October 2014

Dear Daniels Customer

You're back.

And we're delighted to have you.

Well, we've all made it to October and now...it gets interesting. We have fantastic autumn afternoons perfect for a bike ride or a long hike, brilliant windows-open sleeping weather, world series games that go on til mid-night, pumpkin-this and pumpkin-that and leaves. Lots and lots of leaves.

Speaking of pumpkins, if you've never been to the Keene, NH Pumpkin Festival, consider this your invitation. Imagine nearly 30,000 carved and lighted pumpkins stretching the length of three city blocks. It's Americana at its very best. The event is Saturday, Oct 18^th. You can Google it for all sorts of information. We think you'll love it.

We've received a few e-mails from you indicating that you like this newsletter format and that you enjoy the quizzes. We're glad and we'll stay the course. We'll be here once a month and we hope that you will continue to enjoy a few minutes out of your day with us.

Now...This just in...

Stay Grilled

We were thinking about comfort food. Ya know, mac & cheese, tomato soup, a great grilled cheese sandwich for those cool, crisp days when you're done milking the cow, chopping the wood or, maybe just sucking up all those freakin' leaves.

We stumbled onto a number of recipes (including one with espresso and lavender flavored cheese. We didn't include that one.) But, in case you were looking for the perfect afternoon lunch (and movie), here's our recommendation from Food52.com:

cook with natural gas CT

Serves One

2 slices sourdough bread

2 ounces shredded or thinly sliced cheese of your choice (soft or semi-hard melty cheese only)

Unsalted butter, softened

4 fresh sage leaves

1 tablespoon Parmigiano Reggiano, grated with a microplane grater cornichons, or regular pickles whole grain mustard

Heat a non-stick skillet on medium/medium-low heat. Spread one side of bread with butter -- don't be shy. Press two sage leaves on the butter, and swipe the leaves with a little more butter so they adhere. Repeat with second slice of bread.
Lay one slice of bread in hot pan, butter and sage side down. Place cheese on the bread in the pan. Top with second slice of bread, butter and sage side up. Grill for a few minutes. You'll hear the butter start to sizzle. Carefully check bottom of sandwich; you're looking for golden-brown.
With a spatula, carefully flip the sandwich, and cook for another few minutes, again looking for golden-brown. Sprinkle the top of the sandwich with half of the Parmigiano, making sure to cover the sage leaves. Flip the sandwich back over and cook for a few seconds to crisp the Parmigiano. (Don't leave it too long or the Parmigiano will burn.) Sprinkle the rest of the Parmigiano on the top slice and flip once more to crisp that side -- a few more seconds and you're done!

Serve with cornichons, or their cheaper cousin the dill pickle, mustard, and a cold one.

Oh, and the movie: Howard The Duck.

Lea Thompson, duck puns and disturbing woman-on-duck romance aside, this movie is a must-see, if only to catch a glimpse of the dead-eyed duck costume George Lucas so callously unleashed on audiences.

Stay Efficient

40% Savings. For Real?

C'mon - no one believes us when we say that the Energy Kinetics System 2000 will save you 40% on your oil bill, right? I mean, it's impossible, right?

Wrong.

Actually the system is amazing and we have some numbers to prove it. Okay, it is for one local family - but we think their experience will pretty much be what you can expect.

We sold a long time Daniels customer in Portland a new System 2000 oil boiler in the spring of 2008. Prior to 2008 this is how much oil they used each heating season:

Gallons used:

2002-3 1044
2203-4 858
2004-5 903
2005-6 753
2006-7 910
2007-8 1000

Then boom -- in went the System 2000

2008-09 483

2009-10 435
2010-11 442
2011-12 317
2012-13 379
2013-14 473

Honest.

Now yes there were some years where the season wasn't as cold - 2005-06 and 2011-12, but it is pretty clear that they cut their oil use - dramatically.

Let Daniels Energy show you how you can save up to 40% on your home heating costs with a new Energy Kinetics System 2000

Stay Beautiful

A rose is a rose is a rose. Well, actually, no it isn't.

We've given our fair share of roses to the one we love. But who knew that the color of the roses actually spoke volumes for us. You too might find this illuminating. We will be more careful in the future.
