*sigh* Yes. I'm not a feast cook, just an herbalist and a dayboard cook...
with plantar fascitis, which I've had all my life, plus various problems
with easily cracked footbones, as far as anyone can tell... so I have to
husband my ability to stand for long periods of time. As a result, I
generally have people do cutting and chopping tasks sitting down at a
table, because that's how I have to do it. It may be less efficient, but I
find that a) I tend to concentrate better sitting down, and b) perhaps
because of the relaxation response, people are much happier with me
sitting down. *grin*
