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.

Also how do people drink their coffee? There was a point where I could drink coffee black but I've lost that ability - when I make coffee at home I'll add a little sugar, vanilla syrup, and milk - when im out I'll usually buy a vanilla latte

I drank it black for years but no more...now I start off with a little chocolate milk in my cup then pour in the java.

First, I drink most of my coffee from Fiestaware mugs:


Second, I don’t know if I knew that Don Bosco was an archaeologist or at least a cultural anthropologist. I am an archaeologist who works in the private sector, my wife’s PhD is from UNC’s Anthropology Department, and we hung out with the archaeologists when she was there.

Historian but we cover such things, especially when I get to teach pre-invasion America. I do have a former student who is an archaeologist in Texas...last I knew he was working for the City of San Antonio. Amazing stuff archaeologists do...I describe it to my students as having a thousand piece puzzle and only 200 pieces and no box top...yet they manage to create increasingly accurate images of the past.

I take my coffee with a small amount of half-half, but, I don't mind drinking it black.
