Help...advice needed. Anybody out there work in a professional pastry kitchen?

Sandra...thank you so much. I'll check them out.

As for the open shoes...I think they're a health code violation here in the States. And you're right...hot caramel coming through the openings would not be good. smileys/smile.gif

I appreciate what you had to say, especially about the greasy floors and spots. It's just weird...just when I get my kitchen legs and cruise through, you hit a spot and off you go...Nobody talks about how dangerous these places can be!

Ooh, foot massager. Man, what I wouldn't do for one of those. When I worked front of the house in restaurants, I was always a big fan of a double dose of Advil. And then hope my legs stop shaking long enough for me to actually get some sleep.

Ah, the war stories are coming back to me now....I must be crazy. Ah well. I'm looking forward to working with William. That guy is amazing.

I asked him one day what he thought of another pastry chef in town (I liked her concepts but thought her food was horrible. Some items were too sweet, some not sweet enough). William said, "She doesn't understand the ingredients." And I agree. Clearly he does, so to learn under his wing...I'm eternally grateful.

 
Thanks! I used to wear the Birkenstock version of these and while they were comfortable,

they didn't breathe very well. I wonder if Calzuro uses a different material. Thanks Sue. I'll check them out.

 
you just may be crazy but then, I think sanity is over-rated! smileys/wink.gif) have a blast babe!

 
Traca...

don't do it. I was wearing Crocs when I fell down the stairs. I stepped on the strap of right Cros with my left and hobbled myself. I usually had a rule not to wear my Crocs up or down the carpeted stairs, but that night I just forgot.

You are smart to put those Dansks in the back of the closet and I would leave them there if I were you. Then a couple months after I was finally starting to heal, I was wearing my Crocs, and I slipped on the garage floor, on a small puddle of water that I couldn't see, and almost re-injured my wrists.
I would look for some new shoes, I wouldn't go with any clogs. That is of course just my personal jaded opinion. My Crocs are now in the back of my closet, and that is where they will stay.

 
You're right Dawn. In all my adult life, I've never fallen so much as in those Danskos.

I'm thinking it's time to find some new shoes. smileys/smile.gif
