Awesome post.My favorite “mug” mug would be these basic heavy white mugs I got shortly after I got my house. I was still living at home with my mom when her house burnt to the ground; it was a dark time for her. My brother and I started taking her to breakfast every Saturday morning at a different diner, restaurant, hole in the wall... ect. Almost every place had these basic white mugs and it became apart of the experience. It brightened her time until we got back on our feet.

Hornorable mention.
My first hunting experience was on a frigid early morning hunting long beards. I was chilled to the bone and my source of heat was sitting next to me, my dad. He shared his hot black coffee with me and I watched in awe as the bitter drink was poured from his Stanley thermos. It wasn’t half bad, but my inexperienced guts disagreed and soon I reeling in pain from my sudden “urge”. It ended our hunt early, but I was hooked; on hunting and black coffee. My mom showed me the way to “enjoy” coffee with a little heavy cream, or half and half and I haven’t looked back.
The Stanley thermos of my dad’s was coveted heavily by my brothers and I growing up, along with his olive drab Bucklite 422. I have the knife, but lost the thermos in the fire.

Side bar.
My ex gave me this mug and I really liked it, more than I liked her. I dumped her and blew the mug up with my 1911 in 45 ACP. I don’t regret either action.

Oh, LOVE them cookies!
Thanks! They sure go well with coffee.Nice SAK too
Jon I believe you're thinking about the same cookie, these are "lil Dutchmade" almond windmill; they are a little spicy - cinnamon, ginger...Dwight is that a Speculaars Dutch type cookie? Kind of spicy?I spose the windmill is a clue but I remember the ones that looked a bit like the Lewis chessmen .
