The $750 clafouti

Friday evening after work, I set out to bake a cherry clafouti (recipe here). I washed and drained some beautiful rainier cherries then put them in a pan in the oven, along with sugar and lemon juice, to roast at 350 for fifteen minutes. After a few minutes, I stirred them, then went back into the other room. A couple minutes later, I heard a strange rumbling noise. I couldn't figure out where it was coming from, but it was getting louder. I asked John if he could hear it, too, and he came into the kitchen. Just as I was about to open the oven door, there was a huge explosion in the oven followed by a bright light that shot up through one of the burners on the stove! Needless to say, the cherries were ruined, and we spent the evening buying and installing a new oven and hood. And how was your Friday?
