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.
Clara,
I love your videos! You are such a cutie and I so enjoy watching your cooking videos!
Hahahahahahahaha. This was so funny I just had to leave a comment. LOL…cooking with sunlight.
Thank you, Clara! I just found your video’s today…please keep on posting.
She’s warms your heart!
lol. I shouldn’t laugh, because it’s so true. God bless Clara for these recipes! lawnclippings-wow!
what kind of cheese did you use???
The Depression is going to look like an economic boom compared to what we’re in for soon. We’re going to need some recipes that include sawdust, lawn-clippings and human hair. Also learn how to cook with sunlight. Blessings, Clara!
she’s so cute(:
Dear Clara,
This was sooo lovely and I’m definitly going to try making this.
I watched all 3 Depression Cooking episodes and found myself smiling throughout ~ delightful! Thank you so much!
I’m in love with “Depression Cooking with Clara”. I hope there will be another episode. You’re my new favorite YouTube superstar!
In the Little House books, everyone thought refined white bread was the best. And in the Long Winter they had to eat brown bread as it was the only thing really available to them. It shows they didn’t know. Plus with the potato skins you could feed it to the chickens or use it in the garden to make the soil richer.
My great-grandparents never used the skins either. Remember that during the Great Depression, not many folks were aware of (or cared about) vitamins and fiber. Filling the belly was what counted, and scraps like potato skins were still used–but to feed animals.
Aren’t many vitamins wasted by discarding the potato skins? I would have thought in those days every scrap was critical!
I’ve been watching this video for 20 seconds and I love you. Love You.
