back with more of "today" on this tuesday morning. the 10th day of april, 2012. we have a wonderful crowd outside on the plaza this morning. and they all look like they're having a great time here in the big apple. although some april showers may be on the way. it's a beautiful morning so far. and so we're glad that they can enjoy it. meantime i'm ann curry along with "meet the press's" david gregory. >> a lot of meteorological details this morning. i can't say the word. al, do you agree? >> a lot of meteorological details. >> ann, i think your weather forecast -- >> in the meantime, great show ahead. >> anyway. >> anyway.

>> right? >> she's in there like, barometric pressure. >> i go in to the "wake up with al" studio, she's already in there. >> with the green screen behind her so she can do the low pressure front moving in. >> we kid. >> we do. because we love, right? >> as you can see, david is here, al's here, savannah's here. speaking of the tale, we're going to talk about a little bit of the dangerous weather and how it's affecting people all across the country with these dangerous wildfires burning in the east, and a powerful storm system. >> we're not used to it in the east. >> exactly it's on long island. and there are powerful storms that have spawned tornadoes and damaging hail in the south. you're going to tell us more about that in a little bit coming up. >> also, if you and your partner fight about money, which a lot of people do fight about, a lot of tension, jean chatzky is going to be here with really great tips to help avoid actually in all seriousness, it's going to be such a huge area of tension. some tips on how to avoid that. >> i was going to say, giving

them a deal. jill martin is here, she's got her "steals & deals." a screaming deal. >> she's got jewelry. she has a polka dotted robe all and more for really great prices. we'll tell you all about it. >> by the way, i saw mentioned that mariska hargitay earlier, she wanted to make a mention that she's been a big support -- supporter of -- helping survivors of sex out assault and she wanted to mention that april 25th is denim day. and so everyone's supposed to wear denim, right, so that we can help support survivors of sexual assault. i will make that mention and i also want to also say it's time for a check of the top stories from natalie morales at the news desk. >> good morning once again. good morning, everyone. record breaking high temperatures this spring are bringing more extreme weather today. at least two tornadoes have touched down in northwestern oklahoma, injuring two people and damaging a county jail with grapefruit sized hail. meantime brushfires in florida, new jersey and on new york's long island forced some residents to evacuate and

interrupted amtrak service between connecticut and new york city monday night. in north korea, nbc news has learned this week's rocket launch is set to go. this as space experts in pyongyang say all preparations are pleat ahead of takeoff. the u.s. is telling north korea not to go ahead with the launch, saying it would further isolate the asian nation and would violate u.n. security council resolutions. the shooting death of unarmed teen trayvon martin will not be presented to a florida grand jury. the special prosecutor investigating martin's slaying may still file charges against george zimmerman, the neighborhood watch volunteer who shot martin, he claims, in self-defense. meantime, zimmerman's lawyers have confirmed that a website asking for donations for his defense is real. the two men accused of going on a deadly shooting spree in a predominantly black neighborhood of tulsa have confessed acco according to place. officials say jake england admitted to shooting three people and alvin watts confessed to shooting two. three of those victims died.

the suspects are being held on more than $9 million bail each. we now have the winner or winners, should we say, from maryland, of the $656 million mega millions jackpot. lottery officials say the lucky ticket holders are two women and a man who all work in maryland's public school system. but they wish to remain anonymous. one person who is not one of those winners, mirlande wilson, who attracted national attention for claiming she had the winning ticket. the lion king reigned supreme over the great white way. box office figures released monday revealed that the disney broadway classic has now surpassed "phantom of the opera" as the highest grossing musical of all time, breaking in $853.8 million since its 1997 debut. and don't look down. an american leading a group of urban explorers has scaled europe's tallest building, the shard in london. clinging to a crane 1,000 feet in the air, bradley derrick says

he and his group have scaled the unfinished building a number of times over the past year. he says they never break in, only sneak in and leave everything just as they found it. garrett says that he does it for the love of the building, apparently a security guard actually helped him get up there. so, five minutes past the hour. let's go now to ann, david and savannah. or al! >> or me. either way. all right. thanks so much, natalie. let's show you what we got as far as your weather is concerned. record breaking temperatures soaring as we continue to move forward. we've got colder than normal temperatures, we've got wind gusts 25 to 30 miles per hour in the area, and so, stretching all the way from the northeast down to the south we have high fire dangers up. we have red flag warnings from greenville all the way to new york city. and out to the west, we're talking about frost and freeze warnings, so we've got literally fire and ice to talk about over the next 24 hours. >> good morning.

we will start out with quiet conditions. the clouds will build up into the afternoon. it will be a breezy day. 20% chance for a rain time now for "today's money." financial rules to live by that can help save your marriage or relationship. jean chatzky is the author of the new book "money rules: the simple path to lifelong security." >> nice to see you. >> this is one that, you know, most couples really fight about. you say these are pretty simple rules to go by. and basically you're talking about live below your means. which i think is a great idea. >> that's right. this is money rule number 10,

live below your means. it's because we know that couples that can actually accumulate $10,000 in assets are 70% less likely to get divorced than couples that have no assets. so the bottom line is you just have to save money and that means getting yourself with that program. >> and i was going to say, how tough is that, though? >> well, you know, some people tend to be savers. some people tend to be spenders. i think the trick is getting the savings out of the account before you have the opportunity to spend it. so as soon as your paycheck lands you just move some money into a savings account and then you can live on the rest of what's in there for the rest of the month. >> number 35, just because you have a coupon doesn't mean you have to go shopping. >> and it's because we know that in cases where you feel your spouse is a foolish spender, you're 45% more likely to get divorced. >> ooh. >> right. men and women. equally. and so if you are one of those people who is a sucker or a sale, and there are a lot of them out there, you got to know

who you are, and you have to understand that a coupon is not a license to spend money. because another one of the money rules, if it's 50% off, it's still 50% on. you're still spending that money. >> exactly. i like number 33, trying to keep up with the joneses, just know the joneses are in debt. >> another thing that's really bad for your marriage is feeling that your spouse is materialistic. and that's essentially what we're doing when we're trying to keep up with the joneses. we want what they have. well, just realize, if they have it, there's a really good chance that they're in debt. 115 million americans carry debt to the tune of more than $10,000. and we're talking about high interest rate credit card debt. so pretty bad thing to do. >> and then that kind of goes into this next one, number 27, about good debt. good debt usually cheaper. >> right. so the difference between good debt and bad debt is that good debt gets you some place. it's the roof over your head. it's the car you drive back and forth to work. it's your college education. you know it because the interest

rate tends to be lower. bad debt, high interest rate credit card debt, drives couples, particularly newlywed couples, toward divorce. and toward those fights. so you want to steer clear of that kind of debt. >> number 93, declare some financial independence. >> just because you get married doesn't make you the same person. it doesn't mean that you want all of the same things, and, in fact, your differences probably attracted you in the first place. so i believe, and this is why we put it in money rule 93, is that you need to have a little bit of money so that you can do what you want to do with it. otherwise it starts to feel like you're asking permission. it starts to feel vaguely parental. and that's not at all romantic. >> that's not good. number 89, i think quite frankly should be higher up. don't lend money to friends or relatives. >> right. because if you think about the things that cause fights between you and those friends and relatives, lending money is never a good idea. you go out to dinner with these people and you start watching

what are they ordering? are those new shoes? and then you bring it home with you and it causes a fight with your spouse. so you shouldn't lend money to friends and relatives. >> what about the converse about borrowing money? >> it's the easiest way to lose those friends and relatives from your life. i'd steer clear of it altogether. >> sometimes, consider it a gift -- >> if you can afford it that's absolutely the thing to do. if you can afford it, give it away, you forget about it. you say i never want to discuss this again, this is a one-time thing and we're done with it. >> all right jean chatzky. thanks so much. >> sure. >> great rules. >> and still ahead, put your best face forward. bobbi brown has got some tips for finding the perfect foundation. she's got the perfect face. but up next, jill martin here with mr.

our very own makeup maven bobbi brown is here to give us a few tips and tricks about the perfect oundation. bobbi, good morning. >> good morning. >> i'm so glad you're here. i feel like we all need an intervention on foundation. it's the toughest thing to figure out. >> and it's honestly the simple thing when you get it right. it has to match your face, your neck, your hands. it has to go right tone. >> let's talk about it. what's your number one tip for people who are buying foundation? >> color. you have to find a color that blends in to the side of your face. not your hand. it doesn't matter how it looks on your hand. it's the side of your face. >> you say you should kind of walk into natural light. >> if possible look at natural light. makes a really big difference. color first then formula. make sure it's the right formula. >> you say search for a yellow-based foundation. but how do we know that? what does that look like? >> yellow foundation basically is what we have in our skin. if you put a foundation on and you ask if you have to put it on your neck, it's pink. so it should totally blend in. so on a weekend just use it on a

spot or around your nose. yellow foundation gets rid of redness. >> you also like tinted moisturizer. >> it's great for weekends, and if your skin is good, tinted moisturizer is often. >> spring getting into summer, do you need to change your foundation as the seasons change? >> you do. as your skin changes, drier or oiler, your text our changes. you can also adapt your foundation texture with your moisturizer underneath it. >> let's get to some of our models. we have a couple of examples. our first one is tanzia. >> she's young, she's beautiful. she has amazing skin. >> i don't even think she needs foundation. >> she doesn't really. but for tv we have foundation. on an everyday basis, look at how beautiful her skin looks. she has no foundation on her neck, it's the same color, and you put foundation on first and then you take a touchup stick and you go wherever there's a little bit of a spot and you just go right on top of it, let it sit and then you use a powder

on top of it to lock it in place. >> okay. >> that is really simple. her skin is great. she could use the stick. she also could use a powder foundation. it's a mineral powder foundation. but important thing, it's the color of her skin. >> right. >> it's not pink. >> if you have dry skin should you avoid a powder foundation. >> you could use a mineral powder foundation with the right moisturizer. >> a little bit of concealer and then the foundation? >> yes, well concealer is under the eyes. on your skin the little brown spots is a touchup stick. >> not a concealer. >> concealer is lighter than your skin. okay. but it's got to be the same color of your skin to touch up whatever is bothering you on the face. >> you're even more gorgeous than before. thank you so much for being our model. our next model was concerned about redness. let's look at the before picture here. this is margita. >> she's like so many women, beautiful, has great skin but there's a lot of redness in the skin. so the trick is, again, a yellow

toned foundation. she has drier skin so she used a moisturizing foundation. again she has no foundation on her neck or anywhere else and it's the same color, we know it's good. >> so show us some of the products you used. >> what we did first was just, you know, a foundation that actually was the color of her skin. we applied it all over. you could apply it with your finalers, a brush, or a sponge. and it goes all over. >> is there anything better if you have a choice? fingers, brush, sponge? >> i really like my fingers. >> me, too. >> but a brush will give you more coverage. so that's great. so we did that first. then we put a powder all over her face. and we used a yellow powder, not a translucent powder. because translucent powder would make her ashy. and again skin tone correct is the most important thing. >> how do you get that dewey look when you're using powder? >> well the right moisturizer underneath. we started with a moisturizer. we used a pot rouge on her cheek, so a cream blush. and another thing for women that have red in their skin, and

women that have high color, a bronzing powder. >> oh. >> when looking for a bronzing powder you want to apply it with a big brush. you go all over the apples, forehead, nose, chin, underneath a little bit on the neck. foundation never goes on the neck but if you have a different color neck you could use a little bit of the bronzer. this is amazing. because if you have any redness, it's just even out your skin and gives you a really nice glow. >> we have two gorgeous models. thank you so much, ladies. bobbi, thank you. >> thank you very much. >> up next, what is on your man's mind. dr. ian smith reveals the truth about men coming up.

men can be hard to read. if you're puzzled by your man's behavior in the relationship we've got a decoder just for you. "new york times" best-selling author dr. ian smith is here with his latest book "the truth about men: the secret side of the opposite sex." >> great to see you. >> you've written so many best-sellers for diets. why now tackle relationships? >> when i was working with a lot of women to help them lose weight i found myself becoming an ad hoc relationship expert because part of their emotional issues were part of their eating issues. why is he doing this? i don't understand why he's saying this? and one woman said dr. ian just put this all in a book and give it to people and people really love the information because it's really helping women understand what your man wants you to know but simply is not telling you. >> why aren't they telling us? it just would make life easier. >> guys are afraid of rejection. they don't want to be embarrassed. >> we don't want any of that either. >> exactly. listen i believe openness is great. but this book is going to help guys because it will say the

things that they want their spouses or their dating companion to know but they don't tell them. >> let's talk about marriage. the book says you take a look at a couple of studies and surveys and an interesting survey, i guess, a great male survey, but most men do apparently want to settle down. when asked how they view the ultimate male status symbol 36% list they wanted to have a family. as you see there. the high profile career and everything else. the wife and the girlfriend. 21%. so, if that's the case, then, why is do men say the truth when it comes down to marriage, you use the word early in a relationship it sets up a red flag. >> guys are taught to cherish their autonomy. guys are raised that being young and single is a great way to live. it's against the societal indoctrination of men not to be married. also, men want to move into marriage at their own speed. and you know, i was the same way.

you know, i didn't want to be dragged into it. i want to do it my own way, which is great for me. men will say it's not that i don't want to get married. i want to get married on my terms. but how do you talk to a man about marriage? don't talk to him about you getting married. ask him about how his parents' relationship is, what he feels about children. and that will tease out ideas about marriage rather than confronting him. >> no ultimate ups then? >> not at all. >> another thing you say that men want you to know but they don't often tell you is apparently they like a natural body with flaws, they say it's better than a plastic body. >> well, this is a truth. and i don't believe this. here's the deal. guys are very visual. yes we like to look at a woman who is very nicely enhanced. but when you talk about living with someone and falling in love with someone, guys want au naturel. all guys will say, i love the beauty of my woman as she ages. i'm aging also, that is fine. unfortunately, society makes us believe that the woman who has all these great surgical

enhancements is the ideal and for most men that is not the case. >> really? society makes you believe that? >> magazines and those type of things. >> okay. you also say that men apparently want you -- they want you more when others want you. is that true? >> 100%. now this is part of the male ego. men like the idea that someone else covets who your companion is. >> kind of like jealous? >> it can get jealous. the idea is when you look great and another guy respects and admires you, it makes your man feel good. i say all the time, always present yourself your best in to your man because deep down he's proud you look so good. >> it's fine for you to set down parameters in the beginning of a relationship but don't send mixed signals. >> mixed signals are, we agree that we're going to have the relationship proceed at a certain pace. you know, we're going to wait to a certain time before we become intimate. and the idea is you should behave that way. both the guy and the woman. don't then dress in a way -- >> provocative. >> provocative way that's going

to make a guy want to go beyond the limits that you've set. if you're on the same page in the beginning then it works out for both of you. >> be honest in the relationship. >> always. >> dr. ian smith, really cool stuff. thank you so much. coming up next a classic dish from the famous palm restaurant. the recipe for shrimp bruno. first, this is "today" on nbc. i don't even know what a casserole is, but it's really good. it's crunchy and noodle-y. what they mean is, it's french's french fried onions in my crunchy noodle casserole.

french's french fried onions. available in the french's stay-fresh can.

this morning in "today's kitchen," what's on the menu? the perfect spring shrimp dinner. since 1926 the palm restaurant has been serving up legendary food to its customers. bruce is the fourth generation of the palm family. bruce, good to see you. >> good to see you, too. >> just ate at the restaurant in washington on sunday night. >> you did? thank you very much. >> this is one of the signature dishes. always like such an oxymoron. jumbo shrimp. >> jumbo shrimp bruno. so basically you want to start with a jumbo shrimp and really have your fishmonger devein it

and cut it. because that can get kind of messy. and then you're basically going to put it in flour, put it in the egg wash. >> right. >> and then we're going to put it in our -- >> and i notice you've got a little garlic there going. >> we have some garlic, just golden brown. we're going to put our shrimp in, and cook them until they're just a pale golden brown, too. >> they cook pretty quickly? >> they took pretty quickly. this dish was originated in 1978 in los angeles. so it's a great dish. >> so once you're done? >> once that's done you're going to kind of drain the pan of the oil and then you're going to put the white wine in the pan and that's deglazing the pan. that's going to get all the flavor of the shrimp and the garlic back in to the pan. you're going to put the dijon mustard in. >> okay. >> all right. there you go. >> spatula. >> kind of twirl that around. yeah, really get it in. and then depending on the thickness, you'll put a little

chicken stock here. >> okay. >> salt is one of those key ingredients you just want to use sparingly because you can always put it in but you can't take it out. and there's the golden shrimp so that's done. once this is all sort of complete you have this beautiful bruno sauce. >> thickened sauce. >> we're going to put a little butter in there. >> of course. just a little. >> one of our key ingredients at the palm. thank you, sir. and we're going to serve this on top of quinoa which is a great grain. got the essential amino acids, a lot of iron. and then if you could just gently pour the sauce from the front to the back. right. great. that's great. beautiful. >> thank you. >> now, one of your classic side dishes. >> yeah. >> creamed spinach. >> over here i'm following you. >> we're just going to keep walking around. >> i go wherever you go. so we have creamed spinach. we already have our heavy whipping cream, our butter, our salt and pepper.

>> come over this way. >> we're going to do a little nutmeg. we're going to do the flavor, which is -- >> reggiano parmesan cheese. >> very nice. >> and we're going to do a slurry. a slurry is you want to whisk that a little. >> what goes into this? >> cold water and cornstarch. it will really thicken this up. and that step you really do 25 minutes into the cooking process. >> okay. just spirit in? >> pour it in. you have beautiful palm creamed spinach. which of course, we have a couple -- >> oh. >> now when it comes to this -- >> we nice aside. you believe in go big or go home. >> go big or go home. we have our new wedge salad which is vina great, bleu cheese, waken. this is a sirloin. >> wow. more importantly look at this. >> that's not one serving. >> that is a slice of the tom. >> that is -- >> -- at the table. >> my gosh. >> get it for the table.

you just hollow that out and people can live in there. >> hoda and kathie lee have been known to drown in this cake. >> this is a bourbon cake. >> there might be some in there. >> all right. thank you so much. all the great recipes are on our website today.com. >> and coming up, kathie lee and hoda will be in the judge's seat. >> as the competition begins to find today's voice the kid's edition.
