Hello, I am one of “the boys” and I am writing the blog today.
At first it was really hard to get me to the market today but when we were there I was rather keen about doing the RLC.
Mum said she didn’t want something stodgy for lunch so I had an idea! It was a Vietnamese style savory mince in lettuce cups.
To half a kilo of beef mince ($4.00) I added the juice and zest of two limes (about 60 cents) and a handful of chopped coriander with garlic, ginger and fish sauce (about $1.50).
While that was browning nicely, I finely julienned a capsicum (40 cents) and served the mince and capsicum on baby cos lettuce leaves (one lettuce $1.50).

In the end, it was a tasty, zingy  lunch for $8 for 4 people

“Yum,” said mum.
