    In the last 3 days; I met Clara, drank lots of strong Italian style coffee, made the dandelion salad, the pepper and eggs and the delicious almond chocolate biscotti. All so very delicious… I now think of Clara every time I make myself a good strong coffee. Thanks for sharing Chris the wonderful life and spirit of your favourite person. She was indeed so wonderful.

    My nanna was just like Clara. Born in 1913, from Malta (which is right next to Sicily and very close in cultures), lived through the depression, married in Malta like Clara married in Sicily, and cooked from scratch with everything. Both Catholic and both had Mother in laws that didn't like them! 😆 They both express themselves with their hands and talk loud. I miss the old ways so much and these videos bring back so many memories.
    My Nanna was born in Malta and came to America with my Maltese Nannu in 1939. My mother was the baby, so I am the youngest grandchild and I feel like I'm the last generation to grow up with these old traditions. I was born in the late 70's. My Nanna died at 93 in 2006 and I was so lucky to have her as long as I did. I miss her soooooooooo much!
    Thank you for these precious videos! I went and bought an Italian Bialetti Moka Pot today and can't wait to try this! God bless! ❤️

    I just came across Claras videos a few month ago. Many, many thanks to her grandson for convincing her to make these treasure videos! I have been watching them over and over.
    Clara reminds me much of my German Oma. She passed away many years ago but I always remember the nice times we shared. I am in my 50's and live in the US. Back then, my Oma used to make baked apples, just like Clara. Soon when the weather gets colder, that will be a nice treat that I had forgotten about for many years!
    Today I went and bought a freah pack of espresso and made it just like Clara showed, with crema! ❤ Oh, it was so good! I watched Claras video and had my espresso with Clara in spirit! ❤😊
    Many thanks to the family for sharing lovely Clara with us! What an absolute joy it is to watch her! 😊

It's also kinda sad cause there are so many old people around the world and even my community that probably don't get to share their stories and experiences and will be lost to time. Clara's videos with her grandson will nonetheless be so uplifting to many for a long time!

    So glad you have these wonderful memories of your grandmother. I’ll soon be 93 and about 14 yrs younger than your grandmother but my family wouldn’t share many things about the depression and my experiences with my grandmother are my fondest memories. We didn’t know we were ‘dirt’ poor because everyone was. We always had garden & canned for survival.
    God Bless you for recording these beautiful memories. I’ve sent them to my grandchildren & asked them to share with their children.

Wish I would’ve documented something like this from her. What strikes me is watching another video “the poor man’s meal” specifically she said she had to quit high school couldn’t afford socks just breaks my heart hearing that. Damn. Times were really hard a big contrast to the generation in today’s society. Also mentioning the baby boomers here for my dad. Times were so different then.

    So nice to see this channel has continued to grow and after randomly seeing Clara on my suggestion I'm seeing other youtubers I follow, and their old videos where they replicate Clara's videos.. I can't believe so many people know her. She is more famous after death. . May she rest in peace. She just has that vibe that gives off cool gran. ✌️❤️

      That’s how Italians (and many European countries) are, they’ll lay it on the line with you and tell you the truth. If they don’t want something, you’ll know it. It seems rude to us but i think that might just be how some people in those cultures are. Even though there’s the Italian saying “A caval donato non si guarda in bocca” which means don’t look a gifthorse in the mouth. Lol

    The first time I saw Clara was a long time ago, I was amazed at how she looked like my grandmother. She was always showing me how it was done during the depression. It left a real impression on me. Her childhood home was in Kentucky, and her family came from Germany. Her father built a hardware and lumber yard right after the Civil War. She used to tell me so many stories, I wish I had the forethought to write them down. I was just a kid, what did I know. At 74 these memories are a treasure that I do write down for my grandkids. Thank you to Clara's family for your recordings, they are a joy to watch.
