There is some serious cold weather happening right now and for those who want to avoid frostbite by curling up with a hot cup of tea, this mug may be a knight in shining porcelain armor.

Sure, any old mug will keep your fingers warm, but The ToastyMUG has gone so far as to provide a handle encasing half the mug – leaving a convenient, well-heated space for you to put your hands. Designer Sabrina Fossi sells the mugs, which come in grey and green-glazed ceramic, but they cost a pretty penny, about $72. Still, a handmade Italian mug that keeps you toasty when you can’t feel your fingertips? Might be worth it.

Nora Landis-Shack was born to be a foodie. With a classically trained French chef for a father, she’s been exploring new tastes since she was big enough to help chop vegetables for dinner. Pig’s feet, frog’s legs, and tripe are delicious child’s play. Which isn’t to say she doesn’t love a great steak. Because she does. With frites, please.
