Easy Recipe For Making Candy Apples
Classic desserts never get old;
that's why they call it classics! Today, we suggest a great and easy recipe for
making Candy Apples. But not just any candy apples, but the kind you will
definitely want to enjoy with a fork and knife.
· six apples;
· half a dozen of skewers;
· pot;
· pastry brush;
· bowl for water and bowl for topping;
· a candy thermometer;
· baking sheet;
· half a cup of light corn syrup;
· a couple of cups of sugar;
· three quarters of a cup of water;
· toppings like toffee, chocolate chips, jelly bears, candy corn;
· (optional) food coloring of your choice;
First, make sure your toppings are
shredded into small bits so they will adhere to the apples nicely. Pout each
into a bowl and continue towards the next step. Apples should be speared by
skewers in the top part, where you'll usually find small leaves. Then, move
onto cooking the syrup with sugar and about a cup of water. This will require
medium to high heat and you stirring it until the sugar is dissolved. Afterward
you can bring it to a boil. Take the bowl with (warm) water and the pastry
brush soaked in it, because you aren't supposed to stir in the pot anymore, but
are advised to brush the sides of the pot in order to stop the forming of
crystals. To get a soft candy mixture, simmer it until the temperature hits 290
degrees Fahrenheit.
Now, take your apples by the skewers and dip them, one
at a time, completely into the candy. You could swirl your apples in the tilted
pot to make sure they are fully coated. Next, it's entirely up to you what
toppings you would like on your teeth-soaring apples. Dip each apple in a bowl
you prepared earlier. If there is any space left on a certain apple after you
dipped once, move onto another bowl of toppings and repeat the step. Feel free
to combine them in any way you think they might be more delicious or look better.
When done, place all apples on a baking sheet and transfer into the fridge. Bon
appetite!

Cute Hello Kitty House

You can see from the pictures that walls, carpets and sofas are also pink or have the shape of the beloved brand. The “Hello Kitty House” is a tourist attraction for all visitors. It’s not only that the bed or pillows and coasters have the Hello Kitty touch to them; it’s the approach of the designers. The whole concept doesn’t yell out kitsch. Choosing to use the brand in an indirect, suggestive manner instead of overwhelming the inhabitant with Hello Kitty eyes everywhere, the room is something which kids and teenagers alike want. Doesn’t it look great?
Tiny Floating Home
This small floating boathouse, was turned Karen Jenkins and her husband into a nice and cozy home, a place where a family of five enjoys full comfort. The house is almost 50 years old, and when they found it, it was in a bad shape. They bought it, and started searching for ideas of how to design this 220 square feet interior. One of the most challenging things was that the size of a boathouse is restricted to only one-story and they could not use up any more lake space. So after a thorough search, the family decided to make a loft out of the house, to make it look bigger. In order to make the house look like it has a lot of space they installed window dormers so they went up four feet and put in some windows. They also used the 4 foot porch. Some of the studs were damaged by water and thus they had to replace it and had to redo the pluming and electricity. Water and electricity are supplied by the marina and the family chose to use an incinerator toilet. This house is a great example of how to make a tiny space look both big and cozy. It is ideal for a family and also takes you closer to nature.
