Cooking is messy business. This guy knows it. You know it. I know it.
There's not always time for a man to change before supper, and guests arrive whether you want them to or not. Men have two options: risk your good slacks, or put on a gol darn apron.
According to the container ad above, beer helps ease the shame of apron wearing. (Assuming you can figure out how to get the can open.)
Some guys aren't into beer. Luckily, Don Draper brought back the glam of cocktails.
LOL, Galliano! I see what you did there!
Julia Child showed us the joys of cooking with wine, and this guy definitely got the memo:
Not everyone drinks, so this little wifey is ready with an alternative.
Supportive wives are such treasures. They'll even help you tie your apron if you can't quite work out the process.
The wife below looks ready to giggle at hubby's carrot skills.
His trousers might be protected, but pants aren't the only things at risk of smears when men man the stove. This kitchen is a MESS:
His wife should have tasked him with something significantly less complicated. Smart women start them simple.
This guy is ready.
Wine?
Check.
BBQ tools?
Check.
Tactical apron?
Check.
The illustrations in the book are... exceptional. Here's one example:
The dude is salting a rotisserie apple and playing his belly like a drum with a wooden spoon.
EVERY
WIFE'S
DREAM!
While not wearing an apron per se, he's covering what needs to be covered after making time to take off his trousers.
Let's all take a moment to recognize that aprons are a national treasure. Though in this case, fig leaves should probably get an honorable mention.
