Do You Wear An Apron?

Happy Thanksgiving to Family, Friends and Readers

When I put on an apron to start cooking today, memories of my grandmother’s flowered aprons came to mind, and the loud unruly Thanksgiving dinners of the past. At least twenty people were crammed around a dinning room table in her one bedroom apartment. Today there will be three of us, but. . . it is still Thanksgiving, a day of gratitude.

I didn’t cook turkey. It is too much work. I cook Lemon Chicken from the Sopranos Family Cookbook, stuffing and green beans. It was delicious and we didn’t miss the turkey.

I made an apple tart, thinking of my grandmother’s pies; apple, pumpkin, and mincemeat.They rested on an ironing board in her kitchen.

After dessert, the girls chose an apron to wear while cleaning the kitchen. Grandma visited with the other relatives until the dancing started; which was followed my turkey sandwiches, made of white bread, cranberries, and mayo.

Do you still wear an apron? I do.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.

. . . just saying, Claudia

  2. I like aprons. For clean up I have a laminated one from Splash Fabrics, a local Seattle Company, that is both cheerful and water resistant because I always wind up with a wet tummy when doing dishes.

  5. Yes, I wear an apron. I recall the first apron I made in home economics class a good many years ago. It was the tie-around-the-waist style with a center pocket. I much prefer the chef style, because I’m a messy cooker/baker.
