I saw this, and I checked the URL to see I was in the right place. But then I saw Joan Walsh's headline "How Much Will White Racism Hurt Obama" and I felt reassured that I was "home."

But seriously, what is this story doing here? Anyone else perplexed?

Trisha Yearwood can sing Garth Brooks under the table, but he's the superstar.

Get the Trisha Yearwood deviled egg story up on the front page.

What, no recipe? My wife is from the next town over from Owasso, and went to OSU with Garth, and here I was, thinking I might get The Recipe. Sigh.

I live in Kansas and am forced to endure enough hillbilly nonsense on a daily basis. Please return to articles about Portishead and some white guy's opinion of the state of modern hip hop, this is a (thankfully) liberal rag after all. If I wanted to hear about country stars on the cultural commentary of my news sources, i'd watch Fox News.

not too crazy about boiled eggs, but the deviled stuff would be good on a cracker. Maybe a ritz cracker. With a Coors Light or two.

It beggars belief that you wouldn't take the time to say what went wrong with the onions, after having mentioned them twice in the article!

As a liberal that loves both Country music and food, I found the article very charming and well worth it's place on Salon.com.

But it's a shame there were no recipe for the eggs! It can be found here, though:

Just sayin'

Well, thank you for the surprising article.

Oddly enough, I've been in the kitchen for the past hour, listening Trish Yearwood's "songbook" album and, among other prep-work,....making 4 dozen deviled eggs. Those little-christians just got covered with saran-wrap and went back in the refrigerator. No kidding (Im throwing a graduation party).

I almost didn't go to Salon this morning.....I was dreading some headline concernedly asking whether Obama would be able to rise to the challenge of responding effectively to Hilary's Kennedy-gaffe.

P.S. Just a tip....no matter how you happen to make your deviled eggs (I've had some nasty ones in my life), do make sure to serve them with "Talk o' Texas" brand pickled-okra. We appreciate your business.

I was surprised and delighted to see the Trisha Yearwood article in Salon.I've been a long time fan of her music and we recently saw her in concert in New Jersey.

She seems like a real nice unaffected person with a self effacing sense of humor plus she has a great voice and excellent taste in picking songs.

I'm also a fan of Prince

Oops, sorry, right hair color, wrong genre.

It may be weird for a Black dude to say this, but I think Trisha is a stone fox! It's nice to see attractive women with *curves* in the entertainment industry (regardless of race).

I moved to Nashville 10 years ago - not to get into country music, but to get medical treatment at Vanderbilt for what had been diagnosed then as a fatal condition, with 6 months or less to live. Trisha Yearwood was one of the first singers I saw - at the Old Grand Old Opry (remember me Trisha? ). Anyway, fans came right up to the edge of the stage and she was so kind to all of them. I did not approach her and have never spoken to her, but her voice was flawless and effortless. Her demeanor was that of someone you knew and who knew you. "How Do I Live" made me a fan for life.

Her cookbook is actually as good a cookbook as you will ever find. Try those recipes and you soon realize Garth Brooks didn't just marry a beautiful woman with an awesome voice, he married a fantastic cook and homemaker. They are both so lucky to have found each other. I'm betting they stay together for as long as forever.

Also be sure to make them with "Austin Spice Company Red Lemon Pepper"...if we're talking product placement here...I'm kidding, kidding!

Much more pertinent, I love the idea of family cookbooks (my family has one privately published) and healthy female stars instead of the increasing population of skeletors.

Hillary's appalling gaffe was thoroughly hashed out in the War Room yesterday, with all appropriate criticism. We will be back to regularly scheduled Hillary or Obama bashing (depending on your POV) on Sunday.

(Deviled Eggs...mmmm)

What a charming article, and I disagree with the sentiments others have posted that it has no place on Salon. Has everyone forgotten Salon used to be the home of Mothers Who Think and the Fix? An article doesn't have to be about politics or Big Pharma or Ann Bauer's latest personal crisis to have a home on Salon.

Anyway, I live in the same county as Brooks and Yearwood and have bumped into them occasionally at various stores or restaurants (by 'bumped into' I mean that I was there at the same time; I have never met either one of them). Everyone around here has at some time or another. From all reports and from my own observations, they are both unfailingly gracious. And, they've been here long enough that a 'Garth-or-Tricia sighting' isn't enough to make you dig out your cell phone to tell someone. Fortunately for them, most locals are willing to let them live as normal of a life as they can.

It's refreshing to see an article on a well respected, national media outlet reporting about an authentically talented person who isn't engaged in sensational behavior. Rather, Tricia Yearwood is doing what she's always done: entertaining us with class. I'll be ordering her cookbook today.

that Trisha's hometown of Monticello in Georgia is adjacent to a national forest (which the current administration has been selling off) and is also the location for the filming of " My Cousin Vinnie". Anyone growing up there would indeed be an anamoly if she or he put on airs.

Thanks for the article. Will be sharing with family.
