Something of Use – Ball Aluminum Cups

solo cupsYou’re hosting a BBQ and the numbers are larger than 10 people – what do you use for beer cups?

Most people go for the Solo Plastic Cups – they are inexpensive and can be recycled, right? Too bad that they don’t keep the beer cold and break at the top with force.  You can wash them by hand, but the dishwasher is not an option.

A friend hosted a party in the Midwest and offered these Ball Aluminum Cups instead:

5:43 am

dievca has been welcoming the dawn with coffee and stretching on the rooftop.
Early was best to beat the heat and get out of the AC.
This morning is offering rain…
50/50 chance at 5:43 am (sunrise).

Ah, well, maybe dievca will get lucky.

Good Morning!

#2 Tossware

Yikes!  Rooftops in NYC are really windy and it’s not safe to have crystal wineglasses get knocked over or break on the concrete.

Tossware is a brand of reusable, recyclable crystal clear plastic-ware which is elegant for parties where traditional crystal is not a smart idea.

dievca found it very elegant to use, it washes well and stacks/stores easily for the cupboard or storage unit.

Excellent for a NYC apartment building and just as good for the Suburbia Football Saturdays grilling out on the patio.

dievca bought her Tossware on Amazon.

Take a look:

You can even go on to the Tossware site and get pieces made for your event or use their fun graphics:

 

 


Still in one piece….but moving slowly…

Went to 2 am and everyone seemed to have a good time.  Whew!
