  • 93 year-old Clara Cannucciari is isn't as fazed as most when it comes to the current economic crisis. As Michelle Miller reports, she survived The Great Depression and now her cooking tips are a hit.

    She is not rude. Anyone who thinks so should actually watch her videos. She was actually a very charming elderly lady and I was addicted to her video from the start. She has her own sense of humor, and despite coming from a time before most of her viewers even THOUGHT about being born, she is very easy to connect to. Probably because she is 100% no-nonsense, while at the same time retaining a lovable personality. Not like the half ass shit my generation is cursed to have. Rip Clara. I wish I had caught her before she passed to let her know how much I appreciate her videos.

    Clara took me through a very hard time in my life. I was earning about 200/week that I had to use for rent, food transportation, tampons etc....Food was the last thing on my mind, I thought I had no budget for food and was banking on the extra fat in my body to cover that. That's until I saw Clara's depression cooking. The poor man feasting was on!

    MY son's grandmother from his father's side lived through the depression and she siad she can remember when all you had for breakfast was a biscuit, a cup of coffee, and a hard boiled egg. She would eat the biscuit with the coffee and go to school and take her egg with her. when they had recess, she would run and hide behind a bush and peel that egg and eat it real fast. LOL!
    Sometimes they were allowed sugar in their coffee, if they had any.

    I was a stay home mom most of the years my kids were young. These days though we never see that as 'enough' Although a little break from kids and all that is nice--I still have to admit I really preferred to be home. I did lots to save $ including washing diapers, and we heated with wood sometimes. Gotta admit though--Clara's right--we were quite the whiners --and I don't think the newer ones have a clue what's in store for them. But they will manage.

    I disagree partially with DKMontoya4670. I'm a mom of a 21 yr old and I stayed home with my son only a few years but enjoyed it all - cooking all our meals, using cloth diapers because they were less expensive and we had our own washer. I would have loved to stay home for many more years but went back to work. I agree - this recession can help us all focus on what's really important and learning patience again in making a home cooked meal.

    Agreed. Most working mothers/wives work because they must help their husbands support the family economically. However, there are plenty of married professional women with pre-school aged children who could stay home and take care of them and the home, but choose to work any way. In these cases I wonder if their careers, material possessions, status, etc. matter more to them than their children.
