I have not realized that Thursday is another day of the week that is crazy busy and today it really hit me now when Freddie is out of town and can’t rely that he will be home while I running in and out like a mad man. So I decided this morning I would do some chores around the house and go to Costco to stock up on some meat before I had to pick Mira up from school at 11.30. When we got home we she was helping me to put everything a way and making her own smoothie with fruit, this is a big step for her, as she does not like either fruit or vegetables.

So with a plan ahead I started to prepare dinner for this evening and I was really longing for some slow cooked tender meat so I thought I would get everything ready in my big iron pot. I didn’t dare leaving it the gas stove so I put the pot in the oven to cook slowly. Meanwhile Mira and me went to the gym, but as always I managed to leave the house 15 minutes late but I still achived a 45 minutes medium-intensity workout on the Stairmaster.

Straight from the gym we went to pick up Mira’s friend for their gymnastic class and from there it just rolled on. In between the pick ups and drop offs I had a change to check on the casserole. We were home just before 7pm and the house was freezing but an amazing aroma came from the oven that made us even hungrier. We hurried to have shower and had dinner on the floor in front of the fire…

A very cozy end to a very busy afternoon…
