I'm more impressed with homemade hot dog buns, but it is a miracle that you didn't drip and ruin. Yellow mustard? Need to add that to my never touch my lips list. I love all the other mustards though and I'm glad you're happy!
Hip.......Hip........HOORAY!

I just had to revive this thread to share one of my proudest moments.
Last night, I made hot dog buns from scratch (long story), minced some red onions, cooked hot dogs in casings on a griddle (you know how those puppies explode?), and ate said hot dogs (including yellow mustard, red onions and Tapatio hot sauce) without getting even the tiniest splatter of anything on my very expensive cream-colored angora/mohair sweater! In fact, I forgot I was wearing it until I had already put the food on the table, so I wasn't wearing an apron or being the least bit careful! And I never once stopped to think that I might drip the world's most impossible to remove substance (yellow mustard) on it while eating!
Woo Hoo!!!
Okay. I know that was weird, but hey... Thanks for my moment... carry on!

I worked in a laundry for years, the best way to get stains (esp food) out of white clothing is in the wash cycle after you add detergent and before the bleach, add a cup of powdered dishwasher detergent(cascade or the like) it must be powdered and non lemon, then add your bleach and let it mix thoroughly then sit for about 3 min (depending on the stain) if you're at all skin sensetive however double rinse. I got stains out of all kinds of chef coats, aprons and even linens for a catering company with this concoction. Also remember tomato sauce will usually come out of any color clothes with just a little dish detergent, but do it soon.

I always keep one chef's coat for "meeting and greeting." No one has to read the menu on my cooking clothes. I'm pretty neat about cooking but I do have mishaps. It's best that clients see you in clean whites - it perpetuates the illusion I'm a perfect cook! :D

LoCo - you are so funny! How about a rain poncho? You could even protect your hair!!!
You know, if you think about it, our mothers didn't wear tee shirts and jeans when we were kids (mine did later on). That's what I'm usually wearing while I'm cooking. I always had to dress up for work and wear heels, etc, and couldn't wait to get into comfy clothes the second I got home. Even most of my holiday cooking is done wearing casual clothes. I think that's why I don't worry so much about stains. Not a single stitch has to be dry cleaned. I'd look ridiculous wearing a frilly apron, as funny as you making gravy in that poncho! ;0

I'll jump on that bagel-bitch boat... please keep those darned onion or everything or garlic bagels separate!!! And not just from the sweet ones. Keep 'em away from ALL the others! I hate it when my perfect sesame bagel tastes like an onion bagel!
Regarding aprons, I generally have at least two at any given time, but usually remember to wear none. Of course, when I do wear one, it never fails that I will splatter something onto a part of myself that's NOT covered by apron. I'm not even exaggerating. Seriously. This just happened around the holidays (again). I was wearing a crewneck T-shirt, the apron just covers my bust, and I managed to splatter gravy all above the top of the apron around the crew neck. Of course, my house is filled with comedians, and I never heard the end of it. "Only YOU could end up with food on your clothes while the apron remains spotless," or things to that effect. I've even ended up with stuff on my back! What the...???
I've actually been thinking that I need a chef's jacket, simply because everything would be covered. Or a smock. One with sleeves. Like artists and sculptors use. Of course, they're billowy, so I'd probably catch myself on fire. Which might be only slightly more of a problem than all the stains!

I hate when I get an assortment ot bagels and they mix the sweet with the savory ones. GRRR!
OMG! I can't believe this bothers someone else! I always say, "Put smellies with smellies because if you put one everything bagel in with eleven cinnamon raisin bagels, you have a dozen everything bagels!"
What summer foods are you cravin'?
Thick slices of heirloom tomatoes layered with fresh mozzarella & fresh basil & olive oil (room temp), home grown lettuces (so tender), any berry, corn on the grill with sweet butter, potato salad, a tall any-drink with lots of ice drunk while under my umbrella, bare feet....85 degrees out.

I have a drawer full - want one? Seriously, you should see the cute little "sexy" aprons I have. Not sure if they belonged to my mother or grandmother. Some are utilitarian, but many are decorative, sexy, or beautiful. Based on these, I think they put as much thought into their aprons as their "Sunday Best". I can't bear to get rid of them.
So, you actually cooked in a white jacket. Thanks for the info. Time for a uniform change, like the Catholic nuns? I like the striped apron, but Jamie looks cute in anything.

PerkyMac, I hated those coats. I wasn't in a fancy kitchen by any means, but it was my first stint at cooking that intensely, and I was often a mess.
Apparently, the idea is that a fully competent chef doesn't get splattered or spill on her/himself. My boss preferred the chef jacket, so it took me a while to realize that many of the cooks in London wear an apron (dark blue with white stripes). I went to that and it was a vast improvement:

I desperately need to buy myself an apron.
