Fried Rice

1 cup uncooked rice (you can use more)      
4-5 slices of diced bacon and drippings  
3-4 eggs            
3-4 cut green onions - tops and all
½ cup frozen peas and carrot combination (thawed)
Soy sauce to taste
Leftover bits of port, beef or ham, chopped into small pieces (optional)

     Cook and cool rice a day ahead (or use leftovers), or at least earlier in the day. (It's better if the rice has had a chance to dry out a bit). Brown the bacon in a large heavy skillet until crisp. Remove bacon and turn down heat. Lightly beat eggs and pour them into the hot bacon drippings. Add rice and onions; mix together. Add bacon and leftover meat. Mix. Add soy sauce until the rice is as brown as you like it. Toss in thawed peas and carrots. Stir well and cook on low heat for 15-20 minutes.
