No one who knew Clara ever saw her drink a single glass of water. We all used to marvel how she would only drink coffee. She drank American coffee in the morning and Italian Espresso in the afternoon. Occasionally she would add a special sweet froth into the Espresso, a kind of Crema cheat for stovetop Espresso pots, and here's how she did it.
This Video was filmed way back in 2010. Nana and I were just goofing around, making coffee, so we never thought to make it into an episode. It was nice to rediscover this recently and it brought so many fun memories of drinking Espresso with Nana. Hope you enjoy it too! - Zábava
Is it odd to miss someone you’ve never met? Because.. I miss her so much...
I miss her too!
Same here!
I love her so much
Same 😔
But she’ll be right here forever
I'm (gladly) surprised there's still unreleased content from her after all this time❤️
Me too!!
So happy they are tho.
Right? It was one of the best news of 2020.. I am not joking
Me too. Glad they are spreading the content out, for the years to come.
Yes, Elias! I thought we had seen all of Clara’s videos! I am very happy to see this new footage from this marvelous woman.
"The first thing I love is my family. The second thing I love is my coffee."
Okay, if a line of Clara merchandise is ever made, I want that on a coffee mug!
Oh that's very nice of you Alicia, how are you doing over there hope everything is perfectly going well with you ?
Indeed! 😁❤️
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.
Years ago i found her dandelion salad video and forgot to subscribe. I'm sad she's gone bit I'm so happy to have found her chanel again. She'll be remembered by so many people 🧡🧡
An absolute legend of a women leaving us a gift from before her passing, for us to have in a terribly difficult holiday
When did she pass??? Had no idea😔😔
@@windys1269 I believe it was in 2013
@@windys1269 -- Back in 2013, according to the website from the description.
Here's the video they did on her passing. czcams.com/video/-7ZjKl-d2Tc/video.html
*gasp* nooooooo
Hello , its so good to see Clara and here her voice. I am 97 yrs old. We all miss this Lovely Lady so. Thank you Christopher Son for putting this out, its just been so wonderful to see her again. God Bless you and your family.
God bless you ❤️😊🙏
I love hearing stories of "the olden days" as my grandfather used to call them. I loved hearing how he would have to walk down the railroad tracks after a train passed so he could collect any coal that fell off the train. He's been gone 27 years and I still think of him fondly every day. I wish more people would share their stories. 😊
God bless you as well, ma'am!
God bless you!😊
God bless!
I'm 12 years old and I watched the Depression Breakfast video earlier and now I'm in love with this lady! I'm going to teach myself (with help!) to cook these recipes.
Way to be kid! Cooking is an awesome skill. I also love this lady and her recipes. She was a gem ✨
@@vyoletrose3218 Truly
Mrs. Clara is wonderful!
I’m so glad you discovered her,- learning to cook well is a skill that will always bring you joy. It’s also a good way to show you care about someone when you cook for them.
I’m learning from her too,- food doesn’t have to be fancy or expensive to be delicious.
Enjoy your life ❤️
@@kasondaleigh Thank you ❤️
Me too, and I was heartbroken I couldn't watch her channel when she was alive, as I was only two when she died :(
She makes me so happy when I’m sad or lonely. She is like a comfort character I’ve never had. I recently found her and has been a blessing watching these videos ever since. RIP beautiful soul
Me too
Me too, so sweet old lady
Yes. I wish I had grandparents like her..or even parents like her.
My mother was abusive narcissist and my father was out of family even before I was born. Grandma died when I was 6 and grandpa never cared about me and my little brother.
Seeing people like her makes me appreciate strong family ties, even when I'm not part of a family.
@@laniakeas92 yeah, I really want to build a family of my own someday
@@laniakeas92, friend, sometimes we have to find a different family to love & loves us💗
"I should of given her the Sicilian eye" omg I'm laughing 🤣🧿🧿🧿
When she ran her fingers outward under her chin. I sooo felt that. Like a thousand middle fingers. She's so sassy. I Lurve Her!!
*should’ve
I cracked up lol
🧿 what the fuck is this omg
Now she sleeps wit 'da fishes
I see Clara was making whipped coffee before the TikTok trend. What an ICON!
Yep
Oh, the Chinese Communist Party doesn't have its finger on the pulse of Western culture after all. Glory be.
All things old are new again right?
@@KCCAT5 yes and the youngers thinks that's they are the discovers
She was a trendsetter i hope she can 👀 from above
Miss your mom. She was the sweetest on the internet. She is smiling down from Heaven. Love to rewatch her from time to time. Thank you
"I always eat Maiale, and I'm still here!" That cracked me up so hard. What a priceless treasure of a lady. She reminds me so much of my German aunt, whom I miss so much.
I am German and first I laughed about Clara's response, just like you! Then my next thought was how rude and ignorant that was. I felt bad for Clara but she knew how to handle it for sure!
I loved her statement about her mother-in-law when she had first met her.... I'm gonna have a hard time with that one...
😂 Another Clara Classic!! I love her! 😊❤❤❤
I just love this woman and wish I had known her.
Reminds me so much of my Dad, but his family is Piedmontese
Me too, she reminds me of my Grandma, my mom's mother who was Sicilian too
Reminds me of my aunt Maria
Me to when I heard of her passing I cried
She's a beautiful Grandmother to everyone whose theirs.
I hope she found my grandma in heaven
Mine too, both sicillian
Mine too. She's Mexican but boy she could cook. And she was born in 1916. Maybe they are all up there trading recipes. Lol
Such a sweet comment 💖
Same for my great grandma
She's making her an espresso right now!!
I love Miss Clara!
@ThePatriotNurse May the Lord be with you. God bless you. Thank you for all of your content, and thank you for all that you do.
Well she’s dead.
She’s cute!
@@DeputyVanHalen5150 Don’t get me wrong. I love Clara, I just though that patriotnurse didn’t know. So go back to church and try a plead your buddy god to forgive you for mocking other religions.
@@harrys.truman5457 LOL I wasn't mocking. Looks like you underwent a name change.
To Clara's family: thank you for uploading new videos of your precious grandma/mother/aunt/great-grandma. She's such a joy to watch and for those of us who have followed this channel since the beginning and still enjoy her personality and advice I hope you know what a blessing she is to us still. Her legacy of wisdom, simplicity, and love of family lives on through your efforts.
I’d like to second Shauna’s sentiment. We appreciate you. 💛
I’d like to 3rd All the love for Miss Clara& her beautiful legacy...her family & her love of making everyone smile!❤❤❤Thank you for all the wonderful lessons in life. ❤❤❤
Can you upload any new ones
The part at the end was hilarious. Her laughing hysterically was the highlight of my day. This really made my day better she always does! I really love her
I love her, too. ❤️
I’ve watched and rewatch Clara for yrs. It’s like my own grandma reaching out to me to say, “you can do this, I did.” Love you Clara ❤️
So sweet Kimberly , just so sweet.
Hello dear how are you doing over there?
“I shoulda gave her the Sicilian eye” 😂😂 god I love her
The absolute nerve of those people refusing to eat the dish that Clara so thoughtfully made.
Right? I'd love to taste those breaded pork chops. All of Clara's recipes I've tried have been absolutely delicious. I can't believe people--especially her in-laws of all folks--would refuse to eat her meal. What's wrong with having pork in summer? It's delicious year-round.
@@AliciaNyblade yes...weren't they Italians???.. I miss those people..we have none here...it's too small a place for good Italian families...,❤
Totally. Height of bad manners as my mother would say.
From what I read Italians have very long strict rules about food, eating and coffee. Probably difficult to get out of that. Especially for the older generations and their traditions.
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
Awww I'm on the verge of tears i needed her today
She's comforting to watch 😊
Me too
Same
Me too, but the tears went past the verge
I agree. She left us with so much wisdom. Beautiful Clara❤
My grandmother-Clara would always correct people when they referred to her as Italian. She was Sicilian and very proud of it. My grandmother also cooked "depression style". I love watching this special lady😍🥰
I still come and watch these videos, Italian Ice, for this yucky hot weather.
I cried when I found out of her passing, if she only knew how many people she touched with her amazing stories and kind spirit.
Coming back here as a 24 year old I still miss Clara, such a Lady. May she rest in peace 💕
Yay, she came back. She must have seen how pathetic we still were with our coffee making skills.
This woman is in heaven now.
Kaleidoscopic Kali
Interesting
She passed in 2013 I believ
😢
The original grandma of CZcams never left us.
College kids ate on pennies because of Clara and her recipes.
We need her now. Our economy is in the tank. Literally.
We gotta get back to basics now.... the very basics of basics.
Yes exactly!
She reminds me so much of my grandma. She died in 2010 at the age of 92. She talked about the Great Depression too and never wanted to waste food, and loved her black coffee. Watching Mrs Clara is like getting to spend time with my grandma again, even for just a few minutes ❤️
I watching to see how they stretched a small amount to feed a family. We're in a recession here in America, and its gonna get worse before it gets better. I really like her stories and recipes from the past.
@@Qplus-tc5hh I am not about to start an argument on this channel of all channels but we were not in a recession one year ago or three years ago. Inflation is high but that is caused by shameless greedy corporations. I have been doing very well in spite of the inflation as have many of the people I talk to. You may need to examine your expense and extracurricular activities spending. They can make you worse off than you should be.
I only know her by watching her on CZcams. When I found out she passed away I cried. "She was the salt of the earth". Google that phrase. So many good stories and lived through anything and everything. Rest In Peace Clara. My June 2023 comment.
"Don't go cheap on the coffee " 🤣
Truer words never spoken!! 🥰
😄😄☺️
Yup
"Thank you for listening." Wow that hits me. Clara was a woman with a lot of stories to tell, and I'm glad that we got the opportunity to listen to them.
Hot dang, I'm going out to buy the coffee pot and coffee today, because I'm thinking if Grandma was 94 and still drinking her strong coffee, its going to be my new coffee habit. If Grandma does it, so do I. Thank you to Grandma and most importantly Chris. Hugs. Sherie Rodrigues from Australia. You know, it is so lovely reliving Clara's life along with her. I have tears (of joy) watching.
Isn't it so bizzare, that she started posting 14 years ago, old but young in spirit. Now, 2021, after she's passed on we still get to see her, hear her and learn from her. Seeing things like this, makes me realize, that I need to start doing this for my grandma. But 14 years!!! My God, how time has gone by.
She was special. You don’t even need to meet her, you just know she’s a special woman.
My boyfriend and I tried her "depression meal", The recipe that was hotdogs onions and potatoes all fried together. It was soooo good! Thank you for these videos. We love her so much.
I also made this, but had to adjust a little because I'm not a hot dog person. Try it with Polish Kielbasa!!! :D nom!
I wish there was a "LOVE" button on these videos. I fell in love with Clara during the very first time I watched one of her video's. God rest her soul.
I love this woman and her positive attitude. I wish we had her now during the pandemic.
We're in a recession, with high inflation in America, and it's getting worse.
Watching her now because of the high inflation! Nothing like having a solid pro giving us survival tips and recipes!
"I don't know what I'd do without coffee."
Same, girl, same.
Love you Nana. You remind me so of all my wonderful Italian aunts, great aunts and my grandmothers who sadly are also gone now. They don't make ladies like you anymore.
True that!
Dear Carol, I red your comment abt Clara and I believe you are on to something there. I am 97 yrs old. I lived through the depression and I believe those years helped to define all of us during that time. And I mean in a good way. They were very hard years, watching our parents struggle so hard for just alittle. It was painful at times. We learned to respect and appreciate everything. We used and used up everything and if we could get just abit more out of it we used it again then if we just had to throw it away we did it with reservations. I believe we are headed for those times again. Claras recipes I believe are going to save many peoples lives. The information she shared is going to have alot of value. So I hope you all watch Clara and learn, because its coming again. God Bless you and your family. Ann
Imagine living through so much history, fascinating woman.
I agree, she is sooooooooo my grandmother i never had. I remember the foods & physical items so well from my 1960's childhood. She has been a blessing even now after her passing.
"Don't go cheap on the coffee, because the stronger it is, the better it is." That is a solid principle to live by.
Clara, we are witnessing another depression. Thanks for calling on us at this hour. :)
I love watching this show when I'm sad. She makes me smile plus I learn something! God bless Clara for making this world a better place while we were blessed enough to have such a wonderful human being ❤
How are you doing
Miss Clara as long as you are on here, You will ALWAYS BE WITH US. WE LOVE YOU!! Happy birthday beautiful classic Miss Clara. ❤❤❤
Clara has a little gangster in her! Love her and miss her.
😎🤛
I see it too...sassy 💗
why do you miss her? something happened? is she ok?
@@isabelladominguezluna5208 she passed away
I cant wait! Its like finding the first gift under the tree days before Christmas! 😳🥰🙂👍🙏🏻
I hope her son never takes the videos down!!!! We all can learn so much from her still!!!!!💞💞💞💞🐈🐈🐈🐈
My son and his gf and I just enjoyed our first cup of “Clara’s coffee” (complete with crema) in our new Italian percolater. Thankful for these precious videos...helping us make pandemic memories!
Hello dear how are you doing over there?
What brand/where did you get your percolator? Also, do you know what brand of coffee she used? Or do you have one you recommend?
@@scoobydadog246 She used Illy coffee (a very good Italian coffee). The percolator (or Moka as we say in Italy) is a Bialetti, 4 cups I think, looking at the size of it. (The smaller is a 1 cup Moka, then 2, 3, 4, 6, 8...) The best. Every Italian house has at least one Bialetti Moka
Such a precious lady-smart and funny as well.
Clara seems like she was such a kind soul. As much as I love her cooking tips, it's the stories she tells that really interest me. I wish there were more videos of her just telling stories
I recently found this channel. I’m very sad to learn that, Clara passed away in 2013, so long ago. I love her videos, She was a special Lady. I look forward to the unreleased material. Clara’s recipes are good & her stories even better. 🌸🙏
Each time I make this in the morning I make a toast to the life of beautiful Clara and how much she's helped people with her recipes and stories. I am grateful for her and may God rest her soul.
The grandma of all of us
I'm dealing with lots of mental health issues right now, but Clara inspires me to take care of myself with good, nutritious food. I just made her pasta sauce and pizza, and they're delicious. Thank you so much, Clara, and to her son for releasing this extra content.
Hang in there! ❤️❤️🙏
Hope you're doing better! God bless you.
You'll be fine, just be patient. 😁
@@amieweymouth992 Thank you so much!
@@sadie4538 Thank you. I am doing better♥️
Oh my god. I just stumbled upon this channel and was so excited and now I'm so sad and her telling her life stories makes me tear up. Such a sweet sweet lady. So glad she's immortalized her to be beloved forever.
I discover this channel today.. she was so cute..
I hope she’s in peace now..
A program like this in tv would be great..😪
Greetings from Italy 👋🏻☺️ 🇮🇹
When i found out that she had passed on i actually began crying, idk, she just seems like such an amazing woman
(Edit: guys please stop fighting in the comments, i was just trying to talk about this woman. Why are people arguing here? Please have some kind of decency)
I bawled my eyes out too. 😭
@@gracereeves7803 when did she pass? I feel sad now
@@emilynicole6104 I googled it, and she had passed in 2013

Aw boohoo cry about it more
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. ✌️❤️
IKR?
Do you watch EmmyMadeInJapan? She has done Clara's recipes before!
@@Margar02 I used to watch her,I like her videos
@@Margar02 ahaha lol that is exactly what I meant. The poor man feast right?
OMG! I was just talking about Clara with my mom yesterday, and I mentioned that it was so sad she had passed away and that it had made me sad back then when I found out. Now without even being subscribed to her with this new channel of mine- it popped up as a recommendation... I'm so happy to watch her and subscribe again:)!🙏💕
Me too , love this lady.
That was a hug from Clara. She's watching over her fans!
@@littlehomeinthevalley Awww, so cute- thank you! I believe so🙏🥲
I love going back time to time and rewatching. Thank You for keeping the channel up
This is such an enjoyable channel to watch! I find joy in keeping ways of the past alive. Thank you for sharing with us all!❤️
Clara was a class act her wit and wisdom I treasure she truly was part of the greatest generation

This warms my heart to see another video. I found this channel 4 years ago and I've loved it ever since.
My godmothers name was Clara, too.
The best thing about CZcams, even after she is gone we can still learn from her, still laugh with her and still eat/drink delicious affordable meals thanks to this amazing woman!
I know that I am several years late, but I would like to say thank you. Thank you Clara, for sharing your stories with the world. And thank you, Christopher, for making that possible.
Thank you to her family for sharing her. ❤️
I got my reminder set! She's the only one I've waited for to watch a premier on CZcams. I won't wait for anyone else. Lol
Same thing here, this video was my first reminder ever.
Say hi to my grandma for me
I love hearing her laugh! That was a great story about being seated to drink her coffee
Why was she insulted? I didn't quite understand that part.
@@BB.halo_heir I think it was where she was seated...that was a different day and where you were seated meant something I think but I am just guessing to...

Hello Lydia
Love her so much , she’s so comforting. Whenever I’m sad I watch Clara and think about her struggles during the depression and how I can use her inspiration as strength. Fly with the angels Clara . Your truly missed by lots ❤️
This woman has brought me joy for so many years. ❤️🙏🏻
We came for the recipes, we stayed for Clara ♥️♥️♥️
I can’t get enough of Clara. She is priceless! Thank you.
“I should’ve given her the Sicilian Eye”
Yes, but you’re too classy for that Clara.
We miss you.
I love her, she's like my grandma. So sweet, but fiesty.
I asked my husband for Clara’s cookbook for Christmas. Thank you for sharing these videos with us. They are very comforting to me.
I found this wonderful and beautiful Lady’s CZcams CHANNEL ABOUT 10 years ago and many years later I still enjoy rewatching her videos and reading here cooking book! It and her DVD and her book are still available at Walmart and Amazon today! Clara reminds me and many others of our Grandmothers and our MOMS! That a joy to watch her videos and read her cooking book!
I KNOW THAT SHE CAN HEAR AND SEE HOW MUCH WE LOVE HER SHARING! R.I.P. CLARA🙏❤🙏
PS TO HER GRANDSON…THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THIS WONDERFUL SERIES TOGETHER FOR US ALL…WHAT A WONDERFUL GIFT TO OUR WORLD ESPECIALLY NOWADAYS…AND YES I BOUGHT BOTH OF HER VIDEOS AND HER BOOKS!👍🙏❤🙏
Much respect for this woman she reminds me of my grandma who was born in 1929 she taught me wisdom, how to cook, we also come from a Sicilian family so I really enjoy watching these videos of Clara. 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.
Everytime I see Clara I smile. So I bought me an "OWL" 🦉Cookie Jar, just like hers. I fell in love with it and Clara.
I wish I knew her, how blessed her family was to have her 🙏🏻💞
CHRISTMAS ANGEL 👼
The description & photo of her MIL was absolutely hilarious. God this woman was so funny, I am so in love with this channel! Long live Clara
Aww she’s so cute talking about her mother in law ! 😂
Hello👋 Kerri how are you doing today hope you have a wonderful weekend?
Thank you for still sharing your Grandmother with us. She is a breathe of fresh air. We miss her.

Is Poor Man’s Meal the one with the hot dogs? I made that not long ago, and my boyfriend loved it - he said it’s like comfort food! I should make it again for this week’s snowstorm.
@@cgfllagc84857 Yep, I haven't tried that one but watched the video and it looks good...I should try it😊
CZcams’s algorithm introduced this lovely woman to me today and I am really glad of it! I got sad when I realized she had passed, but I hope you (channel owner/grandson) realize that keeping the channel going is still bringing people joy!
Also, I got a moka pot about 2 years ago and I haven’t used anything else since. Even my French press, which used to be my favorite
Love Clara. Coffee is Life. Love from Ireland. ☕☘💚.
I got one of these coffee pots as a gift this Christmas. I’ll make the coffee Clara’s way 😊 what a special lady.
What is it called? Do you know where it came from?
Just ordered mine... :)

She had a damn fine memory, all these little tidbits of stories from her past have such good details. Also at 5:27 I had to laugh, I didn’t know people put cheese on their fish, I dont think I’ve ever seen that.
@Brandon Johnson McDonald's automatically puts cheese on their fillet o fish I believe. LOL! I think that it's really strange. I bet that Clara probably didn't eat fast food. I don't think that it's a good idea either. 😁
When I was in elementary school, they would do that. I hated the fish, and loved cheese. But, they'd ruin the cheese, putting it on top of the fish, made it yucky! 😄
@@tinajenkins8410 🤔😁🤣
How have I not ever seen her channel before now? It’s October 30, 2021. Life was hard then; life is hard now. She is a survivor of the Great Depression and an absolute gem!! I hope and pray we too will survive the evil that is permeating our world. God Bless.
People like her should be the best example for young people today a real world and a true wholesome person
You won’t believe how big i smiled when i saw that you uploaded a new video of her. Rest in peace Clara! you’re legacy won’t be forgotten. ❤️
Such a treasure to hear her laugh, like gold.
Hello dear how are you doing over there?
I have to come back here periodically to remind myself that people who were grateful for whatever they had actually existed. Seems very rare these days unfortunately.
This is the most wholesome thing I have seen in a long time! 😭💕
What a woman! I could listen to her stories all day 🙂
Oh my gosh, my heart jumped when I saw this in my feed!
Made my day .. smiling and chuckling on Grandma’s memories
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! 😊
