I had a birthday a few weeks back, and one of my presents consisted of two oversized mugs. This was part of a running joke we have in our family, which has to do with a scene from the 1995 BBC version of Persuasion. There is a scene, a breakfast scene, in the movie, where one of the main characters, Captain Frederick Wentworth, makes a comment to the main character, Anne Elliot:"Quite lucky then you didn't bump into him"
...and then he takes a hit off of a HUGE cup. This cracks me up so much, that I would keep playing the scene over and over just to get a laugh out of it. Hence, when my birthday came up, I got some large mugs. They are great for making a bowl of tea and then leaning over it to try to clear the sinus pressure I have right now. I am on vacation for Holy Week, and making the most of it by being sick.
Catch the action for yourself, starting at 5:15:
For those of you on facebook, follow the link below to the scene at 5:15.

okay, that's a cool mug. where'd it come from? I'm always looking for the biggest coffee mug possible for my hubby as he is a NOTORIOUS (retired Sailor) coffee drinker.

to learn about the tradition of drinking tea from a bowl! :-)
My. That's a lot of tea information.
Carolyn bought the monster mugs at the local Albertson's. I am guessing you must have Albertson's out in your part of Texas.
God bless and have a blessed Holy Week.
