Apron or no apron?

[Barriehie]

...
Going to get one and going to use it.

Arrived today and pretty much as advertised. Now all I have to do is add a precooking habit, put it on, to 46 years of never having one...

I've been trying to use mine
I even sometimes remember

I hung it up where I can't help but see it so have to see if that's enough trigger.

Guess what....
I got 3 of them hanging in plain sight
And still I just walk past them

But I managed while making pizza
So my denim blue apron now has lots of white ingrained

Well, with a mug of frosty homebrew in one hand it'd be hard to put an apron on!

Just pretend it's faded denim now

Ok, I've been shamed (jk) into hunting down my apron.
I wore it for the first time yesterday
Really should have done something with my hair, I just washed it and rubbed a towel over it - I wasn't planning on a photo op lol

Yup it's a chinchilla.
Neither their fur, nor their saliva is an allergen so I used to keep some as pets (tho that was some years ago now).
I'll post a few pics of them in pets

Yeah, we used to have a chinchilla. I saw yours over on the "pets" thread. I have bad animal dander allergies (some dogs and all cats, not horses) but the chinchilla never bothered me.

I also have a number of allergies, so I looked into it a bit.

With dogs the allergen is their dander. I tend to assume horses are the same as I can't walk downwind of one.
With cats it's their saliva. With cats being cats that ends up all over their fur.
Generally with rodents the allergen will be in their urine. That seemed to hold true since I used wood pellet cat litter in the chinchillas litter tray and I did get slightly affected while cleaning cages.

The chinchilla wasn't allowed to be in the main part of the house and was restricted to her room, so I didn't have much interaction with him.

I owned and raised horses growing up. I also had dogs and my allergies were pretty minor, and I tend to think that my allergies worsened as I got older--I haven't owned a dog in 20 years but other people's dogs make my nose stuffy. Cats make me break out in a rash, as does juniper and cedar and some other tree pollen.

Getting off topic, sorry folks.

An apron is a wonderful thing. I use mine regularly. Several years ago I switched to a different style that does not go around my neck. Long days of wearing the previous around-the-neck-style was just fatiguing.

I switched to the "Japanese" style -> https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07592D6WS?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1

Love it.

I also pin a cloth to the right side of the apron to be able to easily wipe my hands. I like Williams Sonoma dish cloth as it's larger than normal (which is why I didn't like it as a wash cloth!) Williams Sonoma: Page not available in your region

That looks like a good design idea. I can relate to something hanging/loading on part of you. Decades of wearing tools and now I don't put anything in my pockets or on my belt; can't stand it!
