I know your talents for performance, and I’ve been reading along with your talents in the kitchen. Break a leg on your audition tape!

I am so sorry to hear that you will leaving your french haven. We have so enjoyed your writing and stories.
But, in the true New Age way…a door closing is another door opening.
Please keep on blogging and let us know your life in all it’s lovliness.
My husband who, too, lived in Paris and worked in restaraunts particularly liked the “Mr. Clean” story. We rolled with laughter at the breakfast table.

I’ve never recieved so many messages on one post, and honestly I had no idea so many people read my blog! (sniff, sniff)
But I want to make something PERFECTLY CLEAR – I am not going to stop blogging and I will continue to write to French chef stories and recipes too. So please stay tunned, because I promise to dish up some interesting tidbits.
I can’t wait to share the audition video for Top Chef and hear reactions. It’s a little corny, but I had to put it together fast. I got permission to film in the restaurant and it is an interesting sneak peak into a 3-star kitchen.
I also have a video on butchering wild rabbit that I haven’t edited yet. It’s also from the restaurant. It might be a little scary though…
Bisous,
Ms. Glaze

Go with the flow, you obviously need the break. As they say in my town, if you fell into the Slaney (local river), you’d come up with a fish in your mouth!

I do hope your hands get better with the rest and you can find the time for family and friends. You will look back on this time in Paris many years from now and realize just how fantastic they were. I wish you all the best of Luck in the future!

You deserve the chance
To work in France.
Anyone can see at a glance.
How you’ve advanced.
And I’m sure the kitchen
Knows well how you’ve enhanced
Their “clog” dance..
Do they wear kitchen clogs in France?
Amy,
Bonne Chance!

That sucks taht your hands are still hurting. Try a heating pad to warm them a bit before bed and get the blood circulating. That’s what I did before. Your are amazing and I’m sure it will all work out with the work stuff. We had so much fun with you and Eric on NYE!!
Bisous,
Natalie
p.s. You’d win Top Chef hands down!

P.S. I think you would totally kick butt on Top Chef!

Damien – merci pour tout ! L’expĂ©rience Ă©tait superbe. Je sais que je ne parle pas français bien, mais je pratiquerai pendant mes vacances. Merci de m’enseigner au sujet de la cuisine française, vous ĂŞtes un chef et un professeur Ă©tonnants. I’m sure you can use a break from 14 hours a day with Ms. Glaze, n’est pas? Oh la vache!!!!
Jennifer – I’m curious about this arm dipping process. My doctor hopes that with some time off my body will heal. The wax sounds divine. What is a kinĂ©?

I love your writing and it gives me a little bit of joy each time I see a new post on your blog. You remind me of my time living in Paris so many years ago. Wherever you end up, keep writing. You have a gift for expressing yourself in words.

Once you have a carte de sejour, the work permit is just a matter of time…. and one of the glories of France has always been its welcome to foreign artists…. If you don’t make it on Top Chef, who would? (And I must say it makes me like Guy Savoy, already my favorite Paris restaurateur, better to hear your stories.) Good luck, and please keep posting!

But carpal tunnel in both arms. I know that one sister and man, it bloody well hurts (I wasn’t a chef though, but learning metalsmithing…)
Find a kiné who can dip your arms/wrists in warm wax. I swear that it works! Take some time to heal, get your thoughts together and then WATCH OUT WORLD!

I know how stressful it can be, and what a huge disappointment it is when a permit doesn’t come through on the first try. My heart goes out to you!
I’m really sorry you’re facing such a hassle — but I’m glad Guy Savoy is behind you, and I hope you get a good break from your crazy hours and enjoy the time with your husband and friends.
I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you. Bon Courage!

Hope you’ll be back, and thanks for the insights anyway.

I live in Paris permanently and I have a Carte de Sejour – just not a work permit. Seems a little bit ironic that I can live in the country, but not work. Guy Savoy is fighting to keep me and so we will go round two with the work permit process. I’m hoping that it will just take a month or two and then I can start back up again perhaps at the fish station instead of the meat (no more birds pleeeeeaaaase!!!!)
I also want to do some exploration into pastry, french culture, french language classes, and how-to videos during my time off.
I’m not joking about the Top Chef audition either. Guy Savoy allowed me to film myself cooking at the restaurant and I”m sending in the video tomorrow….keep your fingers crossed for me!!!
Bisous,
Ms. Glaze

But I’m glad you’ll have some more free time so we’ll be able to catch up again!
Marcus, read before you comment: the resto has 3 stars. It says so in the otp left corner of the blog.

Why don’t just tell you they need them right from the start?”
(Btw: best of luck!)

Each year I say, “No way, I’m not going through this again.” While I don’t mind assembling the ‘dossier’ with the forms they request.
This year I had to apply for 2 ‘prolongations’, then when I showed up (in early November), they said they couldn’t issue my visa for 2 more months because the machine to laminate them was broken, and wouldn’t be repaired until late January.
Luckily, that date coincides with re-starting my next carte de sejour renewal so I can begin the process all over again…at the same appointment!

On the other hand, I have no doubts that you could kick ass ANYWHERE.
