Hi, and welcome. Since you've been lurking so much, you should know where everything is, and where all your questions should go. Feel free to drop by Herve's in the Cafe for a drink every once in a while, and you should fit right in.
Heh, looks a lot better than at our kitchen today! My german housemate was cleaning the house, so he forgot the moka (espressomachine) on fire.. all plastic on it melt, and kitchen still is preerry smelly .. well not smelling that pretty either.
