00:00I can't leave now, but I'll get there as soon as I can.
00:28Okay.
00:30A bunch of penguins got lost and ended up in Nina's bathtub.
00:33Again?
00:34I know!
00:35Anyways, I want to get over there and help them find their way home, but Alan isn't here,
00:39so there isn't anybody who can watch over Hoopers.
00:41Of course there is!
00:43Ta-da!
00:44It is I, your furry-friendly pal Grover, here to help!
00:47Hey, Grover!
00:48Uh, have you been behind the counter this whole time?
00:51Yeah.
00:52I like to make a dramatic entrance!
00:54But I am here and ready to wait on customers and take orders!
00:58Oh, and I have also brought a friend here to help cook!
01:01Come on in!
01:04He likes to make a dramatic entrance, too.
01:07Anyway, we would be more than happy to take care of Hoopers while you are gone.
01:11Are you really telling me this octopus can cook?
01:13Absolutely!
01:14This octopus can cook anything!
01:17Anything?
01:18Anything!
01:19Okay, if you're sure.
01:21Um, thank you!
01:22Bye, everybody!
01:24Yep, my friendly octopus can cook anything.
01:27As long as it is bread.
01:28And only bread.
01:30The octopus can only make bread?
01:33Yes, bread.
01:34I should make that very clear.
01:36This octopus can cook anything as long as it is bread and only bread.
01:40Hope that is not a problem.
01:43Oh, looks like we're going to find out!
01:45You've got a customer!
01:48A customer!
01:50Get ready, octopus!
01:51Octopus!
01:54Hello, and welcome to Hooper's convenience store and fine dining experience!
01:58How may I help you, sir?
02:00Oh, no, not you again!
02:03Oh, please, sir, we are happy to have you!
02:05Please order anything you like!
02:08All right.
02:10Can I please get some soup?
02:11No.
02:13No?
02:15All right, then.
02:16How about the salad?
02:17No.
02:18Spinach?
02:19Uh-uh.
02:20Spaghetti squash?
02:21Succotash?
02:22Absolutely.
02:23Well, if I can't get what I want, then maybe I should just go eat somewhere else.
02:27No, no, no, wait, wait, wait, wait!
02:28We here at Hooper's want to make all our customers happy.
02:31Please stay.
02:32Well, I am pretty hungry.
02:34Okay, let's see.
02:36I'd like to stay in shape, and today my favorite shape is a circle.
02:42So, uh, please make me something round.
02:46Something round?
02:47Round.
02:48Like a circle?
02:49Like a circle.
02:50That's right.
02:51Okay, uh, coming up.
02:52All right.
02:55Uh, how's it going, Grover?
02:57Not great.
02:58The customer ordered something round, but the octopus can only make bread.
03:03Oh, yikes.
03:04What are you going to do?
03:05If the customer leaves, Chris will be so disappointed.
03:09Don't worry, Grover.
03:10Elmo's sure we can think of something.
03:13My family is from the South, and we make a special kind of bread that's round called biscuits.
03:19Biscuits are bread?
03:20That does not sound right.
03:21Oh, they are, because bread is something that's made with grains like flour or cornmeal or oats,
03:27and then baked, steamed, or fried.
03:30Biscuits are my favorite kind of bread, because in my family, we make them together for Sunday dinners.
03:36We roll out the dough and then cut it into circles so that they're all perfectly round.
03:42I can tell you the recipe.
03:43It's pretty simple.
03:44Oh, cool.
03:45Well, let's get the ingredients together.
03:47Oh, great.
03:54Here you go, Mr. Octopus.
03:56And now we wait.
04:15Hooray!
04:16The round biscuits are done.
04:18All right, some round, bready biscuits from a special family recipe.
04:24Oh, well, how about that?
04:27Thank you.
04:30These are tasty.
04:33Wait!
04:34I'd like to order something else.
04:36Please let it be bread.
04:38Yes, sir. What would you like?
04:39Well, I'm just a little hungry,
04:42so now I'd like to order something flat.
04:46Flat?
04:47Yes, flat.
04:49Okay.
04:52It's not okay!
04:54Our customer wants something flat now,
04:56but as I said earlier,
04:58this octopus only makes bread,
05:00and there's surely no such thing as flat bread.
05:03No!
05:04Oh, he has me!
05:06Hey, did I hear that you're making a flat bread?
05:09We would love to,
05:11but clearly there's no such thing.
05:13Yes, there is, Grover.
05:15My family is Lebanese-American,
05:18and we make a special kind of bread
05:20that is flat all the time.
05:22What? You are kidding me.
05:24It's called khebes.
05:26When you bake it,
05:28the steam inside makes it puff up,
05:31but then it gets flat again when it cools.
05:34Oh, cool!
05:36It's my favorite kind of bread,
05:38because in my family,
05:40we eat it in all different kinds of ways.
05:43It's like a pocket that you can fill with tasty food.
05:48Or you can cut it up,
05:50and you can dip it in hummus.
05:53Hummus!
05:55Khebes, huh?
05:57Think you can handle that?
05:59I can tell you my family's recipe.
06:01Oh, cool!
06:17Next, you cut it into triangles.
06:20Ooh, this khebes looks really good.
06:24All right, one order of khebes.
06:27Some flat khebes for you.
06:30Ta-da!
06:32It's a special family recipe.
06:34My family eats it with hummus.
06:37You've got to try it.
06:39All right, let's see here.
06:41Hmm, khebes.
06:44All right, let's see here.
06:46Hmm, khebes, you say?
06:51Flat and delicious.
06:54Another satisfied customer.
06:56Uh, wait!
06:58I'd like to order something sweet.
07:01Something deserty.
07:03Okey-dokey, how about some bread?
07:06I want something sweet.
07:07Bread, you say?
07:08No, something sweet.
07:09Bread!
07:10I said sweet!
07:11No!
07:12If you don't bring me something sweet,
07:14I'm just going to have to go someplace else.
07:16No, no, no, no, no!
07:17Please stay!
07:18Something sweet, coming up!
07:22I don't like it.
07:24Now our customer wants something sweet!
07:26But the problem is...
07:28The octopus only makes bread.
07:31That is right.
07:32And obviously there's no such thing as a sweet kind of bread.
07:36This time, though, I know just what to do.
07:41Eight suitcases for you, octopus,
07:44and one for me.
07:46Let us close the store and go on vacation.
07:49We have no other choice.
07:50Well, you know, my family is Korean,
07:52and there's a special kind of bread my family loves,
07:54just like Tamir and Yasmin.
07:56And guess what?
07:58What?
07:59It's sweet!
08:00Oh, well then.
08:04Yeah, it's called milk bread,
08:06and there's lots of ways to make it.
08:08Sometimes it's round, sometimes it's square,
08:11but it's always super soft and squishy.
08:14And it's all sweet!
08:16That sounds amazing.
08:17Yeah, it's my favorite kind of bread.
08:19Does Ji-young know the recipe?
08:20Sure, I'll show you. Let's do it.
08:22Okay.
08:39Ta-da!
08:41Sweet milk bread, ready to go!
08:44Your sweet milk bread, sir!
08:47Ta-da!
08:48And that is my special family recipe
08:51with whipped cream and fruit.
08:55Wowee, this is delicious!
08:58Yeah!
08:59I love it.
09:00Hey, you got any other kinds of bread?
09:03Let me check with the chef.
09:04All right, then.
09:08We need more bread!
09:11Good news!
09:12There's a ton more kinds of bread!
09:14Oh, yeah!
09:15Families from around the world
09:16have their own kinds of bread.
09:18There's crumbly soda bread.
09:20Sour and sour bread.
09:22And puffy naan.
09:23And soft tortillas.
09:24And steamed bao.
09:25And whole wheat.
09:26These are all breads?
09:28Yeah, from around the world.
09:33Okay.
09:34Okay.
09:36Here I come, sir!
09:38Hi, everybody!
09:39Oh, hey, Chris.
09:40You're back!
09:41So, how's everything going?

10:01are cooking with their grandpa.
10:03Yeah!
10:04We mix the flour and salt
10:06with the water and oil.
10:08And that's how we make tortillas.
10:10And now we get to do my favorite part.
10:12Pressing our tortilla dough.
10:14Yeah!
10:15Just put the balls of dough
10:17in the middle of the tortilla press
10:19and press it!
10:25Tortillas are a kind of bread
10:27that my family made
10:28when I was a little boy
10:29growing up in Mexico.
10:31Now we get to cook them.

13:45Hi, Cookie Monster and Gonger.
13:47I'm Lula, and I need your help.
13:49One of my family's favorite foods is baba ghanoush with pita bread,
13:52a snack made from eggplant.
13:54Can you help me, please?
13:55Of course we can help you,

13:59Monster Foodies!

14:20lemon,
14:21salt,

15:25Can you help us, please?
15:27Hello, Cookie Monster and Gonga.
15:29We're going to make some baba ghanoush.
15:33Hello, Cookie Monster and Gonga.
15:35Welcome to the eggplant farm.
15:37Sure, I can help you.
15:39Most people think of eggplants as a vegetable.
15:42But they are actually a fruit
15:44because they grow from a flowering plant
15:46and contain seeds.
15:48Eggplants are ready to harvest
15:50when their skin becomes glossy and dark purple.
15:53And you need these special pruning shears
15:56to cut them close to the stem.
15:59Eggplants come in lots of different colors,
16:02shapes and sizes.
16:04Eggplants are used in lots of different types of dishes
16:08all around the world.
16:09Like tangy sambar,
16:11eggplant bhamajan
16:13and ratatouille.
16:15Here are some eggplants to make
16:17baba ghanoush, Cookie Monster and Gonga.
16:19Thank you, Farmer Skanda.

16:27Okay, Chef Gonger.
16:29We got the eggplants.
16:30Now, how we make baba ghanoush?
16:33Okay.
16:34First, we cut the eggplants in half.
16:36Okay, here we go.
16:38Choppy chop.
16:39Oh, yeah.
16:40Yeah.
16:41Now, we roast it in the oven.
16:44Put it in.
16:45Okay.
16:47Whoa, look at that.
16:48Now, we scoop the insides out
16:50and put them into the blender.
16:53Now, add one-third cup of olive oil.
16:57Olive oil going in.
16:59And then a quarter cup of tahini.
17:02That's like peanut butter made of sesame seeds.
17:05Oh, tahini.
17:07Now, two cloves of garlic.
17:10Two cloves of garlic going in.
17:13And then a squeeze of lemon juice.
17:15Okay, a squeezy squeeze of lemon juice.
17:18And then a dash of salt.
17:20Dashy dashy.
17:21Good.
17:22Okay, now goes on the lid.
17:25Now, we blend.
17:30We think this baba ghanoush gonna be baba good.
17:34Okay, Cookie.
17:36Now, put it into a bowl with some pita bread on the side.

19:19Right outside your door.
19:21Nature explorers.
19:23Love to explore.
19:26Come with us on a nature adventure.
19:28We're the nature explorers.
19:37Hey.
19:38Hey.
19:39Elmo, Gabriel, and Tango
19:41are helping Grandma Nell in the greenhouse.
19:44Thank you, Tango.
19:46These seedlings are ready to plant this afternoon.
19:49But before we start, it's time to play
19:52Pick Your Lunch.
19:55Pick Your Lunch?
19:58How do you play that, Grandma Nell?
20:00All you have to do is pick the food for your lunch
20:03from the veggies in the community garden.
20:05See if you can find ones that grow on top of the soil,
20:08under the soil, and above the soil.
20:11Hmm.
20:12On top of, under, and above the soil.
20:15Got it.
20:17You can look with us.
20:19Now, what would you like to eat?
20:21Um, oh, oh, how about a salad?
20:24Yeah, Elmo loves salad.
20:27Um, but Elmo wonders,
20:30can we make a salad from veggies in the garden?
20:34Great question, Elmo.
20:36This is a job for
20:38Nature Explorers.
20:40You could be a Nature Explorer, too.
20:42Come on, observe and look healthy with us.
20:44Binoculars.
20:46Magnifying glass.
20:48Notebook.
20:50Nature Explorers,
20:52ready to explore.
20:55Woof.
20:57Hmm.
20:58Elmo sees big green leaves
21:01that grow on the soil.
21:03Is that a veggie?
21:05But all the leaves look different.
21:07That's because they are all different kinds of lettuce.
21:11This is called romaine.
21:14This one is arugula.
21:16And this one is butterhead lettuce.
21:19They are all leaves that you can eat.
21:21Leaves you can eat?
21:23I have to draw this in my notebook.
21:26Our friend said it was fine
21:28to take some veggies from their plot,
21:30so go ahead and pick some lettuce for the salad, Elmo.
21:33Okay.
21:34See you shortly.
21:35Woof.
21:39Wait.
21:40Grandma now said we should find veggies
21:42that grow on top of the soil,
21:44under the soil,
21:45and above the soil.
21:46Lettuce grows on top of the soil.
21:49So, we're winning?
21:50So far.
21:51Let's keep going.
21:55Woof.
21:56Let's follow Tango.
22:01Woof.
22:02Woof.
22:03I think Tango found another veggie.
22:05Elmo doesn't see any veggies.
22:08Let's see.
22:10Wait a minute.
22:11Elmo sees something orange.
22:13Carrots are orange.
22:15I wonder.
22:19Tango found a carrot.
22:21Carrots grow under the soil.
22:24Good girl, Tango.
22:27Woof.
22:30Okay.
22:31So, we found lettuce that grows on top of the soil,
22:34carrots that grow under the soil.
22:36Now, we just have to find veggies
22:38that grow above the soil,
22:40and then we'll win the game of Pick Your Lunch.
22:45Woof.
22:46Hello.
22:47Above the soil veggies, where are you?
22:51Aw.
22:53Woof.
22:54Woof.
22:55Woof.
22:56Tango found a tomato.
22:58But where do they grow?
23:00Woof.
23:02Tomatoes don't come from the sky, Tango.
23:06Woof.
23:07But they do come from up there.
23:10Look.
23:11They're growing above the soil.
23:13That's right, Nature Explorers.
23:15And you can pick the red tomatoes
23:17by gently twisting them off of the vine.
23:19Grandma, now what about the green ones?
23:22Oh, leave the green ones.
23:23The green ones, they aren't ripe yet.
23:25Fun fact, tomatoes are actually a fruit.
23:29Gabrielle, we did it.
23:32We found food that grows on top of,
23:34under,
23:36and above the soil to make our salad.
23:39Well, that's right.
23:40And you are the winners of Pick Your Lunch.
23:45Woof.
23:46Woof.
23:47Woof.
23:48Nature Explorers look high.
23:49Nature Explorers look low.
23:51Nature Explorers exploring nature everywhere we go.
23:54I'll be a veggie.
23:55You be a veggie, too.
23:57Let's sprout from soil like the veggies do.
24:00Sprout, sprout, sprout like a veggie.
24:05We're good to eat salad now, right?
24:08Yes.
24:09Good job, Nature Explorers.
24:11And great nature exploring.
24:14Bye.
24:15Bye, Nature Explorers.
24:17We hope you had fun finding out about food with us today.
24:20I absolutely did.
24:22I learned that there are many, many, many,
24:24um,
24:26many different kinds of bread people make with their families.
24:30Yeah.
24:31See you next time on Sesame Street.
24:34Let's eat.
