Pork & rice one pot meal
We have an interesting household some times… Tom is working today and will be home late. He has a new job since the 1th of jan and that means long hours for the first couple of months at least, so he will probably be home around 7 pm.
Now I have to give a workshop this evening which starts at 7.30 pm and will last probably untill around 11 PM. Since I have to go to the studio before to prepare and make sure everything is good to go (it’s a large group of 9 women!) I have to be at there at 6.30 pm at the latest. Which means; that we will not see eachother for dinner. We both have a rather busy life, no kids, but a hectic social and work life; which is great to be honest, but sometimes we really have to plan to be sure we see eachother enough. Even after 17 years together we still love to spend time together, cooking (we both love to cook), eating, talking or lying lazy on the couch watching some movie or other. Last week was very busy in the evenings as well, so not a lot of quality time.
Tom is also very highly involved in a foundation that he and two friends have started. The foundation is aiming to give children with a handicap (either mental or physical) a day out with the focus on fishing. All three of the men are avid sportsfisherman and I think it’s a great initiative. But as with any great initiative it costs time and lots of planning to set things up, get enough volunteers etc. so he is actually gone tonight as well for Het peuterfonds (you can see the banner in my blogrol, although the site is in dutch)
Since we are also trying to eat more regularly our very irregular life sometimes gets in the way of that. Thankfully I didn’t have any outside jobs today, just a lot of editing of photos, but I do that at home, so I could prepare a nice lunch for myself and make enough so Tom would have a decent meal tonight as well. I normally eat something small and light in the afternoon, so this was very tasty but quite heavy. It’s an adaptation from a recipe that was in Good Food of this month. It’s very filling and quite quick to make.
