Heiiiidiiiii.

>> Why hello there.

My name is Leo D. Cook and welcome to "Masterpieces of Children Literature in Less Than a Minute."

Today, I will be telling you all about a novel "Heiiiidi" by Johanna Spyri.

I bet you when this one is over, you won't forget the title.

Now, this story takes place in the Swiss Alps where an orphaned girl named -- you guessed it -- Heiiiidiiiii is sent away to live with her grandfather.

Now, her granddad is a grumpy hermit who does not have any friends and lives alone.

In the beginning, he's a bit a Swiss cheesed off about you know who, but soon is won over by his granddaughter's intelligence and sunny personality.

Later on, Heiiiiidiii becomes friends with a goat herder named Pete, along with Pete's mom, Brigitte.

Briiiiigiiiiiitte.

Later on, our heroine is sent away to help care for a rich girl, but she's also sick.

And this girl is named Claaaaara.

Now Clara is charmed by her new companion's friendliness and her stories of life in the Swiss mountains.

Eventually Heiiiiiidiiii becomes homesick and is sent home to get better.

She is then reunited with her granddad again and helps him change his ways.

I skipped over a bunch of great stuff.

So if you want to know more about Heiiiiidiiii by Johanna Spyri, I suggest you read it yourself.

You will be glad you did.

I'm Leo Heiiiiiidiiii Cook, and I will see you next time on "Masterpieces of Children's Literature in Less Than a Minute."

♪ >> Hello, my name is Sam Bartlett, and I'm going to show you a stunt today from the world of stuntology.

This is a great stunt.

And I know I always say that, but I really mean it this time.

This is the squirting straw maneuver.

It involves some water, scissors, straw, towel, if you are a nice person.

First of all, let's do it.

Hey, Mark, come over here.

I want to show you something.

All right.

Watch this.

This is crazy.

>> Hey!

>> Isn't that annoying?

Well, I will show you how to make one of these things.

Take a straw.

Take a pair of scissors.

Cut a small hole in the straw, but don't let anybody know.

Then put it in your pocket, go over to somebody's house.

Put your finger over the hole in the straw.

So you are just drinking.

Hey, watch me drink.

There's nothing wrong with the straw, gulp, gulp, gulp.

Then at the right moment, you are going to suck water into straw, pinch the straw, remove your finger from the hole, and then blow.

It has to happen fast or it won't work because you can't hold water in a straw very easily.

So ready?

One, two, three.

I love this trick!

Thank you.

Claire is 9 years old.

She plays for the Indy Fusion team.

Claire, how long have you been playing hockey?

>> Like, five or six years now.

>> Great.

And what do you like most about hockey?

>> Um, it's more about the fun than anything else, really.

It's just a fun sport to play with all my friends.

>> So we have all of this gear here.

Can you show me how to put this on, and what it's used for?

>> Okay.

This is the belt, which you strap around like this.

And these little clasps old your socks up.

Next is the shin guards.

There are two of them.

>> And what do these help do?

>> They protect you if a puck comes and it hits your shins.

Next are your socks.

Next, we put on the pants.

The next thing is your shoulder pads, where you just put them over your head, and then you take the velcro and fasten it on the torso.

These are the elbow guards, and you put them on your elbows.

Next is the jersey.

We're ready to start learning how to play hockey.

Claire, what's the first move you want to show me?

>> Stickhandling is -- it's basically the hockey equivalent of dribbling.

>> Okay.

>> The next thing we are going to learn is how to pass.

So you take your body and extend your arms a little bit back.

>> All right.

Let's see.

>> Nice job.

>> That was good?

There we go.

Would you like to come and try on the net?

>> Yeah!

Let's try that!

>> Basically the same as passing, except you draw back more and shoot!

>> Cool!

I wanna try.

>> Yeah.

Come on.

>> So draw back, and shoot!

>> Nice job!

>> All right.

Claire, thank you so much for teaching me how to play hockey.

We are here with your sister Mary.

How about you guys show us how it's really done.

>> Okay.

♪ >> Claire, thank you so much for teaching me how to play hockey today.

>> You're welcome.

>> And, kids at home, check to see if you have an ice skating rink in your area, and maybe you can try hockey too.

♪ ♪ In the "Friday Zone" Friday ♪ >> Our friends are here to show us how to make a fan out of a paper plate.

We're going to need a paper plate, some paint and paint brushes, jumbo craft sticks, a pair of scissors, and glue.

First, cut your paper plate in half.

What can you do with the other half?

Give it to a friend so they can make a fan of their own.

Now you can both use the paint to decorate your paper plate halves.

When that dries, glue your craft sticks into a wide V shape to form the fan's handle.

Finally, glue your handle to the bottom of your painted fan.

Now you and a friend have an easy do-it-yourself fan to keep cool this summer.

♪ In the "Friday Zone" Friday ♪ >> It's time to check out what's next in the "Friday Zone"!

♪ >> It smells amazing!

♪ It looks amazing!

Meet Gretchen, the woman behind it all.

She has a culinary degree and owns her own business.

She spends countless hours learning her craft and sharing her love of chocolate.

♪ >> Gretchen, this place is amazing!

How did you first become inspired to work with chocolate?

>> My wonderful grandmother inspired me.

I used to cook alongside her in the kitchen, and she was the one who inspired me.

>> My grandma inspires me too.

>> Now it's your turn to try chocolate making.

>> Ah!

>> Come with me.

>> Let's do it!

♪ >> Here we are!

We're in the kitchen.

>> Well, I'm halfway there.

I got my coat on.

My got my chef's hat, and look at this kitchen.

I see whisks, bowls.

I mean, it's everything that's at my kitchen at home, except for this thing.

What does this machine do?

>> This is the tempering machine.

>> Tempering?

Like, you are in a bad mood?

>> So tempering is a process of heating the chocolate, and then cooling it while agitating it to create the perfect crystalline structure.

>> There is a lot of science that goes into making chocolate.

Chocolate is a polymorph, which means it takes on different shapes when it goes from a liquid to a solid.

There are six different ways it can crystallize, depending on its temperature.

But this is no easy task.

If it's not heated enough, the chocolate will be crumbly and melt easily.

If it's heated too much, it will be too hard and white spots will appear on the surface.

Chocolatiers must be precise in order to make the perfect chocolate.

Gretchen, what makes the perfect chocolate?

>> The perfect chocolate is one that has a beautiful shine.

It breaks cleanly.

So it has a nice snap.

And a taste that you will never forget.

>> Now that we know what we are looking for, it's time to try my hand at making some of these gourmet chocolates.

>> Let's make lollipops!

>> Awesome!

>> Are you ready?

>> Yeah, show me how.

>> All right.

So first twist this so the chocolate doesn't explode out the end.

>> Okay.

Okay.

>> And then we're going to snip off a small tip.

It's going to ooze out very quickly.

>> Okay.

>> So you want to aim it pretty quick.

>> Okay.

>> And fill in the entire cavity.

And when you are done, lift straight up.

>> Oh, okay.

All right.

How did you learn to become such an amazing chocolatier?

>> Well, I love science and I love art, but I had always had a lifelong dream of going to culinary school.

>> Oh, wow.

>> So I went to the Cordon Bleu in Seattle, and it was there that an instructor taught me a little bit about chocolate making, and I fell in love.

And so then I interned with a chocolatier in Tacoma, Washington.

>> Mm-hmm.

>> And I got pretty good there, but then I continued my education online and in Chicago and Montreal.

>> Wow, you moved around quite a lot.

>> I did.

It took a lot of trial and error.

>> Is that a skill you need to be a chocolatier?

>> Yes, you have to be patient and be okay with messing up over and over and over again.

But I also get to use my artistic skills and my love of science.

>> Practice makes perfect, hmm?

>> Exactly.

>> So now we have to tap them.

>> Okay.

♪ >> So then you take the mold and you tap out the air bubbles.

>> Oh, my gosh!

>> And it smooths out the surface.

>> Woo!

That makes it look like I didn't completely mess that up.

>> Then we take these -- >> Okay.

>> -- lollipop sticks.

>> Okay.

>> Stick it in.

>> Do you have to push it?

>> Give it a little twist.

>> You have to do this very quick.

>> Yes.

The chocolate is constantly wanting to set up.

>> Gretchen, how do you spend all day around this much chocolate?

>> Because I'm around it all day and because I have to taste a little bit every time I make something, just to ensure that the quality is perfect, I have no desire for chocolate.

>> What?

>> I do not crave chocolate.

>> Are you kidding?

>> No.

>> How is that possible?

>> I have to sample it a little bit every time I make something new.

And sometimes I even spit it out.

>> You spit it out?

Austin doesn't spit it out.

>> While Austin gets cleaned up, and our lollipops harden in the cooling cabinet, an aspiring chocolatier is going to show us how to make ganache.

>> Hi, River.

>> Hi.

>> You are this chocolatier I have been hearing all about.

So we are going to be making some ganache today?

>> Yes.

>> Can you show me how to do it?

♪ Ganache is a chocolatier's staple.

It's kind of like frosting.

It can be used as a filling, a dip, or even a layer in a cake.

Its ingredients are chocolate, warm cream.

>> Butter.

Then we put the vanilla in.

>> Mix it all together, and you are done!

River, how did you get so good at this?

>> Momma taught me.

>> Your mom taught you how to make chocolate?

Do you think you want to be a chocolatier when you grow up?

Usually for this recipe, the ganache would have to sit overnight.

Luckily for us, Gretchen took care of that step.

>> Hi, Jen.

This is the ganache we made yesterday.

>> Hey!

Who are you?

>> I'm Desi.

>> Oh, hi, Desi.

>> Hi.

>> So you are going to help us finish this off?

>> Mm-hmm.

>> What do we do next?

>> So we scoop .

3 of nuts, and then we roll it and put a cherry in the middle.

>> Okay.

>> Desi is River's sister, and she's aspiring to be a chocolatier, just like their mom, even if it is a little messy.

>> Oooh, chocolate's getting everywhere!

Ahhh!

♪ >> Chocolatiers can make hundreds of different chocolates a day.

So it's important to never stop creating and making new delicious recipes.

>> River, you know, no big deal, but there is a blob of chocolate in your hair.

It might be my fault.

>> I don't care!

>> Okay.

I like that.

I like that.

[ Laughter ] >> Now it's time to dip the ganache balls in what else... more chocolate!

>> Let's see who can make the longest string.

Oh, come on.

I'm winning!

Oh, that looks really good!

I'm learning that there's a lot of technique involved in making chocolate, and that getting good at it takes a lot of practice.

The last step for this chocolate is making them look pretty with this shimmery powder called luster dust.

So we're all done?

>> Yes.

>> Yes.

>> Can we eat one now?

>> Yes.

>> Yes.

>> Okay, awesome!

I want this one.

Did you pick one?

>> This one.

>> That one looks perfect!

>> Okay.

Cheers!

>> Cheers!

Oh, my God, it's so good.

It's so good!

Thank you so much, girls.

I learned a lot!

Can I leave you guys with this?

You are going to finish these off?

>> No.

>> No.

>>> Now that our chocolates have hardened in their molds, it's time to pop 'em out.

>> Beautiful!

>> Woo!

I didn't do too bad.

A little bit out of the lines, but -- >> Nice and shiny.

>> All right.

>> Beautiful.

>> We did a lot of work today.

>> Yeah.

>> Nice job.

And I have a little something for you, for all of your hard work.

>> Really?

Awesome!

Gretchen, thank you so much for showing us everything that goes into being a chocolatier?

>> You are welcome.

>> Ah!

Now that we know all of the science, skill and creativity that goes into making you little guys, I'm saving you for later.
