Geek Apron Heaven (GAH!)

Since this whole “cooking and blogging” thing seems to be sticking, I figured I better get myself a cool apron. What kind of self respecting food blogger doesn’t own a proper apron?

Were I a craftier lady, I would just make one. I am not. Sewing and brain surgery are about equal in my mind, in terms of skill level. Example: Middle school home ec. class, circa 1986, Sewing Day (as opposed to Cooking Day, in which a bunch of 12 year olds are taught to make quiche- wth?). Making a simple pair of shorts turned into a nightmare filled with 3 different broken needles on 3 different sewing machines and the teacher asking me, “Why don’t we just let someone else finish those up for you?” before I even really had anything started. I could scapegoat that teacher for my lack of talent in this area, but all my subsequent attempts went pretty much the same or way, way worse. I am simply not meant to sew.

So I shop.

Bethany Sew-and-Sew is kind of my opposite in terms of skill and coolness in the aprons she makes (and she does custom orders too!):

And there are too many cool Star Wars-themed aprons to count, for both guys and gals! Thinkgeek has both Wars and Trek (and Dune!)…

Of course, Etsy is an absolute goldmine for a variety of styles (Superheroes, Firefly, Dr. Who, Alice):

But I found my true loves (Cthulu and Tesla, as well as MANY food pun aprons) at cafepress:

And lastly, from Zazzle, The Iron Grill (The Army of Darkness Boomstick apron at the beginning of this post is also from them.):

Check out our pinterest board Cooking in Space for tons of sci-fi kitchen accessories to go with these aprons. I would seriously kill someone for the Boba Fett mixer.

Check back on my next post to find out which apron I choose…

About mel

Hello Fellow Food Enthusiasts! I am the East Coast Representation of Cast Iron & Wine. I'm a married gal in my late 30's, living in northeast Pennsylvania. The hubbs is really the one who does most of the cooking and experimenting, so I will mostly be describing his recipes and the results (good or bad). I will call him "M", like Moriarty. Expect Anthony Bourdain-level snark whenever possible from both of us. We only kinda became foodies in the last few years, so many many tastes are new to us. My posts fall mostly in the "what NOT to do" category, but I'm learning. I'm so excited that we have a venue like this to share food experiences!
