Great Depression Cooking with Clara
Clara hopes that none of us ever have to experience what she did during the depression.
Over the years Clara has imparted her Great Depression experiences to her grandchildren as she cooked meals from the era. The meals were simple and delicious, the stories were a mixture of misfortune and comedy, and in the end Clara kept us both entertained and stuffed to the gills.
The magic of Clara is that she can turn lemons into lemonade and potatoes into just about everything else. She had a childhood that most of us can’t imagine, but she was able to make the best of it and turn those trials into lessons we can all learn from.

The world is full of cooking experts, but there's only one Clara Cannucciari. The 93-year-old chef has become a Web sensation thanks to her Web series, "Depression Cooking With Clara."
Ms. Cannucciari was recently profiled on "Good Morning America," and searches on the suddenly famous foodie rose like soufflé on steroids. Folks want to know more about her, as well as where they can see the chef strut her stuff. Lookups on "clara cannucciari videos" are through the roof, and related queries on "clara cannucciari biography" are also on the rise.
According to the interview with "GMA," Ms. Cannucciari learned her style of cooking from her mother during the Great Depression. Her mother was an expert at making tasty and healthy meals for not much money, and that's the kind of knowledge Ms. Cannucciari imparts to her audience. These days, such tips especially come in handy. For those looking to stretch their budget she recommends pasta, and lots of it.
The cooking sensation is currently working on a DVD that compiles all her videos with some help from her grandson. In the meantime, you can check out her delightful recipe for pasta and peas. As Clara puts it, "It's a very simple dish, but it's very tasty and good for you."
Bon appétit!

Wham Bam, Thank You, Ma'am...

Good Morning All;
So Yah~FREAKIN'~Hoo just ate my entire damned blog...
I start over, knowing full well that it won't be "morning" anymore by the time I finish. (I am NOT amused)! Maybe it is still "morning" somewhere.
Bear with me...
Snowstorm "Julia" is gone- But she sure came sweeping in, in a very fast and furious way. The sun shines so brightly this morning, making it hard to believe that this all happened within an 18 hour time frame...
I had to go to the Suamico post office yesterday to mail a package. Snowstorm "Julia" was predicted to arrive around 5PM.
We left at 3.
My yard as we pulled out of the garage.
Skies were threatening, and we knew she was coming.
Incidentally, I did rescue Punks orange toy before the storm.
Getting to Suamico takes all of about 5 minutes as long as the train isn't going through..
Ditto for the amount of time I was inside at the Post Office. (No train there either). hehehe
Still when I came OUT of the post office, my car was already lightly iced and topped with snow.
.
Where did THAT come from???
Even Punk is looking like "What the hey?"
And you can't even see tire tracks!
Julia was nasty~fast...
.
.
It might have taken us a bit longer to get home... - If there is ice/snow on your car, there is ice/snow on the road too.
My kids remember me telling them that over and over again.
.
.
.
As I mentioned in my comments last night, I knew my apprehensive feelings would pass as I slept. They have.
(Having gotten significantly better when I knew that both Greg and Kelli made it back to their respective homes safely last night). Greg was the holdout there; taking over an hour to return home after "quittin' time"-
To add insult to injury he wound up mired in the snow in his own parking lot!
hehehe
Glad I didn't have to go anywhere.
Happier still that I don't have to go anywhere today either because God knows it'd be tough to even get out of my yard!
Oh yes, that is a shot of my driveway last night.
Somewhere!
(I love the night vision setting on my camera). ;-)
.
.
.
My yard last night...
Taken from my bedroom window
.
.
.
Of course Punk wanted to check it all out for herself.
(Claimed she had to go potty)!
hehehe
.
.
While I do like the "decoration" on the window,
I had to first wrap my mind around the handle of that door...
.
.
.
That is just WRONG!
Yes, the door had been closed, (and it is also magnetized).
I had to forcibly push the door open.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Even the "dipstee~dumpster" looked nicer with a topper!
.
.
.
The back yard too!
And from almost the same angle this morning...
.
.
.
Major points for "pretty"
(If you are into that sort of thing)...
.
.
.
.
The shadows from the birches and the pussy willows are pretty too!
(Again, if you are into that sort of thing). - heheheI would have had this posted much sooner, but having lost it was one thing-
.
.
.
My yard at sunrise...
.
.
?
And looking toward the West
- Having the plow truck come was another.
Jim is still in Tennessee, so I didn't know if I would get plowed out or not (he comes home tomorrow). - Sam's dad had picked up Jim's truck and come to plow me out! (Neighbors, and friends like this mean the world to me).
Of course I went out there and shovel away from the house and the garages too. I'm no fool. When there is horsepower in the yard to pull the snow away and out, I will take advantage of that anytime!
Time for me to fly!
Note: The following two statements do NOT apply to those of you that are south of the Mason-Dixon Line.
Hope you are plowed out. And hope you are warm!
Love to all!
