Combined dinner

For tonight I have, once again, left overs from yesterday and fresh meat that is being defrosted.

Hint: Defrost the meat overnight by taking it out of the freezer and storing it in the fridge overnight. In the morning place the meat in a bowl and put it away somewhere (in my case in the cold cupboard, away from my cat and any flies:-)) If you wish to cover it, don't use plastic bag or cling film, just another plate or bowl. If it is very warm, cook(fry it a bit, to prevent going off or developping bacterias.
You can marinate meat by adding a few spoonfulls of a sauce of your choice before frying it. I cut pork in tiny slices and left it marinating in mild curry sauce till evening. With boiled rice, I have a quick meal. If you are on a budget, don't go for basmanti rice, use ordinary, cheap stuff. You can flavor it by adding a small spoon of turmeric to the  water before you start boiling rice.

By defrosting food overnight you save energy (you don't use microwave!).
