Dinning In

Here is how we spent our evening.

Early this morning I put four pork chunks called "carnitas" usually reserved for grilling and on sale at HEB this weeks at a tremendous price... our two pound pack was less than five dollars, into the crock pot. I added a splash of orange juice and some onions. Then I let it simmer on low for about four hours.

Three and hald hours later I mixed the juice from a can of Dole Pineapple chunks with half a cup of sugar and some sliced jalepenos . I let this simmer in a non stick pan for about 30 minutes.

Top the pork which is by now falling off the fork with the sauce and served with roasted potatoes...delicious. We had four servings.

Pork- 4.50
Pineapple- .99
Sugar- .12
jalepeno- .04 cents
Potatoe- .1.50 (4)

Seven dollars and eleven cents for four people.
