Thank you for making videos with story and cooking.
This takes me back to when I was growing up as a kid, we used to always gather round our elders for stories from their youth, also around the holidays I used to help cook for posadas and we get to share all sorts of stories.

Clara this was wonderful. To those that can't respect the purpose of what she's doing here on YouTube trying to help families survive during this economic time, at least respect the fact that she's lived long enough to not have to put up with crap from from idiots.
