Hot Slut Of The Day!

She's still rockin' at 91! Her stories are great--and best of all, she's not full of herself. Even at this age she is still giving.

i heart clara!

I love Clara--what a beautiful lady. This actually brought me to tears, reminding me of my Grandma. My parents lived through the Depression, and my dad would tell us stories about how they would eat a big mound of potatoes every night, with a little piece of meat at the top, with some gravy; and how much they savored that bite of meat.

For the love of all that is hairy, WHY DOES ANYONE CARE ABOUT THIS TWATWAFFLE??????? --Sugaroo

OMG! she's so gorgeous! i officially think she is a national treasure!

I ADORE her and that big pile of stodge - yum!

Does anyone have any info on where she is from?

I vote we all post Clara a pair of sox... she still seems a bit depressed about the depression.

Come on - let's all send her SOCKS!

My parents grew up in the Depression. My mom had potato soup every Monday through Saturday if every week growing up. On Sundays, they would have chicken. The only reason they got chicken was because my great-grandmother's sister lived on a farm.

My dad's family was even more poor. He would get an orange for Christmas and be happy about it.

Nanners> That's why I think people should take their kids traveling (if they can afford it)...just to see how the rest of the world lives & maybe appreciate what *they* have!

ant> I feel ya. They did the same to me...although I think it's like 25%! Wtf?! And I have AWESOME credit so what's the deal?

I'd be depressed too if I had to eat that $hit.

She shoulda gave that garden stealin ho the beat down!

Clara's totally hot slut of the day...the food? Not so much!

I know times are still tough, but will someone please buy Clara a proper vegetable peeler? I have used the same one she is using & it is tedious as all hell, my mom bought me a new one & its amazing how much more efficient it is.

Where is the standard bacon fat sammie?

What an awesome old memaw. Reminds me of my grandpa's homemade french fries I used to beg him to make when I was little. His cooking was awesome. Until he tried to make me eat the frog legs he used to always have out on top of the microwave. "It'll grow some hair on your chest!"

crazy times

Clara said that her Grandson's friends liked the food too and came over for it. I suspect it's more than that. I bet they see comfort in her home and persona; the fact that somebody will actually care enough for them to stick around that long.

I've had a hankering for some greasy starchy carbs since watching these vids this morning - especially pasta & peas!

I think you guys are right when you say that people who feel entitled will keep on feeling entitled no matter what the economy is doing. Some people will wake up though. The people who are thrifty -don't have cable, etc are people who were thrifty before the 'crisis'. After college I got married and moved to DC. Holy shit, was that expensive. Guess what? We didn't have cable...and for two years we didn't have television. We cut out all the extra stuff...put ourselves on a budget ...even gave ourselves an allowance. Well, we were completely debt free (including college loans) by 25 years old! I can't tell you how proud I am of our hard work and frugality. I never thought we did without. I'm not saying everyone can do that...but a hell of a alot can. BUT, they must have EVERYTHING..and are killing themselves keeping up with the jones. I'm not talking about the poor here...just the middle class idiots who want the world & and expect the rest of us to pay for it.

I hear ya Mabel!

That looked delicious!! Clara, you look great and a great cook...so nice to watch....Thanks for the recipe, I will try it!!

Between two evils, I always pick the one I never tried before.

i cooked with my nana and her crew the other day, let me tell you, those sluts didn't wash their hands ONCE! i was waiting, they shifted their wigs, took food out their dentures, pulled up their knee highs and dug in their tits for a dollar bill, then they went back to cooking .. i was like 'there's no way in hell i could eat this food, it's so unsanitary' but like nanas do, she shoved a sample FROM HER FINGER TO MY MOUTH and that shyt was hella good and i stopped tripping - something about grannies that don't wash their hands that still makes the food alright!? now if papa wanted to fix a meal, i'd be like HELL NO! i know for a fact that he doesn't always wipe his azz properly!

i've made basically this same dish, but with kielbasa, green peppers, garlic. i never put the tomato sauce in... that could be interesting

Nanners! No shit!! WELL PUT.

But you forgot about their ciggies and beer fund, too.

My husband and I are working our tails off with our company so we can have success and get out of the suburbs we live in and have money for our kids to do things, like school trips and go to college some day.

We don't have cable, we don't get the paper, we don't go out to eat, we rent 99 cent movies as a treat..... And there's an over-fed cow at our church who smokes, has a 100-a-month cable bill, newspaper, cell phone HANGING OFF OF HER BELT (are you listening, MK?!!) and she weeps to the congregation asking for handouts....

Fuck them all. I have NO sympathy. And to all those FUCKTWATS who got in over their heads with bubble mortgages and to the CAVE DWELLING family----I'm not fucking bailing any of you shit out, you idot fucking shitweasles!!!!!!!!!!!!

SUCK.

IT.

UP!!!!!!!!!!

(But let me tell you how I*really* feel....)

Oh my gosh, how cute is she!

********************************************

I've written a letter to MK...saying...I...love...youuuuuu.

Aww, I loved this...reminds me of my grandmother. *tear*

Holy shit! She had hot dogs? My dad was born in 1929 in the panhandle of Texas and they lived around people who didn't have fucking bowls. They ate beans from hollowed out places on the table. They waited in bread lines. And this woman quit school because she coudn't bear going to school without stockings?!

My dad once lived in a motherfucking tent with a dirt floor--he went to school painted from head to toe with purple gentian once because he was covered in impetigo. He kept going to school---and went to fucking MIT on the GI bill.

Sorry if I'm not impressed with Grammy's trashplate, but it's no wonder her satisfaction in life derives from feeding the douch-masses. She aint no feminist! When I was in college (that I paid for on my own 100%) I was so poor (Dad believed in tough love) that I ate fucking white flour mixed with water, salt and baking powder that I baked into tortillas. I put lettuce and tomatoes from my 3x5 ghetto garden inside of them for sustenance.

NO SHIT.

Love,
Mabel

Me mudduh used to make Pasta Potaddd (Pasta and potatoes) with 'mater sauce. We'd put parmesan cheese in it. That was a standard Halloween night meal. Now I make it for my lil croutons (who are biggern me) and my Irish husband who loves the potatoes for crimmus sakes.

Stocky this is quite a delicious meal u've given us...an appetizer, an entree, a desert, and a delightful beverage

Dinner at Stocky's tonight!

I think u should ask Clara to be your dinner date

this is just what i needed this morning...i was fretting bout some bill stuff...nothing like a wonderful grandmother to remind u of the important stuff...my self-pity has turned to gratitude!

Thanks Clara!

You can get out of high school for not having socks? I wish that were true when I was stuck there for four godawful years.

OMG, she is awesome. I love her and best of all SHE HAS THE SAME CABINET KNOBS AS ME!!! My house is old and it still has the same painted china knobs it had when I moved in. I hope this is a sign that I will be as hot as Clara when I am 91!!

What a doll!
Reminds me of my great aunt who used to give me some awesomely handy tips in the kitchen. That woman could feed 4 people with 25 cents I swear!

OH Bless that Clara *S*

It seemed to be an annual event right around Christmas the International Long Shoremen's union would go out on strike. My grandmother would feed her four grandchildren and four adults with carb loaded meals. She would buy day old loaves of Italian bread and smother them with a delicious white bean soup, make macaroni with potatoes, macaroni with beans, macaroni with every possible vegetable drowned in a red sauce and my all time fave French fried potatoe hero. YUM
SHe also made something similar to poor mans meal but she would not use hot dogs. She declared hotdogs the most unfit thing in the world. She wouldnt even feed them to the dog. Nope, she go buy three or four italian sausages from the butcher. Sometimes, you just have to splurge on a bit of quality she would tell us.

Awwwww. I just watched every video. And I'm at work. I just couldn't stop. She is adorable and reminds me of my grandma. And then I got sad because I get so irritated every time my grandma repeats stories to me. I should never get irritated with her. She forgot my favorite Depression meal though: hamburger gravy. Although, I guess that was more of a WWII meal.

Hot dogs are disgusting NOW, can you even imagine what was in them during the depression?? No rules in those hot dog factories, I'm sure. I can't even imagine.

------------------------------------------

That's some "THE JUNGLE" shit! I like the melted down assholes and membranes and whatever makes a hot dog a hot dog. My BF bought a hot dog franchise when he got of school and let me tell you, people don't give a flying fuck what's in the hot dogs! In fact, they often up the ante by asking us to, no lie, BUTTER THE BUN ("BOTH SIDES!") or slather that shit in extra heavy mayo. Shameless!

We need to learn these lessons from our grandparents' generation and drop our sense of entitlement.
----------------------
I don't think that will ever happen. Unless people are raised without the comforts they will always expect them to be there. How many people do you know who would willingly go without cable or internet to save money for essentials? They NEED to go to Starbucks every morning, eat out 5 times a week and dry clean things that could be washed and ironed at home.

"I had to drop out of high school... We couldn't afford socks."

We need to learn these lessons from our grandparents' generation and drop our sense of entitlement. I know the world has changed since that era, but what ever happened to the value of good and hard work.

Why don't I ever see kids with part-time jobs these days? Bag boys at the grocery store have become old men looking for income to supplement their social security (sadness), and newspaperboys are guys throwing the papers from their cars. Kids think their parents owe them everything the world has to offer -- growing up in the 80s I used to be one of those children.
