Okay...again I know this isn't food, but how many of you remember wearing an apron?? This sure brought back allot of memories for me...hope it does for you, too! Ingredients:
the principal use of grandma's apron was to protect the dress underneath, but along with that, it served as a potholder for removing hot pans from the oven. |
it was wonderful for drying children's tears, and on occasion was even used for cleaning out dirty ears. |
from the chicken coop, the apron was used for carrying eggs, fussy chicks, and sometimes half-hatched eggs to be finished in the warming oven. |
when company came, those aprons were ideal hiding places for shy kids. |
and when the weather was cold, grandma wrapped it around her arms. |
those big old aprons wiped many a perspiring brow, bent over the hot wood stove. |
chips and kindling wood were brought into the kitchen in that apron. |
from the garden, it carried all sorts of vegetables. after the peas had been shelled, it carried out the hulls. |
in the fall, the apron was used to bring in apples that had fallen from the trees. |
when unexpected company drove up the road, it was surprising how much furniture that old apron could dust in a matter of seconds. |
when dinner was ready, grandma walked out onto the porch, waved her apron, and the men knew it was time to come in from the fields to dinner. |
Directions:
1. It will be a long time before someone invents something that will replace that 'old-time apron' that served so many purposes. They would go crazy now trying to figure out how many germs were on that apron. I don't think I ever caught anything from an Apron. Isn't a little sad aprons are basically a thing of the past and our children won't ever know about them?
