Each year, our extended family living in nearby states come to our parent’s house to celebrate the holidays.
This has been a tradition ever since I was a child, therefore, we are typically prepared to entertain a house full of people while in that time of year.
I have had some of our fondest memories while spending time with our extended family. It’s typically good when they visit, as well as especially after the pandemic, spending time with them has become that more meaningful. While our family is in town, our parents as well as I make sure that they have delicious apartment cooked meals as well as enough to eat, however sometimes it feels like we spend most of our time in the kitchen, then both of us are foodies as well as we like to eat, so there is typically something baking in the oven or cooking on the stove. Having the stove on while in the mornings created additional heating for our parent’s home. I can recall a few times when we decided to turn off the heat because the kitchen as well as kitchen became too warm due to the non-stop use of our oven. Stoves should never be used to heat the apartment as they were not designed for that purpose. However, turning off the Heating as well as Air Conditioning program while the oven was on did conserve energy, all homeowners are interested in saving money on their energy bills, as well as when you have a large number of people inside your home, energy consumption will genuinely increase. Therefore, if we could turn off the heat for a few minutes each afternoon, it would be a tremendous amount of savings for us. In addition, the money we save on our energy bill could be used to purchase more food for our foodie family.
