πβ Happy National Hot Mulled C***r Day! βπ
It's the season for a pot of apple c***r simmering with cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg, filling the whole house with the smell of fall. People have been warming and spicing their drinks for centuries, and a slow cooker full of c***r is still one of the coziest ways to welcome cooler East Tennessee weather.
A few tips for your best batch:
π Lightly toast your spices in a dry pan first to bring out more flavor.
π Let it simmer low and slow in a slow cooker all afternoon.
π Add a squeeze of lemon to balance the sweetness.
While your house fills with good smells, remember what you can't smell:
Radon is a naturally occurring gas that has no color, odor, or taste, and it's common in East Tennessee soil. In the cooler months we close up our homes and run the heat. Warm air rising inside can pull more air, and radon, up from the ground below. That makes fall and winter a great time to test.
π Testing is simple and affordable.
π The EPA recommends taking action at 4 pCi/L or higher.
π If levels are high, a mitigation system can bring them down.
Bentley Radon has been serving East Tennessee for 30 years, and we're veteran-owned. We're happy to answer your questions and help you breathe easy this season.
