I say go for the cute travel mug and use the smaller size as a excuse to refill it.

This is the way I was leaning.

Cute coffee mug; it may never come around again. I go with -t; refill, refill, refill.

More coffee. What if you're drinking while on the move? You might not be near a coffee pot for refills. And then what? THEN WHAT? You'll look at that pretty coffee mug and you'll think, "You're not looking so pretty anymore, mug." From then on the mug's failure to provide adequate coffee will color your entire perception of it.

Go more coffee.

Choose more coffee.

In conclusion: coffee.

Does this mean color vs coffee will become another one of those buffista debates?

Become? It's debate right now AIFG!

I made the first of my Sunbasket meals tonight, Salmon with tomato-ginger chutney and cardamom rice. Firstly, it was delicious, especially the chutney, which I will definitely make again. Of the 11 ingredients they sent me, I had all but three of them already, the fresh ginger, the salmon, and the shallots (which I often have but didn't today). I served it with some saag-inspired chickpeas and potatoes that were leftover from the other night, which is good because my half of the meal probably would have been enough for me, but TCG would have still been hungry. Already it was bad planning to start this week on my part. TCG has a late meeting tomorrow. So, I won't be cooking tomorrow, and then we're having dinner with his family on Saturday. So, I will make a second meal Friday night, and I froze the protein for the third meal to serve early next week, I think the rest of the ingredients for the third are hearty enough that they will last until Monday in the fridge.

I would probably choose for myself based on color and regret it every time I finished my coffee and wanted four more ounces.

-t FTW. That's exactly it. Everytime I finished the coffee, I'd think "dammit, if I'd gotten the bigger one, I'd have more coffee right now"

And the refill idea is good, but I also know that I am lazy, so I would think "I'll get up in a minute and get more", and then just . . not.

Also, retweet of the day ---

Plans that only involve you, a book, and a glass of wine are still plans and you shouldn't feel guilty about telling people you're busy.

Well I suppose if you end up really disliking the color of the bigger mug you could probably find a way to redecorate it later. I'm sure Plaid makes a paint for that.

It's not that I dislike the color of the big mug; it's basic black, and the smaller one is a very pretty blue.
