historical cooking videos for ideas on frugal cooking, such as gladiator porridge, makke, frumenty, and others.
An Italian neighbor grandma taught me to make "Aglio e Olio" when I was in high school. It is just fresh garlic low simmered in olive oil then tossed into cooked spaghetti pasta and sprinkled with a bit if Parmesean Cheese when served. It was a very cheap meal I made while in college and I often made it when it was my monthy turn to host study group preparing for a big test. We were all short of money. Sometimes someone would bring a loaf of Italian bread or jello for dessert. Often the Parmesean cheese came from packets "borrowed" from the cafeteria at school. We also ate a lot of baked potatoes and baked sweet potatoes as our meal. Getting through college was an experience close to living through the depression. There were so many students it was difficult to find a part time job.
@@sammyjo8109 My grandmother was Italian as well and we (I) had that often for lunch and it was a side dish at dinner time at least once a week.
Oh my god they had more food for breakfast than I did when I was 7 years old in 1994 in Russia
My gram said a big depression meal they would eat was potato soup. It was water potato and onions with butter bread. Me and her would eat it once a week and she would tell the same stories everytime. She just passed away last month. My last grandparent. So cherish everyday and every story they have
Im so sorry 💜 but im happy she lived long and passed wisdom on to you 💜
😢😢
I miss my grandparents. I wish they were still here. Glad I have lots of good memories, it makes me sad when I think about them being gone.
@@chubbybunnie2163 thank you

The internet may be a horrible place, but it allows us to immortalize people like this
people need to see this comment
Isn't this the truth. Thank you.
I agree.
AMEN
the internet isn’t a horrible place lmao
That was the most genuine “thank you for watching” I’ve ever heard 🥺
Awww ♡ shes adorable
🥺
There is nothing on this earth that is more sweet, kind, and loving, than a lil old lady. Grandmas are the love that keep the loose stitches together in this thing we call "civilization"
The best part is, Grandma is color blind. Doesn't matter your color or hers. She'll take care of you, even if you ain't her own. Grandmas will take care of all children and they always have. My prayers go to this sweet lady. 🙏
That is lovely thing to say❤❤❤😊
The dislikes are from the people that cried so hard that their tears distorted their vision and made them accidentally dislike
oof
You are wrong, those people dislike everything. *Even their lives*
Nah man I don't know why anybody would wanna be depressed while eating breakfast
Or pieces of shit
ZA NOOBO Yes. Also 1k like btw
Me every morning:
“today we are making depression breakfast”
😂😂😂 Same especially when I have weetabix aka protien fibre slop
😂😝 I laughed so hard at this but I'm not gunna lie it's a tad disrespectful and tad true all at the same time
Why u like bothering me
😂 😂 😂
A M How is it disrespectful?
I, like so many others, stumbled across this 10 years after the upload date. Tf? Why did this just now show up in my recommended? I would have loved to get the opportunity to message her and learn more of her wisdom.
This video showed up today too on my recommended. Sad to just see this now.
Same some minutes ago
She's so sweet! I hope she's resting easy. ♥️
First of all (because of) the RUclips algorithm
Louder for the people in the back!!!! 😩😩😩😩
She reminds me of my Gram, born in 1900, lived to 93. She raised my mother in the Depression alone when my grandfather disappeared for 18 years. Strong wonderful woman...
She may be dead but she's Immortalized on the Internet.

I was going to make a stupid joke about depression until I watched this video. This is just too pure and innocent to make fun of. I just saw that she passed a few years ago, Rest in Peace, Clara.
Awe really she passed away 😢
Pen and Paper Operation
Thank you for not doing a bad joke you are a lovely person with a great hart. Take care.
I'm glad you resisted making a joke. I was missing my mom 1923-2008 and found Miss Clara. My mom would cook like this from time to time when I was growing up. Depression era children never lost that struggle even when times were better. My mom grew up under Jim Crow laws in rural Texas. My dad lived on a reservation until he was 12 in Ohio. He witnessed Klan rallies and marches in town. These two grew up without hate in their hearts and crafted a better life for their 5 kids in California.
havingfun kids Heart*
TOKYO it's about the great depression not the mental illness depression
When i die, she’s the first person i’m giving a hug to.
lol when you get to heaven you see your family and you run past them and break into her heaven house and give her a hug
merge m8 you mean in hell? Huh?
That's sad for you..
Imma hug ma mommy sorry
RIGHT!?
My mom and her siblings (total of 9 kids) were born during the depression years. Today only one lives.
I cam remember my mom making fried egg sandwich and taking that to work for her lunch. My father was so greedy with his money. Mom used every penny of her wkly paycheck to pay bills, buy groceries ands raise me all the way until I graduated high school. My mom would doi without just for her children. Even give the shirt off her back for them. My mom passed in 92 to pancreatic cancer at age of 57. Today, she would be 88.
I even save left over pancakes freeze them and spread peanut butter on them when I need a quick snack or on the go breakfast. Thanks mom and my aunts and uncles for the countless stories about growing up. Ideas and knowledge have been passed from generation to generation.
I am as well disappointed to find ot that this inspiring woman passed. Great ppl left us with knowledge and power to succeed through their stories and experiences. Knowledge is sho powerful!
Hey now, fried egg sandwiches are good!
We used to eat fried pepper sandwiches with mustard-on toast! No meat or cheese.
Fried boloney still is a treat to me lol
In the 40s they would sell fried onion & egg sandwiches.🍞
I love how she says, "...but we were happy." How happier we'd be in this life if we cherished what we had more often.
YES!!! Even though my family of 8 struggled to survive, at 73 I recall some of my happiest memories were from my childhood ...
@@carolgreen9274 That's wonderful. Tell your stories, because people my age(30's) need to hear how you struggled, endured, and thrived. We are listening.
@@buffstuf2 You kind of caught me off guard... I'm not used to people wanting to hear what I have to say!
@@carolgreen9274 My grandparents raised me from infancy and taught me to honor and cherish my elders. When we'd visit older relatives during my childhood, I enjoyed hearing stories and songs of the good ole' days. We had a record player, and my grandmother played old Western and Grand Ole' Opry records. In my mid 20's to now, my husband and I ministered in churches where the majority of the congregation was age 55 and above. I remember in our first pastorate I was 600 miles away from my hometown and so lonely. I tried so hard to make friends at work around my age, but I wasn't into clubbing and drinking. Been there, done that, and Jesus redeemed me from that lifestyle. I asked God to send me one friend. A new couple started attending our church. The lady's name was Mary. She was 50, and I was 25. Today, she is one of my closest friends. Another one of my closest friends is 83 years old. We'd go out for coffee and shopping every Saturday morning. Even now that I've moved 600 miles away from her, we write every few weeks and go out when I come up to visit. Other older ladies in my church taught me how to garden, sew, cross stitch, and canning. They ministered to me as I ministered to them. Many people in my generation appreciate our elders and long to embrace the simplicity of life, hard work and self-sufficiency, and emphasis on family and friendships that your generation hoped to pass down.
Even IF we had a change of hearts today, we still deserve what's coming.
“She was nice and chunky” this is the greatest women to ever walk this earth

The fact that this is being recommended to me now doesn't exactly fill me with hope.
Doth thou not cherish thine existential dread, of what might come, of the prolonged uncertainty of it all?
Can't blame u, samesies.
Good luck brother.
Thats the point. Spread panic
Don't be surprised. The recommendations are perfectly accurate with most users.
Embrace living and eating within your means lol.
Alejandro Sanchez by Good Friday we will all be okay
Always dressed so nicely I have to mention, reminds me of my grandma. Even if you weren't going anywhere you were always ready for unexpected guests to arrive. I miss my grandma but Clara's videos very much have many grandmas in a 6 minute video that plenty of people can relate to. I love seeing how important pictures were for people back then it wasnt digital repetitive garbage. My grandma passed on 4/19/23 which is why I'm finding myself back at these videos.
It comforts my heart knowing that she lives on forever in these videos. Making such an impact on many people's lives even when she's departed from us.
What ? This was my first video of her. I instantly liked her and boom,now i am sad knowing she's no longer alive =(
@@flava2358 she said she was 93 and this video is 12 years old. What did you expect?
@@flava2358 Yeah. There's a sad video where her grandson, who films these sessions, announces her death. Really sad. Then he came back a few years later because he had found tapes that had never been posted ' the lost Clara tapes' and so we had new videos to watch.
I come across her randomly and it just brings me happiness everytime i find this channel again, R.I.P you beautiful lady
I'm so glad they made these videos, because she reminds me so much of my grandma who is currently receiving end-of-life care. I'll always be able to come back here and have a pleasant reminder of my grandmother. She made a lot of these things
It made me depressed when I realized this was made 10 years ago
Friendly Trash - Perfect! Now you can cook and fittingly enjoy your Depression Breakfast!
She died on Nov 29,2013 :c
Sorry to hear she passed. She reminded me of so many family that has passed who lived through the depression and wars.
How did youtube know i needed a depression breakfast.😂

Good to learn that she passed peacefully, surrounded by loved ones. TY for this info.
Rest in peace, Clara. What a sweet soul and such a nice and informative cooking show 😻
Rest in peace, Clara, I am proud to share my birthday with you
I have no idea why this channel was recommended to me about a week ago and I am not going to question it. I am in love with Clara and her gentle ways and I love when her family is included in the clips. I even watch the videos where she cooks things that I would never eat, like garlic bread. Clara just makes me feel cozy. Thank you for posting the information on her peaceful passing.
Dearly love to watch Clara cooking!! She must have had many great stories to tell and I'm so glad she shared the art of depression cooking!! 💕💋
I love watching these recipes, Clara was absolutely amazing. America's Ruth Mott, two great ladies. God rest your soul Clara.
I am amazed at people like Clara; she lived before the Atomic age, got to experience the largest war ever, lived through the Atomic age and lived long enough to start a successful RUclips channel. Truly remarkable.
@@theredhotchilipepperssexof4269 GOOD!!!

@@MrHeavy466 ah, I thought you were implying that it was a good experience because of the way you worded it. I'm not sure I would even use the word 'incredible' re: living through a major war. But I agree it would have been a very character-building and eye-opening experience. She would certainly have learnt a lot about life and human nature having lived through such a time.
I could sit and listen to her wonderful stories for years. I miss my grandma.

When she says they had cookies on Sunday as she smiles, that was everything. God bless her sweet soul.
My dad was raised on a 5000 acre farm (that was my grandparents) and he used to tell me that every once in a while, my granny would make biscuits and when daddy and my Uncle would get home from school, she would serve them warm biscuits sprinkled with sugar and covered in fresh, raw milk. He would smile recalling this sweet memory and say that it was his favorite treat as a child.
😭God bless her soul
I feel such happiness right now from hearing her pleasure at simple things like cookies and strong coffee. What's better than that? Nothing money can buy.
Lovely old lady. We should listen and learn from the generations before us. Especially someone as nice as she was.
Amazing to see her memory lives on - she can teach us all to be a little more grateful for what we have. RIP Clara

It's odd how you can feel nostalgic for a time filled with hardship, long before you were born.
it's hard to take your comment seriously with your silly profile pic and name.
thank you Quagmire for this meaningful comment
@@Maplelust Why would anyone take an internet comment seriously? Besides, even a hardened fictional pervert can have a soft side, can't he?
my comment still stands. and it has nothing to do with taking anything seriously, by that logic you're just joking about this lady.
Hardship builds character, and people are starving for connection and meaning in the West.
“Breakfast we had bread and butter, and coffee... We used to dip our bread in the coffee, and eat it. Thought that was great.”
“But on some days we had cookies... Which was a big treat... We didn’t have cookies until Sunday.”
“Times were different in those days..”
*“But we were happy.”*
You never notice how ungrateful people in this day are until you look at someone that has had almost nothing... It really makes me sad that so many people have so much but still want more..
Wdym. I eat bread and butter and dip it in the coffe every breakfest!
Observations like yours make your life better and hopefully cause others to think. Gratitude and attitude.
Kati Jennings
We had butter and jelly toast that we dipped in coffee. That was my breakfast everyday before school.
Because their connections were strong. Deprivation sucks, but you bear it much better in community. Today, those connections are weak to nonexistent, and stuff (like the phone I’m using to write this) has replaced people. All you want is more stuff, because it can’t fill the void, and that doesn’t breed much gratitude.
Kati Jennings Very true! We were poor and didn’t know it. We had and ate whatever my Mom made or not eat at all and everything she made was delicious 😋 I sold Water Ice in S. Philly for $.50 so I could go buy a pair of BoBo Sneakers 👟 I was so happy 😀 I’m glad we were brought up like that, it made us 7 kids know the value of a dollar and to be independent. Clara will be with us forever 🙏🏻💔
It's such an empty feeling knowing that this grand lady is gone but thankfully through modern technology and her past efforts, she lives forever on video and in our hearts. My Dad was a depression baby and now I can see the sacrifices that my grandma made so he could live to be 94.❤❤❤
I remember how this was the first video I had ever watched of her. Every time the internet gets so stupid or gets me so angry I always come back to this safe space. She is the ultimate Internet grandma here on RUclips for us. R.I.P. Clara

Jascha44 she passed in 2013 she was 98
Lillian Preece wow just found these videos today amazing! So sad but yet she left us with such wisdom! Plus how awesome is that? In her 90s and using technology!! Who says you can’t teach someone old new tricks?
Sandie Hledá eww “safe space” are you a feminist too? How mad can you get on the internet 😭
FlyToBeach yes it's amazing! haha but I think her grandson does most the work
I do admire this woman. She was only 3 years old when the Flu Pandemic happened. She survived the World Wars plus the economic collapse. Rest in paradise.
damn that’s amazing
dont forget SARS, Vietnam, Korea H1N1 etc..
@@backtoshallabal6662 ms girl lived ⏃ long life damn- props to her
1900s were something else
just real women... none like that real women today...rip my gal....
I also love how her eyes will glow up every time she talks about a happy memory. Amazing
It warms my heart
What an amazing and memorable lady this was. Some of what she talks of during the depression I have heatd before. Especially the biscuits dunked in coffee 😊
"my mom didn't give us a lot of coffee, only a drop of coffee and mostly milk, but we were happy"
Coffee is addicting and gives anxiety

Hi you’re gorgeous
@@Jojester0004 And you're desperate lmao.
In her memory, i'm going to make Clara's cookies and share them with my family on a Sunday like she did.
Update: made the cookies and they were good we enjoyed them!
I love that ❤
Update please
@@Mayusunshine It's not Sunday yet. ^^
@@Mayusunshine i'm going to write out what she did as a recipe and look up how long they need to bake for. Will send a link when they're done ^^
You actually made me cry with this comment.
This is so damn pure why you showing is so late
I consider myself blessed to be able to watch and listen to this gem of wisdom...
Thank you LORD for this gift of this thing called life...and for people like her in it
"we're having a depression breakfast" pretty sure that's what I have every morning
😂
Good boss 👍👍👍 it's good to know what you're having for breakfast 🤪🤪🤪🤪
Thought that's what it's about. Guess I'm a zoomer
Lmao
Can I join you guys????😢😢🤧
RUclips decided to recommend me this now, 10 years later... 😐
Princé Bankz same
better late than never?! 🤷♀️ Watching Clara cook and hearing her stories is wonderful.
Not only that but I found out she died on my birthday :”) rip Clara
Yea😐😐😑
Same
“Thank you very much for watching “
No thank you Clara 😔
I honestly thought the same! She said Thankyou and I thought quietly oh Thank you too.
No, Thank YOU, Clara
that’s how it should’ve been written because it sounds like you’re like “no thank you clara” like “no thanks clara”. i don’t mean to be mean or annoying, i just am like that.
Guys stop I’m gonna cry 😭
I said thank you to her too. Out loud. My mom may have asked who I was talking to.
nola m just let it be and don’t ruin the moment smh
This breakfast was probably why she lived so long! This is beautiful! Coffee with evaporated milk. Wow! I could listen to her for hours and she probably loved telling her stories to people. I loved it when she said, "We were happy".
She has said "We were happy" many times in her videos. It's important to note that they didn't need much of anything to be happy. It's perhaps even more important to note that nothing has changed, and people now don't need much to be happy, either. :)
i’ve never had coffee with evaporated milk…. is it the unsweetened one or sweetened? i love that coffee maker too
@@colletteblais1441 Condensed milk is sweetened, evaporated milk is plain. You can pour a can of evaporated milk into a quart jar, fill it the rest of the way with cold water, screw the lid on and shake. This will give you the equivalent of whole milk. The taste is much closer to fresh than powdered, and is great over cereal or for drinking. Good to know if you go camping and don't have refrigeration. Old timers kept an opened can in the fridge and used it as a cream substitute in their coffee. Good stuff.
That is the best part. The stories that go with the "food is love" feeling. My grandma was the same way. I truly miss her!
I didnt even know her but she feels like an old friend
Right? Feels like she's speaking directly to us and we can pop in any time for her to feed us.
As a young kid, she reminds me of my grandma. Strangely, my mom's side of the family grandma. I never met her, she died when my mom was only 15, the same age I am now. She reminds me of the stories my mom would tell me about Grandma Nora, she would tell me grandma was sweet with kids, happy, she would never raise her voice, much less her hand, but she was strong and stood her ground, "mama gave a command and nobody even stuttered a complaint, not even my dad." my mom always says. And she was shamefully very poor, so she did not waste a thing. She's the grandma I would've liked to have. Sorry about the length of the comment.
I feel she was the type of person that "connected" with people. I get that vibe when I watch her videos
i never met either of my grandmas. she feels like the grandma i never had.
That’s some good camera quality for 2009
Very true!!
When the quality of the camera back in 2009 was better than pewdiepies :
how old are you bro? this is 2009 not 1999. camera quality was pretty good by that year.

SAME
I've been watching Clara since the beginning. I keep rewatching the episodes to her spirit that she is still loved. I am not a family member but I miss her so much.😢😢
I don't understand WHO would give a thumbs down for ANY of sweet Miss Clara's videos. They must just be ignorant about hardship and history.
DON'T focus on the negative, it only adds more negativity! Thumbs up or down do not rule the world.
I think there are people online who just always give thumbs down to whatever it is. They are on every single online site. They must lead very miserable lives.
Probably bots bro
Doesn't actually matter as they both feed the algorithm :)

+escapefromobamastan
Yes your comment sums up her videos perfectly. She was such a nice Grandmother. Just found her channel
Just tuned in (again for the hundredth time) thinking, I need to watch Clara today because there's so much ugly going on out there. Read your comment and realized, it's not just me. So here I am ready to be transported back to a time that seemed so awful for those who lived through it, but who knew the world would come to..this. I hope she's cooking up some good depression meals there for the angels. RIP Clara.
awww.. She's so cute.
Oooooh! You so cold man.
I swear this is an amazing breakfast and just hearing her memories is both heartwarming and breaking ❤
I'm a grown man, weeping at this wonderful woman's wisdom, skill and kind demeanour
I cry watching her videos too.
+gregory clewell Because we realize that because of "feminism" we were denied a proper upbringing. My elderly mother is a junk food junkie and I don't recall my grandma cooking anything but Wendy's hamburgers.

The whole point is that she was a strong intelligent woman .....and didn't need "feminism" - why on earth are you bringing that subject into this thread ??????

You're right - I apologis(z)e

She passed in 2013, six years ago
Yes. It is. Beautiful indeed.
Don't know why but this comment made me shiver
She's still alive ruclips.net/video/mLTv55UzMkg/видео.html
Clara had such a thoughtful Grandson to have made these videos. I'm sure he, and his family are so happy that they recorded these high quality videos.
Omg, I didn't know it was the grandson who recorded these videos! (My heart! ❤ 🥺😭)
lucky
What a miracle it is, when you miss a person and can still see and hear them on a video. We are very privileged in our time...
I wish you tube would make her videos a gold standard for living . God bless her!
When she said, I'm not strong enough" my heart low-key broke
Joshua Zabala I would travel back in time to this exact moment to open every jar she asked for.
And then she pulls out the little hammer! Lol, I cheered out loud for her in that moment. You GO Clara
2009 youtube recommendation: not yet
2019: yes this is the time. Let's send this to everybody's list.
I have just learned that she passed away in 2013. R.I.P dear clara!
@Luke Johnson
You must be an economists. The economy will go down.... Sometime in the future....
@Luke Johnson
You got that from a sarcastic RUclips comment? Lol also we haven't recovered? I agree the government and people at large haven't learned from the mistakes that led up to the 2008 recession but we have definitely recovered lol. We will never be at prior 2008 growth because that market was inflated and overvalued. Market corrections and financial regulations now are much harsher. But please explain the the pleb how I'm "dim".
@Luke Johnson
Didn't I say people and governments haven't learned anything? I clearly stated that and everything you pointed out was happening before 2008. Nobody has learned. Also, your talking about world markets and honestly everyone can go to hell as far as I'm concerned. The world Bank is shit, Europe is in shambles and they have nobody to blame but themselves. Socialism and importing third world populations is dumb. Also, the world bank is moving to negative interest rate and how do you do it? Socialism duh. American fed increased the interest rate from 0 in 2008 to 1.75% (down from 2.5 which shouldnt be a surprise we are coming into the holiday season) now. America has recovered from the recession the rest of the world hasn't recovered from shooting themselves in foot. On a serious note America is not much better in the long run. If Democrats win in 2020 or 2024 the markets will tank. Democrats and socialist always run out of other people's money. The whole point of my first post was to poke fun at you for being a doomsayer. Your comment was shallow and I wanted to troll you. If you don't see how dumb that comment and that my reply was clearly a joke I don't know what to say. Cheer up bro the holidays are on their way be happy and go grab a beer the world is not more screwed than we've been for the last 100 years. The media and religion just focus on the bull, don't let it get to you.

Kara Amundson not with all that sugar and flour.
"we didn't have cookies till sunday" watching these videos really makes you appreciate just how good we have it in this day. Even in the height of the 2008 economic crisis, most families could afford sweets on a regular basis. I'm so glad that you captured Clara's wisdom and experience for the world to learn from.
@@EdwardTCat what good things did they have that we dont ?
William mohamad~ I’d say probably more time to spend with their families for one... a greater amount of families had farms that they worked together. And even if the father went away to work, the mother was almost always home with the kids daily. It was a lot more possible to live on one income. Great Depression years were very hard of course. Maybe I’m romanticizing it, but I have fond memories of visiting my Grandparent’s farm as a kid. They worked together, and played together too. It makes you feel more grateful for it when you get your food right from the source. Fresh cows milk, berries from the vine, potatoes you dug from the earth yourself. Nobody was off isolating for hrs. on end..on their phone
My mom told us sugar wasn't available since the Depression! I still don't have a taste for it. We'd all be better off without it. Now kids snack all day and don't eat real meals...just sugary snacks n sweet drinks. My mom was like, "If yer thirsty, drink water. If yer hungry, have an apple." Great way to stay slim all, your life!
I keep revisiting Clara. Good times.
My Mama was raising 5 children during the Depression. She lived in a remote area of the Appalachian mountains. The idea of another Depression affected her so much, that even in the 60s when I was born, she never stopped collecting aluminum foil scraps, hoarding sugar and flour, and hoarding toilet paper and paper towels. Mama was a moonshiner for a time, and supported her children by selling moon shine. She was right famous for her drinks, but also because she was a midwife and delivered babies when their itinerant Medical Doctor couldn’t be there. She was an interesting woman, with millions of stories to tell. She passed 31 years ago, and I miss her everyday. .
Your mama sounds incredible ♥️
God bless your Mama 💖
Your Mom sounded like a very smart lady. She was a thinker and a planner. She did what she had to do for her children…. My Grandmother was from the Appalachian mountains, but was adopted so we never did know anything about the family…. My Grandmother was a lot like your Mom…. A real strong woman. They moved to Hollywood California when my Mom was about 13 years old…. I was born in Hollywood, but had a lot of Southern influence growing up…. My Great grandmother ( my Grandmothers adopted Mother) was a real old Appalachian women…. I was so blessed to be able to spend a lot of time with her. She was called Nanny. Minny May Stanly…. She smoked cigars when someone snuck one to her, and she always had a small bottle of whiskey hidden away. She would make us hot toddy’s with a little bit of whiskey if we were sick. All those southern women had great stories…. And they taught me how to cook Southern food.
She sounds like a beautiful lady! The Lord will reward her with a crown the day she is resurrected! 👑
She sounds fabulous 💜💜💜
"But we were happy"
Just goes to show how little material possessions matter and how important friends and family are. Wish we could all just be better to each other.
You’ve said it!
Agreed friend. Let's be good to each other! The world would be a better place
Maybe our current predicament is an opportunity to be better to each other and learn how we've strayed away from what is really important... Or we could be toilet paper hoarding, TV worshipping buffoons
