Eggs
Vanilla ice cream
Flour
White sugar
Soy sauce
Pine apple

Commercial music from the 90’s… “Mm you got to love it, the incredible edible egg”

Talk show host 1: Ladies and Gentlemen, have I got a treat for you! We all love eggs, right?

Audience: Applauds

Talk show host 2: Everybody loves eggs.

Talk show host 1: Everybody does love eggs. And what’s not to love? I mean, they’re cheap—
they’re convenient—and they’re good for you.

Audience: Applauds again

Talk show host 2: Everybody loves eggs.

Talk show host 1: And today, we’re going to show you what you can do with just half a carton of eggs, a pint of vanilla ice cream, and some other common household baking items that you can find in your very own fridge.

Talk show host 2: That’s right, come around the table here, and we’ll see what Chef Paulo has to say about how to turn something inexpensive and healthy into a delicious snack.

Host 1: Thank-you for being here, Chef Paulo.

Chef Paulo: Thank-you for having me. Yes, Host 1, this is one of my favorite dishes to make, because it is so easy, and it tastes so good, and people will come over to your house, and they’ll say, “What is this?! Where did you get it—which STORE did you buy it from?” And of course, you say, “I bought it from Chef Paulo” haha…

Audience: Laughs

Host 1: So, Chef Paulo—how do you actually make these? I mean, from ice cream, right? Vanilla ice cream and…

Paulo: Yes—vanilla ice cream, and eggs. All you do—here—I share this secret with you, #1. With you, and with this audience alone, because this recipe is too good to keep to myself.

Host 1: You’ve got to share it.

Paulo: That’s right—you have to share these kinds of things with the world. It’s too good to keep just for me.

Host 2: So, do you put the eggs in first?

Paulo: No, no—you don’t PUT the eggs in anywhere—not yet. You leave them to the side.

Host 2: To the side?

Paulo: Yes, to the side.

Host 1: So you just crack them open, and put them to the side.

Paulo: No, I’ll show you-- you crack open three eggs, and scramble them, and put them to the side—just like this. Then you crack open the other three eggs and put them into the bowl.

Host 2: You don’t scramble them yet?

Paulo: No, not yet—You don’t scramble them yet—just put them with the scrambled eggs, and put the eggs off to the side.

Host 2: Is that because… why? Does it—does it really change anything?

Paulo: Oh, it changes everything.

Host 1: Really?

Paulo: Oh, it changes everything. Everything!

Host 1: Okay, now that we have the eggs to the side

Paulo: To the side…

Host 1: Now that the eggs are put to the side, what… what’s next?

Paulo: Well, the next step is the trickiest step, which is good news, because it’s not even tricky at all!

Host 1: It’s the trickiest step, and it’s not even tricky at all.

Paulo: Exactly—that’s what makes this such a great dish to make in your own home.

Host 1: Okay, so what’s next?

Paulo: Well, you take 1/3 cup flour

Host 2: White flour?

Paulo: White flour.

Host 1: (Towards host 2) White flour—really? White flour? What other flour would you be using?

Host 2: Well, there are other types of flour.

Paulo: Let’s not fight—we’re making GREATNESS!

Host 1: That’s right—we’re making greatness. So what’s next—white… sorry—white flour.

Paulo: Yes, white flour—a third of a cup—1/4 cup of soy sauce

Host 1: Oh, I love soy sauce.

Paulo: Got to have the soy sauce—and the sugar—the sugar comes RIGHT after the soy sauce.

Host 1: How much sugar do you put in?

Paulo: Oh, as much as you like. That’s another reason why this dish is so great—it can be adjusted to your particular taste.

Host 1: That’s right, because maybe I like more sugar than my neighbor does.

Paulo: Exactly. This is why we leave the sugar up to you. And then—THEN—you put the eggs in.

Host 1: Just mix it in?

Paulo: Just mix it all in. Until it all looks yellow.

Host 1: Oh, our audience loves yellow.

Paulo: This is something the audience will like. (Continues stirring). And then, then we come to the second to last step.

Host 1: See how easy it is to make so far?

Paulo: Oh, Paulo likes things that are easy to make… And now—see it’s all yellow? Put in the
entire pint of vanilla ice cream

Audience: Oos and Aahs

Host 2: Yeah—that’s what I’m talking about.

Paulo: And then—to top it all off—some fresh pineapple.

Host 1: THAT looks wonderful. Doesn’t that look delicious?!

Paulo: Of course, you can substitute—used canned instead of fresh. But Paulo likes to use the fresh.

Host 1: And we love you for using the fresh. We are actually all out of time, but once again, we just like to say, thank-you for coming on the show—that looks GREAT—and let’s get a look at this—the Egg Desert—is that a good name for it?

Paulo: That’s a good name for it.

Host 1: I think so—because that’s what it is. And remember, it’s fast—it’s cheap—and it’s healthy. Thank-you so much, and we’ll see you next time.

· Camera pans out, with the audience applausing and the two hosts eating the Egg Desert.

Why is there a space in the word 'pine apple'?
