I have often seen many women cook in their kitchens without aprons on, and have wondered how they manage to do it. I am a klutz: a good cook, but a clumsy cook. I cannot possibly go through a day in my kitchen without either splashing water everywhere or spilling something on myself. I ruined many a favorite t-shirt before learning the magic of saving my clothes from cooking mishaps. Actually, I didn’t quite learn my lesson; my mom taught it to me.
A busy mother of four, it seems I never have enough time to cook. When I do get the time, I am usually so rushed that invariably I drop or spill something on my clothes. One day my mom saw me ruining this lovely top she gave me for my birthday, and decided that she needed to do something about it. She brought me two gorgeous aprons, and I have been wearing them ever since. Needless to say, my clothes have a longer shelf life now. (more…)
