ION here's the apron that The Boy gave me for my birthday (on me)
Oh Tep-- you are SO June Cleaver in that. With pearls, even!
Good luck. Try not to kill people. Hands! Hands!

Well, I wore the dress to work (just your standard A-line shirtdress), but when I put on the apron, I realized that I needed pearls to complete the outfit (I was wearing a typewriter-key "S" necklace). So the pearls were staged.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Huh. But your cooking is better than fake meat and fake cheese. I have had decent fake meat, but no decent fake cheese. You have more sophisticated taste than that.

There are some fake meats I like, but I don't eat them too often. Trader Joe's nuggets are good, and Morningstar riblets, and Smart Dogs. Also some of the Tofurky sausages.

And, for anyone wondering, the zucchini bread I was baking while wearing the apron -- YUM.

What you were wearing made the bread better

Oh, that reminds me. I chopped up one of the Morningstar italians and used it in a dish with sauteed zucchini and peppers tossed with gnocchi. So good, and sausage works much better this way.

The fact that I like to cook also confuses my mother. To her, cooking is a chore, it seems.
(As for "sophisticated taste," I just put together tomorrow's lunch -- leftover kale/chickpeas/couscous, apple slices, carrot sticks with bottled dressing for dip, and walnuts. Nothing too sophisticated there. Things like stuffed squash blossoms don't happen too often -- lentil soup or curry are much more common here.)

I like to microwave a Morningstar breakfast sausage (faux-sage?) link or two, then crumble them and put them on pizza. Really good.
