What was that loud bang??

Well, that would be the glass on our oven door shattering! While we were on vacation our landlords had a new stove installed in our apartment. We (well, I) were very excited to have a new stove. No more using a match to light the burners and being able to fit more than one dish in the oven was very exciting. So you can imagine my disappointment when the oven broke. I have never seen such a thing happen. I was cooking pizza and about 20 minutes into cooking it we were this loud bang. None of us were in the kitchen so we headed in to find out what had happened. I was thinking, "did the salami explode and force the oven door open?" I got to the kitchen and there were a couple of pieces of broken glass on the floor. Jason had been thinking along the same lines as me and thought the broken glass was grease from the salami. Then we opened the oven door. We opened it only part way though because all the glass on the inside of the oven door had shattered and had fallen down and therefore we couldn't actually open the door very much.

I walked next door to our landlords apartment to let them know what had happened. Marie was home but Josef and Milan were away for the night so we talked for a little and decided we would just wait until morning when Josef could come over. Marie was very nice and offered to let me use her kitchen to make dinner but I told her it was ok and that we would figure something out. She then went to her freezer and took out some frozen goulash for us but again I told her it was ok and we would be fine. It was so nice of her to try and make sure we had dinner. I went back to our apartment and told Jason we would have to wait until the morning. We just moved on and my Czech teacher arrived and I had my Czech lesson. At the end of the lesson our bell rang and it was Josef and Milan. Marie must have called them to come home from wherever they were! I was very surprised. They are such nice people. They looked at the stove and took some pictures. We chatted for a little bit and then they headed home. We will see how long it takes to get our oven fixed. I'm not expecting any speed.
