Budget Fare--Monday Menu

I must say that the Budget Fare menu doesn't mess around. There are no little extras here, nosireebob!

Breakfast: The usual items but with tomato juice instead of OJ. I think OJ works better.

Luncheon: Sandwich? Good. Celery sticks, carrot sticks, and apple? Good. A bouillon cube in a cup of hot water? Yuck. I poured it down the drain. I'm not sure what the point was since it was made with one of the bouillon cubes! Negative nutrition in that one.

Dinner: I was frightened. It called for frankfurters again. I decided that I would go with the Hebrew Nat'l. beef franks after someone recommended it. I looked it up and liked what I saw. And they were GOOD!

The sauerkraut was OK. I got the store brand and should have gone to the health food store to get the really good stuff. The store brand was more tart. I decided against caraway seeds since we don't like them and a tiny jar cost $5.

The Grapefruit and Green Pepper Salad was a HIT with my son. It was actually pretty good. It made a nice presentation and then I chopped it all up so it could be eaten together. I would prefer the ratio to be more salad than grapefruit, though.

Grapefruit and Green Pepper Salad

1/2 cup grapefruit sections
2 strips, 1/2" green pepper
Shredded lettuce

Arrange the grapefruit on shredded lettuce. Garnish with the green pepper strips.
