  1. Boots -> Safety I have always found safety boots the best for me, (that goes up the ankle, WHICH IS ALMOST THE MOST IMPORTANT FOR ME) the best in the kitchen for me, and even for hiking. as long as they are not heavy, they have non-slip soles, that prevents slipping on wet and oily surfaces, they have steel reinforced toes for preventing heavy objects dropping and crushing your toes, the last two brands are made from materials that are heat and acid resistant, to a degree, that I have never had problems with in any kitchen. one drawback that I have had, is the soles crack when you are standing in water "now and then"
  2. In South Africa the weather is very confused, imagine being in a tumble dryer with the temperature button being broken, one moment it is hot and next moment it is cold, one day, you wake up and the sun is shining, not even two hours late it is overcast and then it starts raining... I want Summer!
  3. Hi there everyone. Sorry for being a bit lost... opening a new restaurant/outlet and being the head chef is actually a bit more stressful than I thought... I only had my first fellow chef join me yesterday, and although she is not untrained, the things that she has previously done is now where near what they want me to do. and I have just more than 2 weeks to train her. but she seems to learn fast and be intuitive. I have another staff member joining on the 11th, and then we are looking for another 1 maybe 2 chefs... and they don't want me to take anyone from one of the previous places that I have worked at before, they think it will create "Clicks" and that we will then start stealing... most ridiculous thing I have ever heard... other than that, I enjoy working there. To answer your question about the wine Timo. I have a normal Fridge that I store some of the white wines in, I try to keep a variety in there, since I only have space for about 20 bottles in there. The rest of the whites are currently kept in boxes in a cupboard. The red wines are on the wine racks, about 605 bottles and the extra is kept in boxes in the study cupboard and where there is space... they are fine at the temperature that they are kept. Winter especially is about 18°C inside. During summer we might put a few bottles of red wine in the fridge as well... but the flat does not really get that hot. I only named it the open and drink wine rack, because we mostly open bottles from that wine rack... I don't have to turn or rotate the bottles, the bottles with corks are lying on their sides to keep the corks moist, and the screw tops can stand up straight... If you ever DO get the chance to visit South Africa, do it, it will be cheap for you with the exchange rates so in your favour... I might even be able to offer accommodation for 2 people, and a tour or two...
  4. Sooooo. The house upgrades are almost finished... The most recent thing was the 390 bottle wine rack that has been installed and stuck to the wall with 10 bolts. Sweet wines right on top, about 80 bottles. Red wines all the way down from there. I went with wine farms together... Premium Wine rack. I need a special occasion to open one of these, Everyday Open And Drink rack I don't need any reason or excuse to open any of these ones. All of these are red wines. There are a few white wines in the fridge, and the rest are still in boxes, either in the cupboard or the study... In total, we have about 1200 - 1300 bottles. I need to finish the stock take and insert it all into Excel. Hope you are all doing well.
  5. Tremors -> earthquake We had an earthquake in South Africa a few weeks ago. In Pretoria, so about 1500km from where I live, as far as I know no confirmed deaths, just some property damage and injuries. (I will admit I did not follow the news to know what happened in the days afterwards.
