>>> 8:46. WE'RE COOKING UP A DELICIOUS
DINNER FOR DAD. IN CASE YOU FORGOT FATHER'S DAY
IS A LITTLE OVER A WEEK AWAY, BUT YOU DON'T NEED TO MAKE
RESERVATIONS TO CELEBRATE. "TODAY" CONTRIBUTOR SIRI DALY
HAS A MENU THAT WILL AT LEAST PLEASE CARSON DALY.
>> LET'S GO BINGO! >> THIS IS SURF N TURF.
>> THIS IS A HEALTHY VERSION OF SURF N TURF.
>> DO YOU HAVE AN UNHEALTHY VERSION?
>> WE DO THE INDULGENT KIND. ON FATHER'S DAY, THIS IS WHAT HE
PREFERS. TO NOT FEEL -- SO FULL.
>> WE DO A LOT OF MEAT AND HEAVY STUFF.
SO THIS IS A NICE BREAK WITH A HEALTHY MEAL AS YOU'LL SEE.
>> THIS IS A SUPER SIMPLE BAKED
HALIBUT DISH WE DO ALL THE TIME. HALIBUT IS A SWEET, FLAKY FISH,
WE HAVE LEMON, OIL, SALT AND PEPPER AND CHIVES.
THIS IS OLIVE OIL AND LEMON JUICE.
POUR IT, DRIZZLE IT OVER AND PUT IT IN A BAKING DISH.
SEASON IT WITH SALT AND PEPPER. BAKE IT FOR ABOUT 12 TO 15
MINUTES AT A 400-DEGREE OVEN. THE BEST WAY TO TEST TO SEE IF
THEY ARE DONE IS TAKE A FORK AND JUST, IF IT FLAKES EASILY, LIKE
THAT, THEN YOU KNOW THAT YOUR FISH IS COOKED.
>> SURF HANDLE. DONE.
>> I LIKE TO DRIZZLE IT WITH A LITTLE OLIVE OIL AT THE END AND
SPRINKLE IT WITH CHIVES. >> OKAY, PERFECT.
THAT'S THE SURF. TAKE ME THROUGH THE TURF.
BECAUSE THIS IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.
>> THIS IS A VERY DIFFERENT TAKE ON OUR TURF.
BUT WE'RE GOING TO MAKE SOME ASIAN BEEF LETTUCE CUPS.
AND CARSON LOVES TO WRAP THINGS IN LETTUCE, DON'T YOU?
>> I DO. YES, I DO, BINGO.
DON'T GIVE AWAY ALL OUR SECRETS.
>> I DON'T KNOW WHAT HE'S SAYING OVER THERE.
THIS IS GINGER. >> I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU DEAL
WITH HIM, I REALLY DON'T. >> SERIOUSLY?
THIS IS GINGER AND GARLIC SAUTEING.
AND WE ARE GOING TO ADD GREEN ONIONS AND RED PEPPER AND WATER
CHESTNUTS. FOR THE CRUNCH.
>> HOW LONG DOES THIS COOK DOWN? >> THIS COOKS FOR ABOUT FIVE
MINUTES. YOU DON'T WANT TO OVERCOOK IT.
YOU DO WANT TO KEEP THE TEXTURE. THEN YOU WILL REMOVE IT FROM THE
PAN, WHICH WE DID OVER HERE. AND IN THIS SAME PAN, TAKE THE
GROUND BEEF, ADD THAT. THIS IS COOKING UP NICELY TO
THIS. AND THEN I'M GOING TO ADD SOME
HOISON, A SWEET SAUCE. IT WILL THICKEN IT.
>> CAN WE USE SOMETHING ELSE? >> WE DO BROWN CHICKEN.
>> I WAS THINKING DUCK. GROUND DUCK.
>> TURKEY, NICE. AND THAT WILL COOK UP.
WE'LL ADD THE VEGETABLES BACK IN.
>> CARSON, YOU DON'T GET TO ANSWER THIS, BUT LADIES, HOW IS
THIS? >> THIS IS DELICIOUS.
>> I DON'T KNOW WHICH OF THESE THREE THINGS I LIKE BEST.
>> SIRI, IT'S DELICIOUS. >> THANK YOU.
>> TELL THEM ABOUT THE VEGGIE, BINGO.
>> THAT COOKS FOR ANOTHER FIVE, TEN MINUTES.
WE'LL SCOOP THIS INTO HERE. AND I LIKE TO TOP MINE WITH SOME
CRUSHED NUTS, SOME GREEN ONIONS AGAIN AND SIRACHA BECAUSE I LIKE
SPICY THINGS. >> BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE.
>> BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE. NOT ONLY SURF N TURF, THESE ARE
SUMMER QUASH BOATS. THIS IS SOMETHING WE MAKE A LOT,
RIGHT, BINGO? AND BY WE, I MEAN ME.
>> TRUE. IT'S TRUE.
>> HE REQUESTS IT A LOT. >> I LOVE IT.
IT TASTES SO GOOD. >> YOU CUT IT IN HALF AND TAKE A
SPOON. AND YOU CAN KIND OF JUST -- I'LL
TRY NOT TO SPRAY YOU WITH THE SEEDS HERE.
YOU SCOOP OUT THE FLESH. AND YOU'RE GOING TO SAVE IT
BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO USE THIS. IT'S A VEGETARIAN DISH.
YOU'RE GOING TO USE THE ACTUAL SQUASH AND STUFF THE SQUASH WITH
THE SQUASH. BUT WE'RE GOING TO ADD SOME
PARMESAN, BUTTER, GARLIC, AND YOU CAN ADD WHATEVER YOU WANT TO
THIS, WHICH IS WHY IT'S SO YUMMY.
PUT MEAT IF YOU WANT MEAT. ADD MORE VEGETABLES IF YOU WANT
VEGETABLES. YOU CAN ADD ZUCCHINI.
>> I LOVE THINGS WRAPPED IN LETTUCE, I REALLY DO.
>> IT'S A GREAT CARB SUBSTITUTE. >> WE BAKE THE SKINS A BIT FIRST
AND STUFF IT WITH THE MIXTURE HERE.
AND YOU BAKE IT AGAIN FOR ANOTHER TEN MINUTES OR SO.
ADD SOME SALT AND PEPPER, MORE PARMESAN ON TOP AND IT'S GOOD
FOR A SIDE. >> THIS IS AMAZING.
>> OBVIOUSLY, THERE'S A LOT OF GOOD FOOD AT YOUR HOUSE.
HOW DOES CARSON LIKE TO CELEBRATE FATHER'S DAY?
WHAT DOES HE ASK FOR? TIME ALONE?
TIME WITH THE FAMILY? WHAT?
>> HE'S NOT THE TYPE TO GO OFF AND GOLF ON FATHER'S DAY.
HE WANTS TO BE WITH HIS KIDS. I DON'T KNOW, WHAT DO YOU THINK?
MAYBE THE KIDS CAN ANSWER THAT FOR HIM.
>> NO. YOU DIDN'T.
LOOK AT THIS. YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE AT SCHOOL.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING? OH, MY GOSH.
SO MUCH FOR MY STRICT NO KIDS ON TV POLICY.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? DID YOU MAKE THAT FOR ME?
FATHER'S DAY IS LIKE A MONTH AWAY.
WHAT IS GOING ON HERE? >> WE DON'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING
ELSE. >> YOU TOOK THE KIDS TO THE
CITY. HEY, GUYS, YOU SHOULD BE IN
SCHOOL. DO YOU HAVE A SHIRT FOR ME?
HELLO, LOLA. THIS IS NIS NICE.
WOW. WHAT A SURPRISE.
