Adam: Okay! Hey, Das! How are you doing? Das: What's going on? I'm well! How are you? Adam: Good! I'm excited! Adam to the Camera: For the centerpiece of the new table, I have this great idea to core some red apples, put some little buds in there. Easy, inexpensive, simple. Das: Presentation is everything. So we're going to take these beautiful, red, delicious apples. Janet: Okay. Das: Some nice flowers, here. So, we're gong to take this knife, get the tip of it. So what we're doing is really just coring this little centerpiece out. We're making a little vase. Janet: Okay. Das; So, once we get this out, we're gonna just pop that out, just like that. Janet: Oh, my goodness. Okay. Das: Core it out just a little bit. Now, oxidation is basically when air hits anything- Janet: Turns it brown- Das: Turns it brown, right. To stop that oxidation we're using a little bit of lemon and just squeeze it in. Just poke a couple little holes in there. Janet: Okay. Das: And that's going to be for our flowers. Janet: Oh! Das: So we'll put that and go...look how cute that is. You can do like one or two. Janet: Oh, that is colorful. Das: Here you are! Let's go for it. Janet: I know you said the tip of the knife. Das: Mmm hmm. Turn it...look at that. Some lemon juice in there. Janet: Alright, okay. Das: Take your knife, poke just a little bit of hole, don't go too deep down. This arrangement here, like I said it's beautiful, it's really creative. I'm sure a lot of people haven't seen apples used this way. It probably will only last two or three hours. Janet: Okay. Das: But it's perfect for, you know, any engagement. How's that look to you? Janet: Talk about simple and easy. Das: Hey, that's we're all about is making your life simple. Janet: I like it! Cool! Thanks, Das! Das: No problem. That's what we're here for.
