Footless wine glass? Such things exist. Fashionable, centuries ago. Look up “wobble snifter”. A brandy snifter that can’t be put down. In the era of Covid 19, what a concept!

It wasn't footless until I smacked the base of and ground the sharp bits away.
It came out of the dishwasher with a tiny chip in the rim, so rather than trash it I "re-purposed" it.

I find it's actually easier to handle than the plastic domes (too big) and the glass tumblers I also use.
Probably mind over matter though.

You guys are starting to show an unhealthy obsession with biscuits (cookies?).
I hope lockdown ends soon for you so you can get out and go cookie crazy.
😉

You'd have a hard time getting your teeth into a casing cushion.

There were two local brands of those cakes, called Devil's Food Biscuits but both brands changed their cakes entirely last year, they no longer even resemble the old style and aren't very good at all. Perhaps it was a copyright or licensing issue.
Are Tasty Cakes still available in this form?

Rocks glass for me, broken that many I finally found one where I get something useful when I break the next one.

(Waiting on them to arrive so here is a borrowed from the web one.)

I notice that it's not a brandy snifter, but a broken brandy snifter.

Oh, I see I'm late to the party. Carry on.
