Ro: Hey guys it's Ro, welcome to another Nerdy Nummies!
Ro: Today I have a special guest: Michael from VSauce!
Michael: Hello Ro, I am so excited to be here!
Ro: I'm excited that you're here because now I've had all of the Vsauce's on Nerdy Nummies!
Michael: Vsauce1, Vsauce2, Vsauce3- Hat trick!
Ro: Beep-beep!
Ro: So today we're gonna be making Super Mario World Veggie Fire Flowers!
Michael: It's a mouthful!
Ro: Yeah it is, haha!
Michael: And it will be literally when we make them and eat them!
Ro: Yesss, cute little veggie-appetizers, they're so cute!
Ro: All right, are ready?
Michael: I'm ready!
Both: Let's get started!
Ro: To make The Veggie Fire Flowers the things you will need will be some regular toothpicks,
Ro: a square cookie cutter, a tear-shaped cookie cutter, a baby loaf of "chedda" cheese- I'm
Ro: using Tillamook because I love cheese from Oregon!
Michael: Is that all we need?
Ro: Oh, we'll also need:
Michael: That's right, you'll also need a cutting board and everything on the cutting board-
Ro: Mmmm-hmmm!
Michael: A carrot, a cucumber, a nice knife that is safe!
Ro: Mmm-hmm, and sharp!
Michael: And sharp! Sharp knives are safer than blunt knives, and a peeler for peeling the veggies!
Michael: You'll also need a healthy sense of adventure and a willingness to have a little fun.
Michael: You know...Ro, this looks great but I'm from the channel "Vsauce" aaaaand...I don't see
Michael: any sauces around here!
Ro: You are right! Sooo to spice this episode up... did ya like that? Hahaha!
Michael: I did because it's a "Fire Flower", it should be spicy! It should be on fire!
Ro: We can make a spicy veggie-dip to go with these little veggies.
Michael: Now we're talkin'!
Ro: Now let's put it all together!
Michael: OK! So Ro, what do we do first?
Ro: First thing that we're gonna do is peel the carrot.
Michael: I'm gonna peel the carrot!
Ro: Do you know how to do this? Yeah!
Michael: Yeah! You just run this over it right? Ro: I'm puttin' him to work!
Michael: Like- starting from...look at that! Mmmm!
Ro: The top, go down... Look at there... Michael: That is great.
Michael: Now, what do you do with these carrot shavings? Do they have any use?
Ro: No, I sometimes just...like- I'll put 'em in my hair as a carrot-extensions...
Ro: People do it for Earth Day, it's pretty cool!
Ro: So beautiful... Thanks. Michael: OK.
Ro: I'm gonna save these for later.
Now you're just gonna take your large cutting-knife, and we're gonna cut little carrot-pennies
Ro: so they look like little circles.
Ro: They should be about a 1/4 inch and just make a bunch of 'em!
Michael: All right, I'm chewing on the- uhhh, carrot...
Ro: Mmm-hmm...
Michael: Ok, but that's not gonna stop me from cutting the cucumber...
Ro: Nnn-mmm...
Michael: We're gonna cut similarly-sized pennies out of the cucumber.
Ro: Mmm-hmm!
Michael: So about a 1/4 inch I guess... Ro: Yeah!
Michael: I dunno, I've gotten really used to The Metric System since I've been living
Michael: outside of the U.S.- WOOOOOAH! Ho, ho!
Ro: Mmm-hmm, it's- OOOOH! Woah! Woah! Good save!
Michael: THAT- almost ruined everything! Ro: Good save! Heh-
Ro: OK, so now that you've got your cucumber-pennies, you're just gonna cut them in half like this...
Ro: ...and you're just gonna do that to all of your cucumbers.
Ro: Now that we've got all of our little cucumbers cut in half, you're gonna take your square
Ro: cookie cutter and you're just gonna use the corner and you're gonna line it up with the
Ro: middle like this, where the seeds are,
Ro: and you're just gonna cut out the center so... It looks like a little flower-leafs,
Ro: just like that.
Ro: And we're just gonna do that to all of the cucumbers!
Michael: What can I- What can we do with the seeds?
Ro: Well you can eat 'um...
Ro: Now we're gonna cut out shapes into our little flowers!
Ro: So you're gonna take your carrots- Mewwwp! and you're gonna take your tear-shaped cookie
Ro: cutter, the pointy end, and you're gonna make two cuts at the top.
Ro: One!
Ro: Aaaand two! Just line it up so that it will make three little flowers!
Michael: Oh that's great! Ro: Lookie-dhere!
Ro: Okay! Now we've got our cucumbers and our carrots all ready, and the last thing
Ro: that we're gonna do is cut our cheese into little cubes, so that they'll look like this-
Ro: SO! It will look like the little "Prize Block" that they sit on top of, how cute is
that? Michael: How cute and how clever!
Ro: Yum-yum-yum-yum!
Ro: Alright I'll show you how to do it, it's really easy! Uhm, again you're gonna take
Ro: your sharp cutting-knife, and you're just gonna "eyeball" it to about how big-
Ro: Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Michael: Oh-ho-ho-ho! Yeah!
Ro: Look at that! Look at that! Michael: Wah-woooh!
Ro: Boom!
Michael: Someone just "cut the cheese"! Ro: Keh-uhh-aah! Hah! Uuuh!
Michael: Look- That's...I know! But... Ro: Hah!
Michael: Do you realize that... the rind of a cheese really does keep its smell in so
Michael: when you cut it, it smells....you know... there- there's an odor...
Ro: Haha-hah!
Ro: Here I go, I'm just gonna cut the cheese some more...
Michael: Pffffffffftttttt! Ro: Hah, heeh, heeh, hah, ha!
Michael: Thrrrrrrp!
Michael: Pfffffffffffffffffffrrrrrrrrrrrrrhp! Ro: Keeh-hee-ha, ha, ha!
Michael: Bring "Vsauce" on the show to class it up!
Ro: All right, now I'm gonna show you guys how to put it all together so that they look
Ro: like little Fire Flowers!
Ro: So first thing you're gonna do is take your toohpick, so here you go!
Michael: Thank you! Ro: Oh, I gave you two...
Michael: Well...okay... Ro: I'm nice like that...
Ro: Okay, then you're gonna take your little cucumber and first you're gonna poke a hole
Ro: on the bottom of the cucumber. Michael: The bottom, okay!
Ro: Then you're gonna take a little flower, put 'em on top,
Ro: now you're gonna take your block of cheese, put it all the way down- Be really gentle!
Ro: The toothpick comes out the end a little bit so we're gonna take some baking-scissors and
Ro: cut it off.
Ro: And then you're just gonna do this to the rest of your flowers!
Michael: All right, now that we have our Fire Flowers done, we've gotta make a sauce for them!
Michael: A spicy, fire'y, Fire Flower...Sauce! Ro: I'm so excited!
Michael: Yeah!
Ro: To make our spicy vegetable dip, you're gonna need some green-onions, shredded chedda-cheese,
Ro: Tabasco sauce, or your favorite hot sauce, aaaaaaand...!
Michael: Some sour cream, cream cheese, a clove of garlic, little bit of cumin, a jalape�o
Michael: pepper, a sharp cutting-knife aaaaand a cutting-board.
Ro: Let's get "saucy"!
Ro: The first thing that we're gonna do is take 8 ounces of cream cheese and you're gonna
put it into a little mixing-bowl! Michael: That's right. That means..this entire
Michael: package right? Ro: Yeah, the entire package.
Michael: This is really soft! You've had this sittin' out, not refrigerated.
Ro: Mmmm-hmmm! Yeah, you wanna let it sit out so it's room temperature...
Michael: It'll be really easy to mix. Ro: ...a little softened...and sticky.
Michael: Ohh yeah! Ro: There you go!
Michael: I'm really strong! I don't know if you could tell how big my muscles are underneath this shirt!
Michael: Ohhh yeah! Ro: Perrrfect!
Ro: Now we're adding the "Light" sour cream to the mix, and you're gonna add half of this container.
This container is 16 oz. so you're only gonna need to add about 8 oz., doesn't need to be
Ro: perfect. Michael: So...
Michael: Is that about it? Ro: Yeah! That looks good! That's about half.
Michael: Yeah!
Ro: Now we're gonna add 1/2 Cup of the shredded cheddar cheese, I'll let you do it.
Michael: Ooh! Watch this- Multi-tasking!
Michael: Woooo-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-oooooh! Ro: Woah! Stir and pour! Stir and pour!
Michael: Yeeeeah! Yeeeah! Oh yeah!
Michael: It's gonna make Mario proud!
Ro: One teaspoon of cumin... Michael: Goin' right in!
Ro: Sprinkle it in there...I'll let you mix. Michael: You know, we really...should've made
a mushroom-based dip, and then we could pretend it was made out of Toadstool People!
Ro: Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!
Ro: Now we're gonna add one teaspoon of tabasco sauce.
Michael: It's gonna take forever! Ro: Awww that is gonna take forever, isn't it?
Michael: I guessed it would take 8, but it's gonna take about eight....ty..
Ro: Eigh....ty tries... That's about how many tries it takes me to finish a level in Super
Ro: Mario World! I have problems jumping!
Michael: Look at that surface-tension at work! Ro: Oooohh the science!
Michael: Oh-ho-ho...woooooah! Ro: Awwww-wooooah!
Ro: Now we are gonna dice one clove of garlic. Michael: Cute guy!
Ro: Look how little he is!
Ro: And now last but not least, we're gonna chop up some green-onion.
Ro: You want two tablespoons of green-onion.
Ro: Chop off the white parts- I saw a video, you just do that!
Ro: And that! And don't get your fingers!
Michael: Actually this recipe calls for two ounces of "Ro-fingers"...
Ro: Oh, it does? Michael: Did I read that wrong?
Ro: Here's a tablespoon.. Michael: There it is.
Ro: One... Michael: Two!
Ro: Two.
Ro: The last-last thing that we're gonna add is a jalape�o pepper...I forgot this!
Ro: It's OK! What you're gonna do is cut off the end, like that!
Ro: Then we're gonna cut it in half.
Ro: And now we're gonna gut it! You're just gonna take out all these little insides and
Ro: the seeds, we don't want it!
Now that they're chopped up, we're gonna put 'em all in the dip!
Ro: All right, put 'em on here....Uuuuuuhhhhhhhhh! Start mixin'!
Michael: Love it!
Both: Ta-daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
