This past Saturday night my home was the first stop for our church's annual Christmas progressive dinner. Guests enjoyed meatballs, (thanks Heather) mini-potato skins, and my first time to serve rumaki. My rumaki included water chestnuts wrapped in bacon. (No liver.) Other menu items included the usual summer sausage, cheeses, and veggies with dip. Rounding out the fare were wassail, fruit punch and coffee--yep, we don't do the liquor stuff.
Contrary to my husband's "strong" suggestions, I have hesitated to wear Apronique aprons. Why? I am afraid that I will get an order for one like I have worn, and not have another available in our inventory--probably an unreasonable concept to most people. However on this night of formal entertaining, I decided to hostess in style and donned the black and white Gala Swirl apron. I have preached to others about how well our stain armor treated fabric performs. But--anytime I have modeled an apron, I am very careful not to soil it. After all...someone might want to buy it.
As I worked in my kitchen, all of a sudden I realized that I had just, in my usual fashion, swiped my hands across the front of the "upscale trendy" apron I wore.
"Oh well," I exclaimed to those assisting me. "This one is officially initiated and I can now claim it as mine in good faith."
So I am now the proud owner of an Apronique top-of-the-line apron. I will happily wear it with pride and pleasure.
