Next here on wbtv news saturday morning, a program to help College Students find work after they graduate. A look at the numbers coming up in a special economic report. With wbtv news saturday morning. scal good day, mlady i am sircanalot, here to save you from another breakfast bore. Wake up those eggs with glorious spam brody there is a lot going on here. Lyndsay a lot. Brody do you know what were doing . Lyndsay i have no idea. Brody we have product test, i have all the bells and whistles we need here. Were trying out, i like the idea of the product, ill give you the quick gist. Chef eggs, instead of peeling eggs off the hard boiled eggs, you crack the egg in these devices right here and then you boil these devices and then you plop out the egg. Lyndsay interesting, that is funny weve done a product you boil it and then it remember that thing where it gets the shell off right away . Brody it sort of works. Lyndsay this is kind of the reverse in a way. Brody i dont know how official, we have a an egg contraption every week. Lyndsay what else can we brody to give you an idea, ill learn how to do this before we test product. But lyndsay that would be nice. It gives you six in one box. In case you need to hard boil six. Brody i get a good dozen so i have them for the week. So you see the devices you crack the egg. We already tested this, our producer did, well show you the final product, well crack eggs in the little devices later to show you how it works. And im kind of curious to see how it turned out. This is something i would use because sometimes it works for me the peel comes off right away, other times by the time i get all the peel off im gown to the yolk, a wild scene. Lyndsay well see coming up. A wild scene, all right. We have again cold weather on the way for the weekend and big storm for monday. A lot to touch on here. So we can show it to you after just being able to talk about it but not necessarily track it over the past couple days, our storm is now over land, over the pacific northwest, a look at where it is now, this is also good now because our weather models are able to get a much better handle on a storm that is actually over land. So hopefully our picture will become clearer over the next 2448 hours, we can pinpoint the details better as far as the snow, sleet and freezing rain mix. In the short term, we have got our arctic area of High Pressure over the upper midwest. This is what will be the weather maker for the weekend, so the air beneath this arctic high is just bitter cold as you can imagine, we have below zero readings all the way in places like minneapolis, where it is six below and these are actual air temperatures, this is not your windchill, 5 in chicago right now, that makes our 28 in charlotte in comparison not look will be headed our way, spreading south and east, which is why you will hear about potentially record breaking cold, dangerous windchills in new england and northeast, and for us here, well below average temperatures we dont anticipate any record breaking locally, that is still going to be about 20 below average. 37 the high today. With lows tonight in the teens. 15 will be our overnight low tonight. All right, lets talk about monday with all the cold this weekend that is going to be setting the stage for this to start as a wintery mix, first thing monday morning. That arctic High Pressure will be situated off to the northeast, that cold will be stuck in place so by the time this system comes in from the southwest, on sunday morning and will be cold enough to support first just plain snow for everyone and then a mix of snow to sleet to freezing rain through the midmorning hours, this is futurecast at 8 00 a. M. , you see more pink indicating transition could occur as early as 8 00 a. M. From snow to sleet to freezing rain, and then as the system comes in from the west, draws in more of a south wind. The south wind is agreeing to warm things up enough this cold gets pushed back farther north and anything wintery, anything frozen or icy changes over to just rain by the time we talk about monday night and into tuesday. That is why amounts with this should stay fairly low, two of the main models the gfs and european for total snow fall accumulation keep things under an inch, we think that is a good estimate, an inch, maybe just eclipsing 12 inch mark for us before everything changes over to just rain by monday night and into tuesday. Storm pulls out by tuesday and then look at that, the rest of the week, finally well have more spring like weather, warming things up nicely to the upper 50s to near 60 by time brody, back over to you.

The program is geared toward minorities and women. Heres why. Were looking to basically level the Playing Field for underrepresented populations in the workforce.

Kristen miranda met a young woman who spent years trying to solve her mystery. Watch the needle in the haystack way she found her father. [ music ] amazing grace. Growing up wasnt exactly easy for jamie nader. There were things she couldnt explain. Mixed kid growing up in a white family. Nobody knows what i am, who my father is and it was just hard not knowing. I just always wanted to feel like i belonged somewhere. Technology stepped in to help her search. She took an ancestry dna test t. I felt like i was going to get one step closer to the answer but didnt feel like i would get the answer. The test showed she is of african descent. Here is the cool part about the test, it matches you with other people who have taken to it see if you have any cousins, people with your similar genetic makeup. She did. She reached out, three times to a woman who she thought could be the right age to be her aunt and she eventually heard back. My aunt didnt know what to think at first. It was a hard pill to swole low. Swallow. She messaged, then a phone call. Her niece. She felt we could have been sisters, might have been cousins. Long story short, this woman called her brother and first thing he said was he was in the same city as the same times as my mom in 1985. He didnt know about her, or her mother was pregnant. Shows the power in which dna testing can do for the individual and unlock the story that we want to find out for ourselves, so priceless in the what you can find out until you take the test and start on the path. Nearly 30 year mystery, solved in months in this case. Think about that time line. In september, jamie took the test. In november, she tracked down the man she now says she knows as her dad, this is the moment they met.

This might be the only picture she will have with her parents. I see i am a combination of the two of them. A feeling she worried she would never have. I didnt feel like my story was done, like i had these strong instincts there was there was. That. She didnt want a life unloved. A lot of people would look at coincidence. Yeah, no, it is not.

More so lately. Our producer loves alabama shakes. Night will be almost over with, at least, but until then, we have to tell you about it. A live look overuptown from over uptown, overall the sky is mostly clear for us with the sun coming up behind our skyline. Official sunup at 7 12, very cold, 28 in charlotte right now, we have teens in the mountains and check out the temps upstream, this is just arctic High Pressure responsible for the temperatures, it is 18 below, that is the actual temperature, that is not your windchill, that is how cold the air already is, 18 below in winnipeg, 5 in chicago, beneath the arctic high and that is what will be responsible for the weather during the weekend as that continues to slide south and east, it keeps things very cold for us, not only locally, but through much of new england as well. Record temperatures will be then,challenged. This storm will be here by daybreak monday morning. Highs in the teens, you see more sun as you drop southeast from there. So right around the freezing mark in the foothills today, mid to upper 30s for the charlotte area, call it 37 with a mostly sunny sky and pretty much full sun across the upstate as well with the highs continuing in the upper 30s. Tonight, the coldest we go, drop to 15 for the overnight low in the charlotte area, not recordbreaking but it is cold enough and just for perspective, 5 below is not only the record low temperature for tonight, but also the alltime record low temperature in charlotte since records have been kept. This is the coldest it ever was recorded. So it would be pretty impressive if we were to break an all time record low and though wont be and that wont be happening. Clouds tomorrow, 7 00 a. M. Around for valentines day, and then by daybreak, monday, here we go, this is 4 00 a. M. , with the snow showers in place by the time we wake up, first thing monday morning and then we start to see a transition over to ice. Ill show you here instead of futurecast, what is actually going on and why, we are going to see that transition, thread this red indicates warmer air moving in. More warm air moves in, first in the upper levels of the atmosphere, which is why we transition from snow, then to sleet, then to freezing rain, and then once we warm things up enough, not only aloft but at the surface, that is when we see the transition just to rain and again, here is Going Forward in time, so by about noon, that may be a little bit early on the timing but looks like by the afternoon and evening, the snow, sleet, ice is replaced by just rain, by monday afternoon, tuesday, we stay in the upper 30s, storm ends as rain tuesday and by later part of next week, we not only have sunshine but warmer temperatures, high of 60 by next friday.

Brody excited to have Bonefish Grill back in studio to talk about valentines day dishes that might help you out. Julie randle, great to see you. Hello. Happy valentines day weekend. Same to you. We have really great ideas for you. If youre looking to go all out, this is a good way to go. First all what are we starting a classic surf and turf. Filet mignon. Worchestershire sauce, maybe even some dijon mustard, just a little bit. Crack fresh salt and pepper. You have two filets. How much mustard did you put . About a teaspoon. Then you can kind of give it a coating and let it sit there for maybe 5, 10 minutes. Does this benefit from marinating longer or okay for a couple minutes . I always say marinate as long as you want, more flavor will go in the meat that way. You coat them and you recommend throwing them on the grill . We like to grill. Four to six minutes on each side depending on the doneness, too cold outside, put it in the cast iron skillet, in the stove. What is in your opinion the ideal temperature, medium, medium well . I like my steaks medium, pink however you like your steak, cook it to the doneness you like. Im with you, i do like that medium if you have a good cut like a filet. Youre doing the surf and turf. This is our lobster tail. Get the ribs cut. I was going to say im happy this. I had this adventure at home a year ago, you start on the underneath part. You have to snip the under part to get in there and then use your kitchen shears and cut down the middle. Get the little bit of a v so this meat will come out. Use a cocktail fork or teaspoon to loose tn the meat and should come out. Cut the ribs first and then work your way through the actual shell. Thats right. Perfect. To get the meat out, how are you cooking that, what is if youre at home ive seen you can boil it, broil it. Steaming is the best way. Little old bay spice, shake a little on there, as much or little as you like and steam for four or five minutes. What does steaming do that is better than other ways to prepare it . You dont want to boil it, all the flavor will come out. I much prefer steaming plus when you fan the tails out you steam it, it is a beautiful plate presentation. Your date is going to be impressed. You have other ideas and i understand you guys are doing the sunday brunch tomorrow for valentines day, what do you have featured. The cream brulee, bang bang egg, on english muffin. With cocktails and dessert. Chocolaterrem, bru leering l iselee. Wild orchid martini. Tropical escape for you there. Like to talk wine pairings, if you try to make this at home you want with the filet go with a cab . Absolutely. White with the seafood. If you have surf and turf, drink what you like. If you want something that is a little lighter, maybe pick a pinot noir, also stand up to the flavor of the lobster and old and sweetness of the pinot noir. You open tomorrow . 10 00 to 2 00 and all the way through until 9 00 p. M. Tomorrow night. Thanks for coming in this hope you have a great
