Do You Enjoy Soup in Mugs?
This weekend, I made homemade chicken noodle soup for Mr. Yum, who's been sick with a monster cough. I served myself some in a mug, because it's more compact and easier to carry around than a soup bowl — but I gave him a bowl because he can't stand eating soup in a mug. Do you enjoy soup in mugs?
Postcups: Love It or Hate It?
Kitschy mugs have never been my thing. However, when I saw these porcelain Postcups ($50) by Bailey Doesn't Bark, I thought they would make a fun Valentine's Day gift. The microwave-safe, handle-less mugs can even be engraved with a personal message.
YumSugar Gift Guide: The Kitchen Diva
She's the queen of the kitchen, can whip up a double chocolate souffle while sleeping, and has dined at Momofuko Ko, David Chang's notoriously difficult-to-get-into restaurant, twice. Think there's nothing to get this kitchen diva — the girl whose been there, done that, got the t-shirt? Think again!
Cool Idea: Mounting Mismatched China
Flea markets and thrift stores can be a treasure trove of mismatched china, which could lead to trouble depending on your level of impulse control. One too many "Oh, this little dish is too cute to pass up!" and next thing you know, you've got boxes of quirky plates without coordinating mates.
Expansif Mug: Love It or Hate It?
I found these beautiful Laurence Brabant handblown Pyrex Expansif Mugs ($34) at a local boutique. They seem so elegant, yet whimsical, and I love the way the handle is part of the vessel too. What do you think?
Mom's Heart Will Flutter With These Butterflies
When I was a kid, my mom had the most beautiful set of butterfly coasters. They were bamboo edges with clear glass on top of lace with a butterfly right in the center. They were too pretty to use and she had them as decoration, but I would play with them often.
Get Mugged!
Maybe it was all the coffee talk this week, but when I saw these cute fruit mugs that TeamSugar member fairy_MK bookmarked, I decided to go on a hunt for a new coffee mug. I checked out ShopStyle Living and found way more options than I expected. To see some of my finds, scroll through below.
Yum Market Finds: Magnificent Mugs
During this time of year, mugs are a valuable kitchen commodity. While they hold your everyday coffee, tea, or hot chocolate, I also like to use mugs to serve soups and stews. Looks like you also know the importance of a marvelous mug because the Yum Market on TeamSugar is full of them!
YumSugar Gift Guide: Remember Your Co-Workers
Finding the perfect gift for a co-worker can sometimes be a tricky task. You hang out with them for more hours than you do your own family, but for the most part it's still an office relationship. Selecting a gift for the ones you know well will be easy, but the ones you're not as familiar with might be a bit more difficult.
Tree or Star Mug: Love It or Hate It?
I saw these cute Tree and Star Mugs ($40 each) on Tastespotting and love the way their shape shows up only once you've added liquid in to it. What do you guys think? Would you celebrate the holidays with them?
