Surely if it was a big room, and if you didn't touch, (Not that I touch
anyone elses sewing without their permission anyway) going into a room
where sewing was being done it'd be Okay.  Besides most of the poeple I
know usually wear aprons and wash their hands when I intend on leaving the
kitchen anyway.  And if someone decides to wear beautiful materials in long
sweeping trains into the kitchen and it gets ruined by grease stains or
something, I consider it their own faults.  I'm certainly not going to
pussyfoot everywhere, just because I'm a cook and the Baroness wants to
talk to me and she's wearing such a beautiful dress.  I even turn up to
court in an apron and flourly hands sometimes (good for effect when the
cook has to give a few words).  Besides, if someone has figured out a way
to make gard out of something that wasn't material, vould they please tell
me.  Cloth has to enter the kitchen at one time or another.  Discrimination
against teatowels, I wonder what the unions would say? =>

Some cooks, surprise though it may be to some, enjoy costuming as well.  If
we kept everything 'on topic' it would be quite a boring list.  Besides, if
someone asks for information, any information whether it be cooking or
other, and I can supply some, I certainly won't hesitate to reply and I
like to think that the others would do the same instead of refusing to help
on the grounds that this is a 'cooking' list.  Not everything is made of
pastry and bread dough you know.
