Melody's Musings

Stuff that catches my fancy and random, sorted thoughts from the inner scrambles of my mind.

What you may expect to find here are what I consider good taste and some of the best in photography, philosophy, humor, art, architecture, food, music, poetry, literature and dance. I hope you like some of the things I enjoy.

I like anything to do with good design such as interior design, architecture, photography, and art. I enjoy philosophy and psychology. I love to figure out what makes individuals tick. Music of most all types but particularly classical, world, pop, acoustic guitar is a big part of my life and add some dance to the music and my day is great! I like to write and occasionally I will write poetry and I really love to read it out loud and I even record it sometimes.

I'm a Myers-Briggs type ENFJ which means I love people and have a great interest in them.

I guess you could say I'm a humanities kind of person. :)

    Enrique Luis Sardi’s Edible Coffee Cup Lets You Have Your Espresso and Eat It Too

    Tired of paying extra when you want a sweet treat to accompany your morning shot of espresso? Wish there was a way to avoid the waste of a paper coffee cup without having to lug your own mug? Venezuelan designer Enrique Luis Sardi feels your pain. Working with Italian coffee company Lavazza, Sardi conjured up a way to combine the cookie and coffee cup to create a portable vessel that you can gobble when the drink is gone.

    Apparently, the edible coffee cup tastes like a cross between a ice cream cone and a biscotti. The inside of the cup is covered with a special icing sugar that works as an insulator making the cup waterproof while sweetening the espresso at the same time. Besides being delicious, the cup eliminates paper waste and helps reduce water consumption — no washing required!

    Although this “sip the coffee then eat the cup” is very simple, it’s awfully brilliant. No word from Lavazza yet on price or availability, but the company claims its edible coffee cup has already collected hundreds of awards in ecology, marketing, business strategy and design sectors.
