Night calling for the end of the war in gaza. Were live with the latest on what the students are asking the university to do. Then a bay area native is going pro a closer look at the number 13 pick, brock bowers and his napa valley roots. Live from jack london square. This is morning time two. The nine. Today is friday, april 26th. Were looking live at the San Francisco skyline, a little bit of overcast there, a little more sun than we had yesterday. And were going to talk about that weekend weather coming up in just a bit. It might be just a little warmer than weve had in the last few days. Absolutely. Well go and start the nine today on an important College Campus here, all eyes on campuses nationwide and here at home. Student protesters at stanford held a march and rally against the war happening now in gaza. As ktvu erasmus explains, that demonstration continues this morning. Ali with an encampment on the stanford campus. Yes, an encampment. Garcia and also the organizers here say they plan on having a day of what they called program. Some talks, some information sessions , some activities that theyre going to have here for other students. This is all taking place at white memorial plaza. This is tucked away kind of in the center of the stanford campus. And this is where dozens of student protesters spent the night in tents after a march and rally yesterday. We will not stop. We will not rest. This was the last several hundred people marched through the Stanford University campus yesterday, with signs and some Holding Palestinian flags to protest the war in gaza. They are calling on the university to divest from companies with ties to the israeli government. The student protesters tell us that they believe the current conflict in the middle east and their activism for the palestinian cause. They see it as being very similar to the student protests decades ago that called for an end to apartheid in south africa. And they also see a lot of parallels and similarities with other international antiwar causes from previous decades. The biggest encouragement is just to learn, just to read, just to understand the history of israelpalestine and understand more of palestinian culture and understand more of all of these sort of oppressed groups that we dont get taught about in schools. The group here is part of a wave of student demonstrations against the war in gaza that have taken over dozens of College Campuses across the country in recent weeks. Across the bay at uc berkeley, there is a similar setup there with propalestinian protesters whove set up tents at sproul plaza. Now, here at stanford. In a post on social media, some of the protesters shared a copy of this notice the university gave them last night. The notice says that their encampment is a violation of university policy, and that the failure to remove the tents could result in disciplinary action, even so, the students taking part in this demonstration here say they dont plan on going anywhere today. We did see some Law Enforcement officers kind of observing this demonstration from a distance. There was about a half a dozen of them that were taking appear to be taking notes and taking pictures of the people gathered here for this demonstration. We dont have any word yet from stanford as to if or when the university will take additional steps to make the people here move. Live in palo alto. Allie rasmus, ktvu, fox two news. Allie. Thank you. There have been propalestinian protesters on the campus of Columbia University in new york city for more than a week now. Minnesota congresswoman ilhan omar joined the student protesters, including her daughter, yesterday, the University Says it is in talks with the student demonstrators. Jewish students at the University Say theyre upset that no one is talking about the hostages remaining in gaza. You cant deny what happened. You cant deny that people suffered. You cant deny that our families was there. You cant deny that our friends and families are still fighting to end this war, to, to, to the fighting against the terror organization, the fighting to bring the hostages. Its really concerning. In los angeles, usc is canceling its main commencement ceremony, saying new Safety Measures on campus mean it would not be possible to process the 65,000 people who usually attend the event. Well, new this morning, an investigation by the Associated Press has found that at least 16 people died in california over a decade following encounters with police, during which they were injected with a sedative. Several of the deaths happened in the San Francisco bay area, including two in recent years involving people restrained by the Richmond Police department. Other places with cases include los angeles and san diego, as well as cities in orange and San Bernardino counties. The ap says it was not able to determine the exact role the injections may have played in the deaths. The idea behind sedation is to calm people who are combative, critics say the practice can be too risky. Back to that developing story weve been following all morning here in San Francisco, as crews now have the upper hand on what was for a time, a raging fire that gutted a four story residential building. The two alarm fire was burning on clay street at lyon, not far from the Presidio Branch library, the Fire Department says. When crews arrived, the building was fully engulfed in flames. We spoke live with the captain from the San Francisco Fire Department about the large response and how the weather played a role in the firefight. When firefighters arrived, that wind that you just heard about was pushing smoke for blocks. Heavy smoke, visibility was very low and it was very dangerous for our firefighters in the wind and in the midst. Again, at this point, the fire is for the most part out crews. Theyre still busy putting out any hot spots. No one was living legally in the building, according to the fire captain we talked with, the fire did not spread to neighboring buildings. And boy, thats good news, especially rosemary. When you think about those high winds. And oftentimes buildings are so close to each other, really, its fortunate that nothing worse happened. Yeah, absolutely. You said it gasia with the winds there not only fanning the flames and causing that spread to move faster, we could see embers, you know, of course jump and create new fires. So thankfully that didnt happen. The winds are with us not only right now but expected for the entire day in fact, going to grow stronger into the afternoon. Heres a live look at the golden gate. We started out with mostly cloudy skies. We had a little bit of wet pavement. The scattered showers are moving out, but the wind is moving in across the bay area. Here you can see still partly sunny conditions closer to the coast and just inside the bay and into the sierra. Snow continues here for most of the day with levels down to about 6000ft. So right about lake level we could see a rain snow mix. Although we are above freezing at this point over the lake, this storm is going to move to the east and in its wake the wind is developing already breezy, conditions expected and Even Stronger for the second part of the day. Right now, novato reporting a wind gust to 28. Napa is reporting gusts to 23 over towards the peninsula. Sfo reporting a wind gust to 33. San jose to 24, Half Moon Bay 21 along the bridges for today. Do expect to hold tight to the will probably advisories will be issued by the chp for the wind. Big rock reporting 31. Mount diablo reporting 34 and the color coding on this futurecast model. Pretty much says it all by about noon time. 1 00 widespread red yellow orange across the bay area and some pinks even over our Higher Elevation and closer to the coast in the to the evening hours. It does pull back, but it takes pretty much all day and we are likely to remain with still breezy conditions along the coast and in San Francisco, where San Francisco right now 56 degrees for the inner east bay 56 in walnut creek. Our afternoon highs a little bit below average around the bay. More so for our inland communities. 67 the afternoon high in the north bay of napa, as well as the inner east bay of concord into the extended forecast. The winds begin to die down tomorrow. Tomorrow could be a little breezy, but nothing like today. And our temperatures increase. Low 60s at the coast to low 70s inland on saturday a tad warmer on sunday. The warming trend continues monday into tuesday. Back to you. Thank you.

But as you can see right now, our camera focusing on that procession set to begin in just about 15 minutes from now, taking officer wingates casket to Castro Valley, where there will be a service held at Three Crosses Church Starting at 11 a. M. Well keep you posted and have more coming up later in this newscast. All right. Some High School Students in santa rosa say they do not want Police Officers to return to their school campus. That comes as a School District reviewed a report that concluded having Police Officers Patrol School campuses doesnt make students feel any safer. What we do see in the question of the perception of safety at school is that over the last three years, we have seen a decline and that that information is shared not only at the student level, but we do see that same sort of decline at both the staff level and the family level. If we dont hold the Mou Committee accountable to draft a Pilot Program that recognizes the current politics of policing within the city of santa rosa and sonoma county, we will continue to disproportionately harm bipoc communities. Four years ago, the four years ago, the School District in santa clara removed Police Officers from all high school campuses. But last december, the board took the first step toward bringing them back following several violent incidents on campus. California lawmakers are considering a bill that would change how homework is assigned to students. The healthy homework act would require School Districts and teachers to consider the mental and physical strain on students. When assigning homework. The bill advanced in the assembly on wednesday. Where does it go from here . Well turn to stanford child psychologist doctor Casey Krieger to help us sort of understand whats at stake. Thanks for being with us. Hi. Thank you for having me. Of course, now its important to say this is not a ban on homework so all the kids can settle down. This is a push to have teachers assign whats being called more meaningful homework. What does that mean to you . So homework is only helpful if children find it valuable and if theyre engaged. And also if its of appropriate duration. So meaningful means to think about the quality and the quantity. More isnt always better. I mean, just days ago my middle schooler said to me, hes hes doing pretty well in spanish, but hes not doing a small part of his online work. I said, just do it. And he said, if i know what it is, then why do i have to do it . And the best answer i could give was life requires us to jump through hoops and the better you jump through them, the more opportunities youll have. And i feel bad even saying it now. Yes, yes. I mean, of course, you know, its a valuable lesson for kids to learn. There are some things that we have to do, but its more valuable for people to feel, you know, fulfilled in the work that theyre doing and feel that its meaningful and contributing to their, their learning and life skills. So lets say there are 30 children in that spanish class, right . Ten of them may be up here, ten of them down here. More kind of in the mushy middle. Teachers are doing so, so much. How do you think a teacher could teach to each level, all in the same amount of time . I think that its important to make some things optional for children that are really, you know, high achieving and want to push themselves and motivate themselves, so giving a variety of lessons and extra work thats available, but not necessarily grading everything thats, thats offered, i see. So the kid with the a may not have to do the duolingo time online every night. But the child whos struggling. We may really check up to see how theyre doing. Lets talk about the Mental Health aspect of this all. What do you see in your practice when it comes to children and homework and burnout . Yes. So were facing a youth Mental Health crisis, about 1 in 5 children in the us have a mental, emotional, developmental or behavioral disorder, rates of anxiety and depression are just increasing over time, rates of Mental Health disorders also increase with age. Anxiety is the most common Mental Health disorder in adolescents, so marginalized groups are also more vulnerable, including children from low income households, as we all know that not all homes are created equal. So some kids have a distinct advantage over others when completing work, right . Not, children. Yeah. Children consider not primary has the internet connection. Not everybody has the laptop. Not everybody has a parent who can sit with them and help them through the algebra or whatever, does this ramp up as a child gets older . Im thinking in particular about that crucial junior year of high school. Definitely, definitely. I mean, the homework load increases and some of that is appropriate. But theres a fine line between whats appropriate and whats too much, so its a problem if homework is interfering with a childs ability to sleep and to engage in other activities that actually promote Mental Health status, such as sports and extra curricular activities and socialization, time with family and friends is, and rest and relaxation time is crucial. Also so how does a parent know its time to maybe step in to that child teacher relationship, or even seek professional counseling outside the school . Yes. So look for avoidance and excuses to evade homework and school. Look for anger, irritability, and arguing about completing homework as well as trying easily. Persistent sad mood difficulty concentrating. Some children exhibit somatic symptoms such as stomach aches or headaches, so its important to seek professional counseling if difficulties cause distress for your child or your family, theres a need to intervene. If a childs behavior or mood problems interfere with their functioning at school, at home, or with friends. And boy, ill tell you that just that one child can affect the entire family. So doctor Casey Krieger, i wish we had more time, but well have to leave it there. Thank you so much for your help on this difficult topic. Thank you. Of course, coming up here on mornings on two and nine, how do you feel about flying . 1 in 4 americans say theyre afraid to take to the sky what sfo is doing to help calm peoples fears, and whats in the air thats causing some extra anxiety. Then the former publisher of the National Enquirer is back on the stand in former president trumps criminal trial in new york, the expected direction of the questioning in the socalled hush on trial adam was exposed, the oakland based Health Care Provider tells the sfgate that certain online tools previously installed on its websites and mobile apps may have exposed patient names, symptom searches and other data to third party vendors. Kaiser says about 13. 4 Million People will get a notification about the breach. Its not clear when the breach originally occurred. The national highway Traffic Safety Administration Says its opening an investigation into teslas autopilot recall to determine if the company did enough to address issues with its driver assistance system back in december. Tesla recalled the autopilot system deploying an overtheair software update, which was supposed to safeguard against drivers misusing the system. Now, the federal agency says its concerned whether teslas remedy was sufficient because there have been more tesla crashes since the recall, possibly related to the autopilot system. As former president Donald Trumps socalled hush money trial enters day eight in new york, more testimony is expected from media mogul david pecker. Foxs Madeline Rivera has the latest on the case from washington. Former President Donald Trump returning to court in manhattan friday as the criminal trial over alleged hush money payments enters day eight. I think yesterday went very well in this courthouse case should be over thursday, trump praised david pecker, a sexual witness who has been testifying since monday. Davids been very nice and nice guy. But thursday, the former publisher of the National Enquirer revealed new details about burying negative stories to shield trumps 2016 president ial campaign, including a 150,000 deal with a former playboy model who said she had an affair with trump, pecker testified the enquirer bought the rights to carry mcdougals story, but never published her allegations as a tactic known as catch and kill. Pecker told the jury, quote, we didnt want the story to embarrass mr. Trump or embarrass or hurt the campaign. Today was a breathtaking. In this room, you saw what went on. It was breathtaking and amazing testimony. This is a trial that should have never happened. This is a case that should have never been filed. And it was really an incredible prosecutors are making the case. The catch and kill scheme amounted to election interference. The question is, are people who are committed to voting because the real for the rest of us, the question is, are the people who are committed to voting for donald trump again for the third time, are they affected by any of this today . Trumps legal team will have the opportunity to crossexamine pecker mather rivera, ktvu, fox two news. Its april, but it feels like football season once again. Coming up on mornings on two. The nine. Were talking live with the host of 49 carats podcast about the new edition. The 40 niners made it in the first round of the nfl draft, and what they could do during the second and third rounds. Plus Law Enforcement from around the bay area is gathering in the east bay to honor the fallen, the life of a fallen officer. Officer jordan wingate, were live. As Oakland Police pre s go with some clouds above. Still a bit of sunshine. Its cool out there for sure. This is jacket or sweatshirt weather, but the weekend is going to be for the most part, dry. And if youre staying at home, thats great news. If youre flying, who knows what youll face. 1 in 4 americans say they are afraid to fly. This year, the fear of flying clinic held at sfo says its seeing the most demand class. Most demand for classes ever, the chairwoman of the clinic tells the sfgate. The clinic thats aimed at addressing aviophobia says the april 2024 class is the busiest shes ever seen. Some of that may be due to a busy travel season, but some participants in the class say theyve been pointing out that all this news about the airline industry, some recent headlines about, you know, the door flying off and other issues, the video thats all over social media is making their somewhat small fears a lot bigger. So what do you think . Do you ever have concerns about flying and has it stopped you from taking any big trips . No, no, none at all. I mean, it just happens so rarely. It would just i think statistically, statistically worse off driving to work. Yeah. So you know, and ive always reported on that stat and you know, so i dont really worry myself too much about it i like it i think about it a little bit, but you know, the other alternative sometimes is making an impossible drive. Or in the case of hawaii, literally impossible drive. Right . Yeah. So. Right, you know, you have to do what you have to do, right . But sometimes i do think about it, especially with all the problems. I think that the first time i ever thought about this is going back 20 plus years. A friend of mine at my old station said that her family made sure never to all travel on the same airplane. And i said, oh, rachel, why . And she said, because if the plane goes down, youre all. And i thought, oh, so i had never i mean, its a grim its a grim thought. But no, i have heard of that. And i have heard of that. But it is a grim thought i dont okay, good, good. Its a practical thought. Right, right. You know, but its just not something you want to think about, man. The mood on this show has gone down. Its like a plummet. But it made such an impact on me. All those years ago, i thought id throw it out. All right, well, lets stick with the travel theme here, shall we . Bring things up a little . Yeah, exactly. Here are the results from our poll. So far, weve mentioned earlier this hour. We ask, would you be willing to take on debt for summer fun . And the answers are travel 82, would dining out 7. And entertainment 11. Im a little surprised by how many people would be willing to go into debt. Maybe they should have put in no no debt. One of these. But you never know. Anyway. You can still vote. Just scan the qr code on the top right of your screen or head to ktvu. Com vote. Its a new thing, by the way. You know, since the pandemic, people are just saying, right, forget it. Im going to live my life. Ill do it. My life. Yeah. Tomorrows not promised. Exactly. I get it. And many people probably travel to detroit. The heavily anticipated first round of the nfl draft officially over as football fans will now start researching who their new additions are and are looking forward to the future round. And of course, for players this is the time many of them have their dreams realized. For more on this, including a hometown kid who is going to be with a team that used to play here in the bay area. Bailey. Thats right. Sal. Yeah, the Oakland Raiders have a new member of their team. Good morning to everybody at home. 32 Football Players had their dreams realized when their name was called by nfl commissioner roger goodell, including that bay area native brock bowers. Bowers, who grew up in napa, is heading to the raiders. Bowers attended Redwood Middle School and then played High School Ball at napa high before heading off to college at georgia. And it wasnt, as sal mentioned, wasnt too long ago where when the raiders called oakland home and when bowers was a kid, he actually went to their Training Camps as a fan. Of course, his role significantly different when this new season rolls around. But last night, his alma mater held a Draft Viewing Party in the gym at napa high. There were kids of all ages there. We caught up with his former High School Coach who said brocks done things the right way since day one. He also spoke to us about the important, how important this moment is to the community. Me its huge man. It means everything. It represents our school, you know, and Napa Community is were tight knit people, man. Were all going to be cheering for them. Theyre going to sell a lot of raider jerseys, ill tell you that much. And as celebrations were going on in napa for bowers niners fans, were on the edge of their seat waiting for that anticipated selection. They drafted wide receiver ricky parsell out of florida with the 31st pick. I was definitely shocked to see San Francisco pop up on my phone and i picked it up. And, you know, obviously i was meeting everybody and hearing what everybody had to say. And, man, i was just super excited and blessed to have this opportunity to do this. So heres a fun fact. Parcell actually played against a 40 niners quarterback, brock purdy, in high school. And then in college, he played alongside 49ers receiver Brandon Aiyuk at my alma mater, arizona state. Now both deebo samuel and Brandon Aiyuk are, at least as of now, still niners. So many fans are asking, well, why take a receiver . Well, its likely a way for the niners to start prepping for the future. As aiyuk enters the last year of his rookie deal, the niners will have their work cut out for them when it comes to dealing with that salary cap. Now, the niners did say, though its unlikely that theyll trade either deebo or by the second and third round of the draft are tonight. The niners have the 63rd overall pick in the second round and the 94th in the third round. Back to you guys. All right bailey that draft never seems to go like my mock draft i dont know why the San Francisco 40 niners surprised a lot of people with their first round pick of a wide receiver. Last night. That might have some wondering, as bailey mentioned, whats going to happen to the other teams receivers. For more analysis on this and more on the draft, lets go to Stephanie Sanchez of the 49ers 49ers podcast. Welcome back to the show. I have to say, i was surprised. Im not upset. I do watch sec football. I know who Ricky Pearsall is. Ive seen him make some great catches over the last few years, especially last year. So im kind of excited as a 40 niners fan. Yeah, i mean im excited too. Theres reason for optimism for sure. I dont think, you know, the 40 niners taken a wide receiver for this early in the draft was a surprise. When you look at the fact that, you know, this could be debos final season with the niners, Jauan Jennings is on a one year deal. I think for a lot of fans, including myself, when i first saw the pick, i think it was Ricky Pearsall that early, you know, maybe it was too early, right . You had Ladd Mcconkey from georgia still available. Xavier legette, who went right after the 40 niners pick, but, you know, i kind of wondered, you know, maybe the 40 niners figure he wouldnt be available for their second round pick. And, you know, maybe the start of the second round would have a lot of Wide Receivers going, including maybe to adam peters to the commanders. You know they might have known that adam peters liked him. So just something i thought about. Yeah. And you know steph theres really nothing wrong. The way i see it, a lot of 40 niners fans see adding another skilled position, adding another weapon for brock purdy. But what concerns me is that brock purdy and Brandon Aiyuk have made such a good connection. I wouldnt want the 40 niners to lose that. But you never know. All three receivers, you know aiyuk, debo and pearsall could be on the team this next year. Yeah they could. And it seems like Brandon Aiyuk at least you know is pretty fond of the pick. You know bailey just mentioned that they played together for a year at asu and apparently Brandon Aiyuk texted john lynch and Kyle Shanahan said fire pick. Cant lie, and you know, theres reasons to like pearsall, right . Hes extremely athletic. He, he tested as one of the most athletic Wide Receivers in this draft, ran a 4. 31 excellent body control, handeye coordination. And i mean, you see some one handed grabs in his tape as well. So hes hes a bit of an exciting player that way. And ill say this there are some things that he was asked to do in florida that reminds me a bit of the role that deebo samuel has with the 40 niners today. I mean, he gets the ball behind the line of scrimmage quite a bit and around screens. So that could maybe tell you what the 40 niners are envisioning for their future. Maybe they want a real a true slot receiver. And maybe theyre thinking that way. Before we go, steph, i want to mention if the 40 niners here have any needs, you like them to fill in. Coming up in the upcoming picks here. Well definitely tackle i think is something you know the 40 niners could use. Blake fisher Roger Rosengarten are definitely some guys who could potentially be available for their pick at 63. And i also think a corner is something theyre going to want to look at early. There was a corner available. There are two corners available at their pick. At 31. They didnt go that route. So maybe in the second round. All right Steph Sanchez if you havent seen her podcast or listen to her talk about the 40 niners. Always a good time. Thank you for joining us on ktvu. Thanks, al. All right howard happening right now. Were taking a live look. Were about to take a live look now at oakland, where Police Officers from across our region are gathering this morning to honor an oakland Police Officer who died in an on duty crash.

Today, the department is again in mourning over the loss of officer jordan wingate, who died from injuries sustained in a crash back in 2018.

You can expect to see caravans of Law Enforcement officers from other cities on bay area freeways, as well as fire trucks on freeway overpasses, paying their respects. In a few minutes from now, oakland Police Officers will begin forming up outside the church to prepare for a formal inspection before wingates casket arrives. The funeral begins at 11 this morning. Officer wingate was hurt in a crash back in 2018 that involved his patrol car, another car and a big rig parked at the port of oakland. He died on saturday at the age of 28. Today, we expect to hear from a number of speakers, including interim Oakland Police chief darren allison. Wingates father, retired Oakland Police captain randy wingate, and other family members and friends. Earlier this week, we did talk to randy wingate. He spoke to ktvu about his sons compassion and empathy while on the job. Somebody sent me a video of him talking to a homeless person and, he just walked up, and it was it was a lady. And somebody had called. The one of the homeless person moved. And then they told me at the end of the, you know, the video is pretty short. Its just jordan talking and it you would think jordan actually, you know, knew the person the way he was talking to her. Now officer wingate, who medically retired in 2020, will be buried in a private ceremony today in lafayette. Live in Castro Valley. Henry lee ktvu, fox two news. Henry. Thank you.

We actually do a lot of brunch dishes at folk table, on the weekends. So this is kind of one of the things im doing it at home, but kind of showing you what we do at folk table. All right. Yeah. Show to it. So were going to start over here first. This is the setup. It looks beautiful. Its colorful. Talk a bit about it. Well okay. So this is like your traditional bagels and lox. But in this situation, weve got the bagels all ready. Ready to go. Theres only three dishes. So you kind of want to put everything on a platter and get it to go. If you dont want to do smoked salmon, you could do smoked turkey or salami, or you could really sub out whatever. One of the differences there. And then you also have olives, peppers, cucumbers. Yeah, some spicy peppers, some watermelon radish. Just have fun with it okay. One of the most great greatest things about this is my everything cream cheese. So you whip the cream cheese with your boiled eggs, with your chives, with your black pepper, and just get it ready to go so you dont have all these little dishes. Yeah. Okay. So together you you put it all together. All right, all right. Next we have the cooking portion of all of this. So and what exactly were going to be making now okay so this is a sandwich, you can buy store bought croissants here. Literally take a nonstick pan and get it going over a medium high heat. And were going to just create sort of a cheese quesadilla, which were going to spread around, on the pan here and get this going to where. What do you have it on there. Cooking it on medium. Medium hot. Yeah. Medium high. You just kind of want to make sure theres a nice Little Cheese bed in there going i we struggle with that when im cooking. Yeah. What should it be on. Yeah a medium hot hot a lot of questions. Simmer on low. Yeah im sure a lot of dont want to mess up the whole cooking all the ingredients that you have. All right. What do you got next. Absolutely. Okay so what im going to have you do is go ahead and, lets were going to just were going to get some aioli on this bread. So see you on the end there. Theres some here. All right. We have this little tool which is an offset spatula. Highly recommend. You want me to just go ahead and spread it on there. This is a pesto aioli because this is more of an italian inspired okay. Sandwich perfect. So i have some mortadella which were going to put inside in a little bit of a arugula and a little bit of jam because i like that. So delicious. All right. So you can see the cheese is starting to melt. This is exactly what we want okay. All right. What do we do next. Yeah. Were going to take this bread and were going to set it right down on top of the cheese there. Here. Yep. And so like youre thinking like a sandwich you know. Except were going to use this cheese as part of our delicious little crust. All right. So some choices for you. Like i was saying that theres a little arugula and a little bit of the jam. Always good. Get set up. All right. Do you still want me to use the same tool. Yeah a different tool. Different tool. All right. Some tongs. All right. And some whatnot. Well do a little bit of this. All right. So how do you want to okay. And so describe what is this again. This is a fruit compote. So in this i used kumquats because i really like that flavor. Nice. All right. All right. So you can see that this is starting to get a little crispy. This is exactly what we want. You just kind of want to spin the pan around. You got everything going here. Bubbles are nice. This is perfect. Im actually going to have you just put a little bit of this in this bowl. Were getting ready here okay. Were almost there. All right. Were going to flip this out onto a plate. Im going to show you exactly how this is going to go. Got too much of this but okay. Oh yeah thats great. All right. So grab that spat right there. Yeah. All right. All right. So you can see that its starting to come together. We just want to release it from the edges. And this is a nonstick pan. So youre not using any Additional Oil in it. Sliding around the cheese has enough oil right. Yep. All right. So once we get this going im just going to give it another second im sorry tv time we can talk about all the things. Yes. Lets talk about wine. How about that. Yes. So you paired this with wine. Here. Talk a little bit about what you have there while this cooks. So weve got this brut rose here by j vineyards. Delicious i love brut rose with brunch because it just goes with everything. Feels like it should go with all your freshness here. Your cream cheese is really lovely. And then my all Time Favorite pinot from sonoma, which is just its just such a beautiful pinot. I cant say enough about it, but all of this pairs well with brunch foods. So all right, what were going to do is were just going to turn this out and the most interesting way. Yeah we got it. Oh let me see okay. So look at that crispy cheese. All right. And now here is when youre going to stuff it with all the things you like. So put a little jam okay. Put a little mortadella ill grab that jam. Do you recommend for this one. Well just a little dabll do ya. I think. Yeah. You think so. All right. Yep. All right. So get some mortadella. Well get some of this arugula in here. And if youre feeling adventurous, you could put a fried egg, which would be lovely in there. But look, you just fold this over and you have these beautiful crispy. I was wondering how it was going to come out when you were showing me this. Okay, now i understand. Now it looks delicious and smells delicious at the same time. Yes. And i would love for you to try it. Im just going to just cut a little edge off here. And how much would you say this whole brunch here would run you . This is besides the smoked salmon, which can be a little pricey, but you dont have to do it. Go ahead. Theres a piece right there.
