Energy Bills to Drop 10.6%

We're buzzed to see that Peco Energy Co.'s residential supply charge will decrease 10.6 percent starting January 1. According to Philly.com, "its price for most residential customers would decrease from 11.14 cents per kilowatt hour to 9.96 cents. For a customer using 500 kilowatt hours, the monthly savings would amount to $5.90."

Not huge, but we'll take it! Why the change? The charge is adjusted according to market conditions. The article also warns that the decrease is not entirely good news, as it will impact customers who already have a discounted rate. These customers are free to switch to an alternative supplier.

One of our favorite ways to save on energy bills this winter, that also increases value to your home?

Replace old fixtures, systems, bulbs and appliances with Energy Star rated versions.

Tip Jar: Adopt a Scandinavian!

Inspired by Food & Wine's Trendspotting editorial, we're thinking Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and all things Nordic this holiday season. When it comes to home decor or the food you serve at your holiday dinner, adopt a Scandinavian design or recipe this season to mix it up over the holidays.

Food

Gravlax - Serve this delicious and delicate salt and sugar cured salmon dish that is fantastic on toast and served with Champagne. One of my favorite dishes!

Swedish or Norwegian Meatballs - (recipe from Scandilicious by Signe Johnson, p. 32 in December issue of Food & Wine)

Jarlesburg Cheese - from Norway and serves well with a Gewurztraminer, Riesling, or Cabernet Sauvignon.

Fashion

Anthropologie - Find great modern Scandinavian-looking clothing with a focus on craftsmanship. Though they were born in Wayne PA, and have a great store in Rittenhouse Square, much of their winter lines of clothing have that Nordic appeal perfect for the Holiday.

Furniture

Dane Decor - Looking for a new chair for the house? Consider the 1970's classic comfort chair, Lido. We love ours!

Ikea - Ah, yes, Ikea, your old Swedish flame that you keep trying to break up with. Sometimes he is irresistible. Especially his fun $2.99 Christmas stockings.

Ligne Roset - Fans of modern French and Scandinavian design flock to this spot in Manayunk for furniture and accessories with an edge.
