“Mugs”

Like my somewhat odd obsession with colorful paper napkins (reminder: speak with therapist about this), I also love another kitchen item — the humble mug or cup.

For some reason (therapist note #2), I find mugs and cups comforting, substantial and grounding, especially when filled early morn with coffee and half and half, or if I’m in a adventurous mood, heavy cream.

Here a few more of my mugshots.

I asked Google AI about the difference between a mug and a cup, but I’m not sure she (?) he (?) got it quite right:

“A mug is a type of large, durable cup with a handle, used for hot drinks and without a saucer, while a cup is a smaller, more general-purpose drinking vessel, often more delicate, and might or might not have a handle or saucer. Mugs are designed for casual, everyday use with heartier beverages like lattes or hot chocolate, whereas cups are often favored for more formal settings with drinks like tea or coffee.”

But okay, whatever. I like them both.

And look, here’s one without a handle!

HR and a few mugcups …

Well, that’s about enough mugginess for one post.
