Hi Guys and Gals,
sorry, I'm a bit late today. This is partly because I prepared seitan ;o) Seitan is basicly textured vegetable proteine and it's really easy to make at home, although it takes some time. But it's worth it and much cheaper than buying the readymade stuff. After that, I went to a talk on working in the US. I learned some very useful things. In fact, I am quite optimistic now. How unusual for me... So, my next step will be to look for job openings in the area. 
Tomorrow is Mirko's surgery and I am a bit nervous. He is, too. 
C U tomorrow (I hope with a new photo, maybe the snowy Sierra Blanca Peak).
