Thank you for posting
Now-a-days it’s not so much a depression meal but a university meal!! Its cheap and nourrishing!! haha I’m subscribing Grandma!
That meal looks wonderful Clara!!
Thank you, Grandma Clara. What a wonderfully simple dish to make! I think I’ll definitely try it out! I was thinking about substituting the water with chicken stock, but I think I’ll try it Clara’s way first.
Everybody better listen up good! I am taking notes.
i’m a young lad and i’m afraid i’d cut myself cutting them vegies like that.
personally, i love peas. thank-you for your contribution.
Clara please keep the videos coming as it looks like another depression is coming…Love ya oldgirl..T
i’m not sure i could do this
Thank you so much for sharing this! We have lost so much by not listening to our grand parents and great grandparents. This will become even more valuable during the coming days.
Made Clara’s Pasta with Peas tonight. Absolutely can’t believe how good it tastes for being a quarter a serving!
Great video Clara, I was just as interested in your story as I was in your cooking . Thanks for sharing this.
Wow. She very able bodied for a 91 year old woman.
Now I wanna go cook some food! Lol!
Clara you are amazing,It’s like having my family here. However the best cooks in my family are gone now. Keep making your video’s

What is most touching to me is the combination: the wisdom of a loving grandmother and the love of a grandson who has the wisdom to know how valuable (and worth filming) she is.

Dear Clara:
Love the shows! My great aunt used to make a dish called “Shells & Peas” which is very similar to yours. GMTA.
chris can you post my video.
i sit in that kitchen and eat that meal all the time.
yea poorman’s meal.
Depression 2 coming. Get used to cooking this way.
What would we do without our wonderful and wise grandparents? It must have been awful living through those times. Just want to say thank you for sharing your wisdom Clara. If nothing good came out of that era but the sharing of your wisdom then we are richer for it. God bless you lady and thank you!!!
You are amazing. I am 66 and I don’t know if I could do a cooking video. Recipes sound wonderful. I do the potatoes and onions but have never put these four together. I will now. Thank you so much.
God bless you, Clara. Thanks for sharing your stories and recipes!
