By the way, in case my original post made me sound a bit of a sad person, I
should stress that I did genuinely need to turn the oven on at that time, in
order to cook my dinner.
I did assume you felt the quote sutied the action, and didn't make up
the action to suit the quote.
Although, for the melting-walls effect, I think cleaning the oven would
be more appropriate than cooking. :)
