When I was a little girl, as I can remember, my mother wore an apron to work in the kitchen. He had April 2, which I remember. There was a half apron with a pair of prayer hands and blessings. "God is great, God is good, let's thank Him for our food. His hands feed us all. We Give the Lord your daily bread, Amen. " I was always a little disappointed that "good" and "food" didn't make poetry.
The other was a bib apron that was orange and yellow in the classic style of the 1970s. One of the special prizes was to have one of them put on his clothes and help around the kitchen. When this apron was tied, it meant that you were going into business. You had to do something. Properly inferred in an apron, there was no absolute fear of "getting dirty." It was completely free. No amount of flour or butter, or any ingredient can hinder the work. The apron protected the bib, towel, and utensil holder, as well as one's clothes. Wearing an apron made it feel like donating a coach suit. I considered myself safe, ready, ready, qualified. These were the roots of the passion of my apron.
As I got older, I realized that not all work in the kitchen is necessarily fun, especially washing dishes. The dishwasher was never finished! In those days, dishwashers did not become a standard kitchen appliance. The dishes were passed by at least two people, a washer and a runner. (If the girls came to us, Mom would do it herself.) I had two younger sisters, so we divided the dinner tasks into "table cleaning, washing, rinsing, and drying." Washing and cleaning dishes had to wear aprons. Washing dishes was a job that required more weight, more responsibility, more skill, and attention. Being assigned this role means that you have the privilege of being the first to choose which apron to wear. The "blessing" apron was our favorite, and wearing it meant you were the top dog in the kitchen. chef hat is the tools of a chef.
Baking was a project in which washing dishes and putting on an apron meant that the fun was about to begin. My mother taught me that the first step in any baking attempt is to wear an apron. Before opening the cookbook or recipe, it is necessary to decorate the apron, opening the portal to ease baking. I can ask if we can make cookies or cupcakes, but this request was not received until Mom put on her apron. I may have put on an apron to indicate that I was ready to cook it, but this possibility did not come true until my mother put on her apron. To me, it seemed that until Mom put on her apron, she wasn't earnest about cooking, cleaning, or baking. She wasn't ready. And by that sign, when he took off his apron, he was done. The apron did not come until the last dish was washed, the final cup of the cake was raised, the last of the counter was cleaned. And if there is no work left, we will have to wait until the adornment of the next apron.
Cooking was second to none baking, but cooking was done every day, so it didn't feel like Mom mainly prepared at least one whole meal for our family, usually two - breakfast and dinner. The meal. Dinner was a big event. Mother put on her apron, and preparations began. Sometimes it was easy to eat meat, starch, vegetables, and the usual bread. As a kid, I used to make biscuits, my favorite and most often asked task. Sometimes, I was accused of buying ingredients - maybe from our freezer in our basement, or the canary, or even to the garden. At the very least, I get things moving. As I got older, I learned to peel vegetables, grind cheese and cabbage, and work in a mixer and blender. Eventually, I learned to cook and bake, from measuring and stirring to sauteing and lunching. I even mastered the thick sauce and grooves and cut a whole chicken.
As I got older, working in the kitchen, even cooking and baking, became more of a burden than a special privilege. As a teenager, we had a dishwasher and did not need to wash the dishes with soapy water and use them several times. No apron was required to load and unload the dishwasher. It became an occasional kitchen affair in which one of us girls had to participate if the mother was otherwise occupied - which was rare. We often helped with chores in the kitchen, such as chopping vegetables or making biscuits. But the jobs were done so quickly and with some resentment that our more critical business as teenagers was disrupted. Still, we each wore aprons for the holidays and special occasions and worked hard to bring food insurance was a joyous achievement. For a while, I may be worried about the responsibility of helping in the kitchen, Lee. When I was 17, I could make a whole meal from bread to dessert, which turned out to be a great thing because I was married at 18, and my family started at 19—the apron of my marriage and my career as a housewife and mother. I'm sure I sent some of them to my children. I made small aprons for my kids when they were little so that they could be like moms. Before I start a project, I will instruct "Keep your apron," no doubt my mother will have to be reminded again and again. In a way, her character was changed - I was a mother who taught and was committed to her children. But, I never stopped being a daughter, mentally following my mother's role modeling.
Cooking, baking, and cleaning are associated with love, family, warmth, comfort, and happiness. Wearing an apron was an essential aspect of these practices, so through the association, every time I wear an apron, it makes me happy. I feel helpful, productive, creative, competent. These answers are natural and ingrained in me. I'm always amazed when others don't have the emotional attachment and reaction to wearing an apron. I hope to share this simple joy. I am sometimes creating pride, purpose, practicality, and happiness in worldly affairs. Share this excitement, creativity, and sense of wonder as soon as you start a new project. Ready for a new endeavor, get ready for victory and creativity - put on this apron!
