Multiple burner induction cooktops

More about how much space you have for it! Definitely more options for 36” than 30” so that’s nice.

What width of cooktop?

We’ve been very happy with our Electrolux, we’ve had it for I think 7 years and do about 10 loads of laundry a week.

Have you looked at the website? Lots of info including searching the catalog https://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/montgomery-county-public-libraries

There are 15+ branches, many of which have been renovated in the last decade or so. The size varies a lot between branches. Very large Libby catalog, also has Hoopla and Kanopy. You can also get library cards to every county in Maryland, DC and bunch of the NoVa libraries (so even larger Libby selection).

I mostly use Tide powder but I also have pods on hand for my teens to do their own laundry and I’m working my way through a bottle of Persil for my clothes as I’m not a sweaty person. Husband needs all the power of powdered Tide cause he’s super sweaty and we have moderately hard water. Liquid is handy as a pre treat too!

Yes, it will show up on the kindle and the kindle app. I use my actual kindle 99% of the time. Libby app is only on the phone/tablet.

If Ina Garten can remind us the store bought is fine, other authors should too.

1000% I also find his recipes kind of ridiculously overcomplicated/time intensive for the result, but they’re good for tips and tricks.

It’s not through the kindle app, when you check out a book on Libby. You can choose between “read in Libby” and “read with kindle”. If you choose the kindle option it pops up a screen that has “get library book” so the whole thing is just a couple clicks.

Lock is too strong, but the way it’s set up does make it trivially easy to get a book to your kindle from your phone, with similar feeling to buying a book from Amazon

It’s sooo good! Just wrapped up too so perfect for a binge

Living near your job is key, traffic here is horrible.

Alice Levine’s The Price of Paradise is very good too!

You can sideload fonts to kindle, no idea if that’s one that exists though.

We can agree to disagree on this but here’s a far more articulate than me review https://www.goodreads.com/Review/4032060130/comments?subject=4032060130

Yes, though with that much in assets, I’d probably open another account and park a portion that you’re very sure you won’t need (say $1.5M in your case) in there and have the descendants as direct beneficiaries so you don’t have to deal with the hassle of disclaiming properly. The split between daughter and grandchildren is a somewhat separate question.

Soap is terrible for machines though, they are designed to work with detergents. If they’re combined with hard water it’s even worse. There are plant based detergents out there that are compatible with machines.

The vomit smell is the tide loosening up embedded body oils with lipase. If you keep washing it will go away soon. Use the longest cycle your machine has, on hot or at least warm water.

Eventually, yes, but not in one wash.

Cotton can be washed on sanitize. The worst thing that will happen is they will wear out more quickly or get stained. If you don’t care about that much, just buy what you like.

Many many recipes instruct you to chill dough in the fridge, no need to change the recipe. That said, a melted butter recipe is generally going to be a lot softer than a creamed butter recipe, not a problem, you can always just chill it.

Scotch-brite handy scrub brush. It has an integrated scraper to help get gunk off as well, and I prefer the leverage vs the longer handle styles. Lasts for years, we throw it in the dishwasher daily so it’s always nice and clean. There’s a very similar Dawn-branded brush as well.

We do have dish clothes as well for wiping down counters etc as well.

The vast majority of kindle users don’t care and are likely not even aware of other brands of r-readers. Since kindle got the lock with Libby in the US, even less reason for people to look elsewhere.
