This is a higher resolution version of Clara's Poorman's Meal video. It was shot in SD and now up-resed to HD. Not perfect, but a big improvement from the 2007 YouTube standard of 144p! This was the very first meal we filmed for her show.
Clara shares a simple recipe known as the poor man's meal. This is my interpretation of her recipe for 2 separate meals for 2 people.

Captain Convey Note
Bidenomics is about to hit the fan and you would do well to be prepared for a DEPRESSION!
Inflation continues to rise.
Its Not demand side inflation.
FED rate hikes can only impact the demand side of the inflation issue.
U.S (and global) inflation is NOT the result of excess demand.
It has not been driven by demand for over a year.
The root cause of inflation is on the supply side.
That root is grounded in the energy policy making everything entering the marketplace more expensive.
The historic rise in energy prices;
The result of Joe Biden’s specific energy policy to limit oil, gas and coal as energy resources; are what have driven inflation throughout the economy.
The monetary policy (Fed policy) continues to pretend this dynamic does not exist. The FED is trying to support the political policy,
The FED is led by the corporation named UNITED STATES, in capital letters denoting a corporation name, which is located in the district of columbia, DC.
"Food and energy prices continue driving inflation, additionally core inflation (everything except food and energy) continues to be driven by the originating issue of extreme energy costs.
Everything costs more because energy costs more. That is the reality of this inflation issue.
I feel like we are living in a parallel universe, where this grand game of pretense continues.
Every financial pundit knows the root cause of inflation is Joe Biden’s energy policy, yet they maintain the lies in order to protect the regime.
Raising interest rates in a supply side inflation economy only does one thing, it makes the economy contract faster. The only reason to intentionally shrink the economy is to try and reduce the demand for energy resources as part of the “transition to a green economy.” Together, the Biden administration and Federal Reserve are trying to lower economic output to meet a lowered amount of energy being produced. That is the reality of our situation.
They are destroying the working and middle class in order to chase their climate change agenda.
