Hi!

Thanks Liz, for opening the thread, now the whole world knows ...

I am not big! I'm only tall (according to my English teacher, tall is used for the vertical expansion, big for the horizontal expansion).

Thanks to all the people (known or unknown) for the many good wishes!

For those who don't know:
it is a "Hernia inguinalis" that is going to be fixed.
The operation will be on Tuesday, 29th January, probably late morning (local time, Munich, Germany).


Emma, I tried the recipe, and it is quite close (but still not as good) to the Portaferry pot.

Skarpi, see above, I now can make whatever amount of the stew for myself - no need to wait for Portaferry ;-)

Thanks to all! I'll report back as soon as possible after the operation ...
