I've been tired of cooking for awhile now. It's not surprising, given that I am the primary cook of my household (which is not, I will add, a position that I ever willingly took on - yes, you detect a note of bitterness there), despite a typical 60-65 hour work week, not to mention studying on top of that. However, one obviously glaring thing that is missing from my kitchen is an apron. You'd be surprised just how often I end up finding grease spots on my clothes from cooking, and how often I end up having to special-treat them in the laundry room. The whole situation is kind of a disaster, really. But I digress.

So then here comes along Redditgifts with an apron exchange, and I thought - why not? Maybe it will be fun. Maybe I'll get something really neat that I never would've found myself. Maybe I won't have to keep treating greasy spots on my shirts. Really, the whole thing sounds like a win-win, right?

Enter /u/ktgator.

She selected this incredible Boojiboo retro apron that's adorned with cameras. The note included with the apron reads:

"I hope this apron will draw you to the kitchen and help you love cooking again! It also looks sturdy enough to withstand washing, so don't be afraid to use it all the time.

Happy cooking! -ktgator"

It fits like a dream, it's heavyweight enough that spatters shouldn't go through too badly, and it's super cute. What more could I ask for?

(Brownies. The answer to that question is brownies. Especially the Ghirardelli turtle brownies. I need to make that happen. Now.)

Thank you, ktgator!! :)
