It was ...
Roasted marinated pork - 1$ for marinade and 4$ for 1.20 pounds of pork.
That sounds very nice.
roasted carrots and turnips - 50c for the bunch of carrots and the single turnip.
and ... String beans stir fried with soy sauce and spices. - 4$
String beans I can happily leave but the rest of it sounds delicious.
I think she miss charged me for the carrots, I got a bunch of carrots, I mean like, 8 smallish carrots and it only costs 60¢ to be exact. If carrots are that cheap I'm gonna buy them more often. Roasted carrots rule!
Carrots are dirt cheap, as are turnips. Roasted carrot and a little bit of cumin is awesome. Try roasting them in a little balsamic vinegar and oil as well, it's great.
The best part of course, no left overs. Everyone had their chunk of pork and three vegetables side. I love cooking wins like that. 
I like just enough leftovers to make one lunch for me in work, and that's it. Maybe enough to make two lunches but only if I can freeze one. I hate eating the same thing for days on end. Leftover curry and chili and boeuf bourguignon and so on are great though and I usually make at least double portions so there's some for the freezer. Makes life much easier when you work long hours.
The turnip wasn't a big hit though. I thought it was ok, my one roommate thought it was bleh but went well with the pork, my other roommate liked it a lot though.
Mmmmmmm, turnip. Mashed with loads of salt and black pepper. Dribble. in fact, that's what I'm having for dinner.

Well, leftovers means you have less taste for the money, of course.
