how am i supposed to cook?

i broke the lock on my oven door. i was making french fries and thought i'd try out the lock while i was waiting. it worked too well. something snapped inside and locked the door permanently. so i did some "work" and managed to force the handle back to the unlocked position...except the latch is still in the latched position. so, i can open my oven door but i can't close it all the way now. think about all of the wonderful things i am missing out on making because i broke the lock! i was going to try and make spanakopita this weekend. and i just bought two huge bags of french fries (2 for $8.00!). i loathe having to call a repair guy to come in and fix it but i'm sure it'll cost me less than buying a new oven, not that i can afford a new oven right now. not that i can really afford to buy the food that goes in the oven right now. i need to stay off e-bay.
