largest city, freeport >> the water is about 6 feet. >> reporter: after leaving the eastern island of abaco in absolute ruin. >> it is disheartening we're fighting a war with the enemy having all the weapons at its disposal >> reporter: the storm's relentless advance lifting cars. >> complete devastation. look at the cars, man. >> reporter: flooded streets and waves inside people's homes. >> literally in the ocean. >> reporter: in this incredible video -- >> this is deep ocean in our yard. >> reporter: freeport resident dave mackie reports the storm surge swirling around his home, now an island. the waters still rising. >> just pray for us, that the water does not rise up anymore >> reporter: the nation's prime minister aware that many are stranded on grand bahama. >> as the weather lifts, and we can mobilize teams into those

areas and bring relief to them >> reporter: on monday, the government announcing at least three people dead on abaco with rescue operations under way. american coast guard choppers assisting in the rescue. despite the damage and loss of life, the prime minister says there was one thing the storm cannot and will not take away. >> we are a resilient nation, a hopeful nation we work together for the families in isolation. >> reporter: so far, coast guard tells us they've medevaced 19 people from marsh harbour or abaco island here to the hospital in nassau, where they'll start receiving medical treatment, and guys, those rescue efforts are ongoing as we speak.savannah, hoda, back to yo >> morgan chesky, thank you. with dorian dangerously close to the u.s., many in the southeast are watching for the storm's arrival. craig is right there in jupiter, florida, for us. craig, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, my friend here's the thing, folks in

florida have been preparing for dorian for almost a week now evacuations, of course, have been ordered businesses have been shuttered a lot of concern here about complacency. officials are warning, this is no time to let your guard down this morning, hurricane dorian is crawling closer to the u.s. mainland >> the anxiety levels are really high >> reporter: local mayors telling us residents are taking this monster storm seriously >> our preparation has been, i think, top notch >> the people who were advised to get out of the evacuation zones, by and large, did they heed the warnings? >> all indications seem to be yes. however, our biggest concern at this point, since the storm is moving so slow, is that complacency will set in. >> reporter: in costal communities along the southeast, an exodus is under way >> i'm worried about the flooding at this point >> reporter: more than a million people on the move from florida through georgia and south carolina, driven by mandatory evacuations.

savannah, georgia's, mayor urging residents to go while they still can. >> doesn't take but one time to lose your life. >> reporter: south carolina's governor insisting no one should wait toll to evacuate. >> predictions have wind, water, hurricane, going one way or the other, nobody knows. so be safe. >> reporter: residents of low-lying charleston not taking chances, already boarding up and stocking up on sandbags to hopefully keep dorian's expected storm surge at bay back in florida, getting out by air is getting harder. airports in ft. lauderdale, west palm beach, and orlando all shut down more than 120 shelters filling up with people who decided it is just too dangerous to risk riding out the powerful storm at home >> i'm more scared about this one than i've ever been one in florida before. >> reporter: dozens of medical facilities and nursing homes in the storm zone rushing patients to higher ground and power crews are staged and ready to roll. along with 4,500 members of

florida's national guard. >> so this is a board that's going to give us a live feed. >> reporter: if the storm hits west palm beach, new state of the art technology will pinpoint where help is needed. >> the pictures they take and the information they write down, we're going to get live time, so we can start pushing resources to them quickly. >> obviously, there is the fear that people will look at the storm track and think, well, maybe i don't have to leave. are there other things local officials are really worried about? >> reporter: two things primarily. one, as you can see, the winds here have started to pick up. when those winds pick up, of course, trees come down and so do power lines. there's a tremendous amount of concern about power outages. also, storm surge, as well, as al reminds us from time to time. that's always one of the major concerns in storms like this, when the winds meet the high tides. you have storm surge that really wreaks havoc. in addition to folks not heeding the evacuation warnings, guys, one of the concerns is that folks will start to return to

their homes and businesses before local officials give them the okay. >> craig, thank you very much. >> a lot of people want to know where the storm is headed. al is in the with the track. >> that's been the frustrating thing. it has been stationary almost 24 hours. this live radar, including our wtvj station in miami. you can see right now that the western end of this is raggedy looking. the dry air is weakening the storm. here is the latest as we put this in motion. you can see we are looking at showers and thunderstorms now wrapping around this system. the latest locator from the national hurricane center, it is 110 miles east/northeast of west palm beach, florida, 120 miles per hour winds, and it is stationary. here's the latest as far as the watches and warnings. we've got hurricane warnings now from jacksonville and just north of there all the way down just south of west palm beach and

inland we've got tropical storm warnings as well as the hurricane warnings continue through the bahamas. here's the track, by tomorrow morning it's a category three storm with 120 miles per hour winds. it runs along the coast. by wednesdayr thursday morning, it's along between savaah and charleston, and those winds will be bringing in that storm surge, and then by friday morning it's just off the coast of north carolina and then continues to rocket on through and out into the atlantic, but just south of boston there within that cone of uncertainty. why has it been so slow? look at this between friday and saturday, 250 miles, 210 miles between saturday and sunday: by monday it had traveled 140 miles, and then takes a look at what happens. it just kind of comes grinding to a halt between monday and today only 20 miles. why? high pressure has been dominating pushing dorian rapidly west, that high pressure's beeing and there's been nothing to pick it up until this trough of low pressure and jet stream picks it up theoretically and shoots it out.

but until that happens, we still have to worry about everybody within that cone, especially along the southeastern atlantic coast until it gets picked up and finally starts its forward movement, which we expect later today, guys. al, thank you. the other big story we're following this morning, that horrific fire on a dive boat off the sohe california coast. overnight, a somber update. search and rescue crews have located the bodies of even more passengers. nbc's gadi schwartz joins us from the harbor with the latest on this. hi gadi, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, savannah, this was the home port for that 75 foot boat, the conception. it was usually berthed right here in this harbor. instead today we've got a memorial with candles, people leaving flowers overnight. the dive community here leaving a flower. just off the way here, you can see there are two sheriff's boats there getting ready to go out and assist with the recovery effort, but the loss of life out

here absolutely staggering. 25 people dead, another nine people that are still lost and presumed missing. all of them presumed to have been trapped underneath the bottom deck of that boat, and the only people that were able to make it out alive were five members of the crew that were able to escape in a small inflatable raft. this morning witnesses are still in shock, this chilling call for help heard over an emergency radio. the 75 foot diving vessel, the conception going up in flames early monday morning off the coast of california's channel islands. >> it's just horrendous. i mean, i can't imagine, you know, those poor people had to have been just a horror. >> bob hanson had been sleeping aboard his boat, the great escape when he heard banging on the side of his hull. >> i hear somebody pounding on the boat and yelling, i open the door and the five guys are there

in their dinghy, they're asking me to help them and their boat is just, you know 400 yards away fully engulfed. >> four crew members and the captain of the conception managed to escape the inferno, but underneath the deck were 33 passengers and another crew member believed to be asleep when the fire broke out. >> did they say anything about their passengers? >> they said all of them were underneath. they told me then that there was another exit but that that exit was also blocked. >> so there were two ways out? >> yeah. >> >> but both of them were blocked? >> both of them were blocked. >> reporter: the boat's location made it difficult for responders to reach, the coast guard calling all boats nearby to help. >> any vessels in the area that can lend any assistance, please do so. >> could you guys hear anybody calling for help, or was it silent? >> silent. except the sound of the fire. >> reporter: the coast guard says prior inspections show the conception in full compliance with safety regulations. >> this is probably the worst-case scenario you could possibly have. >> reporter: photos show the

cramped sleeping quarters below deck. >> i could see holes that there was fire on the other side of that window. >> and that's where the people were? >> yeah, yeah. >> reporter: this morning as the grim search for the missing continues, many are praying for a miracle, but officials are preparing for the worst. >> i think we all should be prepared to move into the worst outcome. >> reporter: now, so far authorities have not released any of the names of the victims. they are still working on notifying next of kin. however, we did ask the captain of the great escape about what those crew members said about the passengers underneath. they were absolutely inconsolable. the captain said that they -- that one of the men said that his girlfriend was trapped below deck. another said that they had just celebrated the birthdays of three different passengers underneath the night before.

one of them was a 17-year-old girl who was on a scuba diving trip with her family. still, no word on what may have caused all of this, but the ntsb has sent a team of 16 to assist in this investigation. last night a scare that sent passengers running from the terminal >> don't run too fast. >> the panic was sparked by a flight attendant who became nervous after a conversation with a couple of passengers. more than 150 people fled the area some even left their luggage behind after a few minutes the passengers were allowed back into the terminal. it was determined there was no threat all passengers and employees were rescreened as a precaution. you guys want to talk tennis >> of course we do. >> another exciting day at the u.s. open right here in new york we're going to start with the big upset, though, the women's

defending champion, naomi osaka going for 11th consecutive win at the open dating back to last year, but it was switzerland's belinda bencic it was 7-5, 7-6. three-time open champ rafael nadal, look who was there to cheer on rafael, none other than golfer tiger woods. >> stop. >> yeah, the 15-time major champion just getting pumped as nadal, who was really killing it on the match there after it was over nadal said he's never really had idol, but if he had to pick one, it would be tiger can you imagine? >> the pressure. >> you look up in the stands and there's tiger rooting you on. >> i think my palms would be sweating it would be the end of the match for me. >> coming up, there's another player at the open, i watched so much tennis on my time off. >> this russian player, daniil medvedev, a bit of a bad boy of tennis, but it's working for him at the open. we'll talk about how he's kind

of embracing that role of villain. >> i want to watch him play. >> mr. roker >> she's here. >> hi. >> look at that face >> oh, oh. all right, let's show you what we have happening for you around the rest of the country. some severe storms pushing their way through the great lakes. we've got things finally cooling off up through the plains. sunshine continues in the pacific northwest and heavy rain through southern texas plenty of sunshine through the mississippi river valley into the mid-atlantic states and here in the northeast we're going to get to your local forecast coming up in the next hoda seconds i mean 30 seconds. right now. with one financial advisor per office, we're all about knowing what's important to you the one who matters. edward jones. it's time for investing to feel individual. good morning. i'm meteorologist kari hall. as you get ready to head out,

san francisco, the golden gate bridge, low visibility as you come in to san francisco and our temperatures reach into the upper 60s, there with some upper 70s in oakland. san jose reaching 38 degrees and warm for some of our east bay and north bay valleys. we're back in the low 90s this afternoon but cooling is headed our way. we'll have to make it through some humidity tomorrow and some upper 80s and then some low to mid 80s for the rest of the week as that dry air returns. san francisco more foggy conditions, with highs in the upper 60s over the next several days. let's check back in with mike. >> the south bay the northbound routes kicked in the last half hour. the crash blocks the off-ramp from southbound 101 at story road, so you cannot use that right now, probably not until 9:00 for the investigation to continue. if you exit at tully you're just a little farther south and you can make your way north, give yourself another 15 minutes if you're headed there. the rest of the bay shows a

typical pattern, back after the holiday weekend. there is the richmond to san rafael bridge commute westbound is slowing. >> more local news coming up in a half hour.

loxahatchee river. that's what this body of water is the winds have started to pick up, as well. in addition to showing you the river, i wanted to show you this marina as you can see here, every boat has been taken out of the marina that happened several days ago this, of course, the case at marinas up and down the coast in florida, georgia, and south carolina businesses have been shut down for a number of days more than 2 million people ordered to evacuate at this point. thousands of kids were supposed to go back to school here in florida, south carolina, and georgia, as well those kids won't be going back to school either states of emergency have been declared in the aforementioned states, along with north carolina and georgia, as well. flight delays also becoming a huge issue some 1700 plus flights have been cancelled right now. airports in this area shut down. orlando airport shut down. the palm beach airport, ft. lauderdale among the major airports that have been shut down here in florida as folks continue to brace for the storm.

at this point, as dorian sits 100 plus miles east of where we are, it is a storm that's not so much barrelling toward the eastern seaboard as it is lumbering. folks here bracing folks here prepared. local officials telling us that, by and large, they've heeded those warnings to get to higher ground, guys. >> craig, we can see the wind kicking up there let's go to al >> it's really a slow mover. >> it is not moving at all it has been stationary for about the last 12 hours. you can see the left side of this is a little weaker. there's drier air coming into that here's the latest. it is exactly 110 miles east/northeast of west palm beach. 120-mile-per-hour winds. it is stationary damaging winds, as it finally does push up the coast you can see the counterclockwise flow that brings the air into the coast, and that brings -- pushes the water in

that's where we have the possibility of storm surge especially from west palm beach all the way to savannah, about four to seven foot warnings there and storm surge watches all the way past charleston. rainfall amounts, we're talking anywhere from five to seven inches of rain to north of melbourne all the way to cape hatter hatteras we're looking at some areas that could pick up 15 inches of rain. again, depending on the path power outages, the potential for 4 million people without power, especially right along the coast. widespread and some extensive flooding -- i should say, power outages, as you get into the coast. then we push up into the mid southeast, where we're looking from charleston, myrtle beach, wilmington, cape hatteras, with dangerous possibilities of power outages. back to you. >> thank you, al. now tense and dramatic moments in the sky a student pilot on his third flight ever forced to take the controls after his instructor

and never landed on his own. >> first thing we're going to do is make sure the wings stay level and that you keep consistent speed and consistent altitude >> reporter: with firefighters standing by, max's family could only watch and wait. >> you're doing really, really well >> you're doing an amazing job >> reporter: thankfully, max was a natural. >> gently stop braking now, and you're down on the ground. you did it, mate well done. that's amazing >> reporter: on the ground, firefighters quickly rushed the plane. paramedics taking the instructor to a local hospital, where he is in stable condition. but the actual flying, says max, that wasn't that difficult >> you just have to deal with the situation that you've been thrown in front of you need to react. >> no damage at all to the plane. matter of fact, it was a perfect landing. i've had worse damage on good flights when nothing went wrong. >> i mean, tom, i can't -- he's so calm under pressure we're marveling at it. did this make him want to fly again, keep going with it, or

never again? >> he says he is passionate about flying this will not deter him from flying again he loves it. his ultimate goal is to become a commercial airline pilot clearly, he is cool under pressure >> yeah, he's got the right stuff for sure >> no kidding. >> thank you, tom. hoda, look who is here now. >> stop it carson daly. >> last time i saw hoda, she said, i'll see you tomorrow at work, and that was last april. where have you been? >> missing you. >> love you. how is hope and haley? >> she's awesome they're amazing. so good to see your face. >> welcome back. >> thank you, babe. >> you have good stuff on pop start. >> we have a lot coming up. >> kevin hart's wife speaking out. >> kevin hart was in the accident, and his wife is going to give us an update on how he is doing, which is good news he is recovering from that we'll have that and a whole lot more, including a new "voice"

first her own journey. maria shriver has spent her entire life carrying on that legacy of success. a proud mother of four and an nbc news special contributor news special contributor, maria has written best-selling books, produced a documentary, and attracted millions of followers on social media. >> we must chart a bold and brave new course. >> while advocating for families struggling with alzheimer's disease. maria says her greatest accomplishment came last month when she took a break from it all to focus on herself. opening up in her sunday paper newsletter, she writes about finding inner peace by embracing the stillness of a clear schedule after a good cry in a mountain in utah where she confronted a lifetime of love and loss, she writes, my quiet mind allowed me to see myself as a survivor. it allowed me to realize i was proud of myself for so many things it allowed me to realize i loved myself sitting there alone, i felt all

that i am instead of all that i am not i felt it, perhaps, for the first time ever. but maria's month long journey of self-discovery began with tragedy. the sudden death of her cousin's 22-year-old daughter, saoirse kennedy hill i was furious at god for taking my cousin, courtney's, only child away it doesn't get more brutal than that, as many parents know too well marie is a says she took her death as an invitation to exam what felt dead inside her. she writes, i thought back to my cousin's daughter. i'm sure she would have been stunned to hear all the incredible things that were said at her funeral it would have stopped her cold to realize how loved she was i'm sure it would have been a huge relief nor her to feel her worth. it was only in death she found stillness, a powerful

realization as maria embarked on her personal mission of self-discovery i remember sitting at her wake and how i felt to feel peace in life, not in death lo and behold just a few days later, i found it. >> okay. so i'm a big advocate of your sunday paper i read it all the time. >> you wrote for it this week. >> when i read this one, i said i bet you you're going to get more feedback on this one than any. you hit a nerve. were you surprised at just sort of the avalanche of people reacting and being touched by what you said? >> well, i love that people find community in the sunday paper. they find community with your story. you've written with it as well, and i think i talked to a lot of people who are like i don't like living my life 24/7. i don't like being connected 24/7 i know that there must be something else out there and before i took a break, i was feeling i wanted stillness i wanted space, i wanted something different in my life

than what i was experiencing, and i got it >> it's kind of the perfect moment for you to be here because you're talking about taking a little moment of solitu solitude you took some time, i won't say it's solitude when you have a newborn baby and a 2 1/2-year-old, but what does that quietness inside reveal? >> it revealed to me that i was enough it revealed to me that i was good, and it revealed a peace in me and that i could see myself as a survivor. i could see myself as the hero of my own story. i always thought, like, oh, if i wrote a best selling book, if i was an anchor of a show, if i produced a document ri then i would feel enough, and i think that's what the american dream tells you. if you can achieve kind of professional success, you'll feel good, and actually the feeling good, the enoughness is within you i believe it's within you by divine right. >> i don't think you're a big crier. i watched you when you read the eulogy for your mom and all these different things, so it struck me that you were sitting

on this rock when you read this and crying. >> sobbing. >> sobbing but you cried about things you thought were already healed, you had been through, you know, pain that was past, but it's not really gone. >> i think what happens very often when you go to a funeral or when someone around you experiences a loss, your own loss comes up. >> yeah. >> and you realize as i wrote in the piece that grief was not done with me and that i thought in the last ten years i lost my mother, my father, my uncle, my marriage, my old identity, and i hadn't updated my narrative to who i am today >> yeah. >> and i think updating your narrative, seeing yourself as enough, not being so hard on yourself, not driving yourself, not being in the negative self talk is so important because the world does that to you. >> i was just thinking about it because it's your quietness seems to have revealed a new to you, like that negative talk that self-talk that i think so many of us have, but when you're

busy it's just like a radio station that's always on, always broadcasting these sort of negative thoughts. if you're quiet, you slow down, why am i thinking that wait a minute, let's examine it. >> i think we're all scared a little bit of silence because we're afraid of what comes up. i myself if you had told me i could be still ten years ago i would have laughed at you. in my stillness as opposed to revealing negativeness, it revealed enoughness, it revealed quiet, and i really want to go through my life less hurried, less, you know, frazzled, less pulled because i like myself better. >> how do you sustain it, though >> yeah. that's what i was thinking too. >> i want to go get a hot stone massage with both of you you're both so peaceful. >> you're right, that's a good question. >> how do we hold onto it? >> i think boundaries are helpful. i think, you know, who you surround yourself with, and as i wrote in this piece, if my narrative, if i brought it up today, if i saw myself as enough, if i saw myself as the

hero of my own story, then the negative self-talk that saw me otherwise would have to be removed from my narrative. i think continually knocking out you're not enough. what's wrong with you? why don't you have this? why haven't you done that? that doesn't have a place in my new narrative. >> and also that you surround yourself, i think that's so key too. they always say like you're the sum total of five people you spend the most time with so choose them wisely. >> there was a great study that i had heard about when i was actually at home, which said they studied people who were in a hurry, and then they studied the same people who were not in a hurry, and their behavior was completely different it wasn't that their character was different, but they stopped to talk to people. they engaged with people they were calmer in their interactions, and i thought, you know, that's the way i want to go through the rest of my life from that place. >> i'll have what she's having maria, you always are so wise. >> beautiful. >> yeah, we love you >> i'll see you at 10:00 >> see you at 10:00. >> oh, you guys are doing the

show together. >> more of this. >> we're going to shift gears now. we want to get a check of the weather from al who's watching that storm. >> thanks so much. this is the latest from the national hurricane center at 8:00 it's on the move again, but at a snail's pace 120 miles per hour winds it's moving northwest at just one miles per hour, but hopefully that means it's starting to get going. hurricane warnings now stretching from the central georgia coast all the way down to just north of miami, and then as you move inland, tropical storm warnings and watches the path, by early tomorrow morning it's just outside of melbourne, then jacksonville by wednesday afternoon, and then continues up towards charleston as we get through thursday, cape hatteras by friday morning, and then out into the atlantic finally and moving away. we're looking at damaging winds possible right along the coast some of the models bringing it closer to the coast, and so we could see damaging winds, power outages, storm surge as well four to seven feet in some spots, three to five feet as you

sentences. i watched hope get on her side, believe it or not, already and flop over. i'm calling that a full on rollover i mean, it was close she might have just tipped haley, what are you doing right now? haley is an awesome big sister literally, she wakes up, she opens her eyes, and her first words are always go see baby sister hope? got to go see hope, momma. she kisses her on the head when i try to take a picture, she goes, smile, hope. it's the cutest thing in the world. good stretch, baby hope. oh, that was a good stretch. but there is also some of that kid jealousy that you have with your baby sister sometimes when i pick hope up, she's like, mama, put her to bed. she wants her down and over there. ♪ ring around the rosie >> we march around the house to

the day. >> i'm going to the swings >> having this moment in life, at this time in my life, does kind of snap the world into focus. i have my north stars, two of them here we go wow! look, we miss a lot of our lives. we all do. we work. we have, you know, a lot of people pulling on us but for this tiny little window, i got to not miss anything hold on! >> that's nice. >> how are you feeling this morning? you know, i've come back from maternity leave. you have, too. it is always bittersweet i mean, we're so lucky we love our jobs and love being here but, you know, it hurts, too. >> i do have some of that, i have to say. >> i was thinking about it i was thinking about it sitting with haley and she was laying on me, we were falling asleep i thought to myself, i had the best five months i could have ever imagined in my life i didn't know what i was missing. i was also excited to come back.

i thought to myself, when i watch haley now and watch hope, i think, i'm 55 and i get to be with them. so i know it was a lot of time to take off, and i felt a little bad about it, but in reality, like life is a blink you get this moment. i decided that i was going to take it. when i'm at work, i'm going to be 100% here but i have to say, those kids have taught me so much escalar.troduced an i didn't know it was awesome until she said, look, the stairs are going up i was like, wow, that is awesome. or she walks up to a stranger on the streets, and she's like, i have pockets i was like, she has pockets. it is the littlest things. it reminded me, sit in it a lile bit if you can. >> at the time, it is priceless. you deserve it. >> i'm happy to be here, i have to tell you. walking in the door this morning, made me feel so good. seeing your face in the makeup room

commute. i want to point out what you were just talking about. this crash doesn't result in a closure of the story road off ramp from southbound 101 because if you saw on the video it was right off the freeway. that will continue possibly another half hour. we haven't gotten an update from san jose p.d. but they thought about 9:00 they might reopen. it has resulted in a closure. the rest of the south bay shows the push northbound to the silicon valley commute and west across san mateo and dumbarton bridge without any major problems. we have a lot more traffic than the last few days on the commute. the slower drive on the approach for 580 as well as the east shore freeway. >> we'll have more local news in 30 minutes. we are here to discuss jessie's online time.

it is amazing. >> walk us through the selection. what fish is this? >> we would use catfish in mississippi, u.s. farm-raised c catfish. we're going to use tilapia if there's any fishy flavor, that's going to get rid of that. we're going to leave that overnight. >> overnight, wow. >> and you can use any sort of medium, whitefish. >> any whitefish is going to work beautifully for this. so we have our seasoned salt, onion powder, garlic powder, a little bit of pepper we're going to mix this in this is a little trick dolores taught me. you're going to have to taste this ooh, yeah, that's right. you want it to be seasoned if this isn't seasoned, this isn't going to be seasoned. >> right >> so then we go here, make sure you really press it down, pat it, flip it. >> what's in the seasoning >> it's onion powder, garlic powder and seasoned salt we didn't even get that in there. >> and this will create the crust. >> doesn't that taste good >> it's good

>> now we're going over here into our oil the thing you want to remember, once it goes into the oil, it's ready when it floats >> oil. >> are you making fun of me? >> i'm laughing with you it's awesome. >> once it floats, anytime you're frying something, that's when you know it's ready whether it's fried chicken or fried fish. >> that's a great tip. >> it makes all the difference in the world >> you know it's done when it floats. >> you have to turn it over? >> yeah. well, no, huh-uh it's deep enough that we're not going to have to turn it over. it's cooking on the bottom and top. >> it's so good. >> isn't it good >> i love it. >> what about that tartar sauce? >> love it. >> i like a little fish with my tartar sauce seriously, that is my thing. >> that looks delicious. >> some wonderful lemons squeezed on there and great french fries and honey we're done. >> one of the thins i ate a lot of this summer is these heirloom tomatoes, we ate it with baa ra ta one of the things you can do is grab -- if you have these tomatoes lying around is go ahead and cut through them and chop it up, and you can kind of

convert these ingredients into another salad. what we do is take these tomatoes, we chop them up. i like iceberg lettuce i like that crunch in lettuce. >> there is nothing wrong with iceberg. it got a bad rap in the '80s we're going back to it and i love it. >> you can use arugula we're going o'it take our hands and clump it in there this is a blt salad right here a little bit bacon on there and drizzle it with a little bit of the vinaigrette. >> that is fantastic. >> how do you like that guys >> that's pretty good. >> delicious. >> hoda, i hear you have been eating your weight in key lime pie. like it's a problem, isn't it? >> how do you know >> who told you? >> this is one of my favorite recipes, and i think you're going to love it it's all about that crust. >> yeah. >> phenomenal. >> also, you have to have something to drink, so after labor day i thought a bloody mary might work well today this is wor chester sauce, sweet pickle juice, a little horseradish, a squeeze of lemon

and garnished it with a little beef jerky on top. >> bloody mary's are the only thing you can drink at 8:00 in the morning and no one's going to judge you you pull out tequila at 8:00 people are going to talk about you. >> they're going to write about you. >> you're got a little protein in there, that's breakfast. >> cheers. happy fall, everyone elizabeth thank you. >> hoda, key lime pie, that's your jam. >> isn't that a great recipe. >> >> thank you so much. if you want these recipes head to today.com/food. just ahead, the party rolls on we've got moreive music from l
