Who's that comin' from somewhere up in the sky?

Movin' fast and bright as a firefly

Just when you think that trouble's gonna pounce

Who's gonna be there when it really counts?

Do that Care Bears Countdown

Five, four, three, two, one.

Announcer: And now back to "The Care Bears."

TV announcer: It's a beautiful, sunny day in Care-a-Lot,

and this is station C-A-R-E.

We care...

Now stay tuned for...

"Grams' Cooking Corner!"

Hugs Bear: Oh, goody, goody, gosh.

Tenderheart, look.

Grams is on TV.

That's right, Hugs.

Grams' new TV show

teaches kids how to cook along.

We want to learn to cook just like Grams.

Don't we, Tugs?

TV announcer: And now here's Grams with "Cooking Corner."

Well, hello there.

Hello, Grams.

I'm so glad you could join me today.

I'll bet some of you think that cooking

is just too much work,

with all that cutting and peeling and pot washing.

I'll say.

Because I have to do all the pot washing.

Well, I'm here to show you how cooking can be fun.

Especially when you sample

the delicious goodies you can make.

Goodies?

Yeouch!

I'll bet each of you has a favorite dessert,

don't you?

Well, today we're going to make

Hugs' and Tugs' favorite.

Gingerbread cookies.

Gosh, Grams said our names on TV.

Oh, boy. Oh, boy!

This is my chance to make yummy,

terrific goodies!

Oh...

I mean yucky, disgusting baddies.

Okay, everybody...

let's get ready to cook along.

Always wash your hands before starting.

That's so our food won't get dirt in it,

right, Tenderheart?

Right, Tugs.

Now you can put on your favorite apron.

Ooh, that tickles.

Collect everything you 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, check...

huh? Yeow!

Remember, always ask a big person to help you

when you need something on a high shelf.

Now she tells me.

We'll also use a cookie cutter and a clock.

Why a 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...

Wha--

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.

He-yah!

Hold your bowl with one hand so that it doesn't slip.

Now she tells me.

Grams Bear: Next, add one quarter cup,

or 50 milliliters, of blackstrap molasses.

Be careful when pouring molasses.

It's very sticky.

Tenderheart, look.

The molasses made the batter really dark.

My, doesn't that look wonderful?

One egg goes in next.

Lucky for me, I've been saving

this dinosaur egg.

Tap your egg gently with a spoon.

Hmm.

Whoa!

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.

Yeow!

Mama!

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?

Grams Bear: That's what I said.

We put these spices into the flour and baking soda.

pickled bat gizzards, snake knees,

spiders' eyebrows...

Now we'll put the dry ingredients

into the wet ingredients.

Oh!

Grams Bear: Then mix everything thoroughly.

Yipe!

You're 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.

My goodness.

By the miracle of modern television,

we've advanced time 15 minutes.

Huh? Wha--

Ooh, the bowl feels cold, doesn't it?

Gah!

It's not cold to me.

Now comes the part your big friend or parent will do.

Never use a stove or an oven by yourself.

Okay, Grams.

Grams Bear: Turn on the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

That's 175 degrees centigrade.

Now we place a ball of dough

between two pieces of wax paper

and roll the dough out so that it is

1/8th of an inch or 1/3rd of a centimeter thick.

Aha!

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 cut-out cookie on the sheet.

Hugs Bear: We made a picture, Tenderheart.

We sure did.

Oh, isn't he cute?

Well, let's put on our oven mitts

'cause it looks like our cookies are ready for baking.

Remember, little ones...

your big friend or parent is going to do this part.

Bake the gingerbread in the oven

for eight to 10 minutes

or until they're golden brown.

Set your clock or timer right now.

Oh, I'm so excited.

I just can't wait 'til those cookies are done.

Can you?

No, I can't!

Ah-ah, good things take time.

Harrumph.

Because I know that a clean kitchen

is a safe kitchen,

I'll take care of these dishes while I wait.

And so will I.

Tenderheart, when we finish these dishes,

will our cookies be done?

I think so, Hugs.

Let's keep an eye on the clock.

Ah, do you smell what I smell?

Mitts on, everyone!

My, my, they're just right.

Let's see how yours turned out.

Wow!

Neat!

Stand back, Hugs and Tugs.

Those are hot cookies.

Grams Bear: Oh, my. Don't they look good enough to eat?

But let's wait just a little

until they cool down.

I'll get the plates.

Yahoo!

Whoa!

Well, now, my little darlings.

Didn't we have fun today?

We sure did, Grams.

While we're all enjoying our cookies...

Huh?

Grams Bear: I'd like to take a moment to thank you all

for joining me today.

And I'll look forward to seeing you all soon

when we get together for another

exciting cooking adventure

here on "Cooking Corner."

Nah.

So keep smiling and keep cooking.

Bye, now!

Hugs and Tugs: Bye, Grams!

See ya! So long!

Good cookies?

Hey.

Where'd they all go?

We saved the biggest for you, Tenderheart.

Tugs Bear: Thank you for helping us.

You're welcome.

Announcer: "The Care Bears" will be right back.

Announcer: And now back to "The Care Bears."

Brave Heart: It's time for a Care Bear's look

at food facts and fables!

Hi, kids.

Let's see what we can discover today about food.

Tenderheart: Your body is an amazing machine.

You can dance and jump, sing a song...

Tenderheart: ...read a book...

push a wheelbarrow...

Grumpy: Hey, wait a minute.

I thought you said we were doing

a show on food, Tenderheart.

What does all this activity stuff

have to do with food, anyhow?

Everything, Grumpy.

Food is the fuel which keeps our bodies going.

We couldn't do any of these activities without it.

Let's take a look at what our ancestors ate.

Grumpy: Ooh, that's no ancestor of mine.

Ah!

Tenderheart: Cavemen ate their food raw.

Ew, yuck!

Huh?

Yeow!

Wha--

Tenderheart: Sooner or later,

someone figured out...

...that food tastes better when it's cooked.

Whoa.

Tenderheart: We take you now live to the Forest of Feelings,

where we join Swift Heart Rabbit

in her rabbit hole.

Hello, Tenderheart.

My recipe for today is carrot and ginger salad.

That sounds delicious.

Let's see how it's done.

Righto, Tenderheart.

Ta-da!

Uh, great, Swift Heart.

Can you play that back in slow motion, please?

Swift Heart: Righto, Tenderheart.

Here you see me peeling three carrots.

Now I'm grating them.

Next, I'm putting the carrots in a bowl.

And now I'm squeezing the juice out of an orange.

Here I am adding the juice to the carrots.

Then I take a spoonful of mayonnaise.

I put that in the bowl along with about

half a box of seedless raisins,

a dash of powdered ginger,

and a pinch of salt.

Here, you see me mix everything well

and top it off with a dollop of marmalade

and a piece of candied ginger.

Like so!

Fantastic, Swift Heart.

Could we see that again in normal time?

Righto, Grumpy.

Amazing.

Ta-da!

Tenderheart: Thank you very much,

Swift Heart Rabbit.

You're very welcome.

Like some?

How did you--

Try it, you'll like it.

Mm, not bad.

Mm, mm, yum.

Have you ever wondered how something

as simple as the sandwich was first created?

Tenderheart: 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 earl.

He's an absolute genius in the kitchen.

Oh, uh, honey?

Uh, sweetie pie?

Sugarplum?

Oh, knock it off, Earl.

What do you want?

The, uh, gang and I

are a-- 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 slices of bread,

some butter, a bit of lettuce?

Yes, that sounds right.

Some sausage.

Maybe-- What are you making?

I'm not sure.

Some tomatoes, a bit of mayonnaise,

a pickle and... that's it!

Sandwich: What is it?

Well, it's a-- it's a--

it's a sandwich.

Oh.

Tenderheart: And that's how the sandwich was invented.

Or is it quiche?

Tenderheart: Okay, Grumpy...

what do you think our little caveperson is painting?

Grumpy: Maybe it's one of those huge wild animals

he and his fellow cavepersons 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.

Yeow!

Yeow!

Now, that was ridiculous.

Harrumph.

Hi, kids.

It's me, Brave Heart Lion...

in a peanut suit.

Hope I don't get sued.

Anyways, the reason I'm wearin' this here peanut disguise

is 'cause I'm gonna sing to y'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 'em--

taste mighty good

and they're mighty good for ya, too.

Well, I think that's about enough tunin'.

So let's get down to business.

[ to the tune of "Oh My Darling, Clementine"]

Oh

For PB balls, for PB balls

This is what you do

Get a big bowl, yes, a big bowl

And a measurin' cup, too

You need granola and brown sugar

And some skim milk powder, too

Raisins, sesame seeds, or dried coconut

And, of course, the PB, too

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 'em in the bowly

And then in with your hands you reach

Mix 'em all up, mix 'em all up

So it all looks just the same

When it looks like chunky white stuff

You know you mixed it up enough...

Bet you'd never guess

I'm just makin' this song up as I go along, huh?

How does he do it?

Oh

Take the peanut, take the peanut

Take the peanut butter out

Fill two cups, that's 500 milliliters

They'll have fun tryin' to get it out

And then ya dump it, then ya dump it

Then ya dump it in the bowl

And then ya mix it with the white stuff

Homogeneity's your goal...

That means you mix it

'til it all looks the same.

And then ya roll 'em into ballies

About one inch in diameter

That's two-point-five centimeters

'Bout the size of a Ping-Pong ball

And then ya roll 'em in sesame seeds

Or in toasted coconuts

Put 'em in the refrigerator

Now you have your

PB balls.

Oh, yeah.

Well, there ya go, pardners.

Now ya know how to make 'em.

'Course, they don't really have

those cute little faces on 'em.

Mm.

Tenderheart: Here's our prehistoric person

in his daily search for food.

Ah!

Grumpy: I see he's decided to go vegetarian today.

Whoa!

Grumpy: Ah, yes. Potatoes.

A wise choice.

Full of vitamins and minerals and...

Huh?

Grumpy: Hmm, I think he's got something there.

Huh?

Grumpy: What? No ketchup?

[ Tenderheart and Grumpy ]

Well, Grumpy, how did you like

our look at food facts and fables?

Well, it was fun,

but I still don't see how food keeps me going.

You don't?

Wow!

Yahoo!

Well, looks like Grumpy understands

how food gets him going after all.

'Night, folks.
