"We didn't start the fire..."

And hopefully it will burn on and on and on.

Our oven died. Yesterday, to be exact. We cooked some salmon on broil, and then I hit "bake" and "350." Timer dings, and rolls are mushy. No fire. Hmmmmm.... Broiler works, oven doesn't.

Quick google search indicates I likely have a bad "igniter." Call to the appliance place, pick up the last one, install it (after a few frustrating minutes, realized I could take the entire burner assembly off), and BOOOM (thanks, John Madden), it's a burnin'.

I had to splice a wire (wire doesn't seem to be the right word) - and only had plastic wire nuts. Hopefully it won't melt!
