Move in is the next few weeks. I've lived on my "own" (roommate I never interacted with) for a couple months my last semester of college, but that was a temporary setup whereas I'm hopefully moving out for good this time.
Bear in mind that the place has window/wall A/C and electric heating.
Things I'm already considering:
- Drain guard
- Bidet
- Cold brew coffee maker
- Rice cooker
- Space heater? I'd like to keep the temp largely down during the winter to save money while warming up the part of the place I'm in
- Key for washer/dryer
Things I already have:
- Most furniture
- Air fryer
- Seltzer water thingy
- Meal prep containers
General advice is also welcome!
We don't drink tea as often as you all do, and I think a lot of us who do use the microwave to heat their water lmao.
I only got one since I got into Japanese-style pour over coffee, but they're definitely great.
It's for more than just tea/coffee, like you can boil your water in the kettle before adding it to a pot if you need it. Saves you 1) from having to bring water to the boil on the stove 2) doesn't bring the water temp down (much) if you already have the pot at a boil
It's a real jolt. I felt so god damn British in that moment. I get that y'all don't bother with English Breakfast tea - it's a somewhat acquired taste I suppose - I mean there's a reason not everyone does it. But herbal teas? Do y'all not drink mint tea or any of that stuff either? Gotta be one of the very few places in the world to not drink herbal teas.
Herbal teas are probably less common than stuff like English Breakfast tea over here, tbh. I live in the southeast, so the most common tea consumption is heavily sweetened iced tea. The old school way of preparing it involves placing the tea in a well-cleaned gallon container and leaving it to steep in the sun for the better part of a hot afternoon.
I bet we sound like a bunch of cave people lmao.
That's wild. Yeah. I don't know, not even cave. Cave people were the OG leafy tea drinkers. You're homo-americanus, dwellers of the richest country in the world. A country born with a disavowal of all things natural and native. I am always shocked at the amount of premade stuff and sugar that goes into American recipes.
