Girl Meets Farm (2018–…): Season 4, Episode 13 - Outdoor Movie Night - full transcript

That's gorgeous.

Today, I'm making some of
my favorite munchies

for an outdoor home
movie night on the farm...

Oh, man.

...Starting with my nachos piled
high with barbecue pulled pork,

some crunchy, fresh radishes
with smoked butter,

and for dessert, individual
movie candy bar salads.

This is gonna keep
the dentists in business.

Oh, yah. Mmm!

Hey! This is me -- molly yeh.

I'm a cookbook author
and food blogger.



this is my husband, nick.

This is our new addition...

And this is our home,

our farm on the
north dakota/minnesota border,

the place where I eat,
sleep, and breathe food.

these look like a party.

My food is a delicious mix

of my chinese and jewish
heritage

and a taste of the midwest.

nick and I are new parents,
and we could not be happier.

Our baby girl, bernie,
is so much fun.

We've put together
a little video

of all of our favorite
first moments with her,

and we're gonna have
family over later



for an outdoor movie night
and picnic dinner.

So I'm making my homemade
candy bar salad,

which is gonna be fluffy and
filled with chewy bits of candy

and crisp granny smith apples.

It's gonna be so good.

To get started, I'm gonna make
my homemade

chocolate nougat candy bars.

I'll first melt some chocolate
chips in my double boiler here.

You could also melt this
in a microwave.

And I'm gonna add a table
spoon of refined coconut oil,

which will help
keep the chocolate

a little bit soft
once it firms up.

These are semi-sweet
chocolate chips.

Pretty much any chocolate
will do.

I would not advise using
milk chocolate, though,

because the inside of
the candy bar is really sweet.

I'm gently stirring this
to make sure

all of the chocolate
gets melted and smooth.

Candy bar salad
is a midwest specialty.

The first time I tried this,
I was thrown off by the fact

that it was called a salad,
but it's not a salad at all.

It's just a really delicious,
fluffy dessert.

The chocolate is looking great.

I'm ready to pour it
into my pan.

I have a pan here that I've
lined with parchment paper,

and I've put little wings up
top here,

which will help me remove
the candy bar once it's cooled.

I'll pour half of this in now

and then reserve
the other half for the top.

And I'll smooth it out
evenly with my spatula.

perfect.

I'm gonna set this
in the freezer to firm up

while I make my nougat now.

this nougat is my favorite part
of the candy bar.

It's so easy to make,

and it's chewy and fluffy
and dangerous to have around.

I'm gonna start with 2 cups
of marshmallow fluff.

This is gonna be the sticky,
fluffy base of the nougat,

and I'm using
a stiff spatula for this.

It's very sticky.

okay, I'll add this
to my big bowl.

This is the messiest step
but the tastiest step.

Now I'm gonna add half
a cup of peanut butter.

You can use any nut butter
or seed butter that you want.

Today, I'm going with
the classic peanut butter.

This is unsweetened
peanut butter

because I'm adding
a lot of sugar

in the rest of the mixture.

I'll pour this right in.

Peanut butter
and marshmallow fluff --

what a perfect combination.

Okay, now I'm gonna add
3 cups of powdered sugar.

After bernie, my sweet tooth
has just gone insane,

so these candy bars are so
dangerous for me to have around

because I will eat all of them.

Now, to help bring this
together,

I'm also gonna add
2 tablespoons of whole milk.

And now stir it up.

I want to dive into this nougat
right now.

I love it.
It's no-bake.

You don't actually have to
make nougat

with a candy thermometer
or anything.

My chocolate is all firmed up,

and now I'm gonna top it
with my nougat.

Okay, because it's so sticky,

I find it easiest just to use
my hands to pat it down,

but I'm gonna wet them
a little bit

so that the nougat
doesn't stick to my hands.

Okay, and I'll just press
this evenly all over.

And now I'm gonna add a layer
of salted, roasted peanuts.

I'm gonna sprinkle
these all over.

And these are key to have
the salty with the sweet.

This looks great.

Now I'm gonna melt my caramel.

It's super simple.

I'll just grab my sauce pan,
add caramel,

and a couple tablespoons
of heavy cream,

and I'll heat
it over low heat

while I stir it until the
caramel is smooth and melted.

Okay, my caramel is all melty
and gooey,

and now I'm gonna pour it
right over the peanuts.

Oh...

That's gorgeous.

This is gonna keep
the dentists in business.

I'll spread this evenly
over the peanuts.

This is gonna firm up
pretty quickly,

so then I'll be able
to pour on my chocolate.

I have the rest
of my chocolate here,

and I'll pour this right
over the caramel.

Alright, let me smooth
this out with a spatula.

How good does that look.

I like making nice, big swoops
in the chocolate.

I'll give it some texture,
and I'll finish these

with a pink of flaky salt.

Now, I'll let them set
in the fridge,

and these are gonna be
the prettiest candy bars ever.

Coming up, I'm braising
some tender and juicy

pulled pork
for my nachos.

Then we're skipping the popcorn
and opting for some fresh

and crunchy radishes
with smoked butter.

These could totally
give buttered popcorn

a run for its money.

Nick's firing up the projector,
and then it's movie time.

Oh, man.
Bernie!

It's movie night on the farm

and I'm making one of
my favorite theater snacks.

My barbecue pulled pork nachos
are super cheesy

and loaded with tender
pulled pork.

To start, I'll make a spice rub.

I'll get a tablespoon
of paprika...

...A tablespoon of garlic
powder...

And a tablespoon
of onion powder...

And then a tablespoon
of kosher salt...

And then a little bit
of sweetness

with 2 teaspoons
of brown sugar.

I'll whisk this to combine.

And now I'll grab my pork.

I've got pork shoulder here
that's been cut into pieces,

and this is gonna get
so tender and juicy.

I'm gonna toss this
with my spice rub now.

This gets so much flavor
all over.

Toss this around.

Okay, my pork is coated
in the spice rub,

smelling nice and smokey
from that paprika,

and now in my dutch
oven here,

I'm gonna add
a tablespoon of oil

and I'll add my pork
and sear it on all sides.

I want to get some nice brown
color to lock in that flavor.

The smell is making me
so hungry.

I love movie night.

I'm pretty sure this home movie
that we put together for tonight

is gonna become
my new favorite movie.

I'm gonna flip this pork now

to get it browned
on the other side.

When they all look like this,
it's time to flip.

Now, while this browns,
I'll grab my onion.

I'll slice this up and throw
this into the pot,

and it'll add
really nice sweetness.

I'll stir it around,
and I'm gonna let these soften.

And this is just a great basic
pulled pork recipe.

You can make sliders,
you could do tacos...

Okay, now the last thing
that this needs

is some chicken stock.

This chicken stock is gonna
help the pork cook

and give it
so much flavor.

Okay, and now I'll bring this
to a boil.

I can crank the heat up high
for this one.

Oh, it smells so good!

Okay, now that this is boiling,

I'm gonna cover it up,
and I'll stick it in the oven,

and it's gonna braise
at 300 degrees for 2 1/2 hours.

When it's done, it's gonna
be fall-apart tender.

Bah!

Hey, guys!

Hey.
How's it going?

It's going good.

Hello, misses!

Hi!

she's been helping me
get all the movie stuff set up.

It looks amazing out here.

Well, supper is coming
right along.

It's gonna be delicious.
Okay.

I can't wait for you to eat
it and for you to smell it.

we can't wait.
Yeah.

Oh.
Okay, I'll leave you to it.

Bye.
Alright, see you.

Alright, I'm gonna
check on my pork.

Ohh...
It smells so smokey and good.

I'm gonna get it out
of the braising liquid,

and then I'm gonna shred it.

this is so tender,
it's basically falling apart.

I don't have to do much.

Now I'll just finish
shredding this up

and then prep all of
my toppings for the nachos.

I've got sliced red onion,
diced bell pepper,

chopped pineapple,
and sliced peperoncini.

Okay, now it's time to assemble.

And making nachos
is all about layering.

I hate it when nachos just have
the toppings on top

and then you're left
with a bunch

of undressed tortilla chips,

and so I like to do two layers
of everything

so that you get maximum
topping distribution.

I'm gonna start by layering
half of my corn chips

on the bottom of a skillet.

I'll get one even layer here,

and then I'm gonna layer
on some of my pulled pork,

but I'm first gonna mix it
with some barbecue sauce.

I'm using my go-to homemade
barbecue sauce,

but store-bought
will certainly work.

I'll mix this around.

And now I'll scatter
on half of my pulled pork.

Good, even distribution.

Now I'm gonna add
some peperoncini

for a little vinegary heat,

and chopped pineapple
will add great sweetness.

Now my red pepper.

These colors are so bright
and beautiful.

And my sliced red onion.

This will add a nice crunch.

Alright, and I'll drizzle on
a little more barbecue sauce...

And then some mozzarella

will melt and hold
everything together.

And you got to have cheese
on nachos.

What kind of cheese is it
when it isn't yours?

Not-cho cheese.

I'll let nick tell that joke
because he's the dad.

Alright, and now
I'm gonna do it all again.

So, the other half of my chips,
the remaining pulled pork...

This is like my dream --
this gigantic pile of nachos.

Look at the pop of that color.

I'll finish this up with
a little more barbecue sauce...

And the rest of my mozzarella.

Now I'll stick this in the oven
at 400 degrees

for about 10 minutes
until it's all melty

and hot and gooey and good.

oh, my goodness.

These look and smell amazing.

So ooey and gooey.

I don't think anybody's gonna
notice if I sneak a taste.

Mmm.

They're cheesy, they're smokey,
they're a little sweet,

and there's some chewy bits
and some crispy bits.

My family is gonna go crazy
for these.

Next, popcorn's out
and radishes are in.

It's so cute.

And you're not gonna want
to miss my quick

and easy trick
for smoking the butter.

This movie night menu is
about to get a major upgrade.

we're having an outdoor
movie night on the farm

and I'm making
some of my favorites

for a picnic
before the show.

Instead of buttered popcorn,

we're having buttered
radishes --

a classic combo,
only I'm upping the ante

by smoking the butter first.

And it's actually easier
than you think.

I've got some hickory wood chips

that I'm just gonna pour
into a pot.

No need to get a fancy
smoker here.

Now I'm gonna cover this
and heat it over medium high

until the wood chips
start to smoke.

And then I'll grab my butter.

Okay, so, I'm gonna use
my tinfoil to make little props

to prop up my bowl of butter
right inside of my pot.

I love this trick.

I used smoked butter
to make shortbread cookies,

to make frosting,
and it's a really nice way

to add smokey flavor
to things like steaks or fish.

Okay, I'm gonna check on
the wood chips now.

Ooh, yeah, that's smoking.

I'll just nestle in my balls
of foil.

Okay, and then I have my butter
here in a heat-safe bowl,

and I'll place this right
on top of the foil balls,

and now I'm gonna
cover this up -- not fully.

I want to leave a vent.

And in about half an hour,

I'll have some delicious
smokey-tasting butter.

See?
Easier than you thought.

I'm gonna check on my butter.

Oh, yeah.
Looks smokey -- smells smokey.

Okay, I'm gonna transfer this
to the freezer to firm up.

It only needs about 20 minutes.

While this cools,
I'll prep my radishes.

We grow radishes in my garden
every year,

and this is my favorite way
to eat them.

I leave a little bit
of the stem on

'cause that gives you
a little handle to dip,

and then I chop them in half.

The thing I love about radishes
is their crisp pepperiness.

They go so well with butter.

Okay, I'm gonna check
on my butter now.

It's mostly opaque,
which is what I want.

That means that it's firming up.

And I'm just gonna take
a small spatula

and stir it around
so that it's nice and smooth.

Nick always gets popcorn
when we go to the movies,

so I figured we've got to have

the butter element
in our movie night,

but because our radishes
looked so great in our garden,

we're gonna have the radishes
with the butter.

so, to plate this, I'm gonna
start with some artful plops.

Then I'm gonna do
some nice swoops,

and I want to give it
some texture.

Now I'm gonna add some little
piles of radishes all over --

just whatever looks good.

No rhyme or reason to it.

And the rest of the radishes
I'll serve on the side.

And then I'll just finish this
with some salt and pepper.

And I like the way
that the speckles

of the black pepper show
up on the radishes.

Well, it sure is prettier
than buttered popcorn.

Mmm.

There is the perfect amount
of smokiness in that butter.

These could totally
give buttered popcorn

a run for its money.

Still to come, I'll give these
candy bars a toss

into a salad
of my childhood dreams.

Who would've thought
that this could be a salad?

Then it's time to get
this show started.

Look at how little
she was there!

we're almost ready
for movie night,

and the family is so excited.

I just have to toss together
my candy bar salad.

I'll start by chopping up
my chilled candy bar.

I'm gonna cut it in half first.

I'm using my fancy pastry cutter
to cut it in half

so that it's perfectly even.

And now I'm gonna use a sharp
knife dipped in warm water

to help me get
clean cuts on these bars.

Oh, yeah.

mmm.
It's so good.

and now I'm gonna slice up
this other half

to just put out
for people to snack on.

now I'll grab my vanilla
pudding, whipped cream,

and apples and put
the candy bar salad together.

Now, in my big bowl here
with the pudding,

I'm gonna add most of
my whipped cream.

I'm gonna save some
for the topping,

and I'll fold this right in.

And this will make the pudding
so light and fluffy and airy.

Then I'll fold in my
chopped granny smith apples.

And these add such nice crunch
and much-needed sourness

as a nice contrast to
the sweetness of the candy bars.

Now let's toss this salad!

This has got to be
my new favorite salad.

It's got candy, it's got
pudding, it's got whipped cream.

Who would've thought that
this could be a salad?

This looks great.

Now I'm gonna scoop this
into individual jars,

I'll top it
with some whipped cream,

a candy bar,
and some sprinkles.

Alright, I think
they're ready for the show.

-This looks so good. Cheers!
-I know! It does.

I've got candy bar salads
for the movie, everybody.

-Ooh.
-Ah-ha.

-Yum.
-Come on up and dig in.

Oh, finger food.

There's nothing better
than finger food.

Wow.

-Molly, this is awesome.
-Thank you.

"a" for awesome.
What's all in here?

These are pulled pork nachos.

There's barbecue sauce,
mozzarella and peperoncini,

and there's pineapple
and some peppers and onions.

And chips, of course.

Molly, this dip
with the radishes is awesome.

It's smoked butter.

Smoked butter.
Yeah.

And I love the pineapple.

I love the sweet and the heat.

Go, bernie.

look, she holds the radish!

There's a radish.
Look, she's holding the radish.

Bah!

Are you gonna be left-handed?

Okay, dig into your candy
bar salads

because the movie
is about to begin.

-Oh, man.
-Yeah.

mmm.

Bernie, do you want
some candy bar salad?

You know what bernie wants?
She wants to start the movie.

Bernie wants to
start the movie.

Okay.
Alright.

Oh, man.
Bernie!

My all-time favorite
movie star.

Bernie-girl.
Look how little she was there.

-Grandbaby.
-Grandma roxanne.

-What, what, what?
-Ohh...

-Oh, my goodness.
-The first movie.

How she's changed.

She has already.

- Yes.
- Grandma reading.

Ooh, we're looking at the baby
in the mirror.

- Oh, the mirror?
- Look at that.

-Oh...
-Oh, sweetie.

Look at that smile.

-Aww...
-Love that.
