Fun Monday# I'm hosting next week (6 Aug)

JUST REPOSTING THIS TO MAKE SURE I HAVE THE LINKS FOR EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO JOIN IN.



This is my second time at hosting Fun Monday and it is quite by coincidence that I am keeping you all in the kitchen as I had this ready for last week when I though I might be at the helm then.

However I will confess I'm going to cheat a little, as 'ideas' are not my big thing, and use an event I participated in a few weeks ago. I saw it being advertised by Barbara and Cookiecrumb from Lucillian Delights food blog. It was Pamela who commented that I could make this the subject of a Fun Monday. So with a little variation here goes:

I would like you to 'show your aprons' it can be your favourite or an unusual one or more than one. Be creative as you like;
and secondly if, like me, you have lots of 'tea towels' that are brand new (or could be an old favourite) I would like to see those as well and hear the story behind the picture- was it a gift from a holiday, a present from auntie that you only use when she visits etc...........


Please let me know if you are intending to participate by leaving a comment. Thank you

POSTSCRIPT
I don't know what aprons are called in other countries so if anyone is in doubt as to what I mean here is a link that shows some pics AND GUYS HAVE A LOOK THE PICS ARE NOT ALL WOMEN!!

I'll do it, but I have no idea what this "apron" thing is you mention. Aren't you just supposed to wipe your hands on your pants?

Now, why would I want an apron?

Seeing as I now own an apron (purchased recently) I can play!

At first, I was thinking "apron? I have no aprons." I do; I just do not wear them. Count me in.

I used to have aprons. Since I never used them, I tossed them. Years ago. So I can't play. Boo.

 
At 30/7/07 12:22, Blogger ChrisB said...

irreverentmama What about a decorative 'tea towel' !!

Here's the deal. I want to play, but we are leaving on a road trip and won't be home until next Monday. I have already composed a post where I guessed at the "topic." It wasn't aprons and tea towels.
If theHansMan is late leaving, I will have time to put this together. If not, may I use the post where I just guessed at Fun Monday's topic?

What is this thing you call an apron? I have certainly never seen one in my house.

I'll play along, I'm just not exactly sure what I'm going to post a picture of!

I don't have an apron anymore. I guess I just get crap all over my clothes when I cook, huh!

I will try to participate, I'll be on vacation but I can schedule posts.

 
At 30/7/07 16:24, Blogger Beckie said...

I'm in - I'm not sure what my aprons look like, but I have a box of them in the basement. They belonged to my Mom and Grandmother. They are probably moldy.....

 
At 30/7/07 17:32, Blogger Happy Working Mom said...

At 30/7/07 17:38, Blogger Kaytabug said...

My grandmother generously gave me some really cute tea towels.

Come on Chris, you've got to be kidding! Aprons and tea towels!?! What kind of a nancy boy do you take me for? I'm in.

I'll join in :)

 
At 31/7/07 22:04, Blogger Robinella said...

I'll play.

 
At 1/8/07 04:30, Blogger Unknown said...

I would love to play but honestly I have no aprons. All these kitchen oriented Fun Monday's are making me feel a little masculine. I just don't like to be in the kitchen. So I have no aprons to share so I guess I'll sit this one out.

Look forward to seeing everyone else's though.

 
At 1/8/07 16:29, Blogger Debs said...

I am in :)

Sounds like fun.

 
At 2/8/07 00:54, Blogger Unknown said...

I'm going to try to participate in this one. I'll see how the weekend goes (if I can find a few spare minutes to dig out the aprons and some of our more interesting tea towels and then photograph them).

;).

 
At 2/8/07 04:00, Blogger Tiggerlane said...

I'm in, but be warned...I cook nekkid.

 
At 2/8/07 09:40, Blogger ChrisB said...

Thank you all for joining me on this one :)

 
At 2/8/07 14:18, Blogger Amy W said...

I will play, but I am going to have to steal my daughter's apron...

 
At 2/8/07 14:22, Blogger Fianna said...

I am leaving town, but I am gonna participate from the road. I may be a bit early in my post just to ensure it gets up there. Love me some aprons!

 
At 2/8/07 23:23, Blogger Jenni said...

I've thought long and hard about this and I've decided to do it. It's not an easy assignment for me. Please add me to the list anyway:o)

Why do you want to get rid of that moss? I love moss! We're actually going to dig some up from the woods, put it in a blender, and paint it on some of our boulders. (Our landscape architect friend says that's the way to transplant it.) Moss is cool and lush and so like a tiny forest. Keep the moss and act like you put it there on purpose.

Stephanie I've added you to the list thanks for joining in :)

 
At 4/8/07 15:11, Blogger theotherbear said...

I have no idea what to post as I don't have aprons. I was going to tell you I cooked in the nude but I see tiggerlane has already done that joke. I have tea towels but not exciting ones so not sure on that one either. I'll see what I can come up with anyway!

 
At 4/8/07 15:58, Blogger ChrisB said...

theotherbear- that's a post in itself talking about no apron and ordinary tea towels (or your dishwasher maybe if that dries your dishes!!)

 
At 4/8/07 17:31, Blogger katy said...
