Our EV6 is quiet, the drive is the smoothest I’ve ever had in a car, the acceleration is instant. And our charging costs per month are about 1/3 what I was paying to fuel a gas hybrid. Usually costs us about $25/month to charge the car.

Having been an electric vehicle owner for over a year and a half now, I’m starting to realize how spoiled I’ve become.

Had to get a rental and was given a ICE Jeep. Going back seems awful, from the vibrations of the engine, the noise, the anemic acceleration, it’s an overall inferior experience.

Broccoli cheddar soup with bread bowl.

I Actually feel like I got the béchamel really creamy. Taking your time and incorporating the milk over really low heat seems to make the difference.

Wordpress.com is a good option. Free to build, depending on what your needs are, it would cost to register a domain (i.e rachaelmarie.com) and depending on your hosting needs, it might cost you a yearly fee to host it.

Second of 2 baguettes made today to go with our hearty beef stew that was slow-simmered this evening (not pictured). It’s hovering around 20° right now and nice to have something warm and hearty in my belly this evening. #homemade #sourdough #baguette

“How long do they last,” I asked him. He told me about 8 or 9 years and I reassured him we would get it fixed.

Today I fixed it, thanks to the parts my brother-in-law had ordered before the holidays. New rollers, idler pulley, and of course a new dryer belt.

Dad would be pleased.

My mom had just showed me how her dryer was making a horrible noise. Then we were in the living room talking about how to get it fixed while dad was seemingly in and out of sleep. We didn’t think he was paying attention when he suddenly said, “you know dyer belts don’t last forever.”

“You know dyer belts don’t last forever.”

That was one of the last things my dad said to me. The afternoon before he went into in-patient hospice care, my sister, mom and I were all tending to him at home since he was having a bad day.

After a post Xmas meet up with my partner’s mother, they gifted me with this bottle of Michter’s Sour Mash. A delightful bottle, really, with a sweetness and savory like French toast and maple syrup. #whiskey #tastingnotes
