Waiting is
Aug. 12th, 2005 01:05 pmLast week, my cleaning person thought she'd smelled gas, but all I could smell was cleaning fluid and bleach.
Since then, I've thought I'd smelled something near my stove, but I couldn't be sure. Last night, I was sure. This morning (even though Jonathan didn't think he could smell anything) I called the gas company and they sent someone over.
The flexihose at the back of the stove needs to be replaced. And he shut off the gas. Now I'm waiting for repairman (eta: 2-5PM). I can't do a thing about Shabbat dinner until he shows up. And until my groceries are delivered, which they haven't been.
*Waiting*
ETA: groceries have arrived.
ETA 2: I have to add - the kitchen is very well vented. We keep an exhaust fan running in the window all summer long. Even when the gas company man moved the hose and the leak got larger (and audible) it vented out quickly. So we were not in danger.

Aug. 12th, 2005 04:38 pmStove guy is here.
He's going to replace the hose. He's also going to replace the starter.
You know what killed the starter?
Oven cleaner. Apparently, you can't use oven cleaner in the new stoves. You have to use elbow grease.
And, yeah, that includes the No-Fumes stuff I use.
Ack. Maybe we'll just line it next Pesach.

Rachael Ray has nothin' on me
Aug. 12th, 2005 06:19 pmIn the space of one hour I
1. Made a sort of curried chicken and pea stew (currently finishing in the now-working oven)
2. Braised pepper steak in soy sauce, sesame oil and fresh orange juice and peel
3. Created the majority of a salmon pasta salad, which will be finished when the pasta is cooked.
4. Started a pot of rice in my rice cooker, to be ignored until dinner time.
