If you're gonna have the munchies you better have gas.....

OK let me start by saying I have not been drinking any alcoholic beverages and have never smoked dope - but if you're gonna have the munchies you better have gas.  I know one or two people who are already thinking shouldn't that be "you're gonna have gas."

Natural Gas has been a part of my home pretty much all of my life -  I'm talking the natural gas from the earth and not from your body.  Natural gas to heat the house, the hot water, clothes dryer and the kitchen stove.  

Both homes I've lived in have had the gas floor furnaces, no ductwork, no blowers, just the grate in the middle of the floor and the heat going wherever. Mom always hollered at me for standing on it, you knew not to step on it with your bare feet and in time you learned how to lay across it just right to warm up.  Last April i had a friend visiting who had not had the privilege of knowing how a gas floor furnace worked and walked across the grate in his bare feet just as the furnace was at it hottest.  

I took a vacation day today and when I don't work I usually don't eat until I'm starving.  So about an hour ago my body realizes I have not ate much today.  So I nuke a frozen french bread pizza, not bad but a short time later I'm still hungry.  I look in the fridg, pumpernickel rye bread and spinach dip, finished that off.  Carolina BBQ chips - gone.  Ever have one of those days when there's nothing in the fridg? I really did not feel like driving to Taco Bell and a pizza would be to much food.  Im going through the fridge and all I can find now is a frozen fettuccine alfredo dinner and some hot dogs.  Then I remember, "hey I got a gas stove" and if you've  ever had a gas stove you know that means you can have an indoor "wiener roast" any time you want 24/7 365 days a year.  Which takes me back to where all this started- " if you're gonna have the munchies you better have gas."  

Now I'm gonna go nuke that fettuccine alfredo....
