That is amazing! I just finished 16 weeks of pt for my hand surgery. It's amazing the way people heal. I usually sat next to this elderly gentleman who had severed 6 tendons in one hand (fell down a hill and into a bare metal fence that sliced his wrist). 12 weeks in he could make a fist... it's amazing what the human body can do...

More power to anyone that has to go through surgery of this sort and be able to get back to their everyday lives.

That's a really fascinating story. Thanks for posting it!
However, someone who has just graduated from culinary school with a pastry degree is NOT a pastry chef. A chef runs a professional kitchen, a pastry chef runs a professional pastry kitchen or pastry department. Chef is a job title, not an educational one. As someone with a culinary degree myself, and as someone who is working towards someday being a chef, I really prefer not to see this term misused or diluted.

And yes, I know it was the title of the piece. But you don't have to use it.
