GRANDMA'S APRON

A couple of years ago, I had purchased 100 aprons and had my fun, colorful logo printed on them. I did a photo shoot with my graphic designer, and we had his son, who was visiting from Australia at the time, be my model. JD made my apron look hot! I posted it on my website thinking I might sell a few. That wasn’t the case however, I ended up giving them away as gifts, donating them for non-profit auction events, and wearing them in the studio kitchen when I air my radio show. p9200136 They are a nice size, large enough to fit most ample bodies; have three great pockets for tools, recipes and scrunchies to keep my hair back while cooking. An occasional pen or pencil ends up in there also, especially when jotting down recipes.

Recently a friend sent me an email with the following story about aprons. There was no name attached to who is responsible for it, but I when I read it on my radio show, everyone seemed to like it, so I thought I would post it here.

"Appetite and sex are the great motivators of history...they preserve and propagate the species, they provoke wars and songs, they influence religions, law, and art. All of creation is one long uninterrupted cycle of digestion and fertility" - Isabel Allende

To give life to beauty, the painter uses a whole range of colours,musicians of sounds, the cook of tastes -- and it is indeed remarkable that there are seven colours, seven musical notes and seven tastes.”

Lucien Tendret (1825-1896)

CHICO — The guests on "Mama Rose's Kitchen" are farmers, chefs, community members hosting food events, and — musicians?

"If someone is creative onstage, or in another art form, they're probably creative in the kitchen," said Rosemary Febbo, host of the radio show on KZFR 90.1 community radio.

"Cooking is a pure art form, because it involves every sense we have."

On-air, she's chatted live about food with musicians Dick Dale, Dan Hicks, Holly Near, local Stevie Cook, and the late Norton Buffalo.

Febbo has been hosting the show more than six years. It even has its own original theme song, recorded by the local band GravyBrain, that she and her son Jason wrote. "I know a lot of artists," she said.
