An apron. I want one. Why? I've never had one before. My mother never had one. I don't cook enough to need one.
I think that it's more what the apron represents: home, comfort, a sense of belonging and purpose. I love being a hostess. Not the spongy kind with creamy filling, but the kind that has people over all the time and makes them comfortable. I want to create an atmosphere that people like to visit...where they doze off on my couch, or suddenly realize that they meant to leave hours ago, but they just totally lost track of time.
It all starts with an apron. Oh, and booze. And maybe odorless, tasteless sleeping draughts for the guests.
I love aprons!! I rarely need them, but I feel so homey when I wear one while baking. I have one hanging on the back of the kitchen door. (If it's still there... I don't bake as much any more.) You should get one of the aprons with the frilly edges!!
ReplyDeleteI totally want a white one with the twin cherries.
