A few folks have asked where I came up with the name Bright Copper Kettles for my personal chef service. While I’m amused they have to ask, I understand not everyone has had the delightful pleasure of watching The Sound of Music, starring Julie Andrews. One of the most popular songs in the film is My Favorite Things. The opening lines of the song are Raindrops on Roses, Whiskers on Kittens, Bright Copper Kettles, and Warm Woolen Mittens. My kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Deramo, used to play this song on the piano over and over while we 5-year-olds learned the words. When I later fell in love with the movie as a teen, the song became all the more ingrained in my mind and I would often hum it almost unconsciously. So, when I was trying to come up with a name for my business about cooking, which is one of my favorite things to do and learn about, Bright Copper Kettles seemed like an obvious choice!
