Dinner Tonight

There we were sitting have coffee, as we do most Saturday mornings, deciding what to have for dinner.  It's not that we are lazy - Bella and I have already been to the gym, Bella has now gone off to Math tutoring, (Saturday morning tutoring makes us sound so Asian)  Josh has been to soccer (he is very sweaty as you would be after playing soccer in 30 degree heat) with Matthew, and Mikaela - well she is still locked in her room studying - Saturday coffee is our indulgent time  to just stop.
But back to dinner.  Matthew had cooked a wonderful pulled pork roast a few weeks ago, that he was telling Red and Iggy about last night, so we decided to do it again.
Josh walked home and  Matthew and I headed over to the markets to stock up for dinner - 6 stalls later and 285,000 VND about 13 AUD, we have all that we need.  This is what we bought:

2kg Pork Shoulder - 180,000 - $8.00;
6 Bread rolls 10,000 (50 Cents);
5 Mangoes 45,000 ($2.00);
3 carrots, 3 cucumbers, 1 onion 15,000 (80 cents); 2 Chinese cabbages 10,000 (50 Cents);
2 peeled pineapples 25,000 ($1.00).

The Pork is now in the oven for the next 6 hours - and we are now heading off for Pho.
