Your Morning Coffee (Cup)?

[donbosco]

My cup this morning. A photo of your’n perhaps? Why? Students in my pre-invasion America class have read about the inscriptions on ‘ancient’ Maya drinking vessels and what that ‘might’ reveal about those times and people. Inscriptions seem to have indicated what went into the container but also what the drink’s purpose might have been - and sometimes the ‘Whose Cup It Is’ questions appear to have been answered. I wonder how such a projection might work nowadays. My pictured cup is one of several that I have in #WNC and it is definitely for a hot beverage by design. (Residue inside would show what exactly) The design on the outside could invite a good deal of speculation as well. What are you drinking from today?

So did the Maya of the 9th century have Thrift Shops?

Show us your cup?

Johnson & Wales University - Charleston Campus. I studied Culinary Arts there over 25 years ago. It’s an old school “Diner” mug, the kind you might see at a Truck Stop. Sturdy.

Do Tervis mugs count? Panthers logo.

Fancy mug I got for Christmas from East Fork in Asheville. I like the heft. It’s either this or one with the classic NASA logo on it.

One of my girls went there for some kind of 2-3 day crash course about 20 years ago She then went on to work and "study" a couple of Coffee Shops in Carrboro .And now has her own coffee shop at Southern Village which is about to expand.
Maybe her Econ degree from UNC helped-but the JW thing is what got her a career

I like my coffee hot, this mug holds 4 cups which is what I consume on most days. The magnet slider prevents any accidental spillage as I traverse through the house.
