In addition to tướng cookbooks, I have other kitchen obsessions: Bundt pans, ramekins, vintage food tins – and aprons. Ever since I was given an apron for my college graduation (along with a copy of Joy of Cooking), I’ve been hooked on having aprons on hand to tướng keep my clothes from being splattered. 

As much as I adore my beautiful and functional aprons, I have a confession to tướng make: I hardly ever remember to tướng wear one. One reason is that in my tiny kitchen, I have nowhere to tướng store them. They hang in a closet in another room, one that also serves as a makeshift pantry. This arrangement doesn’t lend itself to tướng consistent application of what should be an everyday habit. 

If I am ever able to tướng remodel my kitchen, having a convenient place to tướng lỗ an apron or two is high on my list of desires. It only makes sense to tướng wear an apron – I can’t tell you how many shirts I have ruined with grease splatters. Of course, I never see the stain until after I have washed the garment, killing any chance that the stain could be removed. 

There is a wide variety of aprons available – and many easy patterns if you want to tướng make your own – that having one seems to tướng be a no-brainer. If you are feeling flush, you can take a gander at some lovely but pricey aprons that are recommended by professionals, but there is really no need to tướng spend a lot of money. 

So, a show of hands: who here has an apron collection? And which of you actually make use of your aprons? Any tips for bu for remembering to tướng go to tướng the closet and pulling out an apron before I start cooking?
