Aprons

[SandwichShortOfAPicnic]

but I own a few that are hanging in my pantry, rarely worn, so...

I know that one well
So imagine my dismay when my new instant pot came with a free apron, oh goody ANOTHER apron

Lovely!

I need to find a US based store that carries them. I have a feeling that with S&H across the pond I am not going to get nearly as good a price as MrsT did.

I’m sure I’ll scoot into DLM sometime in the next few weeks, I’ll see if they’re marked down there.

I'll actually wear that one I'm sure. It's too posh to not!

Must say, I’m stoked/dead chuffed (pick your saying) over my new apron:

MrsT really nailed it down with this gift - perfect. It’s patterned, it’s long, it’s 100% cotton, it’s full of attention to detail (I simply love that it has ties of two colors!), it’s comfortable, it doesn’t have D-rings for the neck strap (D-rings must have been invented by Satan himself to generally put all humankind in a pizzy mood), and it comes from a little kitchen linens company in the south of France, 150 years old and still family-owned (Tissage Moutet).

I love it!

Nice. I have started using aprons more as I have stained a couple of shirts.

MrsT saw how pleased I was with my new apron, she stopped into the same place on her way back from a doc’s appointment and bought me the only other one they had in stock (sorry, JAS_OH1).

My career as an apron model has ended, so here’s what it looks like, with photos from the maker’s website:

Now if I only had that little black dress…

It's okay. I really wanted it in sage green, anyway.

I'm getting a bit worried about you. Have you been listening to "I'm a lumberjack, and I'm ok" recently?

That’s my theme song, whenever I enter a room, it starts playing.

I’m suddenly reminded of a habit of my mom’s…she’d never wear her kitchen apron outside the kitchen.

There were three ways in and out of the kitchen - one out to the back porch, one to the dining room, and one to the back hallway that led to the bathroom and bedrooms.

Near each one, she had a small hook screwed into the wall, about head high, and no matter if it was for just a few seconds, if she was going outside or beyond the dining room, the apron came off and went on a hook, to be put back on the moment she brisked (new word alert!) back into the kitchen.

That's just plain good common sense and proper hygiene. In fact, it's a mandatory requirement for employees at most restaurants, delis, bakeries, etc. not to wear aprons in the dining room when cleaning or in the restroom.
