duh welcome to Cafe Zoom today I'm going
to mix different ingredients with melted
butter to make really funky popcorn
our first recipe was sent in by Steve M
of Clark New Jersey it's called Taco
popcorn melt a half a stick of butter in
the microwave for about 45 seconds make
sure you use a microwave safe Bowl
because you can't have metal in the
microwave so you pour your butter on top
of the
popcorn
Siz and then you want to mix it
around and you kind of want to be
careful because popcorn could go all
over the
[Music]
place okay then you take some taco
seasoning and you sprinkle it on the
top you can use just a little bit of
taco seasoning if you don't want it to
be too spicy and a lot if you want it to
be really spicy I don't really like
spicy foods that much so I'll just put a
little I
like
[Music]
okay kind of I don't really eat tacos
that much but as far as I know it kind
of Tes tastes like
taco I like
it our next recipe was sent in by Lauren
e of Richardson Texas she calls it sugar
and spice
popcorn take your popcorn and your
melted butter and you put a little sugar
and cinnamon into the melted better you
want to put wo you want to put a little
more sugar than you do
cinnamon
[Music]
cinnamon put too much
cinnamon then you mix it around until
the sugar dissolves a
little okay you pour on top of the
popcorn stuff
uhoh I didn't mix too well
that's
okay let you Stir It
Up
[Music]
okay oh I like that it's very
sugary I like
sugar our last recipe was sent in by
Kathleen s of conquered Massachusetts
it's it's called Maple
popcorn mix maple syrup and melted
butter together put the maple syrup in
uhoh like that start it
around I like maple syrup too you pour
it on top of the
popcorn and mix it around of
course
okay I like this one a lot it tastes
like caramel
popcorn and now you're all set for night

container some
velro and some scissors you need to take
the end of the container off make sure
going up does that because it could be
really dangerous then you measure it

check Kayla M of South Yarmouth
Massachusetts wrote to tell us about the
time that she was given $9 to buy a CD
that she was really excited about but
instead of buying the CD she decided to
give the money to a charity to help buy
presents for other kids isn't that nice
that was nice I um I had I did like a
similar Thing Once um when I when I
saved up all my money and I was deciding
what to do with it I saw like um I guess
it was like a commercial and it was like
like showing all these poor kids in
those different countries like it just
like all of a sudden hit me I mean like
imagine just living like that with no
food like hardly any food and like
you're all cold I guess I don't know it
just seemed really bad so I went to my
local church and I put in like they have
this box which they send to those
countries and I put my money in there oh
that's really inter one time I went to a
nursing home and I like danced and we
made crafts and I thought that was
really nice cuz all people like felt
that they were you know loved there was
this workshop and we built um a bench
for the nursing home cuz they they had
these well it was a a bench and then a
coffee table cuz they had crates for the
co for the so they can drink their
coffee so we built and then then we
painted it and all nice that's nice well
speaking of um NY homes every other
Tuesday I ever a day and my drama
program has a another program called the
outreach program where he goes like to
other people and we went to like um a
nursing home and um we spent our time
there like our half day you know cuz
half days we usually get out early but
we spent our time and went there and
made the the people happy and they
always loved to see us it was really fun
that's really nice it's nice to make
people feel happy it makes you feel
happy it makes me feel good yeah I
remember one time I was on a bus and
there was a kid sitting there and he was
sitting all alone he was crying and I
felt really bad and I had no clue who he
was but I went up to him and I put my
hand on his shoulder and I was like hey
are you okay and he was like and I was
like do you need anything he was like I
was like well if you have anything to
say you can just come up to me anytime
tell me he goes okay and you got all
help so nice sometimes when you do stuff
that makes people happy it just feels
good inside you you just feel like
you've done something out of or
you feel like you feel like generous and
nice and just makes you feel better
really
good here's a Zinger from Ma and Marion
of shb New Jersey Kay so if this is how
this works first make a fist with the
hand that you don't write
with then move your index finger out in
up in and
keep doing this then with the other hand
that you write with mhm write your name
okay and see what
happens got to keep moving your
finger that's hard I'm going to try it
now
okay
see out and
up back
I can only do one or the
[Music]
other
[Music]
okay it's like you can't control
yourself almost
there whoa
y it looks a little bit was so cool yeah
I thought I be a I want to see how fast
I can do it I can't do it fast cuz I
can't continue this
[Music]
motion
zoomo okay on your mark get set get set
go
go woohoo oh look that's awesome that's
is
cool Sarah G of St Louis Missouri sent
us instructions to make this really cool
canned car here's what you'll need a
coffee can two coffee can Lids rubber
bands masking tape a bead
pencil paper clips and liquid
soap the first thing you need to do is
take your coffee if you can and cut off
both ends so you can stick your arm
through But be sure you ask an adult for
help because the edge might be
sharp okay okay then you punch a hole
through both both the coffee can Lids
large enough so that a rubber band can
fit through okay okay should be it then
you take one of your lids and a rubber
band I think I'll take
rubber band and just stick the rubber
band through the hole like
this and then you take a paper
clip and you sort
of wrap it
around the paper clip like
this just it's kind of hard just wrap it
around twice okay so it looks like
this okay then take a piece of tape
and just secure it in its place by
putting it over the paper
clip
okay then what you would do is you would
put the lid
on tight take your rubber
band
and this is hard
here oh
okay then you take your
beads and it's hard can you hold it yep
okay then you take your beads you put it
through so you you put it through the
rubber band so that the bead is on the
outside of the rubber band hold
that it's really hard so I think we'll
just like take a paper clip and unfold
it like this right one this is
fine kind of like stick it
through
on okay you put the rubber be on top of
the pap and pull it through after you
put your beads through take your pencil
and slip it in the
loop so it looks like
this but you're not done
yet then you take some liquid soap and
just put them on the edge and kind of
spread it around the end this is so when
the pencil is spinning it cuts down
friction and it makes the pencil turn
faster it's okay just like kind
of
okay this aside all right now you wind
you want to keep winding it until don't
wind it too much because the rubber band
might
snap I think that's about enough okay I
have the first can and I've got the one
we just built okay on your mark get set
go
yes yeah good
job good go you twoo thanks what do you
think we can do to make it go faster
maybe we can change one variable
like well maybe using a bigger sized
can yeah because then it' be it it' go
faster
yeah and you know how it takes turns
it'll take a bigger turn and it'll go
faster and even farther that's awesome
that's a great idea thanks okay well
let's go build
[Music]
it Linda G of Franklin Massachusetts
nominated Timothy and Brian G for
today's Zuma Cady on their walk to
school Timothy and Brian noticed a lot
of trash instead of just looking looking
at it every day they decided to clean it
up they hope that more kids do the same
to keep our environment clean excellent
job Timothy and Brian you'll be
receiving your Zuma cumla certificate in

here's the second can and here's Big
Billy Bubba the big can okay you ready
okay on markk get set
go oh when the middle can is in the
lead the middle the middle can was fast
I think the big can was slower than all
them
yeah now it's time for you to experiment

size rubber band test it out be sure to

happen and what actually happened and
