Cookie Cup is made of pastry but covered with a special waterproof icing. After you drink your brew you eat the cup, feed it to the birds, or toss it because it’ll simply biodegrade – no waste. I’m not sure if the Cookie Cup is on the market yet and I’m wondering if you could make an organic homemade form for parties. I looked around and found a recipe for cookie cups, but to make them drink ready you’d need to shape them better plus add an inner glaze of sorts.

Still, on the market or not, it’s a pretty swell green idea. Especially if they come out with a chocolate version!

Edible Coffee Cookie Cup

Well, I usually ignore tags. It’s nothing personal against the person sending, but this time I decided to do it. One reason is because this is a tag I haven’t seen before. The other reason is that the stuff on page 123 of my book deals with a favorite topic of mine. And I just happen to have a contest on this delicious topic going on right now at another blog.

Heather at A Creative Journal tagged me with the 123 Book Tag.

Here’s how the 123 Book Tag works:

Pick up the nearest book of at least 123 pages.
Open the book to page 123.
Find the fifth sentence.
Post the next three sentences.
Tag five people.

The book I picked up is Big Green Purse by Diane MacEachern.

Here are the sentences on page 123:

Alta Gracia (author Julia Alvarez’s coffee farm), Dominican Republic, 802-453-2776, www.cafealtagracia.com

Arbuckle Coffee Roasters, Tucson, Arizona, 800-533-8278, www.arbucklecoffee.com

The Art of Coffee, La Jolla, California, 800-570-9010, www.theartofcoffee.com

What’s all that? Am I reading a book that just lists coffee places? Nope, but I’m guessing such a book could be written. Big Green Purse is about spending your dollars on products that make a difference for the environment. In other words, harnessing your spending power for good. And page 123 just happened to be about green coffee options. The coffees above are triple certified: organic, shade grown and fairly traded. They are available by mail order.

And that’s just special since we’re having a coffee contest at Tree Hugging Family. To enter, go to the contest post before midnight on April 21 and leave a comment. You might win a pound of Zabar’s Rainforest Alliance coffee.

Now, the evil spreads. I’m tagging:

Jul at Veggie Chic

Marcie at A Child Chosen

Collin at Tool Belt Tips

Trench at My Crime Space

And Cory and Kerri at Marriage Actually

Poor tagged bloggers: You can ignore it if you want, but at least I gave you a free link.

Happy Saturday.
