The unbelievable ending being called one of the best ever. Today, monday, march 21st, 2016. Announcer from nbc news, this is today with matt lauer and savannah guthrie, live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Welcome to today on a monday morning, lets say youre not a College Basketball fan. You dont really care about the game. March madness is special. Its so exciting. It always lives up to its reputation. Its exciting to watch all the teams i pick lose. Its a joy. You dont care about your own bracket because its so exciting to watch the games. Well give you a recap in a couple minutes. Our top story this morning is this spring snowstorm here in the northeast. After what amounted to a really mild winter. Well get als forecast in a moment. First, Miguel Almaguer is in massachusetts. Good morning to you. Good morning. This is an interesting way to kick offspring. Weve had steady snow in cape cod the last few hours and i want to take you to a picture from our drone flying overhead. It is a bit of a winter wonderland. Ill give you a shot of the coastline because thats where the storm is headed, mostly off coast, are re j region. Its been a sloppy commute for many people traveling along the northeast. While were not seeing a dramatic amount of snow, were seeing somewhere from 6 inches to a foot of snow across this region. Itll be steady for the next couple hours. Diminishing by this afternoon. Its enough snow that in boston, they were asking to shut down schools this morning. They did do that across the region. The snow will be light for the next couple hours and diminishing by later this afternoon. Back to our drone, you can see it is loef vely. We expect it to be picture perfect the next several hours as the morning commute begins to dissipate. Out here, were expecting to have the sun pop up later on this afternoon. When it comes out later on, we should have fairly dry roads. Its going to be a beautiful day. Matt, just for comparison here, last year at this time here in the boston region, we had more than 100 this year right now, about 25. About 1 4 of the snowfall. A mild winter but we are having a late one here. Back to you. Not too much to complain about. Thank you very much. My kids are happy with the twohour delay on long island. Also, we have dandelions in matts garden daffodils. Were concerned about them. They came up too early. This ended in new york city and is making its way through western massachusetts and down east maine. Well see this continue during the afternoon. It ends in long island by midmorning. Boston, snow till noon. Could be sloppy travel. For the most part, thatll be the worst of it. The heavy snow will be the eastern end of maine. 6 to 8 inches as you get closer to east port. The forecast models, europe thursday, the american model, almost nothing in new york city. 4 inches to new england. Look at the european model. Were giving this to the american model, ladies and gentlemen. Usa usa so far, both models have instituted new and improved computers, new and improved software. This one, the american won. There you go. Thanks for keeping us up to date on that, al. Lets talk about the president now and his historic trip to cuba. The first family arrived last night and took a walking tour through the rain in old havana. On the president s agenda, a meeting with raul castro. Nightly news anchor lester holt is in havana. Good morning. Good morning. History being made. The president waking up here on cuban soil. He is the First American president to visit here since Calvin Coolidge dropped in in 1928. Fidel castro wasnt even 2 then. The entire first family along for the trip, acting like sts. Doing what most tourists do, taking a walk through old havana. Reporter sparse crowds line the streets under a steady downpour as the president s motorcade made its way through the city. His first stop, the cathedral in old havana. Mr. Obama took an impromptu detour to shake hands and smiling and waving at a crowd. Inside, the president met with the controversial cardinal, ortega, who some criticized for not being more forceful about human rights. Then on to a museum, where a portrait of president lincoln greeted the first family. Finally, dinner at a restaurant in the narrow streets of old havana. The sight sseeing is a precludeo the real business of the trip which begins later this morning when the president meets with cuban president raul theyll likely discuss lifting the u. S. Trade em barbargo and cubas human rights record. Before the president arrived, the ladies in white were arrested, chanting, freedom. One of the highlights of the president s trip is expected to be when he addresses cubans on tuesday. Its a historic opportunity to engage the cuban people and lay out our future thats bri t brighter than our past. Reporter i asked about that when i sat down with cubas top man. Did you think the day would come, when the u. S. President would address the people . Im confident this is the day it is right time. Reporter back in the states, the president s trip is already under fire from republican front runner donald trump, who mock td fact that the president was met by cubans foreign minister, not president raul pope and others. No respect. White house says no big deal that raul castro wasnt at the airport. They never anticipated or expected it. It was planned that the official greeting would take place today. There will be a big state dinner later on here in havana. Matt, as i send it back to you, ill point out that i bought this blazer first. Thats okay. I feel like im in good company, lester. Let me remind people that youre going to have much more on the president s trip to havana and cuba on nbc nightly news tonight. All eyes will be on donald trump today. Hes heading to the capitol for high profile events. Some are Republican Leaders after more violence happened at trumps rallies this weekend. Peter alexander has the latest. Good morning. The latest attack, ugliest yet. A u. S. Airman charged with misdemeanor assault that took place at trumps rally. For the billionaire, this is groundhog day. More protests, more critics, yet more likely than not, during the next round of voting tomorrow, he expands its delegate lead. Donald reporter donald enjoying his success with a serenade. And one of the most violent situations yet. Klu klux klan hat on. Reporter a man sucker punched and repeatedly pounded and kicked. This Political Movement has gotten to the point where you may get beat to death inside of a rally. Reporter trump conceding the beating was tough to watch but saved his harshest words for professional all the time . What about the people using horrible profanity, horrible words, and closing up highways, why are they never the bad people . Its an incredible thing. Reporter Trumps Campaign manager grabbed a protesters collar, another man pulling the young man back. I give him credit for having spirit. He wanted them to take down the horrible, profanitylaced signs. Reporter tomorrow, trumps favorite in arizona and ted cruz in utah. The senator winning romneys vote. Trump questioning romneys faith. Are you sure hes a mormon . Reporter trump is mocked on this weeks the new yorker. Still, the billionaire is looking for the last laugh. In washington today, reportedly keeping with key republican lawmakers. And tonight, capping off a day of speeches before a pro israel group, where jewish republicans are weary of his neutrality on the conflict. Trump expected t this afternoon. For his meeting in washington, whats striking is almost no republicans will acknowledge whether theyre going to this. House leaders want nothing to do with it and others arent saying a thing either way. Antitrump conservative groups are promising a backlash for any lawmaker spots going in. Peter alexander, thank you. Mark halperin is the managing editor of bloomberg politics. Good to see you. Good morning. The apex speech is a room filled with people who dont want generalities. They want specifics. They want you to prove you understand the complexities of middle east policy. Whats at stake for donald trump. This is a big week for him and this speech symbolizes it. He has to prove to the people in the room, but also to people who want a serious president to deal with a serious world, that he can be a serious man. Hes never given a speech like this in his tonight is the night he can show people he understands the difficulties and the complexities of being president. Forgive me if im skeptical. The average trump supporter, do they care if he does well before this group of influential lobbyists in washington . The average trump supporter doesnt, but the average american wants someone who can handle this. He wants the opportunity to say, im a serious person. The trump spekeptics say hell fail. Those who are optimistic about his chance to be president says tonight is a night he can prove hes a serious person. On the campaign trail, another incident of violence at a trump rally over the weekend. It seemed in being interviewed about it, donald trump seems to blame the protesters and not his supporters, or even himself, for setting a tone. Is that going to continue to work . He has to take more comma he hasnt done it. But he has the First Amendment right to hold events. He has events disrupted. He has to deal with it and cant blame the protesters, but he has his point, that the protesters has a responsibility to let him and his supporters meet. But hes the candidate. Lets talk about the stop Trump Movement. Its fascinating to me because on one hand, its done something the republicans havent been able to do, which is unite conservatives and the establishment, all united against trump, but its not getting off the ground. They are far from achieving their goal. Run another candidate, bet on ted cruz or john kasich, try to take down trump, try to force a brokered convention. A thousand people against trump with thousand and one ideas how to stop him. If he keeps winning contests, the stop Trump Movement wont have anything to stop. Mark, always good to have you here. Thank you very much. Belgium are learning from the captured suspect in the paris terror attacks. The suspect reportedly telling investigators he was planning new operations.

Bridges that are used every day, yet theyre putting drivers at risk. Top officials are calling this terrible and embarrassing. Jeff ross seasen is here with mn that. Good morning. This is an important investigation. Right now, so many of you are about to get into the car and head to work, or drive your children to school. On the way, chances are, you will cross a bridge or an overpass. A new report just released says that tens of thousands of bridges across the country are literally falling apart. This morning, were getting rare access just under the roadway, and wait until you see what we found holding some cars up. Reporter across the country, bridges collapsing, concrete raining down on to passing cars. From pennsylvania boulder just fell and smashed the glass. Reporter to iowa. The bridge is crumbling away here. Reporter to utah. What happened . Reporter where huge chunks of a bridge smashed through this Airport Shuttle with passengers inside. Crushing the hood of the car. Another 6 or 8 inches, might not have been talking to me today. Reporter according to government data, 58,498 bridges are structurally deficient. From americas heartland to the nations capital. Im standing on the arlington Memorial Bridge in d. C. Were getting rare access down inside the bridge. This is so bad, critical condition, theyre making me the lead paint is chipping off. And i have to wear this hard hat because, believe it or not, concrete chunks fall off this bridge. You can see why were concerned about this bridge. Reporter even officials are sounding the alarm. Charles is in charge of this bridge for the National Park service. Look at this here. This is the roadway, and theres metal literally peeling off of it. Over here, look at this beam. This is holding up the roadway, too. We have all this concrete gone. Totally decayed away. Look at this. Paper thin. This is all thats left. This is whats holding up the roadway . This is where the cars are going. You can feel the cars right above us. This beam is holding the bridge up. Reporter but we see next is even more disturbing. This is the support for the entire bridge. Completely rusting away. Look at this, jeff, completely gone, the bracings. Over here, look at this, right here, completely gone. You can put your hand through that. All of this, just rusting from the inside out. Terrible. Its getting worse by the year. Reporter we went straight to the secretary of transportation, anthony fox. According to your government data, there are 58,495 bridges deemed structurally deficient. Is that acceptable to you . No, its not acceptable. Its actually embarrassing to this country. But its one of those things where its not just money, its also emphasis. Its where we put our money. Thats something we have to continue working on. Doesnt the buck stop here, as the secretary of transportation, for you to fix this now and figure out how to get the money spent more wisely . No one has argued more strenuously about fixing the issues than i have. Congress has to pass a package with enough resources to handle the problem. Reporter he says the system is broken. States get federal money and spend it as they wish, with little federal oversight. Bureaucracy, as bridges continue to crumble. Continues to decay and it wont get better untile the federal government is spending billions of dollars to fix these bridges, and that may sound like a lot it is but analysts say the problem is so bad, so widespread, at that pace, itll take 21 years to fix every bridge. Are the bridges in your neighborhood structurally deficient . I know thats your question. We have a list on our website, today. Com.

Once i left the hospital after a dvt blood clot. What about my wife. What were building together. And could this happen again . I was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me . I spoke to my doctor and she told me about eliquis. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots. Significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Knowing eliquis had both. Turned around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless you doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis treats dvt pe blood clots. Plus had less major bleeding. Both made switching to eliquis right for me. Ask your doctor if its right for you. Were back at 7 50. Time for the birds taking the world by storm, carson.

After taking a tour through old havana with Michelle Obama and their obamas visit officially opens today when he meets with cubas president castro. Castro is sure to raise complaints that despite the president s recent measures to loosen trade and travel restrictions, the relationship with cuba can never been fully repaired until Congress Lifts the economic embargo. The president will press hard for more freedom of speech here. Hours before the president landed in cuba, cubans cracked down on a group of women who protests silently every sunday after church. Theyre known as the ladies in white. There is goodwill on this visit. Cuba is allowing the president to speak directly to the people tomorrow. He will be speaking about human rights, which is usually something not done here. Thats a major step, raising hope. Something important could come from this historic visit.

Trump said it was hard to watch, but also suggests theres a double standard. Favoring what he called professional agitators. There is a brandnew battle of the sexes brewing in professional tennis. It all started with a controversial remark sunday before the finals of a prestigious tournament in california. Reporter even before the topranked female players took to the court, a backhanded comment aimed at the womens tennis association. In my next life, i want to be someone in the wta because they ride on the coat tails of the men. They dont make any decisions. Theyre lucky. They are very, very lucky. Reporter raymond moore, the former pro, now ceo of the california tournament that hosts both the mens and womens players. F go down every night on my knees and thank god that Roger Federer and rafa nadal were born because theyve carried the sport. They really have. Reporter fresh off the court, Serena Williams was quick to condemn moores comments. I think those remarks are very much mistaken and very, very, very inaccurate.

Maybe not when it comes to driving. Tom costello may be able to explain it for us. Good morning. Weve all heard about helicopter parenting and maybe its over the top and maybe not helpful. But experts are saying when it comes to your kid behind the wheel, a little bit too much nagging, a little overly cautious may be the best approach for saving his or her life. Reporter teens behind the wheel. Weve seen the frightening video. Countless teens driven to distraction. The stats are alarming. If youre going to die prematurely at any time in your life, the two worst years are between 16 and 17, and the reason is because of driving. Reporter when it comes to our own kids, studies say many parents may simply be too relaxed. Either they trust their own kids too much, or they car pooling their children. Yet, teen car pooling poses the greatest danger. According to aaa, if a 16 or 17yearold driver has a passenger under 21 in the car, theyre 44 more likely to be killed in a crash. Having two passengers under 21 doubles the risk. Quadruples with three or more young passengers. Teens think theyre invincible and not worried about the harm to themselves of getting in a car crash. Reporter its something 16yearold holly stoner has seen firsthand. I think most people, its trying to look cool for their friends. Theres no cops around. Ill go through this stop sign. Or let me do this because nothing will happen. Maybe itll impress them. Reporter most states, including california where stoner lives, set passenger limits for new drivers. But ultimately, its a parents responsibility to keep their kids safe. Let them know you care. The advantage of a contract with stipulate the rules and the consequences for violating the rules, it is not that the child will obey them but that the parent will monitor the child. Reporter that means conversations about phone use, distractions and, of course, drinking and driving. This is a privilege. As a privilege, it can be taken away. Cell phones in the glove compartment. And have that conversation, say the experts. Nag the kids about making sure they adhere to the rules of the road. Guys, i had an accident a week after i got my license. Then i had another one two weeks later. The guy behind the camera here said the same thing happened to him. The producer i worked with last night said the same thing happened to her. It seems to be a common rite of passage. Back to you guys. I bet we all have stories like that. They say, not only take the cell phone and lock it in the glove compartment but turn the notification dings off. When a teen is driving, if they hear the sound, theyre inclined to look at it. To say nothing of the radio . When we were kids, it was a push button and that was it. Now, there is a myriad of information right there for you. Tom, as always, thank you. Just ahead, the answers to a couple of burning questions. First, why do we close our eyes when we kiss . You dont. How would you know . You want to tune in for that. Ben afflecks giant back tattoo.

We lost a social phycology question. You ever wonder why people, when the ki they kiss, you close your eyes, its because youre so close. Or youll go lock eyed. You have to see who youre kissing. You should probably know before you do that. Enough about the carsons world. Psychologists at the university of london think they have the answer. Its simple. The researchers say its because our brains cant handle more than two things at once. As sophisticated as the human mind is, the study says it cant process both the sensation of kissing and the act of seeing. Thats only two things. Why couldnt you handle both . You can walk and chew gum at the same time. Im just quoting the research. So strange. Maybe those people kissing are doing something else, also. The scientists didnt actually study people kissing. Instead, they used other tests to confirm our brains have trouble what did they use . Thats a bogus study. Come on, it was the University College of london. How bogus could it be . If they didnt watch anybody you dont tune into trending for our science, is that what youre saying . Thats right. By the way, we were talking about this at the break, did you ever kiss someone and open your eyes and theyre looking and open . Exactly. Recently, weve seen parents lose their cool at their childrens sporting events. One Little League posted a sign on a field. This is written as if it comes from the kids. It says, reminder, im a kid. Its just a game. My coach is a volunteer. The officials are humans. By the way, making almost nothing. And no College Scholarships will be handed out today. In other words, relax. Of course, its not the only sign of its kind. In other leagues around the country, theyve posted similar warnings. Like, your kids arent playing for the yankees. Ive been at Little League games and you look at parents going crazy and think, you have got to stop this. But it still goes on. Absolutely. No question. Doesnt matter. Boys sports, girls sports, my nieces played soccer and you see it. Imagine as a parent, that sign stops you in your tracks. The kide have fun. Ill have a freak out at the sidelines here. Whats the secret of happiness . Many studies here are the studies again, al friendships make us happy. The more social interactions we have, the happier we are. New Research Confirms its true for pretty much everyone except one group. Care to guess . Intelligent people. What . Apparently, Scientists Say those with higher i. Q. S are less satisfied the more friends they have. The smarter you are, the more antisocial you are . One of the theories is smart people would rather focus on longterm objective, like curing cancer or something, i guess. I dont trust it when people say, how many good friends do you have, and they say 25. I think you have two or three. I agree. People youd really call in a time of trouble. Not facebook friends. Like friend friends. Theyre probably milestones in your life. Someone you met in elementary school. Maybe later in college. Maybe your parenting. Didnt milestones. If you had a problem, youre embarrassed about, how many people are there youd actually call . Two. I have two. Absolutely, two. One, im related to. My mom and maybe one other.

The importance of being kind to people, being there for people, has been amazing to watch. I love that. It was so fun talking with this motherdaughter duo. Its interesting to see how mothering changes. Eva grew up on movie sets, so she stepped away from acting to for her daughter. Theyre both terrific talents and it was fun to be with them. They seem tight. Like sisters almost. They do. I think she was a single mother, a young mother. She was a little older of a mother, and then eva was the younger mother.

Nouncer from nbc news, this is todays take with al roker, natalie morales, willie geist and tamron hall, live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Welcome to today on a monday morning, march 21st, 2016. Im al along with tamron and dylan. Natalie and willie are off. My morning jam, try everything by try everything. Its from zootopia. Was it good . Talks about racial stereotyping. It was as much for parents as kids. Perfect combo in animation. Watch it on two levels. It is so good. Given that they had to have this in the pipeline at least three years ago, i will say, one of the villains happens to be a politician using fear to separate people. Thats the premise of it. You do a great al did an impersonation of idris elba, who is one of the characters. He plays the police chief, a water buffalo. At one point, he says to jenny hops, the first bunny Police Officer in zootopia, not like a cartoon. We all go dancing and singing and all of our songs and everything ends up nice in the end. Its not like that. Did you see thedr you had to take yourself back because of all that handsomeness seeping through there. I havent seen it yet, so ill assume it was spot on. I doubt it. But it was great. What else is happening . Twitters 10th anniversary. This is the actual day. Hoda and kathie lee are going to be live tweeting during the take. Theyre doing it now. The first tweet is so nice from hoda. Is someone talking . The question is, has someone been drinking . Kathie lee, what is going on over there . This is really great. Theyre going to shut us down. Lets see what this is. Cant hear them and theyre ten feet away. Ive heard of blind drunk, but deaf drunk . Theyre tweeting on their own. There are no assistants doing this. No filters. Jack dorsey sent the first tweet in 2006, my twitter. Most retweeted was Ellen Degeneress oscar selfie. Did he leave the i out or he was afraid of getting to the 140 characters there. The most followed celebrity on twitter is katy perry, over 84 million followers. 84 million. What else do we have . Have are the ladies saying now . 140 character limit, churning them out.

Spectacular. Its worth it. Out of five. Its a six. By the way, all the ben affleck haters out there are going to be shut down. Because you say, without giving anything away he is a terrific batman but also an excellent bruce wayne. People forget about that part of the character. Quickly catch us up on the storyline, without spoiling anything. It starts 18 months ago, at the end of batman the superman movie, when metropolis is destroyed zogg and superman. Batman lost friends and vowed to take superman down. He feels this alien has all this power. Diane lane, years later, i watched goes on to play martha kent.

Show me what youve got. Um, okay. I mean, come on. Okay, okay. Thats my move. Good morning, greg. How are you . Tell us about jack a little bit. Jack, yeah, hes in a rut. Hes in a marriage that is to loving marriage but going through a little bit of a lull. He decides to hire an escort. This goes of unlocks a secret door to his wifes past that she has a lesbian past he didnt know about. She also gets involved with the escort. Then it turns into an actual threeperson relationship. Wow. This is literally a family show. Yeah. The trend is getting a lot of attention. Did you know that . I did not. I didnt know going in. Now that im in a show like that, everybody is coming up to me thats in one. They tell you . All the time. It is a thing. What do they say they like about it . I think thats obvious. It cant just be that. I think its an interesting dynamic. The show is really a romantic comedy that involves three people. I think it starts from the premise of, if you do have three consenting adults who want to be in a relationship, why cant that happen, really. Thats really what the show is about. Can it work . There i always a little odd. Literally, odd. Literally. Pretty obvious. Theres one person left out at all times. So in this show, theres a lot of intimate scenes. Were you did you know that going in . Yeah, i had to sign a nudity contract. What were you thinking when you signed . I wasnt thinking much. I just put my name on it. Apparently, the women on the show itemized and said what they werent going to do. You just said yes . I didnt know that was an option. I could be naked in every scene. Its a lot of male nudity. No, actually, theres no nudity at all. But i did have to sign a nudity writer. I knew there was the possibility. Does that make you go to the gym and get ready . In my case, no. I think other people might have done that, yes. I was going for the so youre the lead of the show. You can say that. Dad bod is in now, im hearing. Thats what hes banking on. Only thing worse than shooting nude scenes is shooting them and having them get cut. Yeah. You see the final result and people are like, you know what . Nobody needs to see that. We cant even cgi this. Nothing nothing about this works. The audience doesnt need to see this, yeah. I just saw your face on a billboard in times square. Youre kind of all over the place now. Are you used to this . You like this . Its easy to get used to a giant version of your face in times square. As long as thats all it is. Oh, boy. Anyway, good luck with the show. You, me and her premieres tomorrow. Feel like we know the show well. Tomorrow on at ts audience network, available on directv and uverse. Ahead, planning an easter brunch . Thats a show.

Once i left the hospital after a dvt blood clot. What about my wife. What were building together. And could this happen again . I was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me . I spoke to my doctor and she told me about eliquis. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots. But eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Knowing eliquis had both. Turned around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless you doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis treats dvt pe blood clots. Plus had less major bleeding. Both made switching to eliquis right for me. Ask your doctor if its right for you.

Ill put kimchi in the bag. Little lemon juice and lemon vest. Add that there. A little bit of salt and pepper. Put some olive oil, pepper in there. Do your thing. Okay. Let it marinade. How long . I would do it about an hour. The kimchi is the start there. We can start to grill that slowly. Its about a minute on each side. You want to start to get it pink. Minute, minute and a half, maximum. Do you grill the kimchi, too . I would. Cool. Put it on there, absolutely. Well make a vinegar aigrette h. This is the dressing, yogurt, juice. Cyan pepper. Again, this is something you can make the night before and let it sit. Probably better that way. It would be, actually. You can change it up. There are so many different spices that you can use for this. This is not the kimchi itself is not spicy and the cyan is definitely not spicy. It wont do too much to you. Then we have a lemon vinaigrette here. Because we have the lemon leftover, its simple. Lemon juice and olive oil. Mix it around like that. Minute on each side for the shrimp. You want to get a good grill on it. One of the things were doing in pebble beach with mentor, the organization, doing two major dinners out there to help celebrate the foundation, which will be a lot of fun, too. Plate this up . Bib lettuce, little bit of the yogurt, put it as the base. Nice. Some of the grilled shrimp. Shrimp is delicious. Probably roll it all up into one big lettuce taco.
