will need before you start we will use
three bowls
and a measuring cup check
a fork and a stirring spoon fork
check a set of measuring spoons
a rolling pin
some wax paper and a flat cookie sheet
check

huh
remember always ask a big person to help
you when you need something on a high
shelf yo
now she tells me
we'll also use a cookie cutter
and the clock
why o'clock tenderheart so we know when
our cookies are done
oh yes don't forget your oven mitts
well does everyone have their equipment
ready
ready
good begin by measuring a half cup or
100 milliliters of butter that's the
same as a quarter pound but we have half
a pound tenderheart let's cut it in two
and put one half back in the fridge
now we have a quarter pound hmm
put your butter in the biggest bowl then
add a half cup or 100 milliliters of
brown sugar loosely packed
use your fork to make a paste
hold your bowl with one hand so that it
doesn't slip no she tells me next add
one quarter cup or 50 milliliters of
black strap molasses be careful when
pouring molasses it's very sticky
tender heart look the molasses made the
batter really dark my doesn't that look
wonderful
one egg goes in next
oh
lucky for me i've been uh saving this
dinosaur egg tap your egg gently with a
spoon
break the egg into the small bowl and
then check the bowl for broken eggshell
now add your egg to your batter
and mix well
now in the medium bowl add together your
dry ingredients
two and a half cups or 500 milliliters
of flour
one quarter teaspoon or one milliliter
of baking soda
and last
what gives gingerbread that warm special
taste
i know spices
if you said spices you're right
combine one rounded tablespoon or about
20 milliliters of cinnamon ginger and
ground cloves
cinnamon ginger and cloves
that's what i said
we put these spices into the flour and
baking soda no
but all no heart has is
pickled bat gizzards snake knees
spiders eyebrows
now we'll put the dry ingredients into
the wet ingredients
then mix everything thoroughly
you are now ready to refrigerate your
batter cover the bowl first and put it
in the fridge for one hour or the
freezer for 15 minutes
or the deep deep freeze for 12 seconds

television we've advanced time 15
minutes

now comes the part your big friend or
parent will do
never use a stove or an oven by yourself
okay grams
turn on the oven to 350 degrees
fahrenheit that's 175 degrees centigrade
now we place a ball of dough between two
pieces of waxed paper and roll the dough
out so that it is one-eighth of an inch
or one-third of a centimeter thick
that looks just about right now for the
part i like best use your favorite
cookie cutter
and cut out as many gingerbread cookies
as you can
then grease a cookie sheet with a little
butter and lay each cutout cookie on the
sheet

simple as the sandwich was first created
back in the days of old england the earl
of sandwich was playing the latest board
game with some of his friends i say
pardon me while i gather us some
nourishment
oh that girl
he's an absolute genius in the kitchen
oh
honey

the uh g*ng and i are uh a bit hungry
and uh and you want me to fix something
up right
well i
oh all right you're so helpless in the
kitchen earl
now let's see what we can whip up
how about a couple of slices of bread
some butter
a bit of lettuce yes that sounds right
some sausage
maybe oh what are you making i'm not
sure
some tomatoes
a bit of mayonnaise
pickle and that's it
what is it
well it's a it's a
it's a sandwich oh

or is it quiche
okay grumpy
what do you think our little cave person
is painting
maybe it's one of those huge wild
animals he and his fellow cave persons
hunted for food
tenderheart
that's a barbecue he painted a barbecue
for a moment there i thought that this
was a serious educational program
now that was ridiculous
hi kids it's me braveheart lion in a
peanut suit
hope i don't get sued anyways the reason
i'm wearing this here peanut disguise is
cause i'm gonna sing thee all about how
to make peanut butter balls
pretty cute idea huh
now peanut butter balls or pb balls as
us aficionados like to call them
taste mighty good and they're mighty
good for you too
well i think that's about enough tuning
so let's get down the business
oh
four pb balls four pb balls this is what
you do
get a big bowl yes a big bowl and a
measuring cup too
you need granola and brown sugar and
some skim milk powder too
raisin sesame seeds or dried coconut and
of course the pv2 take one cup granola
that's 250 milliliters and you put it in
the bowl
add the same amount of skim milk powder
and put it in there too
then get your raisins and brown sugar
measure half a cup of each that's 125
milliliters for you metric folk
and then you dump them in the bowl and
then in with your hands you reach i mix
them all up mix them all up so it all
looks just the same
when it looks like chunky white stuff
you know you've mixed it up enough bet
you'd never guess i'm just making this
song up as i go along huh how does he do
it
take the peanut take the peanut take the
peanut butter out
fill two cups that's 500 milliliters
they'll have fun trying to get it out
and then you dump it then you dump it
then you dump it in the bowl and then
you mix it with the white stuff how much
annuities your goal that means you mix
it till it all looks the same
and then you roll a mint ball is about
one inch in diameter that's 2.5
centimeters about the size of a
ping-pong ball and then you're ola and
sesame seeds are in toasted coconuts
put em in the refrigerator
now you have your pee bee balls
so yeah
well there you go partners now you know
how to make them
of course they don't really have those
cute little faces on them
here's our prehistoric person in his
daily search for food
i see his decided to go vegetarian today
ah yes
potatoes
a wise choice
full of vitamins and minerals and
i think he's got something there
ah
