Hi Carrie, and when you do figure this out, would you share it. We have an
old car with no mug holder, but we need to buy a new car very very soon. I
can't be anwhere without my tea or coffee, especially in the winter....so
hope you will share your musings on design for a non-spill mug.

All the best and hope you enjoy making those future casseroles and teapots.
I love making both.

I bought one that works great. Never spills and I just keep it on my
dashboard because it has a rubber bottom and will NOT slide. The reason =
it
doesn't spill is that the bottom of the container is wider than the lip
area and it has a lid with a hole in it for drinking. I saw the idea on a=

Star Trek show once so it is not so unique. It also has a nice big and
well-balance handle for grabbin'. But it is plastic (booh). Never saw o=

Oh but the newer cars have no dash board.. It is a
bubble that floats under the base of the window....
The only place to put anything down in my car is in
the cup holder, witch will not hold anything larger
then a MC Donalds medium or a Coke can..

Oh I remember the junk that my mother use to have on
that dash board of the old dodge when I was a kid.....
My goodness the junk that woman could find/keep!!!!!!

But Eydie, you can get your self one of those machined
ceramic ones at Lecters.. Or who the heck did I see
making them ??? I am sure you would be able to find
one at Sugar Loaf in G-burg.. I think the next one is
March.. EVERYTHING IS IN MARCH!!!!!!!!!
