does everyone have a favorite cup they like to drink their coffee tea or cocoa out of. well i know you do,i do too. this morning,though,the handle came rite off of mine,and i was sorely dismayed having to throw my favorite cup into the recycling bin,and so started a day where i went from store to store looking for that rite cup. each cup i picked up,was either too small or too square or even too deep.one was for caffe latte,one for cappuchino,one for expresso,one especially made for tea,with an infuser too.who knew there were so many cups for different beverages! not i!! well i finally found one,i have fiestaware,and the manufacturer, makes this very large cup in many colors. i picked out an aqua blue cup,brought it home,washed it out and prepared myself a giant cup of apple chamomille tea.i couldnt wait to take it on the front porch and sit and sip. i poured the water and covered the tea to let it steep. when i picked up the cup i found it was so heavy that my arthritic fingers on my rite hand couldnt manage to hold it,so down it went.the tea splashed all over the place but the cup didnt break. that fiestaware is like iron!! so im back to the smaller fiesta cups,one that i can manage to hang on to..so goes the old adage bigger is not better..LOLLOL...im putting a plant in the bigger one...LOL..hugs mindy

Reminds me of my trip to TJ Maxx outlet last week. I wandered into the housewares section and saw some lovely bright cookware pieces by Rachel Ray. Remembering that I have a recipe for a hearty bread which must be baked in a large covered dutch oven, I started to grab one of the 8 qt size. I got it off the shelf about 1" and almost dropped it on my foot. It was cast iron covered with porcelain. How do people cook with those huge cast iron fry pans? Do they just wipe out the grease and move it around the stove when they need to use a burner? Guess I'm a wimp.

im in total agreement with you kaci. i find that with the bigger cups it take double the time to cool off and enjoy the beverage and by the time it cools off,its cold!! looks like its going to be a bit cooler here today...hows the colors out there by you...things are just starting to turn here..hugs min
LOL...I went through the same thing while away this summer.
