Learning Frugality From the Depression Era

Many cultures revere the elderly as people of great wisdom and knowledge.  As today is often compared to the depression era, we should take some time and turn to our elders who have been “through tough times” and survived.  Clara, a 91 year “young” cook who hosts a web show, Great Depression Cooking, provides insight into living cheaply and surviving on limited resources.

She is an endearing woman with a charisma and charm that make you feel at home. She makes simple meals with simple ingredients.  While she cooks she entertains with stories of the depression, which always end with “but we survived.”  In these challenging times, there is so much we can learn from those who have been there before, and have made it out.

This is one of my favorite recipes, the poor man’s meal.  Cheap, easy, and delicious!
