>> so have your boarding pass and i.d. ready definitely. it's great to dress for security properly, have shoes to slip on and off. avoid wearing belts or heavy jackets or a lot of layers that you might have to remove. when you get if line for security, take that laptop out before you get to that line. like i said, be sure to leave enough time so you're not rushing. when we rush we get nervous, we get frustrated and that's what brings a lot of problems on when we're in those lines. >> we often think of christmas or hahn akah as the give-giving holidays. but you are reminding us not to wrap presents though? >> don't wrap your presents. if you can ship any presents before you travel it's a great way to save luggage space and that will save you time in the long run when you can avoid checking your bags when you get to the airport. if you can carry on, that will save you some time at the pick- up. >> and you say be ready to be screened. and we talked about that with the type of shoes you wear and also the belts, the amount of jewelry you have on. you said be ready to be screened? >> be ready to be screened and be ready to cooperate. i think patience is the key here. patience and respect. if that's what we want from the tsa, i think that's what we have to give them and i know they're willing to give travelers patience and resect so we should be willing to give them the same. >> you say be ready it be screened. that's a part of traveling today as well. which is so interesting with what they're trying to do online for those that feel like security has gone too far. in the meantime if you go through the lines, by -- be ready to be screened. and you say pack food items. >> pack food items in your luggage. remember the 311 rule, that's the base here. remember to put things in ziploc bags. airport officials are willing to help you out with the ziploc bags. they have them here at the entrance to the security line. anything you can pack is better to keep packed and it will save you time in the long run. >> and travelocity is a great site and i go through to figure out the hotels and the cheapest flights and that kind of thing, but where should we go to check online to see about flights being on time and that kind of thing? >> you can check on the windows sheet blogs.com and check on travel ocity or the windows blog. >> lindsey, we appreciate you being. there it's a nice back drop as we talk about getting out of town. lucy is with travelocity. happy holidays to you. >> thank you and happy holidays as well. >> tony. now to the roads. if you are driving, be prepared to spend more money to fill your tank. gas prices are the highest they've been in more than six months. average prices now $2.89 a gallon and that's 21 cents higher than it was in august. the good news is prices are expected to go down by the end of the year. meanwhile v-dot homes to make -- hopes to make thanksgiving travel easier. lane closures will be lifted across virginia to cutdown on backups. and look for 24 hour traffic info on v-dot's website to help avoid traffic congestion. metro is putting a plan into place to help people traveling to and from our three airports this thanksgiving holiday. travelers can take metro rail to reagan national. the transit agency will have extra buses on stand by for those going to dulles or bwi marshall. metro rail will operate on a sunday schedule on thanksgiving day and a regular week day schedule on friday. the agency said it will be ready to add extra trains on sunday if that's necessary. well before you head out this holiday, get a check of the traffic and the airport delays by heading to our website, myfoxdc.com. click on the traffic tab once you're there. it was a purely circumstantial case. there was no eyewitness and no dna evidence but just before noon yesterday a verdict was reached in the chandra levy murder trial. roby chavez reports. >> reporter: it was a dramatic and anxiety-filled moment as the foreperson stood up and delivered the guilty verdict on two counts of murder. soon after ingmar guandique threw his headset down and stormed out of the courtroom. prosecutors and police praised the decision even if it took a while. >> it's been nearly ten years since the promise of a young life was lost in rock creek park. and while today's verdict does not restore that, today's verdict does send a message that it's never too late for a murderer to be held accountable for his crimes and never too late for justice to be served. >> it takes relentless commitment, and compassion and caring like i just discussed, that you never give up, regardless of criticism and mistakes, regardless of whatever, if you're going to bring just tis a family, you don't ever give up and that's what they did in this case. >> reporter: as the verdict was read, jurors were shaken and some wiped away tears. levy's another stared at guandique and later she called the verdict a miracle. >> there is always going to be a feeling of sadness. i'm not sure it's a sense of peace but i could tell you that it ain't closure. >> reporter: the verdict came after an 11 day trial and 3 and a half days of deliberation. chandra levy disappeared in may of 2001. her remains were found a year laettner rock creek park. there was evident that she was violently attacked, perhaps tied up. ingmar guandique was already serving time for attacking to other women in the park when detectives decided to take another close look at him. after court, prosecutors spoke directly to the courage of the levy family. >> our hearts go out to the levy family which has shown remarkable strength and courage throughout this ordeal. and while today's verdict will never give them back their daughter, we are hopeful that it gives them some level of comfort and aids them in moving forward. >> that was roby chavez reporting. defense lawyers did not talk after the verdict but have maintained all along that ground was a scape goat. his sentencing is scheduled for february 11th. meanwhile some jury members spoke publicly. while they would not discuss their deliberations, they said they carefully weighed the evidence before coming to a unanimous conclusion. >> we did the best we could with the evidence we were given to come to the conclusion of this case. >> i'm confident it was the decision that we made but it doesn't mean that i -- i don't wish that we didn't have to be here today. >> prosecutors won a conviction even though they lacked the dna evident. jurors say they did not effect their decision. they say there was still plenty of evident -- evident for conviction. we have everything you need to know on myfoxdc.com. still ahead this morning, fire breaks out at a popular spot on the national mall. sarah?

well our next guests have a product you'll be thankful for. the famous sweet potato pie from henry's famous soul cafe is available in a take-home kid. whether you say you made it yourself is up to you. henry joins us. good morning. my first question is are you crazy? you're making this easy for us to do ourselves at home? you know people will say i made this. this is my recipe. >> well actually you're helping us. because the reason this pie kit was created because we could not keep up with the demand of baking them ourselves. because this is the busiest time of the year. this and including christmas. and we basically have to bake in the neighborhood of 20- 30,000 pies within a week's time. so because we don't have that type of time and oven space, we created a take-home kit to take away the 50 minutes to hour it takes to bake this particular pie in the ovens at our restaurant and you can take it home and make it yourself. but you're going to tell them you did it any way. >> bernard, tell me what we have here and what the ingredients are. because this looks really simple to do. >> well the main ingredient is love. >> and sweet potatoes. >> we have the pie shell here that you fill and then we have our famous recipe here. >> so this is already mixed and made. >> already mixed and made. easy as one two three. pour the mix into the shell -- >> and it's premeasured, it's the right amount. >> we actually give you a little more because we know some people will waste a little bit. so you'll get a little more. >> no one is going to waste it. they'll eat some of it preparing it. >> and that's it. >> that's the whole thing. and that was step one. step two. third step is in the oven. >> and how long do you bake it? >> about 45 minutes for a lighter pie and about an hour for a little bit darker. some like them darker so it takes about an hour and they come out just as if baked in our home restaurant. and people love them. we did it to really help ourselves out. but i think it's a great thing to be able to have something on your table that you actually took a part in in doing yourself. so you're welcome to come into the restaurant and purchase the pie already bakes. but you're also welcome to come in and buy the kit. >> and as i'm sure you know, this will help you because you don't have to make as many as pies but you'll still have a tons of people coming into the restaurant. >> we're shipping them now all across the country. we're in a deal right now with a major chain to have these kits in grocery stores across the country. >> very good. >> i think it will be a great thing for years to come. we've been doing this for 42 years, 17th and u. street location, 4th and k. street location and oxon hill and another location coming next year. >> next year in 2011. >> the website is henry's sweet potato pie.com. >> and right now not in the major supermarkets but go to the website. and henryssweetpotatopie.com. and what else are you doing for thanksgiving?

>> it is actually about 20% cheaper than buying the whole pie itself already baked. we give that little discount to kind of encourage you to take this so we can take some of the pain and pressure off of our hands but the pies are $9.95. >> that's fantastic and that's great. let's try it. and there is something else i wanted to ask. you put it in, you bake it -- oh, the key -- one of the keys is that you have to -- you can't pull it out of the oven and dive in. you have to let it sit. >> let it sit an hour before you decide to cut it because you don't want it falling apart. >> there you go. myfoxdc.com will link you to their website, henry's sweet potato pie and you can get your own pie and pretend you made it yourself and it's your recipe. thank you very much for coming. i appreciate it as always. and i'm going back to allison whose mouth is probably watering. >> save me a piece. i'll be right over. some people are preparing for black friday for a week. what they are taking home with them after their big shopping weekend. plus the big named guest stars keep coming to glee. a tv legend, his show -- it's the show tonight. we'll hear from carol burnett coming up next. and then here another look at the trivia question. why was the barnham cookies designed with the string handle?

>> we moved to this kitchen so we could get our fried turkey. over at zola wine and kitchen, our fr a turkey of this size. >> reporter: and here is the key. when we're talking about fried turkey, you either need to have a professional fryer or you never use it inside. use the contraptions outside because it can be dangerous, right?
