Reporter frank and michelle, San Francisco Unified School District just told us that they received threats similar to the ones in l. A.

Unified School District shut down because of this threat. And there was criticism they overreacted. New york kept its schools open. But in both cases, officials went public and shared information about the threat.

Im told that district leaders are in a meeting right now so we hope to have those answers for you tonight. And ill keep you posted as we get more developments. All this just coming to light in the last couple of hours, right . Reporter yeah. That is correct, frank.

Today we talked about the green and white and today we are adding more color with purple asparagus. Tony tantillo tells us the best way to prepare it reporter well, todays tip of the day is going to be is purple asparagus. For some reason in the wintertime asparagus is great. And in the spring it becomes locally grown but right now, its being imported in. Very minimal very few are locally grown right now. So when you see purple asparagus, thats important, fairly expensive. Selection and storage to enjoy it. One thing about purple asparagus, when you overcook it, it turns green. So what i like to do, quick selection, purple from top to bottom, a lot of times, youre going to find purple asparagus with the white trunk. Thats how it is. You dont have to get rid of that white part. Just shave it down a little bit. So what i do when i but purple asparagus, i shave with the peeler halfway all the way down so you got purple and green after you shave it, white at the end. Then i just steam it and not too long. All the colors are vibrant. Add lemon juice and the colors are nice and vibrant. And delicious looking. You will love it. When you mix it with the white and green, asparagus salad hot or cold. And im tony tantillo, your fresh grocer. And always remember to eat fresh and stay healthy. This weeks jefferson award winner is spending her so called retirement working harder than ever.
