>> there are seeds. what's wrong with you? >> that's right. the little tiny seeds. >> which tastes better to you? with the seeds or no seeds? do they taste the same? >> can i put it in my mouth? >> give you a minute. >> they taste about the same. >> i like the first one better. >> you like the first one because actually you're going to pay twice as much just about for the work of having the seeds taken out for you. >> that's organic? >> no, no, no. we're past that. this is just seeds and no seeds. now we're going to -- >> i want to find organic. that's what i really want. >> you know wt these are? >> they look like mandarins, yes. >> they look like mandarins. taste this. are these canned or are they fresh? >> canned. >> what do you think? >> i'll say fresh. >> no, they are canned. but for an exotic fruit that can help. >> thank you very much. >> boy, you're doing great. >> i really am. >> this is corn. this is harder. fresh, frozen, canned, how do you know which is best? let's take a taste. >> isn't fresh always best? >> it's not always best because it can sometimes be too pricey for people.

so canned can be good. frozen can be good. >> needs salt. that's for darn -- i'm going to o'like this. because i like this color. mm-hmm. >> so what do you think? >> what do we like or -- >> which one do you like the best of all three of these? >> i like this one. >> you like the frozen one. >> yeah. >> i'll take the middle. >> that's the fresh one. this is the canned. but you know what? getting more fruits and vegetables every day is good. have what you can. eat what you like. and enjoy. >> it doesn't matter, what we learned here. eat what you want! just eat it! >> photos that will make you say -- >> i don't believe this woman. for an hour we talked about this. >> we'll be back. >> i can't believe that -- >> i know! >> get her off the stage. the heat is on. good morning. i'm meteorologist chris warren with your weather channel forecast. heat continues throughout a good portion of the east coast and

the midwest. but you see this right here. this rain, these storms we're going to have throughout the day today eventually will help cool things down. not the storms themselves but what's causing the storms. the cold front. so cooler air will be moving in to the northeast for you. so eventually we're going to see that cooler air. but once again today it is going to be another scorcher in the northeast. mid-atlantic and down into the south. you can see those temperatures starting to cool down. 70s behind the front. storms with the front. and hot out ahead of that front. so it's going to be a hot one again. then on friday we're still going to see some of those storms popping up in places. but you know what? this will be a sign that things are changing. it will be a bit of a bumpy transition. but nonetheless, it will be transitioning back to some cooler temperature readings. in fact, cooler at this point's relative. upper 80s and lower 90s. more significant cooling happens when that air really settles in.

so with the storms and the humidity it's not going to be a real big break on friday. but saturday you're back into the 80s there for new york. still in the upper 80s for d.c. and look at much of the heartland. even into the west now seeing some of that heat. and we're going to see a chance for some storms just in a few spots. and then on sunday a chance for a few showers around the great lakes and around florida things could be a little tricky around florida. could have a tropical system going on in the gulf by the end of the weekend and early next week. we're going to talk about that on the weather channel in days to come. so make sure you tune in for all the details on all that may develop in the gulf. but cooler air will be on the way for the northeast. remember, weekdays on the weather channel, you can wake up with al.

plenty of occasions to have a blast this summer if you need one. but if you do, alyssa rock has done the party pairing for you. >> very nice of you, alyssa. she's the co-founder and ceo of bottle notes, a website for wine enthusiasts like kathie lee. >> yes. and she's seven months pregnant. so i'm going to do the tasting for her too. >> good. >> give us some suggestions. >> if you're having a pool party this summer you can take the splash in more ways than one. >> yeah. >> you can have a wine like cannonball, which has a splash

theme. i know you like chardonnay, kathie lee. >> what time of the day are you talking about? >> i'd say you could start at 3:00 in the afternoon. >> 3:00 in the afternoon. n not 10:00 in the morning. >> i don't know. it tastes awfully good right now. >> sonoma county chardonnay. but if you want to go for a little more adventure you can host your own wine olympics this summer. have your guests bring wines from different countries or you yourselves can bring in wines from around the world. you can brown bag them, taste them blindly and then award your very own gold, silver, or bronze model. >> do something like this, keep them hidden. >> i think that's a cute idea. >> a nice party idea. >> please do that. better than sitting around talking to you and frank. >> but if you want to go with something traditional, a clam bake. >> nothing more fun. >> nothing more fun in the summer. with a clam bake you're definitely going to want to go with a sparkling wine or a full blush wine with some acidity. >> not red. >> no. you could do i alight bodied red

>> what's wrong with it? >> i'm not crazy about it. i like pinot grigio. it's lighter. >> but then we can also go -- if you're going for something like burgers, i actually love a red blend. and decoy by duck corn. >> duck corn's great. >> this is their second label. under $20. a great napa valley wine. merlot and cabernet. >> get to the last one because i want -- don't worry. happy birthday to christine capeldi, who's in our booth right now. there she is -- well, that's not -- it's her birthday today. >> it's not her picture? >> it is. >> i like her. she's cute. >> i want to thank my friend reege. hoda's back tomorrow. did you have a good time? >> fair. >> who's better, betty white or me? >> let me tell you something. don't overlook betty white. whoa. you've got to be a man to handle betty white. >> i know. you've got to come back and be with hoda
