Sole Food: Pinching pennies post-grad style

"La baguette et la sauce blanche"
*Use the fancy name and I bet it will taste just a little bit better*

Ingredients:

1. (1) baguette = 99 cents
2. 2 tablespoons of butter = 25 cents
   
3. 2 tablespoons flour = 5 cents
   
4. 1 cup of milk = ~ $2 (for half gallon of milk)
   
5. 1/4 to 1/2 package of Websters "White Wine & Herb" spice mix = $1
6. Salt and pepper = free (if you grab a couple of packets from restaurants, dining halls)
   

Total Cost: $4.29

Directions:

1. Cut baguette into 1/2 slices ( I like them thinner), set aside
2. In medium saucepan, melt butter
3. Add flour, stir for about 2 minutes over low heat
   
4. Gradually add milk, continue stirring until sauce begins to thicken
   
5. Stir in herb mix, salt and pepper
   
6. While hot, pour sauce in bowl, serve with bread
   
7. Bon appetit!
