I opened the mail after I came in from a run and found this apron waiting for me
It was from Alexia Foods and I received the apron and the coupon because I am a FoodBuzz Featured Publisher
“I Rewite the Recipe Book”. Actually, I can’t follow a recipe to a T to save my life or even make my own recipes twice. So yes, that’s true.
Don’t judge the outfit. 10 year old long sleeve running shirt with shorts that don’t match.
And post workout ponytail hair. Oh well, I’ve blogged and posted pictures from the hair salon with foils in my hair, so my pride is gone anyway.
I have collected quite a few aprons in my blogging career:
An Apron from Katie for Skylar
From This Post. February 10, 2010. Not even 1 year ago and wow, Skylar looks so little!
And I actually have a few more aprons, too! Quite the stash. Too bad I almost never think to put an apron on.
It would be good to put an apron on when making Dark Chocolate Coconut Snowballs
It can get kind of messy working with chocolate! Then again, these are just a bowl and a spoon, and the freezer. No mixer required. How messy can things get?
This recipe gets messier because of the powdered sugar: Vegan Peanut Butter Chex Mix, aka “Puppy Chow”
I have a whole post of Chocolate Recipes so if you want to get your mess on, check it out!
Glad you liked my Friday Foods and recipes and thanks for filling me in on whether you like to go out to eat, or not. Any why. Everyone is so different and it’s fun to read about.
I had tons of comments on that post and I really appreciate all my new readers, my existing readers, my readers that have recently de-lurked and are commenting. It seems like my move to Wordpress is making things easier for everyone. Amen to that!
Questions:
1. Do you wear aprons?
No, not usually because….see #2
2. Do you consider yourself a messy, neat, or in the middle, type of cook.
I rarely wear aprons probably because I am a neat freak and just don’t make that much of a mess when I’m cooking. I am the person who stops to do some dishes in the middle of cooking because it annoys me to see dirty dishes all over the countertop!
And in similar fashion, I don’t make much of a mess all over my clothes, which I guess is good. But it just means I have lots of aprons that I don’t wear much. I guess I need to get messier, huh!
3. What’s going on for you this weekend?
I’m working, spending time with Scott and Skylar, trying to plan her birthday party, and I will be enjoy this weather.
Mid 70s and sunny with a breeze that’s just enough to make the tall palms sway.
Enjoy your weekend!
I never wear my apron either, I have one that a friend painted for me (with one if my favorite quotes “the only way around is through”) and I hang it in the kitchen as art instead of actually using it
LOVE the flirty aprons! I don’t own any, but sometimes wish I did. Like when I’m cooking on Christmas Day, say, and I’m in “good” clothes. I’d have to say I’m a neat cook, though. It all goes back to that “A Type” personality again. I take out what I need and put it away as I use it. Can’t stand the clutter! LOL
Hey – I got that same apron at the FB Festival!!!!
Great apron!
We have 3 aprons, and there is usually one out so that we can use it if need be. For me that means when I’m doing something messy / squirty like peeling oranges, cutting up pineapple, or mixing up a newly opened jar of nut butter – it seems to get everywhere.
I’m constantly “cleaning as I go” when I’m in the kitchen. If I’m baking something, then I use the time it is baking for washing up the dishes that were used, wiping down the counter, tidying up and getting the cooling rack(s) ready.
Hoping to get some snowshoeing in after the furnace repair guy is done. It is snowing now and looks so pretty.
Ooh, I envy that blue sky and palm tree! Thanks for that little dose of brightness.
I was given an apron for Christmas and am so glad to have it: I just need to remember to put it on. Yours looks beautiful and I love the legend. How do you get to be a foodbuzz publisher?
Have a wonderful day, happy party planning!
love

hahah i never wear aprons, but i cud sure use it because to answer your second question… i am a VERY messy cook… ingredients spread out all over the place, flour, cinnamon and other powders are spilled everywhere.. and i use like 100 dishes just to make one thing.. haha NAHT GOOD
I got a super cute apron from Etsy. Sure beats those long, white ones you get in culinary school. the problem is, the cute aprons are too cute, you dont want to get them dirty!
