    She said on the tomato sauce episode that she knew God put her here for a reason, she just didn't know what it was. This was the reason.. to show a social media dependant generation how to survive in hard times. Thank so much for blessing the world with the opportunity to learn from such a wonderful woman.

      Hallelujah.. my mom was born in 1925.. and her mom my Wonderful Gramma in 1901.. they went through the Depression.. I still remember the stories They told of RECIEVING tickets to buy only a certain amount of flour.. Sugar.. salt etc.. I was born at the end of 1945... I too seen some ruff times Growing up.. food.. clothes shoes...etc.. we were poor..we got Meat for dinner ONLY ON SUNDAY.. Unless my stepdad killed wild game and brought it to her.. rabbit.. Squirrel's.. frog's ( for frog legs). Eel.. fish.. pheasant.. Deer... So because of our Garden ..& neighbors my mom put 3 meals aday on the table.. we wasted nothing.. left overs were heated up and a new item added to make a new meal.. and you ate what was cooked.. what you put on your plate.. if you didn't eat it.. your plate went in the refrigerator for the next day for you to eat... Like I said we were poor..we wasted nothing... .. my mom's Old Clothes became my new clothes and my old clothes became my sister's new clothes.. my Mom even used her old clothes to make shirts for my brother.... ..

I’m germinating, and planting out potato’s, bell peppers, peas, tomatoes, and building my hen house god willing. Can’t wait to share my harvest with family and neighbors. Going back and prioritizing through hard times to come, a more simple sustainable localized way of life.

      My great grandmother was born to two Italians from Naples. When I was either in middle school or high school (I forget), I did an ancestry report for class. I asked her “Grandma, are we from Naples or Sicily - I forget.” I’ll never forget her response, because I’d never seen such a look of horror and shock (and basically offensive disgust) from her lol.
      She turned around and stared right into my soul and said slowly and clearly, “WE ARE FROM NAPLES AND DON’T YOU EVER FORGET IT!!” I didn’t; that’s for sure! She was the most wonderful relative in my whole family and was always jovial and cracking jokes - that was the most serious I’d ever seen her.
      I initially couldn’t understand why she came off as being offended for my simple request for clarification, but later on I figured it out: there was quite the difference in the peoples and culture from central Italy and the southern island of Sicily. For the most part, Sicilians were generally much darker from having been more affected by breeding with Africans in their history, to the point that northern and central ltaIians thought of them as basically bIack and not related haha.

      I bet your Nonna could cook! If you haven't you should check out Buono a Petiti. Gina Is an older Sicilian lady and still has a very heavy Italian accent. I absolutely adore her! The first video I watched of her she was making dough in a large tote with about 20 POUNDS of flour!! She never even broke a sweat and at one point her grandson (who is the videographer)if she was having a hard time and she says 'Ahhhh it's not so hard' and THAT is why you don't mess with an Italian Momma/Nonna! She has the strength in her forearms to backhand you across a room if you backtalk her! LOL

      LimitlessThinker I’m full blooded Italian and I miss all of the cooking my family did. Homemade pasta, pasta sauce (though some call it gravy I learned) simmering for up to 3 days on the stove top, big meatballs, ravioli, and so much more. Though I was born in the U.S. I’m very blessed to be raised with a lot of Italian traditions.

      The Great Depression began in 1929 and didn't really end until WWII. There was no where near the amount of assistance that is available today back then. People had only a few changes of clothing and a pair of shoes. We stand in front of our packed closets and moan,"I don't have a thing to wear"! Until a person has a conversation with someone who went through the Great Depression they have no idea how hard it was.

Never ever wore makeup or shaved her legs was her natural self never smoked did drugs or got drunk. She was born in 1907 died aged 95 no women like her around no more and she was strong and fit. Said never complain about anything and work hard in all you do. Her other moto was if you make a mistake learn from it dont repeat it and release and move on.
