5:42 am
pectoral or flukes against the surface of the water, and that's all communication among the dolphins. >> dolphins have something in we both time in... schools. >> yeah, so, "schools" is the term that we use when dolphins hang out together in big social groups.d a pod of dolphins. and it can be a different range of numbers, anywhere as few as about 10 or 12 to as big as a couple of hundred dolphins at a time.has an extra-special meaning for these dolphins. they get lessons. first, they're taught by following a pole.o respond to hand signals. and that's how the trainers guide them through their show. carolina introduced me to thes maya and chesapeake, and chesapeake's daughter, bayley. >> we're gonna go ahead, and we're gonna meet maya first. >> all right. >> okay? so, i want you to come down nextatever is the most comfortable for you.

>> nicole's in the kitchen getting some tips from an expert, chef johnny prep.ing how to make a mean guacamole. >> so, i'm particularly excited about this, because i love guacamole. so, what's first?we got to talk about avocados, 'cause, basically, guacamole is predominantly avocados.
5:49 am
is you buy as perfectly ripe asget or buy them underripe and let them ripen at your home. 'cause, you know, if it's not ripe, it's too hard, it doesn't make good guacamole. brown and yucky looking and it just doesn't make good guacamole. so, you really want to kind of feel. so, it's just -- just soft. it doesn't want to be real soft, but just soft.kly and stuff -- that's too ripe. if it's too hard, that's underripe. just a little pinch. these are in pretty nice shape. and then what you got to do --ur knife, okay? but you want to cut it in half, okay? >> remember, you always need your parents' permission before you use a knife.my knife and put it between my fingers like this and then just -- >> so, you don't want your fingers anywhere near it. >> that's exactly right.rotate it. once you get your cut in, you can just rotate it like that. >> okay. >> and it cuts it right around the pit. and then you just twist it and open it up.n and soft? yeah. >> now, there's different ways
5:50 am
a lot of chefs will take a knife.uacamole, okay, where it's gonna end up being smashed up anyway, you can just take it and squeeze it and pop it out. >> [ chuckles ] >> okay? that's an easy way to do it. >> okay.can also just take a spoon and just... >> scoop everything out? >> ...scoop right out like that. now, if the avocados are a little bit firmer, sometimes if you take them and you just rollyou cut them, it actually makes them nice and soft and mushy, too. >> so, i should roll it? >> yeah, just roll it gently. see how it softens up? >> oh, yeah.oesn't it? for you. >> [ chuckles ] >> all right, so, i'm gonna let you go ahead and finish off knocking off those avocados. talk about how to cut an onion, because basic guacamole is gonna be just avocado with some limealt, okay? >> mm-hmm. >> and a little bit of pepper. that's it. that's traditionally how it's served. it up and make it more flavorful by adding some tomato and some jalapeo
5:51 am
you can also put some finely diced onion in it. a technique for cutting an onion. now, this is a nice, refrigerated onion, which is a cool thing. 'cause you know how onions kind of can make you cry? you know? >> right. i don't like chopping onionske me cry. >> everybody says that. if you refrigerate them, it makes them less likely to do that. >> mm-hmm. very edge of a knife. and remember how i showed you? we're gonna rotate the onion. instead of pushing the knife, we're gonna just pull it in and out. >> mm-hmm. that part right there. we're going to leave the root end attached at the back and cut it right in half. now, see that?-- i put the flat side that i cut immediately down. because that's the side with the juice that's gonna burn your eyes. >> okay. >> okay? now, this is already kind ofike it's got a little bit of a harder surface on it, so i'm gonna take that outer layer off. 'cause sometimes that's not nice. all right. so, now i have a half of and back here.
5:52 am
knife, and i'll put little slits through it like this. almost to the back, but not cutting all the way through. >> mm-hmm.t. when i get to the other side, i turn it so i'm not cutting down a round slope into my hand. >> mm-hmm. that would be bad.e cut like that across. and then all you have to do -- it goes into a perfect dice... >> mm. wow. >> ...just like that.looks. >> see? you're not crying, are you? >> no, i'm not. but i'm all the way over here. >> all right. so, we got our avocados going here. why don't you get one more inhe rest of this made up. >> all right. i'm working on it. >> you're doing great with that. you were meant to work in a kitchen. i can tell that. >> [ chuckles ] i'm trying here.ful. >> there we go. >> see that little dark thing right there? >> mm-hmm. >> you want to pull that out. >> okay. >> okay? >> is this also part of that? >> that's just a little skin. out right there. and then you just take a fork and you just mash it. okay? >> mm-hmm. >> now, avocados are gonna turn brown on you really quick. for it. it's kind of a fancy term.
5:53 am
how do you prevent that? >> well, you add some acid to it, and traditionally in mexico,and they just squeeze limes in it. >> mm-hmm. >> some people will tell you if you leave the seed in it, it keeps it from browning, and that does work a little bit. and restaurants will actuallyur cream. >> ooh. >> and the sour cream not only keeps it from turning color, it actually gives it a little lighter, brighter color. and it adds a little more flavor to it.estaurant trick. >> huh. >> okay? okay, i'm gonna season this with just a little bit of sea salt. >> mm-hmm.e it's got some minerals in it. it's got a little bit more flavor. >> mm-hmm. >> we're gonna put just a little bit of it. we're gonna sprinkle it in there so we don't put too much in. and we're gonna add some diceder. so, i don't necessarily need to add the fresh-ground black pepper. so, i'm gonna put that -- finely diced without the seeds, so they're not too hot.it of cilantro in there. i'm gonna put a little bit of finely diced tomato in there. >> all right. here's our last little bit of... >> last one? okay. let me get that off the spoon ado. all right.
5:54 am
>> here's the last little bit left. there we go. >> okay. we're gonna put some finely diced onion in here. okay?w we dress up our avocado? >> that's how we dress up our guacamole. we got to kind of put a tuxedo on it. >> [ chuckles ] >> just got some fancy guacamole here.black-tie event. >> it is. this is like black-tie guacamole here. it makes it a little bit brighter. you'll see. it adds a little more complexity to it. >>thickness to it. >> oh, it does. and, you know, avocados are so healthy for you. it's one of the few fruits that actually have a healthy saturated fat in it. >> mm-hmm.'ve got your tomatoes in here. i mean, this is a nice, healthy dish. and it's filling. here you go. dip some in there and try it. see what you think.d. >> nice and fresh with the tomatoes and the cilantro and the onions in there. can you taste it all? >> mmm! mm-hmm. kind of rocking it up a little bit.eally good! >> there you go. >> thanks, chef johnny. >> my pleasure. >> guacamole has become very
