- Thinsulate insulated Kup Kollars hold in the cold, longer.
I tried coffee and tea smoothies at Jamba Juice today. I didn’t care for the Matcha Green Tea Blast, blended with soymilk, nonfat vanilla frozen yogurt, plain sorbet, ice and powdered Matcha Green tea. The tea smoothie was full-flavored so if you like the ingredients, I suggest giving it your own taste test.
I enjoyed the Mocha Mojo coffee smoothie very much! It’s blended with organic coffee base, soymilk, nonfat frozen yogurt, chocolate moo’d base, and ice. The strong coffee and chocolate tastes are nicely blended. I asked the server what the word “moo’d” meant. He told me it was a play on words combing “moo” and “mood”. Clever!

- Pink Flowers Kup Kollar on iced tea glass
Colleen joined us for breakfast at The Peak Grill on one of her visits. When the waitperson put the hot syrup container on the table, Colleen pulled her cup wrap from her purse and slipped it onto the container to keep the syrup hot for our pancakes!
Because Colleen’s idea worked so well, I sewed a Kup Kollar for myself to match my large Pancake Kap. Pouring hot syrup onto a hot granola pancake from The Peak Grill makes a great breakfast even better!

Place a Kup Kap on your glass to keep insects from swimming in your wine while enjoying appetizers!
Forty years ago, I volunteered to bring deviled eggs to a cookout. The day of the event I discovered I had no pickle relish to make the eggs. I didn’t have transportation to a food store to buy a jar.
Controlling my panic, I began looking through my refrigerator and cupboards to find substitutes. I found cheese slices and bacon so made the following recipe. Over the years, I’ve served thousands of these deviled eggs. They disappear quickly!
- 6 hardboiled eggs
- 6 pieces of crispy bacon
- 3 slices of American cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon mustard
Peel, rinse, and cut the hardboiled eggs in half lengthwise. Scoop out the yokes and put into a small bowl. Lay the white halves on an egg tray.
Smash the yokes into tiny crumbs with a fork or pastry cutter. Chop bacon and cheese slices very fine in a food processor on highest speed. Add to yokes. Stir in mustard. Add mayonnaise to moisten the mixture. Opt: Add black pepper to taste.
Scoop egg mixture into egg-white halves. Sprinkle paprika on the eggs for color. Chill.

Two Kup Kollars on Contigo water bottle
Perry and I left Trappers’ Trail and biked to the Drive In at 2309 North Weber Street in Colorado Springs. It’s our favorite place for soft serve ice-cream. I ordered deliciously creamy chocolate with hot fudge sauce in a cup.
Perry ordered a medium-size chocolate cone. After biking in hot weather, this tall cone helps him cool off!
Open seven days a week, the Drive In has been at the same location since it opened for business in 1955. They have a grill if you want lunch or dinner before the ice-cream!
This is the back entrance from the bike path. They have no indoor seating, but several picnic tables and long benches are available.

I put two cup wraps on my new Contigo Autoseal Hydration Bottle, filled it with iced water, and slipped it into my bicycle bottle holder. Meanwhile, Perry found his bike tire low with a cracked air valve. He pumped up the tire and wrapped black electrical tape around the valve. The fix lasted the entire ride!
When he was growing up in Wisconsin, Perry and his brother rode many miles on country roads and small town streets. In high school, they biked on city streets to deliver newspapers to 800 customers and then peddled to school!
Perry still mounts his bicycle the same way. He puts his left foot on the left pedal, places his hands on the handle bar, pushes the ground twice with his right foot, slings his right leg over the seat, and then pedals like Alberto Contador!
We rode on a city bike trail that follows the historical Trappers’ Trail, a 425-mile trail running north and south along the eastern base of the Rocky Mountains. It linked Fort Laramie (1834) in Wyoming and Bent’s Old Fort (1833) in Colorado. By the late 1850s, people traveling from the gold fields in the Rocky Mountains used the trail along with the trappers. They set up a wintering and supply station at the trail’s junction of Cherry Creek and South Platte River. This station grew to become the city of Denver!
We stopped biking a few minutes to watch a children’s baseball game. The Rocky Mountains are a beautiful back drop for the park on a beautiful sunny day in April!

Before filling my 24 ounce Contigo Autoseal Hydration Bottle, I slip a cup wrap onto the bottom. Next, I turn a second cup wrap upside down and slip it over the top. The bottle’s wide mouth is easy to fill with ice cubes and water. It’s dishwasher safe, made of BPA free plastic, and meets all FDA standards.
The water bottle is made of Tritan™ so it’s high-impact resistant, won’t stain, and doesn’t retain odors. My iced water tastes great from the first drink to the last!
The unique lid on the Contigo Autoseal is 100% spill proof. With one hand, I press the button on the lid to drink. Push the carabiner open to clip the water bottle to a backpack, tote bag, or belt loop. It’s available in several colors. Mine is lime green!

- The cup sleeve on the tumbler will hold in the heat longer, while brewing tea.
Using the Trudeau Tea-Riffic travel tumbler and insulated Kup Kollar is a great way for tea drinkers traveling the world in an RV to enjoy their brew.
Slip a washable Kup Kollar onto your double walled San plastic tumbler while waiting for the water to boil. Fill the tea infusion basket with loose tea or tea bags. The basket fits on the inside rim of the tumbler for brewing.
After brewing your tea, remove the infusion basket and put it in a small plastic bowl to cool.
After the infusion basket cools, empty the tea leaves or remove bags, then rinse the basket under the RV sink faucet.
Screw on the lid with slider for drinking, take the 16 ounce tumbler to the front of your RV, place in cup holder, and enjoy freshly brewed tea and the scenery!
