My hubby is a real chef, and it’s an amazing perk in our relationship for yours truly, and his family believes this is how you demonstrate care about to the people you hold dear, so I reap the rewards of his passion for cooking, but every night he makes me an amazing gourmet meal with the utmost concern and care for each component of lunch, making it as perfect as could be.
I care about his extra culinary skills, however I have to say that it can make life more extravagant, especially when my buddy and I get our energy bill at the end of the month.
You see, our living room isn’t set up with enough ventilation for the serious level of cooking that he performs every night. There aren’t enough air vents to supply cool air conditioned air to the area, which makes heat build up in the space. To compensate for all the heat, my buddy and I regularly have to turn the air conditioner settings way up and drop the temperature far lower than normal. These setting alterations affect the entire house because my buddy and I only have a central cooling unit, so my buddy and I unnecessarily pump high quality air to the wrong parts of our home, wasting a ton of energy in trying to cool the one room, then my associate and I also have no air outtake ventilation, and the living room often gets filled with smoke from sauteeing foods at high temperatures. My associate and I have to plug in fans to pump out the smokey air, channeling it outdoors as best as my buddy and I can. These measures add up to extra currency in the energy business’s pockets every single night.
