Coffee, Tea, or Fettuccine Due: August 13, 2026

Tonight is a Blue Moon -- the second full m00n in the same moth.
Try to stay up and watch the moon rise. It is supposed to be stellar!

I have the whole set and I love them. Look at the size of the mug. Its the perfect size for any meal!

I'm an empty nester now so this is all I use. I coveted them when the kids were little because they are not replaceable. Unless I get lucky at a yard sale or thrift store. But I've never found one out in the wild.

These dishes have been the center of every holiday for 35yrs in my little world.

LOVE these.
I have never seen them!
Thanks for sharing pictures!

You had a wnderful mother. My husband and I used coffee mugs for wine in our airbnbs if there were no wine glasses. Also in places that maybe we wanted to disguise our beverage. Lurking.

This is such a lovely topic—it brings back so many memories of cozy moments and delicious treats. ️

Hot chocolate, oatmeal, ramen, or mug cakes… When you think about it, the mug really is the most important thing in the kitchen
Please sign me up, thank you!

Are "mug cakes" cakes that are cooked/baked in a mug, or do you have a super-duper-special recipe?

i just got back from the haunted market, the handmade pottery mugs were to die for, so creative and heavy duty, it was really hard to say not today

I know EXACTLY what you mean!

When we go to the "Renaissance Fair" (annual fair every summer) I just take along an extra bag or back pack and tissue paper for mugs!
I've had too many vender bags fall apart before I can get purchases from the car to the house.
And the (grocery) paper bags with the paper handles are the worse! The handles pull off if one doesn't say "Please" and "Thank you" whenever they are touched

Yesterday I had two paper grocery bags and 2 plastic bags die! Fortunately nothing breakable in the bags!
But nothing like not being able to get one's purchases from car to kitchen........I "think" I spouted a few "naughty" words!!

thats a great idea! i didn't know what to expect, it being my first time there but i will def be prepared for next time! some people had those wagon carts too for those big items you dont want to lug all over in a crowd

My daughter often made little cakes in cups, they are ideal for one person, easy, quick and cody to eat Looks like that e.g., but many recipes are possible
