Do you Bitches wear an apron while cooking or baking or barbecuing?
If so, do you prefer a full frontal coverage apron (as pictured in photo #1) or a half apron (as pictured in photo #2)?
Do you prefer a utilitarian, no-nonsense style or something frilly to flounce about the kitchen?
And finally, do you have any novelty aprons (i.e. aprons with funny images or sayings)?...
Tell us about your aprons, Bitches.
My sister gave me a full length blue denim apron years ago. I used it when BBQing, until it was worn out. Currently apronless.
ReplyDeleteDoes The Mistress have one of these?
If I'm ever invited to a Fourth of July BBQ in the U.S., I'll be sure to wear that.
DeleteI generally don't wear an apron, but did indeed wear one when a made the lad dinner for his birthday once, just like the pictures above. Just a apron. I suggest eating before hand, before your guest arrive. Dinner was delayed by two hours.
ReplyDeleteMISTRESS MADDIE: You’re an “appetizer” best served hot.
DeleteLife is too short, dear, to wear such specialised items. Besides, Madam Arcati's the chef, not moi - why keep a dog and bark yourself? Jx
ReplyDeletePS a "pinny" more often than not refers to one of these - the "battleaxe" type, not the bare-bum type...
JON: I stand corrected although some older Brit ladies I knew who lived in Canada referred to what we’d call an apron a “pinny,” hence my confusion.
DeleteI do have a plain black apron for kitchen use (on the rare occasion I'm wearing good clothes when cooking).And for printing? Yes, usually an old kitchen one.
ReplyDeleteBut, many years ago, for a giggle ,I made an apron and chef's hat for The Man.
DINAHMOW: I hope The Man spends more time in the kitchen now, preparing your meals.
Deletei always remember AFTER i've gotten filthy from baking that i have many aprons hanging on a hook.
ReplyDeleteEXACTLY the point I was going to make.
DeleteAnd yet the two I have (one has King Kong on the Empire State Building, swatting at bi-planes made of hot dogs) are both worn down practically to shreds.
NORMA & PEENEE: Do I have to come to your house and MAKE you put on your aprons?
Delete*dodges flying hot dogs*
I wore a leather apron to a dance party once. I was very popular for some reason.
ReplyDelete***places modest kisses on Mistress feet as is proper***
DAMIEN: A leather apron?
DeleteA change from your usual Wonder Woman attire.
I'm nothing it not adaptable. Like one of those international plugs :)
DeleteDer Schurz, seemingly related to "short" ; die Schürze, seemingly related to "shirt" & "skirt". Both germanic words describe a piece of cloth protecting tighs and lower abdomen.
ReplyDeleteThe French word of the high middle ages "apron" is a "naperon", a small table cloth, "nappa" or "mappa", napkin.
The Latin "mappa" is seemingly a Punic loan word meaning what we today call a serviette.
Servietten I use daily, aprons not so much.
MAGO: Thank you.
DeleteWe used to call napkins “serviettes” here in Canada but you seldom hear that word anymore.
Serviettes?! How very "Non-U"... Jx
DeleteJON: Reading that list makes me want to "partake of liquid" as Ms. Mitford would say.
ReplyDeletePartake to your heart's content on your sofa, in your "nice house". Just don't, whatever you do, refer to vegetables as "greens". Jx
