Slightly OT- A few years ago, cleaning out stuff at my elderly relative's house, I came upon a brand new hand sewn apron that must have been purchased by my aunt, as a gift, on one of her long drives from GA up to CT to visit family. It was lovely. It had one of those return address stickers on the waist band with the name and address of the woman who made it, plus the price of $1.75. I can just picture a road side stand selling pecans, peaches and hand sewn items.
I looked on line and found her obit, which credited her handicraft skills.
They seem hard to find in stores anywhere lately. I wear one when mixing kitchen ingredients especially involving powders, and also to avoid always getting toothpaste stains on my clothes when brushing..
Try supply stores. Otherwise tuck a towel into your waist band.
I'm voting for my wife. She wears hers around her neck. A waist apron. First time I saw that I figured she had put it around her neck to leave her hands free on the way to the dirty clothes, but no. Went straight to the frying pan and started cooking bacon.
Funny story. About four years ago I posted on Facebook that I wanted an apron for Christmas. It's not something I really ever thought I would buy myself. Well, I ended up with FOUR aprons at Christmas lol. I rotate them now but don't wear one every time I cook (I cook daily as I eat mostly whole foods and rarely eat out). I mostly wear them when I cook messy food or am wearing a dressy work outfit and didn't have time to change sort of thing.
I haven't typically worn an apron but I think I need to get into the habit of it as I cook more Indian dishes...turmeric is the most dangerous spice and it can get everywhere between the measuring and the spattering once in a dish. It's so hard to get out and seems to "set" immediately.
Yep, curry (which I'm making today) stains everything. Countertop, clothes, tablecloth, napkins. It's impossible not to get it everywhere because every time you stir something and put the spoon down, there it is. Note to self: get out the apron for today.
