We are re-running last night's dinner, which is doubly a good thing. First, I did not need to cook today. Second, we spent 6:10-6:45 dealing with a gas leak at our neighbor's house. It turned out to be propane. The grill had not been turned off after it was used yesterday. The neighbors were not at home at the time, so we called the gas company's emergency line. The worker who showed up identified it quickly as propane, which explains why the odor was not exactly what we associate with gas. The worker also checked the grill at the next door over, and it was leaking propane as well, as the valve had not been shut all the way. My husband apologized for the call, but the gas employee responder said that they get a lot of these calls. Given that propane is even more inflammable than regular heating/cooking gas, calling them was the right thing to do.
So, we are about to eat a late dinner, but except for cooking the rest of the corn, the salad is already made, and we will have the chicken cold.
