to pass the budget. >> fortunately, we have some reserves that we can use and tip money that are from taxes that were generated by the citizens of chicago. it makes sense to take those taxes and support that effort. >> i think it's a great budget in the sense that there are no proposed fees or tax increases and i think the one time in history in which we cannot afford to contemplate or use words like revenue enhancements or taxes for any kind of those concepts. >> i think what the mayor is doing is trying to get a good budget where we don't hurt people in the city of chicago and make it balanced. >> reporter: but some aldermen won't vote for the budget saying it doesn't make sense to use rainy day funds knowing that one day in the future like next year the city will again face a budget crisis. >> it would seem to me this mayor who is announced that he is heading out the door doesn't

have to worry about the political implications. he could actually stand up and tell the truth about our budgetary situation and tough choices we have to make. he could put into place not a bunch of window dressing but serious reforms so that when we make these tough political decisions, we can do so without the accusation that we are not doing everything we can and cut out waste, inefficiency and corruption. >> reporter: what so far the budget not receiving too much opposition from the aldermen who know that to do otherwise to act fiscally responsible by enacting a budget that would require either raising taxes or cutting services would be unpopular and probably would not get them re-elected. outside city hall, robert jordan, wgn news. the developer in charge of the former chicago spire project has left their corporate offices just ahead of

possible sunshine. 40% is typical in november. one of our cloudier months so that's been a bonews. and-- bonus. and we had temperature 3-z .6 degrees above norm sol far. it's rather cloudy today and chunks of cool air on the move. but a real blast due later next week and into the following week which will take us through the final days of november and up to december. but you kind of expect that this time of year. we will be interesting is whether or not that cool blast next week spins up a storm in parts of the mid west. it might create travel challenges, particularly heading north from here. toward thanksgiving next week. it's 46 in mount prospect. palatine at 45. lowell and minooka near 40 degrees at this hour. 46 o'hare. 44 midway. we have a gusty wind from the west and it's chilly out there. 45 at niu. in de kalb. and mchenry at 43 degrees and there you have the temperatures plotted in map form with wheat

southwest and warms us up this weekend. but then there will be another system that will come over the top of this ridge and ride into -- ride into the country and in the middle of next week and could impact thanksgiving and tug cold air down. and the cold air is there in the continent. 46 our temperature here and 26 at williston, north dakota. 26 below in central yukon. the sun sets today in alaska and along -- and it won't come up for another two months. so this allows cold air to really take off. six minutes of daylight today in alaska and then it's gone until late january when the sun will next rise. so that's why the arctic region, that's going on through northern canada as well, why the arctic regions grow colder and colder at this time of the year. look how much of the country and continent is cooler than 24 hours ago as that cool air is on the move. we will get a chunk of it in here tomorrow. winds are northwest at 12. windchill is 41. humidity at 73%.

friday. we turn a little cooler saturday and even warmer air comes in sunday and monday we could see some low 60s perhaps on monday before things begin to really cool off after that. extensive cloudiness this afternoon. sprinkles, seasonally cool. high temperature 49. northwest winds at 5 to 16 miles per hour. then tonight, early clouds and sprinkles becoming partly cloudy late tonight. temperatures down to 32 and northwest winds at 5 to 16 miles per hour. generous sun but cooler tomorrow. a day in chilly air. high of 42. north, northwest winds blow and lake effect sprinkles or ice pellets and snowflakes in parts of the michigan snow belt heading toward berrian county and st. joe county perhaps even eastern laporte county in indiana. not in the immediate chicago area and friday partly sunny. windy and warmer with 35-mile- per-hour gusts pushing temperatures up to 51. now the weekend turns cooler, 40s on saturday but we go back

just bread. then some mushrooms. >> what kind did you choose? >> what i have here is pourtiony, crowmany. and baby and chantrols. you can go to whoalg foods and find these things there or even jiewl has a lot of these. i saute'ed these and a little bit of olive oil. pop them down right into that mixture of the bread. then i take raw garlic. this is one of those recipes where you get dirty doing it. it's okay. >> it's delicious. food is supposed to be played with. a little bit of parsley. roughly chopped and fresh thyme. >> that's it for as far as -- or going in here. spices, get a little bit of fresh pepper. i have a heavy hand with pepper. i like the seasoning but do this to taste. then a little bit of salt.

i'm using kosher salt. i like the way kosher salt works with cooking. that's what i prefer to use but you can work as sea salt. that's nice with this recipe. it's easy to do and kind of change this around if you don't like mushrooms, don't put the mushrooms in. >> what would you use instead? >> you could use onions, more garlic. go with a little spring onion. you can change it up a little bit. we love mushrooms, that's why we use it all the time. now some fresh goat cheese. >> i love goat cheese. >> flake it in. and this is the messy part. because goat cheese likes to stick to your hands. so i flake this goat cheese in. and after i wipe my hands down, here is a little secret ingredient. this is just chicken stock. you make your own, great. you can control the flavor. >> looks like two cups. >> this is a little bit more than we need. because i want to get this a little moist. i take that.

pour it in there. take my hands again. get nice and dirty. >> look how simple that is. >> it's very simple. i think with the tradition of thanksgiving, it should be a time to spend with our family. >> and just be grateful. >> be grateful. that's why it's my favorite holiday. >> mine, too. >> put it into an oven dish. you could eat this raw if you wanted to. >> we might do that. >> if you have it like, this you do this the day before. stick it in the fridge. makes it easier. >> bake it for about 20, 25 minutes until it's nice and hot and get a little bit of crustiness on it. here we have one of the baked portions. you see it's got the nice crustiness to it and be the bad thing. that bread is nice and crusty. >> it looks delicious. >> reach over there i have a fork and you can dive right in.
