Before I made Hall's pie, I needed to prepare the dough. Paige BennettThough the other recipes I tested called for premade pie dough or canned sweet potato, Hall's version of the pie didn't come with shortcuts. The recipe also called for making pie dough from scratch using sugar, salt, all-purpose flour, and unsalted butter. I dissolved the sugar and salt in hot water, let the mixture cool, and then combined it with cold, cubed butter and flour. Making the dough was a little time-consuming, but overall, it was one of the easiest homemade pie crusts I've made.

Country music superstar Garth Brooks has named the woman who, as Jane Roe, accused him of rape in a lawsuit last week. In an amended complaint filed in federal court in Mississippi on Tuesday, Brooks’ lawyers publicized the accuser’s name. And in another filing, they said that Brooks “is the victim of a shakedown” and that the woman “flouted” the authority of a judge in a related case. Out of spite and to punish, he publicly named a rape victim,” the woman’s attorneys said. She did not use her name, but she named Brooks.

CNN —Country music star Garth Brooks has been accused of sexual assault and battery in a lawsuit from a “Jane Roe” who says she worked as a hairstylist and makeup artist for the award-winning singer. The complaint, filed in a state court in California on Thursday and obtained by CNN, states the alleged incidents occurred in 2019. According to the suit, Brooks and Roe traveled to Los Angeles on Brooks’ private jet. “Usually there were others on Brooks’ private jet but this time, Ms. Roe and Brooks were the only two passengers,” the complaint states. The complaint states Brooks “repeated remarks” about “having a threesome” with his wife.

☆ I tried blueberry-pancake recipes from Trisha Yearwood, Ree Drummond, and Bobby Deen, and the best used whipped egg whites

Yearwood adds sour cream to achieve a fluffy textureTrisha Yearwood's pancake recipe used the most blueberries. Dean makes blueberry pancakes fluffy by folding in whipped egg whitesBobby Dean's secret ingredient is whipped egg whites. Whipping egg whites is key to Bobby Deen's pancake recipe. Overall, Deen's trick of folding in whipped egg whites was the best hack for fluffy pancakesBobby Deen's pancake recipe was my favorite of the bunch. But I found that Deen's addition of egg whites whipped to stiff peaks was the best way to make super-fluffy pancakes.

☆ I tried Buffalo-chicken-dip recipes from Pat Neely, Trisha Yearwood, and Claire Robinson. The best uses a whole rotisserie chicken.
▼ + stars: | 2024-02-07 | by ( Ted Berg | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +1 min

Yearwood's dip took a surprisingly long time to make. I simmered the chicken in hot sauce for about an hour, but after trying a piece, I didn't think this gave the meat that much flavor. All the work seemed a little redundant when the recipe called for adding more hot sauce to the mayo mixture anyway. Once the chicken had simmered, I combined this mixture with the sour cream, mayo, cheddar, and a quarter cup of blue cheese. I thought the directions took an odd turn when they said to serve the dip "with the chicken" in step four.
