I was thinking, for a while, that I wouldn't get around to doing this week's theme on you capture. But, I finally got around to lowering my old, weary, aching bones down to the floor. Birthdays always make you feel decrepit, don't they? Anyhow, this is what I found.
Actually, that makes it seem accidental, when really I thought carefully about the photo for almost five days before I got around to taking it. I've been on this sewing/quilting kick lately, so a close up of the treadle on my granny's old sewing machine seemed like just the thing. I'm trying to focus on appreciating the machines that I have in my house, instead of the idea of buying an old one that I found while thrifting this weekend. . .

The Breakfast of Champions
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.

I want to play along too
It took several weeks before I decided to jump on the blogging bandwagon. . . and what it really comes down to. . . is my desire to have an assignment, a reason to take more photos.
And, fortunately for me, I found it.
This week. . . . water. I moved into my first home this winter, and was surprised and delighted to find out that it came with a Mimosa tree. My favorite. It's even more my favorite in the rain. . .
