Oh, does she remind me of my great grandma Marcie, who lived to be 103. She was amazing. She lived through the depression too. I remember watching her make biscuits and after she rolled out the dough and cut it out, she would brush the leftover flour back in the flour bag. Still many years after living through the depression, she still cooked and lived frugally. What an impression she had on me.
She was a fireball. She started drinking coffee at such a young age. She loved her coffee. When she was younger, her and her husband made an agreement. She was not going to drink coffee and my Grampy was not going to chew tobacco. As I remember it a few days went by and they did pretty good. Then one day, he came home and gave her a kiss and she smelled tobacco on his breath. She calmly got up and made a pot of coffee and drank it. He knew and they never talked about it they just continued on in their silent agreement. She drank her coffee and he chewed his tobacco.
Oh! How I love that story. I miss her dearly but will never forget all the stories and sweet memories.
So this gal who does Great Depression Cooking is a little like her with her stories and such. I hope you enjoy her video.

Thanks for the video. My grandmother used to make something very similar to that and I loved it. I used to go over to her house every week for dinner and would always request that. I didn't know it was something that other people made :)
Oh, that's such a cute story, Keilah. :)
Oh that Clara. how did you find that? she is adorable and i also have fond memories of my grandma being a little like that. I'm totally gonna do that dinner. do you buy nitrate free dogs? i haven't bought hot dogs in 3 years. Keep up the good work keeping those dollars down. Pass any tips and tricks my way.
