youtube of all-time "early" on this monday morning, july 19, youtube of all-time "early" on this monday morning, july 19, 2010. captioning funded by cbs and good morning, everyone. i'm erica hill in for maggie rodriguez on maternity leave. thank you for starting your week off with us this morning. >> good morning, everybody. i'm jeff glor, harry is down in the gulf. but first, sweating enough? >> it is a little warm. there's a fly buzzing around, too. it's a little warm out there. >> how the the first six months of the year on record, potentially the hottest year on record? it was like heat wave, then another heat wave that doesn't want to end. >> are you happy to be in the studio this morning where it is air-conditioned and not out in times square? we'll cover the heat in a minute. also, getting more information now out of the portland area where we are following the case of kyron horman, the missing 7-year-old. his stepmother has moved out of the house.

she shared it with kyron's father. as requested, he moved back in, she is headed down to where her parents live. we'll take a closer look at the developments in that story as well later this morning. first, to harry in grand isle, louisiana, this morning on the latest with the gulf oil spill. harry, good morning. >> reporter: hey, guys. good news down here is that the cap is still on the well and that means there's no new oil flowing into the gulf of mexico. it has been on there for a couple of days now. bp has made it quite clear they want to keep the cap on, but the government is concerned about anomalies below the well. and there's a bit of a tug of war going on right now whether or not to open it or keep it shut. kelly is here with the latest on that. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. ed that allen, the incident commander, has given bp another 24 hours to keep the cap on as long as they watch the well, test it and report back. for three days straight bp held back the oil and tested the

well. all looked good. so good bp said sunday that if the pressure levels held and they found no leaks, the well could stay closed. >> we are hopeful that if the encouraging signs continue we'll be able to continue the integrity test all the way to the point to get the well killed. >> reporter: yet bubbles are coming from a valve on a pipe. and in a letter to bob dudley sunday night, the government's man in charge, thad allen, said they found a possible leak some distance from the well. an undetermined problem at the wellhead. allen ordered bp to quickly investigate and report findings to the government along with a written procedure for opening the choke valve as quickly as possible. if the valve is reopened to relieve pressure, some oil would flow into the gulf again. when the gusher was capped last thursday, oil had been gushing nonstop for 85 days, 16 hours and 25 minutes. roughly 184 million gallons spilled.

and it reached 572 miles of shoreline from texas to florida. over the weekend, skimming boating and controlled burns aid away at the oil on top of the water. >> this particular map we use to show us the change from yesterday, which was in gray, the size and shape of the oil to today. >> so now you are saying it is shrinking? >> we are seeing it shrink. that's a wonderful feeling at this stage. >> reporter: this morning bp reported to investors that it has now spent nearly $4 billion on this spill. $207 million of that, harry, is in claims for damages. >> kelly, thank you so much, down here in grand isle. we want to shift our attention to carol brown, the former head of the epa and environmental advise tore the obama white house. good morning, ms. browner. >> good morning. >> talk to us about the anomaly. explain what thad allen is

concerned about below the blowout protector. >> well, there are three issues that have raised concern. again, we all want to see the well closed, and that's why monitoring will be so important, but the three issues we have asked for more information on, one involves a seep three kilometers from the well side. another involves bubbles that you showed in the pictures. the third is one of our own boats, the boat detected anomalies at the top of the sea above the wellhead. all of those will be investigated and they will continue to monitor and make that information available to us. and we will continue to analyze. and if we can leave the cap in place, obviously, we'll leave the cap in place. >> do you feel like you are getting sufficient information from bp? do you feel, basically, are they trustworthy enough to be able to rely on them to let them let you know whether or not the seepage that you're finding or concerned about is enough to shut it down or not?

>> well, the incident commander, admiral allen, has been very, very clear. there was a directive issued last night in terms of what is the information we need, what is the monitoring we need, et cetera, if we don't get those, then we'll have a problem. my understanding this morning is that bp will comply with all of our requests. >> one of the things that people talk about down here is that if they do take the cap off, you'll be able to measure once and for all how much oil has really come out of this blowout. and that means dollars and cents because for every barrel that has come out, bp has to pay for it. there's some concern down here that bp wants to keep the cap on because they that way no one will ever know how much the real amount of oil is that escaped. >> we will use all means necessary to determine how much oil has escaped and to use all legal tools available to us to ensure that bp is held

accountable and all appropriate fines are paid. but in the meantime, we want to make sure that if this cap is functioning properly, in the event it isn't and has to be reopened, people need to remember there are vessels to move in to contain the leaking oil. we have asked bp for a new plan on how quickly they can execute on those vessels. but we are going to be watching this very, very closely. as we have been from the beginning. >> sport fishing has opened in south louisiana. is there any move afoot to at least think about opening commercial fishing in the gulf coast again? >> well, the part of the government that looks at those issues, looks at them at a daily basis, at this point, as of this morning, there was no decision to change the closures, but obviously, if they think it is safe, we want to see people back out on the water. we'll make that decision. >> carol browner, thank you so much for your time this morning. we do appreciate it. we'll have a lot more from the gulf coast here in a little while.

as we said, sport fishing has opened up again. there are actually some guys down here at the marina getting ready to go out and take paying customers fishing down here. that hasn't happened in almost three months. we'll have a report on that in our next hour. right now back to jeff in new york. harry, thank you very much. now to the policering heat wave smothering the country right now. the 90-degree temperatures won't go away. cbs news correspondent elaine kihano is in times square with the latest. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, jeff. the forecasters are calling for yet another miserable round of intense heat this week. we certainly felt it here in new york city over the weekend where people who were racing in the triathlon, several of them had to be treated for heat-related ailments. now some of the temperatures when you look across the country, triple digits over the weekend. in fresno, california, 106. topeka, kansas, 103. miami beach, relatively cool, 91 degrees. nevertheless, scientists say

that the first six months of the year, january to june, really have been quite intense worldwide. the warmest ever on record meaning that 2010 could very well be the hottest year on record. there is, however, jeff, an up side to all of this. scientists say perhaps all this intense heat could mean above normal temperatures through october, possibly even november. so a little bit of a silver lining there. >> some good news months down the road. elaine in times square this morning, thank you very much. here's erica. the extreme heat can pose a health risk, so joining us with advice on how to stay school, dr. jennifer ashton. it is so important in weather like this because the minute you step out the door you start feeling the effects. >> exactly. when the humidity is greater than 75% and the temperature is above 90, our body just cannot cool itself by means of sweating. that's our main mechanism for letting heat evaporate.

and we just can't do it in this heat. >> we need to be proactive. the first and best thing to do is hydrate. >> exactly. the key is do not wait until you are thirsty. the second you are thirsty you are behind the eight ball. when you wake up in the morning, you have had eight hours, no intake of fluids. start hydrating. drink two to four glasses of liquid every hour that you are outside, which is one every 15 minutes. most importantly, avoid beverage that is containing alcohol, high contents of sugar or caffeine. and very cold drinks, just because it can give you stomach cramps. >> sugar drinks are energy drinks and sports drinks. >> mild activity outside, water is best. if you are working or heavy extrens you activity outside, you want to replace the electrolytes with a balanced sports beverage. >> heat-related injuries can be an issue people don't think about, so what are the three most common ones. >> it represents a spectrum of severity, and it can start with

something as childly mildly innocuous like heat cramps. that's something that would affect the arm, legs and give you cramps in your belly. when the heat index is above 90 degrees, and it is really the first indication that the body is starting to be compromised. treat it with basic rest inside in an air-conditioned environment and fluids, hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. >> can't get enough water. heat exhaustion. >> this is a moderate realm. this occurs after hours or days outside working or playing in this type of heat. most at risk, we hear this all the time, babies, children, those at camp and the elderly. really, the first signs are calamity skin, dizziness, act quickly to prevent it from worsening. >> and worsening could mean something like heatstroke. >> actually, this is a medical emergency known as sunstroke. anyone who is outside is at risk. you are going to see someone whose skin is flushed, they are not going to be able to sweat, so their skin is dry.

that's a medical emergency. get them to a hospital. >> jen, god to have you. for the rest of the headlines, we'll go to betly nguyen. >> good morning. strong winds are pushing a wildfire in central washington toward a group of 100 homes. the fire started yesterday afternoon about ten miles west of yakima. by last night, 10,000 acres had burned three homes and several smaller buildings were destroyed. firefighters are using firelines to direct the blaze away from the homes. quick moving thunderstorms and strong winds caused sit damage in the midwest. trees and powerlines were knocked down in western michigan and wisconsin yesterday. in iowa a marina was damaged and trees tossed into homes. and heavy rainfall is blamed for this 34-foot sinkhole in kansas city, missouri. a key highway ramp is closed causing all kind of problems for this morning's commute. later this morning, president obama is scheduled to talk about the economy from the rose garden.

secretary of state announced new aid programs. part of the $7.5 billion package designed to encourage pakistan to play its part in stopping the insurgency. >> the pakistani government has become very serious about fighting terrorism within their own borders and working with afghanistan and the united states to try to stabilize the region. >> reporter: there will be no new american aid offer from afghanistan this time. instead the focus will be on how the afghan government is spending the billions it is already receiving. but the real challenge here is still the battle with insurgency that isn't letting up. the u.s. is sending thousands of troops into taliban tronk strongholds and the number of casualties is rising at an alarming rate. the question is whether the surge will be enough to turn the tide here with a troop pullout on the calendar for next year.

betty? >> all right, mandy clark in kabul, thank you, mandy. chelsea clinton's wedding is set for the end of this month, and her mother was asked about it during her stop in pakistan. she said her motherly duties come first. >> when i come back in a week, i will do nothing but prepare for the wedding. >> secretary clinton added that as the mother of the bride, she could not be happier. now i have not gotten my invite just yet. we'll check in with dave price to see if he's gotten his. i would assume with the heat it is an indoor wedding. >> weapon don't know, but if it is outdoors, we hope it is a tent with air-conditioning. 43 states yesterday has temperatures over 90 degrees. that tells you how widespread the heat is. now, again n the northeast stretching from new england all the way down to let's say sections of delaware, you are going to see the potential for severe weather today.

"early show" correspondent hattie kauffman reports. >> reporter: lindsay lohan is one day away from her prison sentence but she's reportedly expense the last four days here, at a drug rehab facility founded by her new lawyer, robert shapiro. he lost his son brent to a drug overdose five years ago. shapiro, former o.j. simpson attorney, says he only agreed to take on lohan's case if she agrees to reported to jail and comply with the terms of her probation. in a statement he says, ms. lohan is suffering from a disease that i am all too

familiar with. hopefully i can be of assistance. analysts say his involvement may reduce her sentence. >> i think shapiro will say to the judge, look, judge, you know how dedicated i am to rehab. let's see if we can get her through rehab. that's going to fix her and help the community more than just throwing her in jail. >> reporter: lohan will soon be confined to an eight by ten foot jail cell where she'll spend 22 hours of her day alone. rehab experts say jail can be the shock an addict needs. >> a typical addict has a system of how they function in a pathological way. and jail can interrupt that process. >> reporter: no matter how much help lindsay get from her attorney, experts agree that the person most responsible for her recovery is herself. hattie kauffman, cbs news, los angeles. >> and joining us now is brad lamm, board registered interventionist and the author of "how to change someone you love." as we heard from hattie, her new attorney agreed to represent her

if she does her jail time. but new reports on tmz she still thinks she does not have to go to jail tomorrow. >> conditions, conditions, conditions. >> when you hear that, what does that tell you about the place where she is right now? >> it doesn't surprise me in that someone gets wiggly because that's the nature of addiction, is no is yes and yes is no and you don't know until the last minute if someone will follow through with either of those words. so, is this place the right place for her right now? look, i think it's better by far than her being on the street, out at clubs at 3:00 a.m., 4:00 a.m., 5:00 a.m. is it the appropriate place, perfect world for someone in active addiction? no. it's loose programming. trans tran stigsal living. we call it after-car. i was surprised by it. there were times we have taken a client into the best we can do because you can't get a yes right now. >> it's better than nothing. >> but inc. the next 24 hours

will be really critical, not only in terms of, will she show up but will she be okay? >> in terms of being okay, in terms of going into jail, all signs indicate she'll go to jail tomorrow, what's that going to be like for her? >> well, it's going to be a big change, that's for sure. even from where she is now, a beautiful, well-appointed loft to an eight by ten jail cell. for the most part, she'll be by herself. it's very -- this is very important. lynnwood is nicotine free, so no intrets. she's a two-pack a day smoker. i was that way when i went into rehab. that was the biggest adjustment going into rehab for many people. i'm saying jail is similar to rehab in that it's a very big change from what she's doing now, which is a zoo-like lifestyle. >> is it ultimately something that can be good for her? >> absolutely. i love the idea of her being safe and slightly sound. and also once she goes in, the medication that she's on now

will not be in her possession. it will be with a meds nurse. what they do and after she might change that after a psych/social, we'll see. without a doubt, this is a good step. >> and that could set her up for the next step, rehab. >> the big piece, finally consequences to her behavior are coming to the surface. for so long we haven't seen any connection between the behavior, the dangerous behavior, and some real consequences. >> now you're seeing that. we've heard so much about the fact there's a strong belief she's addicted to prescription medication. give me an idea, what is the danger of prescription drugs versus street drugs or alcohol? >> that's a great question. for so many families it's one they hear. it's from a doctor, this drug or that drug and they think, oh, my god, says it's imperative she's on it. ten years ago people were saying that about oxycontin. the same goes for adderle and ritalin. they're highly addictive. if you're a person prone to

addiction, you have to be really careful about being on those drugs. i don't even take ambien as a person that's clean and sober. it's a slippery slope. >> we wish her luck.

>> good morning, jeff. >> so, this is your most important piece of travel advice. >> the most important when it comes to travel and luggage, that is, only two kind of airline bags, carry-on and lost. that's it. >> it's a pain, because you pay to check them. they can lose them. but even if they don't lose them, it takes a long time to get them. >> it's worse than that. you pay to check them. if you lose them, you don't get any money back either. they don't give you a refund. >> in the meantime they charge you when you first check them in. let's talk about how much they're charging these days. >> in the first quarter of this year alone, the u.s. airlines racked up $769 million just in checked bag fees. that's called ancillary revenue. boy, are they raking it in. >> they're charging you for the first bag. they're charging you for the second bag even more. if you go beyond that -- >> let's go through the numbers. most u.s. airlines will charge you $25 for the first bag and then $35 for the second bag. so, now let's really do the math here if you're a family of four, that's $480, assuming everybody

has two bags, each way, just to check your bags. >> so, everybody agrees the best possible way to travel, if you can, is take everything on board. but if you need more luggage, which a lot of people do because it's a longer trip, what do you do? >> first of all, what people are tryinging to do, they think if they have a bag with weelz they can get it on the praen. airlines are cracking down. what i do and more than eight years now is i courier my bags. >> ship them? >> i ship them. there's fedex, u.p.s., 15 other services that do door to door courier service. >> how much planning involved? the hotel has to accept the bags. >> first of all, i'm going to presume you know where you're going. >> not always. >> not always. >> but siming you doshgs you do four day advance on fedex on ground and for $19 more than what the airline wants to charge you to lose your bag tshg goes door to door. let's do the actual math when it

comes to time. >> 45 bucks, on average. >> on average. let's do the math in terms of time. i don't have to schlep my bags to the airport. don't have to stand in line. i don't have to go to the tsa and check them in there. i'm not in baggage claim trying to get pie bags and hoping they're on the same plane as i am. i'm stuck in traffic. i save 2 1/2 hours by not checking a bag. >> fedex ever lost your bag? >> twice. once when there was a snowstorm in memphis. the second time when there was a snowstorm in member memphis. i do this, this. get a wrapper they give you, put it in like this, wrap it around, take the top off and, boom, they come to your house, it's gone. >> actually, we have to run. good advice. >> that will be $25. >> i'll ship next time. good to see you. we're back right after this. i feel like i have to wind myself up just to get out of bed.

and they're all things associated with addiction. >> these are real -- this is a real serious addiction which you say is right up there, similar to a cocaine addiction. >> we put 15 people who had just been rejected into a brain scanner. and we found activity in a brain pathway that is exactly the same brain pathway that becomes effected when you're profoundly addicted to cocaine and nicotine addictions. brain regions associated with intense romantic love, physical pain and deep attachment. so, you're craving this person. you're madly in love with him. deeply attached to him. you're in physical pain. and you are obsessed with somebody. >> physical pain can make you act out and do certain things. how does it influence your behavior specifically. >> i do think that you can't get to work. you can't get to sleep. you don't eat. you drink too much, you drive too fast. you know, you can be dangerous to yourself and to everybody around you. >> are there any sort of p

parameters to knowing when you've crossed the line from love sick to a true addiction, which can cause a number of problems for you and others? >> sure. you can slip into clinical depression and not get out of bed. you cannot get to work. you don't call your family or your friends. you show up at the gym where he is or she is. you know, do you all kinds of inappropriate things. so, of course, you know, the thing is to treated it as the addictions. >> there is no love rehab. how do you actually treat it? >> i think you've got to -- don't lie in bed. somebody's camping in your head. don't lie around and ruminate about what went on. go out with friends. get hugs. that drives up octiony toesen in the brain. get exercise, drives up dopamine in the brain and makes you feel better. don't call, don't write, don't be anywhere near this person. if you're going to take any kind of antidepressants, get off them as soon as you can.

wanted me to help him find his cell phone. he was like, yeah, yeah. he didn't care. >> when you decided to make it into a book, on "the new york times" best sellers list, then what was his reaction? >> he was actually really, really happy for me. he doesn't have the internet in his house so it's not -- >> why am i not surprised. sorry, go ahead. >> so it's not like it's in front of his face all the time. >> and then what's the reaction he's been getting from people like neighbors, friends, you know, reading some of the ridiculous but hilarious things that he has said in his life? >> you know what, he doesn't get a lot of that except he gets like 50% off had pizza place he goes to every day, so he's pretty happy with that. >> so you're a hero then. >> yeah. >> what's his reaction, what's your reaction to william shatner playing him. i've never met your dad but shatner is hysterical in this role. >> mr. shatner is the closest thing to my father i've ever

met. he is fant. >> did you have any say in the casting? did you have suggestions? >> yeah, i had some suggestions. i sort of weighed in but, yeah, we were just so lucky to get him. >> and i understand your dad got to meet william shatner? >> yeah. he was at the pilot taping and everybody wanted them to take a picture together so they walked up and it was like two older gentlemen that didn't care about meeting the other person. so, they come and meet and he says hello and mr. shatner says hello, they take a picture and just walk away in opposite directions and that was it. >> did everybody think it was hysterical, except for william shatner and your dad? >> yeah. it was like everyone laughing except for those two guys. >> oh, my goodness. what happens from here on out? i know what's going on in the fall. what is your role? >> i'm a writer on the show. so, yeah, we're just working hard in the writer's room to make it as funny and as close to true life as possible. >> that was your dream. you were a struggling writer

living at home when this happened. >> absolutely so. it's absolutely a dream come true. >> we cannot wait to watch it. justin halpern, thank you so much and congratulations on your success. >> thanks for having me. >> you're welcome. to read an excerpt, go to earlyshow cbsnews.com. and "[ bleep ] my dad says" premieres right here on cbs. now back to new york and erica. >> thanks. during the summer, you know it's all about the shades, but do you really have to pay a lot to get great sunglasses? "early show" consumer correspondent susan koeppen is here with some answers. i mean, it's about how they look but thard supposed to protect your eyes, too. >> that's key. a $5 pair off the street or a $200 pair of versace glasses. which has more uv protection? we went sunglass shopping and then had them all tested.

>> reporter: more than 100 million sunglasses were sold in the u.s. last year alone. no doubt about it, sunglasses can make a fashion statement. >> i just buy them because of how they look. >> reporter: but their function is to protect our eyes from harmful uv rays which can lead from everything from cataracts to skin cancer of the eyelid. if you're buying a $5 pair of sunglasses, do you think they have uv protection? >> reporter: we wanted to find out if that was true. we bought 31 pair of sunglasses ranging in price from $5 to $300. some came from street veteran tors, some from drug stores -- >> polarizing uchl v definitely over 100. >> reporter: and some from expensive establishments. >> i would say all, 100%. >> reporter: all glasses claimed to have excellent uv protection. >> it's very, very important. it's like you wouldn't go to the beach without putting sunblock on your body. >> dr. mike warner runs this eye

center in new york city where we brought all of the glasses to be tested. if this machine reads zero or one, it means our glasses have 99 or 100% uv protection, which is considered excellent. these were 100 bucks. no surprise with our expensive pair. >> 100% uv protection. >> reporter: all right. same goes for our pair that was $55. >> 100% uchl v protection. mou see what happens when we test the cheaper sunglass, the ones from the drugstore and off the street. the results may surprise you. >> 100%. 100% uv protection. excellent protection. perfect, 100% uv protection. >> of the 31 glasses we tested -- >> nope, these are not safe. >> only one got a failing grade. it seems like it's hard to find bad glasses. >> it's hard to find glasses that don't give you good uv protection but not impossible. you don't know until you get them checked. ♪ go get yourself cheap

sunglasses ♪ >> reporter: if you're spending hundreds of dollars on sunglasses, what are you getting, if not better protection? >> you're buying style. which is fine. you don't have to spend a lot to get a good pair of sunglasses but you can't always trust the label. >> and these are the sunglasses that failed that uv test. the doctor told us thees these are actually worse for your eyes than wearing no sunglasses at all because of the tint. it will cause your pew pills to dilate, letting in more uv light than if you were just squinting. >> the million dollar question is, since they all have that label that says 100% uchl v protection, how do i know they do? >> you don't until you get them tested with something like this, which you can get at your eyeglass shop. you can go in and have your eye doctor test your glasses. we talked about the cheapy $5 glasses off the street compared to the $200 designer frames, these are the exact same protection. the versace, getting a better

name, brand -- >> so if you're those who buy the $5 sunglasses -- >> don't feel gity about it appear thanks. i love this segment. time for jeff glor, i believe and a little reworking of the man food. >> yes, we're doing man food this morning, something deep fried served with beer usually. usually not the healthy choice on the menu, which is why allison fishman, chef at "cooking light" is here to show us how to lighten up a little bit. we don't want to ruin the guy diet. >> i promise. >> i promise, julie, we won't have is suck the life out of it. >> look at this plate of nachos, gorgeous, you want to dive this-n that, right? we're keeping the creaminess, keeping the heat, the salt, the spice, the chips, we're getting ready of things we don't need and don't taste anywhere.

this is a pinto beans hoer -- >> fresh beans instead of refried beans you buy in a can. >> right. i made these fresh. we have chipotles in here. jump right in. we have chile powder. we have lime juice. what do you think? >> yeah, you like it? >> yes. >> good. this will give the cream kraemness because you are that good kraemness. there we go with our bean. now, we've got pork tenderloin. >> not ground beef because this is a little better for us. >> exactly. >> pork is still manly. >> yes. i agree with you. so, this is really good. i shredded this pork. i've got garlic on it. i have all kinds of good spices. again, a little bit of that lime juice. yes, please, go right ahead. >> cheese, keys. any particular kind of cheese you prefer on there? >> lower fat choose, reduced fat cheddar, something that will melt and be nice. we're not doing egregious amount of cheese but just enough to get

it going. we pop this under the broiler. >> that's in there for how long? >> it's in the broiler until it melts, which is about five minute. >> and voila. >> there we go. what's better than that? >> looks very good. it looks unhealthy but not as unhealthy as it could be. >> we have a nice, lean pork. these beans have zero farther. >> we are not done yet. >> we have onion, avocado, tomato, hikma. we're going to put that on top. this is instead of the little tomato or salsa you put on top, this is much more flavorle. delicious, onions, spicy -- >> love the avocado. it's great. >> hit it with cilantro. >> cilantro is the key, right? now, a little more spice on there. pick in cilantro with the pork dpo we have thinly sliced jalapeños.

the pickled jalapeños. something i like about this -- >> that's a lot of cilantro. >> you're a man, you can have what you want. >> there you go. >> what's next? onion rings. this is a big one. some people consider onion rings for their vegetable for the day, that is true. >> even if they're deep fried. >> we. you to have the food you want to have. these are beer-battered onion rings. you can use a darker beer, which will give it more beer flavor. this is the batter, flow flour, egg and beer. here's your onion ring. put it right in. spin it around. >> soak it in there nice. now, the key to this is how you're cooking it. you have a thick batter. it goes in a deep fryer it will soak up a lot of fat. we don't want to do it. we're cooking all these onion rings in just a table and a half

of oil. >> we're trying a bit but just not dunking it down in the deep fries. >> so, we'll do two minute on each side, transfer them to a tray like this. go ahead, you put yourself in there. nicely done. >> thank you. >> transfer them to a dra like this, coat it with the nonstick spray which helps give it a golden color. >> put it in the oven for ten more minute and out they come. >> there we go. plus, you have a little more onion -- i can try one of these? >> absolutely. >> exactly. you don't just want batter and fry. >> good stuff. >> good stuff? >> very good stuff. >> so, next we're sebing this with a burger. anything you notice? >> smaller. >> nice and packed. it's a beef burger. not the turkey burger. we're using sirloin, a little leaner cut. now, of course, man food, you

want your meet and potatoes, right? >> we have our nice t bone steak. drilling the potatoes. we have sweet potatoes. >> grilled potatoes, awesome. nice way to mix it up. one more thing here, right? >>. >> you kinney sticks and romesco. roasted red pepper, almond, olive oil. delicious. >> would you like to try some this is. >> yes, exactly. you still have that cheese but it's not relevant, it's almost irveg rant. allison fisherman, heated to our website earlyshow cbsnews.com. ,,

there. these guys are masters, artists when they clean these fish, huge fish. it's amazing. such good stuff. >> yeah, they put it -- they put us to shame. the fact is that this is such a part of life here, just being able to go out after a hard day's work and drop a line in and pick up a couple of fish. this water is open again, just for sport fishing, is a huge deal. but folks here, this story is far, far from over. >> far from over but so good to finally -- great to have a little good news finally. >> a little normalcy coming back. >> harry, thanks. have a great day, everyone. stay tuned. your local news is next. ,,,,,,
