Being Bored

Waiting is horrible..but my son texted me and said they went to the hospital and she is definitely staying. The baby will be born today. she is almost 4 centimeters. I have to wait till this afternoon to go shopping..cause my daughter in law is waiting for the mail..LOL....So any how I decided to share some other pictures of my tiny little flat...I had decided to change my table cloth..and I like this dark color..

Blue and more blue..my brother found these old table cloths at a job he was doing for a friend. there were three designs and they are in great shape..I think they are from like the 70's era...the other two are lighter in color. I also changed the things on my buffet..I put this tiny tea set and removed the lazy susan.

I added a doily that I had made though you can't see but the edges of it. The tea set went with everything because it has two different blues and a green tea cup..I love to change my things when I can..

two of my favorite Victoria Magazines because they are about blue and white..which by now you know that I love alot.

Here is a new black iron piece that I had found, I had these little blue cups they fit just fine till I locate my candle cups..I love black iron. I had a pretty wire basket that I gave to my daughter in law. and she gave me a beautiful blue and white huge bowl on a pedestal it's in the picture on the table..I couldn't believe it because I had admired it when we were packing to move them. Then on Sunday family dinner rite after she brought it to me... So sweet...Thank you...

blue and blue and blue...

• Confectioners' sugar
• 3 1/2 envelopes unflavored gelatin
• 1/2 cup cold orange juice, freshly squeezed
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup light corn syrup
• 1/2 cup hot water
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 large egg whites
• grated zest of 1 large organic orange
• 2 teaspoons Grand Marnier

1.  Oil the bottom and sides of a 9-by-9-inch baking pan; dust the bottom and sides of the pan with powdered sugar
2.  In the bowl of a standing electric mixer, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold orange juice; set aside to soften.
3.  In a 3-quart heavy saucepan combine the sugar, corn syrup, hot water, and salt over low heat, stirring with a wooden until the sugar is dissolved.  Increase the heat to medium-high and boil mixture, without shirring, until the mixture registers 240˚F on a candy thermometer.  Remove pan from the heat quickly and immediately pour into the gelatin, stirring until the gelatin is dissolved.
4.  Using the stand mixer, beat on high speed until very thick and nearly tripled in volunme.  In another bowl, with a hand mixer or whisk, beat the egg whites until they just hold stiff peaks.  Slowly beat the white, the orange zest and the Grand Marnier into the sugar mixture until just combined.  Pour the mixture into the baking pan as quickly as possible.  The marshmallow mixture begins setting up immediately.  Smooth the top and dust with Confectioners' sugar.  Place a piece of wax paper over, but not touching the marshmallow mixture, and refrigerate until firm, about 3 hours. 
5.  Run a thin knife around the edges of the pan and invert.  Place a thin metal spatula between the marshmallow and the pan to gently pull the marshmallow out onto a Confectioners' sugar dusted chopping board.  Using a large, sharp knife, cut the marshmallow into 6 strips.  Cut each strip into 6 cubes, dusting with more Confectioners' sugar along the way.  Store the marshmallows in a tin.
