This is one that’s been in the “whaddya waitin’ for?” queue since it arrived at Christmas. I could not bring myself to use an entire tablespoon of leaf (mostly rooibos with a few leafy petals scattered about) as recommended, but that was for a 12 ounce mug; my Shakespearean insult mug is, eh, ten-ish, so I settled for two generous teaspoons.
I’m not sure there’s a lot you can do with a bourbon vanilla other than make it taste like vanilla, but the “caramel finish” touted in the proprietor’s description is coming across more like buttery pastry. Not a tit-for-tat substitute for a sweet roll or honey bun I am currently craving, but it fills the gap a little.
I have a Shakespearean Insult mug, too! It’s the one made by the Unemployed Philosopher’s Guild. :)
Yep, it’s the same one. https://www.amazon.com/Shakespearean-Insults-Coffee-Mug-Shakespeares/dp/B0038TYV7I My favorite is “a fusty nut with no kernel.”
What’s your favorite mug, gmathis?
That’s a fantastic mug. Thank you for bringing its existence to my attention :)
derk, it depends on the day. One of my spring/summer favorites is a large white hobnail porcelain—the bumps feel good in my fidget-craving hands. Fall/winter: a hand-thrown clay mug from the pottery shop at Silver Dollar City. Same reason—the ridges feel good when you rub them.
