now to a bittersweet reunion between a father and daughter. two weeks ago a nurse at a hospice here in new york was given a new patient. turns out, it was her father, who she hadden seen in more than 40 years. wanda rodriguez joins us now from cavalry hospital in the bronx. wanda, good morning. >> good morning, harry. >> there you are. it's just another day at work. a new patient comes into your ward. and you hear his name and what did you think? >> well, what i was -- it was august 25, 2010, on a wednesday evening. i was expecting an admission. and the admission arrives ten to 7:00. he passed by the nurse's station. i looked at him. i took a glimpse at him, noticed he wasn't in any distress. ems proceeded and transferred him into the room. then i was by the nurse's

station, sitting right by the and then i was by the nurse's station charting and i overheard the doctor mentioning his name over the phone, he said victor perazza. and when i heard his name, i froze. i knew my father's name. i knew his name was victor. and prior to that, it was my maiden name, so i completely froze and quickly looked to the chart to see if i could notice his age. and i said, if this patient happens to be in his 60s, more than likely there's a good chance he could be my dad because my mom married her high school sweetheart. and she's in her 60s. so of course, i like at the chart and the age wasn't there. and i didn't think to look at the age. the date of birth, rather, so i said at this point i just need to go into the patient's room and look at him because my mom

told me that i had a great resemblance. my dad and i resembled each other very much. >> then ultimately you figure out that it is, in fact, your father. and i think one of the most amazing things about the entire story is your father abandoned your family, yet here you are and you have basically forgiven him. how -- where is it in your heart that you see this man who is in your care, you realize he's your father, and you still open your heart to him? >> because that's the type of person i am. it is not in my nature to hold a grudge. i like peace. i like to make people happy. and i couldn't imagine my father being one of the patients that's been admitted to calvary hospital and just turning him away. i mean, here i am, i'm here 23 years and try to provide the best of care to my patients, and who would have ever thought that my dad was going to be one of

these patients. >> as it turns out, without family, he's there almost by himself. he's met you, he's met your children, he's met suddenly this man has a richness in terms of relationships he may have never had in his entire life. >> exactly. >> is this a blessing for you? >> total blessing. i feel blessed. i feel that this was a spirit full gift god gave me and god brought him to me. this is the way it was supposed to happen. it was fate. and it couldn't have happened any more perfect than it did. i owe god my life. i feel so -- there's closure. >> wow, what a story. what a story. wanda, thank you very, very much for coming on this morning. i think you have provided an inspace for a lot of people all over this country and it's a story a lot of people are sharing. thank you so much for sharing it with us this morning.

they shared a look which preppy came to define. no one could escape the branding. not even the family dog. in the 1950s preppy's blue blood began seeping into society. due in part to america's fascination with preppy's first family, the kennedys, who famously spent summers in high yan nas port. they went to hollywood where grace managed to dress down with sophistication. it wasn't until the '80s, some 30 years later, that is burst into the mainstream. the preppy handbook, a tongue-in-cheek best seller laid it out for the masses. film and fashion quickly followed suit. ♪ pretty in pink >> this is the '80s. >> reporter: clothes were just as memorable as characters in timeless films where princesses and even punks were a little prep. >> is this preppy or what? >> reporter: designer tommy

really go out of style. >> reporter: an amazing feat when you consider just how far preppy has come. ♪ >> you know, these days anyone can be prepreppy. from the looks you should rock to the books you should read. >> so much is obviously about the clothes. have you a little prep going on this morning. >> i have the prep inspired look. no prep look is complete without something from ralph lauren. i went shopping in the hamptons. great preppy looks for a lower price point. and tommy hilfiger let me borrow these boots, modified duck boots. >> i grew up in connecticut, ird say, which sort of -- >> you're an automatic prep. >> i kind of am just by default. the duck boot, i have fond memory of the duck boot but they never looked that good. >> this season they do. >> what else is on our must have list this fall? >> you remember the movie "the love story," iconic, that famous

caribbean," another disney jerry bruckheimer movie but it's not that great. too many closeups, slow-motion scenes. the only thing i'll remember from this movie is alfred molina's character kissing an ostri ostrich. that's the only thing i'll remember. >> that's quite a review. did i read you almost fell asleep? >> i did. i kept thinking to myself, would walt disney want to put his name on something like this? no! >> what grade are you putting on it. >> the official kid critic report card, gets a "d." skip it. one of the worst action movies of the year. >> hope you don't give a skip it to the next one "iron man". >> big one, started the summer season third biggest movie of the year. i actually like this better than the original. i'll tell you why. it had a lot more action scenes in this movie. although some of them do drag on a little bit, it's very

entertaining. i like robert downey jr. and gwyneth paltrow, it's a great movie. >> how high on the report card? >> "iron man 2" gets a "b," better than the original and definitely worth owning. >> all right. always a wealth of information. great to have you back with us. good luck with the back to school. >> i know, back to school starts in a few days. >> i think being 12 this year will do you well. >> thank you. >> thanks. >> announcer: this portion of "the early show" sponsored by new whisk. fight stains with science. before you fire up the grill on this labor day, pay attention. executive chef elizabeth karmel of hill country barbecue is here how to show us how to make picnic perfect fried chicken and texas beef tenderloins. >> that's right. >> you get to the end of summer and people are out of gas. thafr like, what can we make

next? now we have just the answer. >> that's right. that's why i have a little grill. let's go to the grill first. i'll show you. so, this is my texas tenderloins. >> look at these people. they just showed up out of nowhere. good morning. >> happy labor day. >> now, you have real charcoal. >> real charcoal. a huge piece of beef tenderloin. that's the full beef dender loin. the tenderloin comes from the spine, so it doesn't get very much work. it's the most tender, meltingly delicious buttery piece of meat. >> not a lot of fat. doesn't look like there's a lot of fat in there. >> very lean. it's really fabulous. you can see, i seared it over direct heat. then i moved it to indirect heat. >> so, you banked -- you got it nice and hot. sear it on both sides. bank the kohl's acoals and -- >> right. >> how long? >> a few hours. a smaller piece four to five minutes. >> you use a thermometer? >> or my finger.

i have a great a-okay method. >> is that right? >> the touch method. >> this has 20 more minutes. >> i'm thinking 19. very good. >> we'll bet on it, how about that? >> very good. >> while that finishes cooking, we'll do fried chicken. people think fried chicken is tough, but it's not. i'm going to show you just how easy it is. >> this is the simple way? >> yes. >> you'll start with flour. >> flour, salt, butcher grind pepper, a little cayenne to give it a kick. whisk that together. and, you know, i'm getting ready to open a chicken restaurant. >> i know. i heard about it. fried chicken and pie? >> fried chicken and pie. >> right here in new york city? >> yes, yes, sir. >> that sounds good. >> so, you want to know what the secret to great fried chicken is? >> i'm going to tell you, probably has something to do with this. >> a paper bag. like my grandmother and probably

your grandmother did, we'll shake the chicken in the paper bag. we'll put some seasoned flour in here. i've been marinating this in buttermilk, but it has a little twist. it's a buttermilk brind, so it will be tender and juicy. >> so, i'm going to pop this guy in here. >> just use your hands. now, shake, shake, shake. that's great. >> all right. >> so, let's look at that guy. does he have a lot of flour on him? oh, that's perfect. >> look at that guy, huh? >> yeah. now, in a perfect world you'll let that flour sit for five minutes. >> five minutes. >> just so it absorbs and gives you a great crust. you want to make sure your oil is hot enough to sizzle. >> we did that already. >> right. >> rook at that. oh, how perfect. >> mm. >> you want to make sure it's not only golden brown, but it's cooked all the way through to the bone, right, because that's a big problem.

>> because you think, as that turns brown, i've got to get it out of there, but you can't because it takes ait's while for the chicken to cook. >> it does. two tips. if you have a lid, you put the lid on and that keeps the heat on the inside. as it browns it also cooks. if you don't have a lid, you can take it out when you like the color and you can put it on a rack on a sheet pan and finish it up in the oven. >> that's kind of the guaranteed way. sometimes we do that out on the grill, we'll bake the chicken first and then put it out, or vice versa. that's the way to go. >> nothing worse than biting into a great piece of fried chicken and it's not cooked all the way. >> that's just horrendous, right? >> i know this is cooked all the way. >> you know this is cooked. this looks really, really good. i got a question for you. >> okay. >> and you know, as good as fried chicken is, it's really good the second day, too, right? oh oh, my gosh. >> you can do this in the morning and take it to a picnic later this afternoon.

the same thing with the tenderloin we have here. that's actually served room temperature. i smoked it last night. and then i just sliced it this morning. >> what would you serve with that tenderloin? would you have some kind of -- some sort of chili or -- >> i like to do a horseradish cream if i'm going to be fancy. i like to do a nice salsa. i like to take one of those gorgeous buttermilk biscuits, slice it and put that tender line right inside. and eat it. >> you're scaring everybody. you're scaring everybody and making everybody so happy. now, let me ask another question. you have this beautiful fried chicken. would you ever do that, would you ever deskin it? could you do it without the skin? >> i am so glad you asked. you're not going to believe this. we have two kinds of chicken at hill country chicken. one is this, the classic chicken president the other one we remove the skin and we have this

crispy, crunch y savory batter we finish with saltine crackers. >> we've got your tenderloin, super biscuits. what's the corn salad? >> i love this. this time of year you can use it with fresh corn. you just blister the corn. you either grill it or blister it in a cast iron skillet, mix it with some red peppers and some scallions and a beautiful red wine vinaigrette and it's a nice change from coleslaw and -- >> easy, easy. what's this bad boy right here? >> you need a bite of that. >> i do? >> that is my peach blackberry buy with a streusel topping. >> that's right. yeah, you're jealous, right? serious jealousy out on the plaza this morning. >> if you want to up the ante, a nice big scoop of vanilla ice cream. >> it doesn't even need it. it is not required. it is so good. elizabeth, as always, a pleasure to see you. >> it's so great to be with you.
