I have broken so much! I finally went to a second hand store & bought a rocks glass that is perfect for wine & vodka. $1.00. No worries. Things break, it’s life. I laughed at you finding forks in your burn pile. Maybe our hubs were separated at birth ; )

Kindred spirits maybe, even if not related by blood. LOL

In our household, the solution to breakable, everyday glasses is using the ones from fast-food places.

When the first Tolkien movie came out, one of the fast-food places was offering glasses that had a little battery-operated gizmo that clipped onto the end of the glass, and lighted-up the contents. We've never used that part, but my hubby has drunk his wine in those glasses ever since - they're very heavy glass, and sort of 'goblet-like'.

Around the same time, another fast-food place was offering Disney-themed glasses that were short and stout - and I drink beer and soda from them. They are also very thick, heavy glass.

We got four of each, for free; and these things have gone through the dishwasher zillions of times, have never broken, and they're fun.

(I've got to find those little light-up bits that we never used; they'd be fun for kids, and I think they actually had replaceable batteries.)
