'do we let you buy a grill and say you cant put a steak on it? fireworks. you can buy them, but flooding into iowas borders even though our law says you cant use them" the bill was designed so individual municipalities could opt out of the law-- but a recently passed amendment from a des moines senator would give the municipalities more flexibility, an "opt-in" danielson says that's inaffective, and -- "when things happen, it puts fireworks become a problem flashbacks. "if they go off before i know excited you want to hide sometimes' danielson says regulating fireworks would solve this problem by creating a responsibility policy -- so neighbors would have to make each other aware they'd be using them. but not all veterans are so sure people would follow this policy its a complicated issue

through the legislature...one that's not likely to be decided other lawmakers say they're still unsure about the bill. eastern iowans are voicing their concerns this weekend in dubuque. this happening during the first cracker-barrel of the year. during the public event in dubuque -- people asked state legislators questions. issues ranged from water quality to education funding. but for most of them -- one topic seemed to be the main concern.

"it's somebody that i can trust...it's somebody that i know is on our side...he's not i'm not out there to be an adversary. i'm out there to make sure they're ok, that they're not any problems." the deputy is eligible for retirement... but doesn't plan to do so right now. his focus is on helping people. today is the big game. the denver broncos take on the carolina panthers in super bowl 50 tonight. san francisco is jammed to capacity this weekend... forcing police to turn away thousands of football fans. a fireworks show and a performance from the rock band "one republic" attracted visitors wanting to

throw in anything you've got in the house into this tortilla... assuming you have some cream cheese, you can make these work you are really struggling right now, and they look pretty easy. they are so really all you have to do is mix cheese and i like these whipped cream cheeses. they have less fat because they have more air in them but i just think they are a lot easier to anything, and it's much easier to spread. yes it's easier for cooking. i have rotel in the house you could use some salsa. you just want to drain off the extra liquid, otherwise it can make wheat tortilla. so i am going to show you just the basic concept for rolling these -- oh and the house into this tortilla... have to do is mix the cream, some rotel, if you don't jalapenos if you want, green onions, and i've used a whole freezer so pop some in the oven... whatever you've got going in the kitchen, and you

then all you do is take your filling, and you need to know which way you roll your tortillas. i always roll away from me. so you want to leave some extra space that way. so, some extra space on this end since i will roll away from me. because little space around the edges, and like i said a little space in the direction you're rolling. these are super simple, you can make them ahead of time too if you don't want them for the big game the flavors marry together. and how we have this set up, you can pull the saran wrap right over, roll it up, and then put it in and stick together, and then you'll be left with a bunch of these in your fridge. then slice them either when you get to the party those usually aren't very pretty, edible though. they just aren't very pretty so i usually eat those as i'm slicing. snackin' while you make it! and like you said let them sit in the firdge together as well. so definitely put them in the fridge for about an hour or so. sounds good, yummy and easy alright sounds great. thanks whitney we'll toss this online, and we'll toss it back

if you're cooking today before the said let them sit in the firdge together as well. so definitely put them to lauren. if you're cooking today before the game tonight -- you can find that recipe on our website -- kwwl dot com. a final look at your forecast
