Baking and Mugs

 

At just 15C this morning it really felt like Fall.  Thursdays usually mean grocery shopping and we did that first thing.  Can you tell what I'm planning to bake next? 


 Yesterday I took out all 26 of my mugs ( I have quite a collection).  I recently acquired 2 more so I forced myself to put 3 in the thrift store box that is my ongoing donation box.


 The one below was given to me on Sunday by GD Kate.


 Look what's written in the bottom inside the mug?  Isn't that the sweetest?


I picked this one up at the thrift store when I took the last box in.  It has white polka dots on the blue  interior and the mug itself is super large. Was it C S Lewis who said that in his opinion there couldn't be a cup too big  him?   He would have liked this one.


 
Thanks for visiting today

  2. Looks like pumpkin pie is on the menu. I was just thinking about pumpkin pie. I have a store bought pie shell in the freezer. However the last one I made, last winter, was crustless. I liked it that way.

  7. Here ist also feels like autumn.. You plan to bake a cake with pumpkins? Nice hobby, your cup-collection! Sometimes a new cup is coming, and sometimes a cup is walking to another place. The big blue cup is lovely and makes every teatime to a healing medicine for the soul.

  9. I prefer the largest mugs also! I might have 26 mugs, but at least ten of those are Christmas mugs, which I sometimes forget to bring out at Christmas!
