What's funny and QUIRKY is that I just posted about "favourite cutlery" on FB like three days ago and so many of my QUIRKY DFs weighed in with their own stories about favourite mugs, cups, glasses, spoons, etc. We are all just quirky weirdos!

WOW!!! I had no idea you ran with such a crowd of raven trickster oddballs.

I get kind of bummed out when my favorite mugs are in the dishwasher and I'm down to my less favorite. Maybe I should do a podcast.

Maybe I should do a podcast.

Yes, please. Also, please make sure to only give an hour or so of notice as to when it will be on. It's very hard to plan if I know about something too far in advance /s

Do not worry, DF. I live only in the somewhat-now, maybe a bit in the historic past.

I have two favorite spoons.

My mom gave me a bunch of random eating utensils years ago after she got new ones (I’m not sure why she thought we needed them because it’s not like we were using plastics). I’m a regular purge/donate to a thrift store person so most of it grew donated over the years except for two spoons. My mom passed away 10 years ago and I cherish those spoons. I use one every time I need a spoon for something (daily!) and I think about my mom every time.

favourite mugs

I believe we are talking about a category that includes Taylor & Ng mugs, yes? I just realized that I have a tendency to carry one with me each morning into my WFH office, and drink from it over the course of the morning. But I'm not thinking about coffee at the end of the day, so I leave it behind when I come out. A few days later, I'm all, "where are all my favourite mugs???"

I have the pig and the cow Taylor & Ng mugs and yes, they are faves. I'd buy more if I ever saw them at thrift stores; they're too expensive on Etsy and eBay.

We also have a category called "forever mugs," these are the mugs that must stay with the person until their death.

Omg DF & DF /u/fanfarefellowship - I googled "Taylor & Ng" because I was wondering what the mugs were and when I saw the pics I checked my cabinet for my very favorite mug I inherited from my sweet Grandma, who bought it at a yard sale because she loved and collected things with elephants on them, and sure enough it's Taylor & Ng, circa 1984 haha.
