A Man in the Kitchen Turns up the Heat

                          

IMG_2642

What is your idea of a sexy man?
Does one in an apron heat up your kitchen?
How about two?

French Husband sports a fluffy, fu-fu apron that is too small for him. The haphazard bow, tied quickly, is what I like. Unfortunately, you cannot see his friend's apron… it has pink rosebuds on it.

Sexy.
A man in the kitchen opening oysters.

……… For the few men who read this Tongue in Cheek… You might want to sport an apron tonight for your honey. (For extra flavor, add sugar and wear nothing underneath.) That will get the water boiling.

    I guess it depends what he is wearing underneath the apron (ooh did I say that?)

    A man of integrity and caring for you when you are sick bringing you flowers and beautiful cards on no particular occasion and one who stays by your side no matter what……..
    That is a man.
    We are truly blessed.
    Love all you share

    Once a man is confident of his masculinity, it takes more than an apron to undermine him!!
    What a great image…..what were they cooking?
    YOu could enlarge the image for your kitchen wall!

    Love how you enjoy being with your husband. Few American men could put on a frilly apron with ease, especially with flowers and too tiny. What fun, French silliness!

    I have always thought that my hubbie is the sexiest man alive when he is vacuuming….

    Hmmm,
    Seems like SOMEONE is feeling a little better, huh? When thought turnto sexy, one can’t be too focused on their cracked ribs 🙂
    I think my man cooking in the kitchen is sexy enough. An apron would be ok, but I think the frilly and pink might not push me over the top……

    Mine can’t cook but he’s a great dishwasher!! Apron? Never gonna happen.
    I read about Daisy – this is heart wrenching – she is so sweet. I’m praying so hard for her and her lovely family. I hope their rain will go away and there will be sunshine beaming down on them when they bring her home SOON.

    I love this picture – the aprons definitely add to the charm. A man in the kitchen, enjoying himself is very sexy. Hmm, I guess a man truly enjoying whatever he is doing, but particularly if it is a sensory pursuit, is sexy. Thanks for the smile you’ve put on my face. Hope your rib is co-operating.

    I do think the guys look sexy but since most of the people cooking in my world are usually men, it wouldn’t be my cup of tea exactly. But…give me a guy who can do a great pedicure and I’m his for life. LOL.

    Love that photo and the spirit of the men in it. Very sexy indeed is a man that is completely devoid of self consciousness and does what he loves with all his heart!

    Unfortunately we do more “warming up” of food rather than cooking these days so there isn’t much call for aprons (actually, there has never been much call for aprons, we just got by being messy).
    Glad to hear daisy is home and doing better.

    A man who will hold your purse temmporarily while you are shopping. Teaches you how to do home repairs to save money. Brings over a gourmet dinner that took him hours to prepare(and he leaves the dirty dishes at home for him to do later). Now that is a great guy!

    Have a great weekend!

    One of the first times my now-husband (who always cooks, and always wears an apron) cooked for me, I murmured something about it being sexy. His response?
    “I know.”
    What a twerp!

    Corey,
    I have to say that I’m a fall all over myself sucker when I see my husband with a baby. I think it’s the juxtaposition of a strong man holding a delicate baby making soft sounds, smiling, and seeing the happiness and love spill out of his eyes. Maybe this explains why we have four children!
    By the way, any man willing to shell oysters (flowery apron and all) is just as precious and rare as the pearls inside the oysters!
    Great Photo!

    My husband doesn’t wear an apron when he cooks but……. I feel kind of silly saying this but here goes.
    We’ve always had automatic cars but once when we took a car for a test drive the only model they had was a stick shift. I had never seen my husband drive one and boy oh boy, did I find that sexy.
    Hope your rib is doing better Corey.

    hot and hot! and even hotter when they do dishes too. my husband says he gets a charge out of doing dishes. i think i get a charge out of it too.
    i am SO sorry about your broken rib (but selfishly i am really thankful it is not me – i have a respiratory infection and coughing and broken ribs REALLY don’t go together!)
    i hope you mend up really fast!

    I have a black apron that says ‘The Kitchen Is Not My Best Room’. That’s the only one my husband has worn so far. Usually he just ends up with a mess all over his shirt. (although I have to say I don’t know if I could take him seriously if he wore my chicken apron. hmm…I can’t take myself too seriously with that apron either….LOL…)

    If I saw Matthew in an apron I would laugh myself silly at him… so not sexy! And then I would wonder where the heck he got the apron from… we dont have any in this house! 🙂

    Oh, yes! A man in an apron is SEXY! As is a man with a vacuum in hand! I like the idea of au natural sous the apron, though! Naughty Naughty!

    Your husband is a five star keeper! Sexy! Yes definitely. You do take delight in the moment and see it in an extra ordinary way.

    I love it when my husband makes breakfast. It’s wonderful how he can reach all the top shelves with such ease. And the pancakes are sublime.

    Years ago I presented my husband with a fridge magnet that reads ” I love a man with dishpan hands.” …and I do! He is a dish fanatic who washes the dishes and then runs them through the dishwasher. (Did I marry my mother or what?) For holidays, birthdays and Christmas I always include a new little special scrubby pad or brush and it truly is a token of affection and gratitude, as wierd as that sounds. I so appreciate the times he takes over for me and does the dishes with such finesse!
