Hint for defrosting:
Keep some salt around (whatever kind of salt suits your fancy). When you forget to defrost something, heat up half a gallon or a gallon of water (hot faucet water is fine) and dissolve some salt in it, like half a cup. Toss in some wine, vinegar, spices etc. if you feel like it. Then toss in your frozen meat.
It will defrost quickly AND BONUS: brine at the same time. Brining changes the protein structure so it cooks up better, keeps more moisture.

Yes, I need to do that more. Last night I didn't plan my meal. At 5:30ish, I looked around, the meat was frozen... while I was waiting for it to defrost and cook I was eating this coconut milk "ice cream" - sugar! I am OK, but not a habit I want to form.... LOL.
Sugar can give me headaches, I have to be careful about it.
