A busy #morning - up and out of the house for a rare (I never find the time) 😉 Saturday workout at @9roundpakenham (8.45am).

Home by 9.45am to make 5 X #christmaspudding #christmascake #fruitcake and have them all in the #crockpots by 11.00am (you can see the aftermath of #flour on my workout gear, hands and even side of my face 😁).

I then went out again (12.00 noon) to cook this evening's meal for 3 parish priests and just got home (1.30pm) for lunch, before heading out again soon!

5 X #christmaspudding #christmascake #fruitcake in the #crockpots since 11.00am this morning. - HIGH setting for 6 to 10 hours.

#realife post - I'm making #dinner and about to also make a large pot of #stock (might need two pots with the amount of #frozen bones in that bag). I'm also about to make #spaghettibolognese in my other #crockpots as well 😳

Yes there is #mess (I was out all morning till 12noon) - #breakfast is still out, groceries haven't been put away, and I've got various ingredients all over the kitchen to cook the spaghetti sauce. The the sink has dishes, the dishwasher needs to go on, but this is the real life that you don't often get to see on Instagram.

What's for #dinner ?

#oysterbladesteaks in the #slowcooker. Just defrosting the #beefstock I made weeks ago before pouring into the pot.

Never believe everything you see on Instagram.

My lunch today was quick (as I had leftover #salad already made up in the fridge and just quickly fried up some #salami to go on top.

But my #kitchen is a #mess. I've been out since school drop-off, done a #workout and another if you count the #grocery shop and lifting in and out of the car too.

Shopping is all over the bench and still in bags on the floor, plus I'm also trying to sort out #dinner tonight (hence the #crockpots out and the #multifry - AS STILL NO OVEN - amongst the clutter). But I needed to stop for #lunch first 💪😳 #keepingitreal #messykitchen #needcoffee

My #crockpots are getting a good workout (I've got several 😉😁).

#honey #carrots with #dill and #garlic #oliveoil #snowpeas in foil.

#cream #potatoes with #leek #spinachleaves #garlic #onion #saltnpepper and later will add #parmesancheese

Both on LOW setting.
