Random Ramblings about how I'm over flowing with Scottish Pride

You know what I should be doing instead of you know deciding to go all Hard core whilst celebrating ROBERT BURNS day because you know Scottish Pride?
1. Creating a comprehensive Social Media strategy plan (That's actually a legit responsibility I have at the moment that will probably have to be done sometime in the next month/month and a half) [SIDE note I'm probably going to take this plan and if everything works out work on it further and  present it to the Board during the AGM and make a case to start a Social media position on the board.]
2. Script work because I think that's something I just straight up love and also currently kind of sort of have to do, mind you I have till April.
3.  or working on my life which would be February Calendar/Goal setting, working on my own social media, and life planning (WHICH I have a lot of choices to make atm to be honest)

YOU KNOW WHAT I am doing though I'm just searching up the hundreds of Robert Burns/ Scottish Related recipes that I COULD sort of probably never ever have time to make TODAY, but hey I'm planning ahead for what I CAN MAKE next year right? EACH year make something different.

However I can more or less just MASH several recipes together because food/basic ingredients are more or less the same. Like I can make one EPIC vegetable MASH thing combining Tatties/neeps (Which are apparently essential to a Burns Supper) and I've found a vegetarian Haggis. BOOM then just have to either pick a Soup or combine everything and MAKE AN EPIC SOUP, and then make some Scottish Bannock, and then yeah pick 1-3 dessert theme recipes and create the EASIEST thing in the world which is OATCAKES (literally I made these several times last year albeit slightly different each time dependent on the reason as to why I had to make it)

Basically today will be all about vegetable prep like peeling/chopping/dicing/cubing/grating  & then SAUTEING/frying/Mashing  (because a vast majority of the things are catered around several main vegetables being prepared 4 different basic ways & then added to the various dish.)  Boom the veggies then are basically either ROASTED/FRIED/or boiled. BOOM there we have the MAIN ROBERT BURNS veggie Dishes.

the rest are pretty much Baking convection (bread/cookie etc) or stove top such as Boiling/steaming whatever I do to the pudding, then basically candy making which is letting some stuff in a PAN get SUPER freaking HOT and pouring it into respective dishes without either burning myself, burning/ruining the pan, or over heating the stuff.

SO YEAH that's my day.
Sometimes my ADHD gets the best of me. I make plans to make plans to create schedules to create to do lists to try to follow through & MY BRAIN IS JUST LIKE YEAH NO FORGET that JUNK let's spend hours on END doing ONE THING but DOING IT HARDCORE.

So Scottish PRIDE ADHD mode made me go HARDCORE for RECIPES that I may or may never ever actually make. ANd this is has been RANDOM RAMBLINGS with chelsea folks

Rantings on Why Household Inventories are Important

Chelsea's rantings on why Household Inventories are important 

So they say that your Attitude and how you spend today could be a reflection of how you spend the next year. In that case Blogging and Household inventory will be things I DO all the time. Something I have wanted to do post fire. Since you know a Household inventory would have been realllly helpful (not just a list but with photos but HEY an ACCURATE list at least) and solved lots of problems. However I wasn't smart and didn't think my little trinkets of life weren't worth recording PRE fire. In my head I was placing Household inventory with Wills. Yeah totally not the same (well very basic principal) HOUSEHOLD INVENTORY is RECORDING in thorough detail (With pictures if you can) a FULL LIST of everything in your WHOLE HOUSE.

SOUNDS tedious, sounds boring, but hey be pro active like me and make it a Household cleaning, sorting & donating project on top of tedious task of taking stock of your entire life.

Trust me when you go through an unexpected event like a fire or a flood (or whatever) and your sitting in a room that's a disaster zone and your trying to identify what is now a smoldering pile of things or your going through lists (you get back lots of lists & paperwork when dealing with Restoration/Insurance/household disaster) and You see ITEM Blank is missing from the official list even though you swear on your grave it was last in the contamination zone or you clearly remember the restoration team packing it away. Yet it somehow went missing from here to there and back and is considered non existent because it wasn't on a LIST and you can't prove where it truly last was physically seen...

Yeah When you're sitting doing that you will THANK YOURSELF or hate yourself all depending on whether you MADE THE GENIUS IDEA to MAKE A HOUSEHOLD INVENTORY of EVERYTHING. JUST ALL the things. NO JOKE because when you had 4 clorox Wipe packages but two were small and 2 were jumbo but only the 2 jumbos made it on the "LIST" You might be pretty irritated that you swore there were 4 cans of wipes but WHY OH why did you not have pictures. (this is a slight exagaration but legit point because when you're dealing with sudden Household emergency and things like Official list of contents is pretty essential because it's a list of What will and will not be monetarily replaced and that my friends is really one area where frankly if you are able to be fully compensated don't take NO for an answer SAY NO BUDDY no see here's my LIST and look I even included Photos & videos and things like date purchased/receipt /warranty location, exact quantity, or at the very least an ESTIMATE of what you paid on your nice official LIST.

You take that household inventory and YOU SHOVE it in all the faces and you BE PROUD of yourself. ALSO too this is also the perfect time to also DOUBLE tasks and prepare your will as well. Figure out if you want things to get appraised or if certain people pop out at you who mat want it if the other unthinkable thing happens...
