For help with my Thanksgiving meal, I turn to my favorite chef--Clara. Clara is in her 90s. And, if you don't know Clara, she grew-up during the Depression and she has her own little internet cooking show called "Depression Cooking." She cooks meals from the Depression era. I featured two videos about Clara on Big Frog a while back--she showed us how to make dandelion salad and fried mushrooms. Now, I'm turning to Clara with help making bread.

After watching this video, I'm pretty confident I can do it. Enjoy!

If you've never watched Clara before, she is in her 90s and she has a web-show called Great Depression Cooking. She cooks dishes that were popular when she was a child growing up during the Great Depression.
