La Platicona Habla: Tastes, Passions and Pursuits

For food lovers, hungry people, and cooking officionados or novices. This blog is for people who are real cooks, wannabe cooks, or no cooks at all. Almost all of these recipes are vegetarian, some use seafood. Recipes are creations of my own, adaptations from cookbooks, or from other internet sources with links.

The Virgin Apron

August 28, 2006

1000 pardons for my gross neglect of this cooking blog this past week. I have been away on vacation and will remain incognito for at least another week. Understanding that you may need something to tie you over, I give you this fabulous post about my super-fabulous Virgin of Guadalupe apron. The Baking Master was kind enough to bestow this beautiful apron upon me recently. She slaved away behind her sewing machine, and created the most amazing apron I've ever seen: the apron features an overhead bib front that can fold down beneath the skirt if you want only a half apron; 2 large front pockets to store cooking utensils or the phone; long tie backs; and the ever-sexy red lace finish. If you are jealous, unfortunately, there is no cure other than to beg Baking Fool to conjure her domestic skills and create an equally fantastic forties arpon for you too, but don't hold your breath.

If you absolutely must have a copy-cat apron, I suggest you go to Taos or Santa Fe and purchase your very own Virgy cloth and sew your own. I got this cloth from Common Thread in Taos for ten dollars a yard (yikes!) but worth every penny. This fabric store offers a lot of colors with this print, and they also feature Dia de los Muertos cloth, and Frida Kahlo cloth. My only complaint is that the service is absolutely awful--but hopefully when you go, the service will be much improved.

Thank you Baking Master.
