Chef Apron, Father’s Day Giveaway!!!

Memorial Day is fast approaching and will fall this year on, Monday, May 26th. Memorial Day is a United States federal holiday celebrated on the last Monday of May in remembrance of the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces.  It’s  also the unofficial start of  summer!

Many people break out the barbecue for the first big cookout of the season and more often than not, it will be a male member of the family that’s manning the grill!

What is it with guys, fire and raw meat?

The perfect gift for the guy that grills or any cook or chef is an apron and for that reason, Crooked Brook is sponsoring a Chef Apron Giveaway. These professional chef aprons will also make a great Father’s Day gift for dads who like to cook.

The giveaway consists of:

  • Two, Apron Style #700 – 35” W x 25” L (approximately), made in white, 10 oz., 100% cotton denim. Depending on the height of the wearer, this apron is calf length.  Total Prize Value with SHI…$45.00

Aprons were originally worn as a utilitarian outer garment to cover the front of the body to protect the wearer’s clothes from soiling, wear and tear. Over the years many different styles of aprons evolved depending on the purpose and were often named after the trade, craft or profession that used that particular design.

 

A chef apron is waist apron which is a square or rectangular piece of fabric that ties around the waist to cover the body from the waist down. For a cleaner look, some chefs fold the top of the apron over the ties (see image). With a pocket (sometimes divided to create a pen pocket) to hold an order pad (dupe pad) it becomes a bistro apron.

 

These mid-calf length “old school” heavy duty chef aprons are hard to find and coveted by professional chefs and serious cooks alike.

Crooked Brook also makes a 35” W x 25” L apron that is perfect for grill masters who like to wear shorts and cook over an open or pit fire because the length protects bare legs from the heat.

Another good thing about these aprons is that after they are too dingy and beat up to wear in public, you can cut them up into 100% cotton rags.

Cant to wait to see if you won?

Happy Memorial Day Weekend Everyone and Thank You to our Veterans Past and Present!!!

Hi Everyone!!!  Sorry I have been slacking with the reviews and giveaways but I will make up for it by working to get a lot on this coming week.  I have some great stuff coming up so please be patient with me.  I have been very busy this weekend enjoying family and doing a lot of yard work.  We have so many projects going on here and the threat of rain is putting quite the damper on our outdoor painting and staining projects.  This afternoon I went and picked up all the plants for the garden.  Multiple kinds of tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, snap peas, green beans, cucumbers, zucchini, yellow squash, pumpkins, butternut squash, Italian parsley, sweet basil, cilantro, rosemary, Greek oregano, lots of perennials to add to our flower beds, seeds for radishes, and I think that is about it.  I have tons of spearmint, peppermint and lemon balm as they come up every year and lemon balm is impossible to get rid of and spreads like crazy.  Hoping to get everything planted tomorrow if the weather cooperates.

I love going into the garden every day and seeing everything growing and showing the little ones how are vegetables grow.  They came with me tonight and it was so cute because they each had to have a cart and they wanted to help with everything.  Ethan was so cute helping me load all the plants and trays in the car and when we got home in the dark, he was so cute unloading the car with the older boys and making sure all the little plants were safely on the deck until we can plant them.  Luke had to tell everyone he had flowers and plants for Mommy and comment on their carts filled with plants and flowers.

 

I hope you are all enjoying the weekend and the unofficial start of summer.  Remember to take some time and remember the meaning of this holiday weekend.  God Bless all our troops and keep them safe, thank you to all our veterans, and thank you to the veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.  Happy Memorial Day from Mommy Ramblings!!!
