physical safety. how? smart toys are often fitted with microphones, cameras, data storage, speech recognition and gps capabilities and toys connected to apps sometimes ask for a child's photo, which could be used to garner trust from a child and increase the risk of exploitation. in recent months, smart toys like my friend kayla have come under fire for allegedly recording children and connecting to unsecured bluetooth and wi-fi networks. the fbi did not call out any toys by name but advises parents to only connect and use the toys with trusted and secure wi-fi internet access. closely monitor your child's activity with the toys through a toy's app. use strong and unique passwords when creating user accounts, and only provide the bare minimum when filling out registration information. and of course, turn the toys off when not in use. toy time now subject to the same rules of the internet. for today, jolene kent, nbc

well, if you're looking to change up your dinner routine but love the ease of cooking pasta, you might want to try gnocchi. it's a little different from pasta we get in the box but it does have the same versatility. showing us how to make it at home is chef mikey freedman. always fun to have you here. last time we were making pizza do dough. >> i'm surprised you let me come back. >> we love having you. start off by telling

>> to, gnocchi, traditionally, it translates to "dumpling" so what americans really know as gnocchi is like that classic potato dumpling, that classic ricotta or even butternut squash but we don't know anything about gnocchi a la r o omana. >> this is your style. >> this is the roman style. i've just adopted it for the restaurant. >> i got you. >> so it's a very simple dough. it's pushed into a pan. we've got a little bit of milk. we've got some semolina, some burt and a little bit of parm and eggs and we mix that all together on the stove top. >> no potatoes. >> no potatoes whatsoever and you mix it on the stove top, so it gets hot, it's pushed into a pan, and then all we do is bake it. >> all right. so there's no rolling of the dough or anything like that. just put it together and push it in the pan. is there a key to make sure it comes out nice like this. >> cook it a

you do is chill it and cut it and reheat it and serve it with wonderful seasonal vegetables. so we have tomatoes, basil vinaigrette. it's a really great summertime, even fall dish. >> and is there any way to make this dish foolproof? it seems pretty simple compared to the way where you have to roll it out and cut off the dumplings. >> the recipe that you have online. >> i'm going to share it. >> it's truly foolproof. it's railroad eavery easy. you can't overcook this. just press it into the pan to get a little bit of color and what you have is something you can save for three to five days in the refrigerator, give it to your kids for a snack. if you're looking at this, this literally just comes right out of the pan. >> you can even freeze it. >> yeah. it's wonderful frozen. and it's got a lot of richness and a lot of kind of -- it's a great vegetarian meal if you t

on. so there's a lot of great stuff that goes into the gnocchi and you can really pair it with anything from a seasonal standpoint. >> what are some of your favorite sauces? >> this is -- we've just paired it with a lovely seasonal roasted peppers, basil vinaigrette and tomatoes. in the fall, you can do it with butternut squash and chick peas and we have it at the red hen in d.c. with marinated mushrooms. and it's very rich and decadent. and it's a great alternative to what people really know as those pillowy dumplings. this is another kind of really rich, fun thing, especially for families, for kids, you can make it ahead of time. really wonderful recipe. >> before you go, i want to talk about rammys and both your restaurants have been nominated. >> we've been very lucky to be

years now so we're up for upscale casual restaurant of the year and then all-purpose, which opened up last year is up for best new restaurant. i still love it. >> any special things that you're talking about this summer for either of those restaurants. >> we're doing a big change for red hen with a lot of the pastas. we have more tomato-focused things but sue key knzucchini, peppers, and they're hang and we're going to use those for sauces in the fall. >> this was delicious. tell us it's the gnocchi. >> a la romana, in the roman style. >> thank you for joining us. we need to check on the forecast once again because we are going to be cooking out there, sheena parveen, in the weather.

maybe do it in the shade or something. right now it's 91 degrees and it feels like 98. you can bet that some areas are going to be feeling over 100 as we go through the afternoon. plenty of sunshine, but take a look at what's going to happen over the next several days. normal high is 89 degrees. now, tomorrow, 97. friday, 98. saturday, 98. when you factor in the humidity, it's going to feel above 100. we're talking about feeling like 105. thursday, friday, potentially saturday we have a weather alert out tomorrow and friday because of the extreme heat, which obviously can be dangerous if you don't hydrate and stay cool. so, we're really stressing that for you. here's your beach forecast. if this is where you're heading to get a little bit of relief from the heat, the beach is going to be a perfect place as well as the pool, of course, but you'll need the sun block, sunburn in about 10 to 15 minutes. friday, 92, dry, saturday, late thunderstorms, most of the day, dry and hot around 90 degrees, sunday looks partly cloudy with afternoon storms, 91 if you're heading to the beach there. inland, we're going to be closer to 100 with our actual temperature but again, the

105, and as we go into thursday and friday, no rain relief there. saturday and sunday, that's when we have those afternoon storms. next week, we start in the mid-90s again but get a little bit of relief, down into the 80s as we go into next week so compared to these temperatures feeling like 105 over the next couple days, ima think next wee is a very welcome site in the ten-day forecast but stay hydrated, stay in the shade, never leave kids or pets in the car. way too hot for that. we'll be talking about this tomorrow and friday and even into the weekend as well. >> going to get through it. thanks so much. and that's news4 midday. thank you for being with us. we're back on the air this afternoon, first at 4:00. and you can get the news and weather updates any time with the nbc washington app. hope you have a great day and we'll see you tomorrow morning starting at 4:26. >> try to stay cool.
