You have to scrape it all away. Throw out the scraper. Dont do that. But theres some things if you tonight have a scraper on you, you can get rid of the ice. Household items. A the night before the storm, or in many places, the snow has not started. Come out to your car and rub an onion along the window like this. Or a potato, the same thing.

There wont be ice or frost on there. Heres Something Else you can do. You take a sock you know what it is when your windshield is streaky. Take a sock the night before and put it on to your windshield wiper like this. I promise i will get it. Did it ten times in rehearsal. You stick the sock all the way on. All the way on like that. Oh, my lord. Like that. Keep it up like this. And ice will not form there. And it will be protect you li now, one other thing you want to do. If you forget to do all of that. You come out and have all of this. You get a spray bottle at home. Two parts vinegar, one part water. Just spray it all over your windshield like this. Literally. If you dont have a scraper, spray it all over your windshield like this. And look how easily the ice will come off. Im going to take this glove off. A credit card, a simple credit card, i got rid of my number you cant see it. The ice will come off because of the vinegar will come off. Thats pretty cool. Lets come around over here. Something else to do the night before a storm. How annoying it is it when the ice is on the side windows. Get a plastic baggy. Do that. You can do that when you go to work. And this will prevent ice from building up there. Hand sanitizer. If your lock gets frozen or the door handle gets frozen. The r you spray a little on, it will melt it right up. And thats the end of it. Do we have one more time for one more bonus tip. This is about clearing your driveway. Take nonstuck cooking spray on your shovel.

Some of the gifts include a 2 00 a. M. Bachelor party feast. A wedding afterparty package. And posthoneymoon dinner. Couples together over their shafed love of pizza. You want a pizza .

S will already enough to worry about when youre going on a first date. They tell me this. Dont beg. A new app. Match. Com i dont know about that, either. Thats where you find a date. They had a survey that has if you have an older model phone, youre 56 less likely to get a date. Upgrade your phone right now or be alone. This was sponsored by samsung and if your screen is cracked, 86 people will judge you. Do you judge people by their phone . Oh, you have that old phone . No. I did meet somebody in the hotel that opened up a flip phone. And i did, like, judge. I would be impressed. Maybe that person is a little more oldschool. More romantic. Is that what you think . I should have figured that out. Was the guy carrying an abacus . What . Was he carrying an abacus. If you got an invitation to go on a date sent from my iphone 7 you would be more inclined to go no. Isnt that what you just said in. I wouldnt care. Thats what the survey says. Youre asking me. For you, its more like sent from my private jet. Oh, matt. Really . This is what youre dealing with. Hey, pot, meet kettle. Hes so happy with himself. When youre texting me if it turns out, if you are devoid of punctuation, that sends one message. If you put a period, a simple period after a sentence on a text message thats aggressive. You think its aggressive . Okay. Bye. Bye, period. A person writes, im going to be late for dinner. If person b responds with okay, nothing after it. Thats neutral. But if they add a period, its seen as a more stern and serious response. I agree with that. Do you really . You took the time to add the extra dot. Pardon me for being correct. I always put punctuation. We handle that different. I like punctuation. Some people write kk, two ks. If youre 17, thats cute. The same applies if adding a conversation. If you dont add a period, it leaves the conversation open. Adding a period makes it seem final and ends the period. I dont like that. I dont like that a conversation has ended. I like to continue. Its a woman thing. Flying is easily one of the most stressful parts of flying. But imagine being one of the flight attendants dealing with everybody onboard, like this group here. We talked to flight attendants to see what bugs them. They say, asking what to you have .

Thats important. Turn the light off. They wear their headphones. That ticks off the flight attendants. And theyre going to be the first one screaming what do i do when something goes wrong. That happened to me. I was in the plane and the oxygen mask came down. And it didnt inflate. Thats the point of the story. They tell you, it i i got it. I put a period on the end of that. Four days into the week, all going downhill. Wheels are coming off. You want me to keep going . Yes. The grossest one of all for the flight attendants, is when you go into the bathroom with bare feet. Oh. I dont like when people sit next to me with flipflops on and they need a pedicure. Thats so gross. Or when they put the feet up on the wall. Or on the seat behind. Dont do that. Dont do that. Sheinelle, pop start. Vogue is celebrating a milestone.

First, this is today on nbc. Z29kuz zstz y29kuy ysty welcome back, everyone. If you had to pick out the dirtiest items in your home, would you be able to do that . Some of the things covered in the most bacteria may surprise you. Here with more on that, dr. Mehmet oz, host of the dr. Oz show. Good bacteria and bad back tier. We outsource bacteria. We want the good guys. But some of our dietary habits, we get some of the bad guys. A home to escape bacteria. That its out on the street. Were going to talk about common things in your home and freak people out. Disspell the myths. Were going to ask you a question, which has more bacteria on it, a pet bowl or a cutting board. Part of the problem with pet bowls is no one washes them. Even if you love your pets you wont be able to Pay Attention to it. Wash your pet bowl once a day with the rest of the dishes in your home. Dont forget about the reality, you may think, your cutting board, you clean. You never clean the pet bowl. Your dish sponge, the one you use at the kitchen sink. Or the bottom of a womans purse. Which is germier. This is all about moisture. The bottom of a womans purse has stuff down there. But it has nothing more of the moisture harvesting ability of a sponge. The sponge is the dirtiest thing in your home. Pretty clear on this one. All right. The handle of your toilet or the reservoir in your automatic coffeemaker .

My friends rave about your place. Congratulations on that. Youre making one of my favorite things for breakfast, french toast. You have a twist. We stuff it with o here it is. We start with our brioche and our jam. And the first thing to do is to take about oneinch slices of bread. Nice and thick. You have to get that jam in there. Use a small knife. And we cut into the jam, about a halfinch down. And we do the same thing on the other side, creating like a pocket. How do you get the jam down in there . Just stuff it. You dont have to be need . It can be as messy as you want it to be. And you do it on the other side. These are prestuffed. We need to put it into custard. Eggs, cream, sugar and salt. Got that in. Put that in. You whisk that up . You whisk it up until its light and pale yellow and looks combined. It looks fluffy. Youre going to dredge the french toast in that . We dredge these in here. And count, 1 mississippi. Both sides . Both sides. Theyre already drenched. Were going to put it into a hot skillet. Is that butter . Thats butter. Just a tiny bit. Were going to let it get a nice, golden sere. Sometimes you make french toast, thick french toast. And its gooey on the inside. And you cook this two different ways. You get a nice sere on each side. This one has been going for maybe a minute or so. Were going to flip it. It has a sere. You think about a roast beef, youre getting the nice sere on the meat. That holds a lot of the flavor. Youre going to take this pan. And put it in the oven. Nice, hot oven. How long . Five minutes. So it sets on the inside. It will have a nice custardy flavor. Through the magic of television, this is what it looks like when its when you plate that up, you put a little whipped cream on that, and more of the jam. Talk about the hash youre making. It is the seasonal hash. We take come flower and potatoes. Put them in the bowl with salt and spice. How is this going downstairs . The cauliflower thing is crazy. Love it. So good. We got the cauliflower and the potatoes roasted separately. If you dont mind combining it in this bowl for me, we make the periperi sauce. We pop it into the blender. We blend it up until it looks like this. That is your periperi sauce. Ill adjust it with salt and vinegar b brightness to brighten up the hash. Youve taken the hash. You put it on the plate. A couple of sunny side up eggs. Pop it on top. Periperi sauce. One more egg for good measure on this guy. And more salt and pepper. And youre done. How is the hash . Fantastic. This is a great meal.

And the other night, they were saying their prayers. And i got to my daughter. They say the same prayer. And thank you for mommy. And thank you for her voice. And thank you for it was just so sweet to thank all of the people in her and my son says, im sorry i got a yellow happy face instead of a green one today. I get to hear about their day.

Kitty fresh step with the power of febreze. And for a tropical freshness, try new hawaiian aloha. Okay. Its one of the most important appliances in your home, the washing machine. When it comes to water temperature, load size, different detergent, maybe were doing it all wrong. Here is amy brightfield. Editor of better homes and gardens. Heres the deal. What are most of us doing wrong . Machine like you would your car. Its a machine. You want to keep it clean. Keep it maintained. Treat it right to have a nice, long life so it treats you clothes right, too. Load size. So, size does matter when it comes to loads because if the load is too big, then it can cause the washing machine to go offbalance and make that banging sound. We all know. And it can damage it and damage your clothes. And too small causes it to go offbalance. Really . Especially if theres a few small pieces and one large piece. The just right size of load is this. If you want to help me. All right. So, when you load it when you load it, you want to make sure that it doesnt go past the front row it doesnt go past the front row thats enough. And you dont want it to go above here. And so, thats the perfect amount of load. It doesnt get banging and all that. What about the top loaders . The top loader, you dont want to load it above the agitato agitator. Ive been known to shove a load of towels do not shove. It will get stuck. And itill just jiggle. You know youve overloaded if the xloclothes sit there. Im nervous because you just put a bra in with all of the clothi clothing. Does all of this go together . Temperaturewise, 60 degrees is great. Most detergents start to activate. You dont want to wash too hot with a delicate like a bra. The brand name doesnt matter if you have a highefficiency washing machine. Thats marked high efficiency. I filter my purchases by smell. Thats fine. So far, ive never done a proper load of laundry. Go with the smell you love. And you dont want to use too much because too much can leave a film on your clothes. And a film in your washing machine that attracts dirt and grime. And can cause mildew to grow in the washing machine. You talk about taking care of the machine. You want to cloean it. One a hot cycle with two cups of vinegar. And make a mixture, a fourth of a cup of vinegar. And you get a toothbrush this is going to happen. You have to do this, because this rubber ring is germ central on this front loader. You want to use that toothbrush and get in here and clean out the inside and then, this, too. You want to clean out this, as well. Thats where all the mildew grows. And between washes, you want to leave the door open to air out. This is a good thing to teach the children how to do. Get the toothbrush. Coming up, we have fight song singer, rachel platten, telling us a new project shes. Just dont face. And i even got my own dance. The humpty dance is your chance to do the hump. Humpty dumpty the what . Turbotax agent hello mr. Dumpty, do you have a tax question . Humpty dumpty have you ever heard of the humpty dance . Turbotax agent Everybody Knows that. Humpty dumpty well, im about to sue these guys. Will i get to write off my legal fees . Turbotax agent certain legal fees are tax deductible. Come on, do the humpty hump. Do the humpty hump.
