My mom tells me her mother would top everything she could with Velveeta. To
this day, my mother cannot stand any cheese at all except string cheese. I
can't blame her.
When I was in school, I usually qualified for the free lunch school program.
For a while there, I also was getting to school early enough to get free
breakfast also. The food wasn't always the greatest but I was happy to have
food to eat period.

I never had horrible food. It was mostly just bland.
Even now, as a single divorcee, I am thankful my mom taught me how to cook.
Some men I know, who are my age, can barely manage using a microwave.

8 c Water
3 c Beef Broth
1 ea Carrot; Chopped
1 ea Celery Stalk; Chopped

Soak beans overnight. In a 3-quart saucepan bring beans, water and
beef froth to a boil. Cook for about 1 hour. Add carrot and celery
and continue cooking for 30 minutes. In a separate frypan cook the
bacon until transparent. Add the onions; cook until golden. Set
aside. Mash soup through a sieve or food mill. Return to pan and add
the bacon onion mixture, salt and pepper. Add frankfurters; reheat
about 5 minutes. Sprinkle soup with chopped parsley and serve.
MMMMM
