As the crazy patrons chuckle maniacally just outside my office door, I close my eyes and enjoy another taste of heaven.
Vietnamese Coffee Jello (adapted from That Winsome Girl's recipe)
2 packages unflavored gelatin
1/2 c. water
2 c. strong coffee
1 can (14 oz.) condensed milk
Mix the 2 packages of unflavored gelatin in a bowl with the 1/2 c. water. Let this sit while you brew 2 c. of strong coffee. My favorite has been with 2 c. of espresso, but the french press also works well (with 8 T. coffee per 2 c. water). Mix the hot coffee with the gelatin until it is completely dissolved. Add in the can of condensed milk and mix well. Refrigerate.

Mmmm, looks good!! When are you going to come visit us? You could use state travel funds and say that you're going to check out other states' library programs. :-D
