Welcome to How To Cook That I'm Ann Reardon , we have a fun-packed video for you today.
I'll show you how to make carbonated fruit, we'll explode some stuff and reveal the name
of the bad guy in the book.
First of all, to make carbonated fizzy fruit place some chilled fruit in an esky.
And you can experiment with any fruit but we found smaller ones like grapes worked the
best.
Also carbonating them makes them taste a little less sweet so use fruit that is super ripe
and at its sweetest.
Add some dry ice all around the fruit, but make sure it is not touching the fruit or
it will freeze it, and the bigger your esky is the more dry ice you should use.
When dry ice is heated like when we put it in warm water here it'll turn straight into
a gas and it skips the liquid stage unless it's under high pressure.
And that gas it's giving off is carbon dioxide and that's the same gas that you're breathing
out everytime you breathe out all day long and it's also what the bubbles in fizzy drinks
are made of.
Put the lid on the esky and wrap the whole thing tightly in lots of layers of plastic
wrap.
And this will just slow down the escape of the gasses.
But you do not want to use an airtight container for this because if you do when the dry ice
turns into gas it will be completely trapped in the container and eventually ...
Let's do that again...
Seriously though do not do this at home because you can get nasty injuries from flying debris.
I'll link you to a Reardon Bros video at the end of this one with 10 other safe dry ice
experiments that you can do.
Now after about 12 hours, take off that plastic wrap and remove the lid.
And the dry ice is gone because it's turned into a gas and the fruit looks the same.
But when you eat it...
Mmm, that is so cool!
That is so awesome.
It's like a berry but like all fizzy.
Pretty epic.
Did you put fizzy inside here?
Super cool, can I have more?
For best results make sure you serve these within ten few minutes of opening your esky.
Merry Christmas
Now I promised all of you who had suggested bad guy names and you were wanting to know
which one got chosen for the novel, that I would bring Dave in and get him to decide
by Christmas Day.
So here he is.
Hi.
Have you decided?
Yes, yes I have decided but before we get to that, there's a bunch of names that I decided
the bad guy name definitely is not.
Stabby Stab McStab Zayn Malik
Doctor Buttface Dr Evil.
Dr Evil, he sounds bad.
Name's taken though.
Count Chocula.
Susan.
Suuusan Sir Dastardly
Oh I love this next one Yeah I like this too, this was Nife Tamiitcha,
Japanesey, Nife Tamiitcha.
Okay so we know what the bad guy's name is not going to be, now last week you were down
to about 20 names.
I got it down from about 10,000 suggestions, literally, down to about 20 and now I'm on
4.
So they are Jasper Remington Oculus Finch
Johnathan Butcher Dominic Malum
Okay so what I'm going to do is I've actually decided to put all four names in the book,
I thought they were fantastic and very creative.
One of them is going to be the knife-wielding bad guy, but I'm not going to tell you which
one because it will give too much away and then when you read it you'll already know.
So one of them is going to be the bad guy, one of them is going to be like a person of
dubious intent.
Isn't that a bad guy?
No, definitely like dubious.
A dubious guy.
What are the other two going to be?
Like a teacher and the name of a boat or something.
I haven't figured it out to be honest but they're just good names so they're going in.
So all four people will have their name written in the back of the novel.
All four people, there's sexygummibear, there'll be emmalicious.
We'll contact you and try to get your proper name if you prefer and so we'll put that in
the end of the book and your bad guy's name will be incorporated through.
So well done, congratulations and thankyou to all the people who put in wonderful suggestions,
it was really very entertaining reading all of the names that were put in.
Now to catch you up if you don't know what we're doing here, we have been in the process,
well Dave has been in the process of, writing a novel and we're getting you guys involved.
And you get to decide, it's a bit like choose your own adventure except that it's a write
your own book.
So you get to decide some key things in the book, so what we need to know now is what
is the next question?
So the book is set in 1942 in Australia, so it's World War 2, it's a time of heaps of
danger, action and lots of romance as well.
And it's just a fantastic sort of era.
We have three main characters, two of them are based in Australia and one them, you guys
voted and decided that he'd be from the USA.
That character first sees, catches a glimpse, of our beautiful heroine Micki and she is
at a cinema at night and there they are, catch a glimpse, and so my question is what movie
was showing on the big screen, knowing the era, you're going to have to maybe do a bit
of research.
What movie is showing on the big screen when they first catch each other's eye.
I want to know what sort of style Micki has, so you could draw a picture of what she likes
to wear, how she does her hair, what sort of style she has or you can just describe
in the comments and so that we can get the sort of picture of who this girl is.
Yeah, she's pretty cool and pretty gutsy.
Hmmm, so cool and gutsy.
What's her style.
Well thankyou so much, we hope that you've enjoyed this video.
