Hello all! Actually I'm from Kentucky and Beebers is pretty right-on with her generalizations of people from the South! I have the tendency to cook with a lot of butter, heavy whipping cream, and Crisco... however, over the years I have learned to make healthy substitutions! It's been very difficult living here after being in small town Kentucky (population of my town is about 13,000 people). I live in the Marina (JBR-Al Fattan) and in the morning I head down to Starbucks and I say "hello" to everyone I pass on the street. I mostly get looks like I've sprouted 20 heads. Indeed, we are a culture raised to say hello to everyone, to stop and help out a stranger, bring food to the sick, new in town, just had a baby etc. As far as recipes go, when in doubt and you want to make something "southern" Paula Deen is my go to chef. I use her when I'm trying new recipes. Last year for Thanksgiving I made southern Collard Greens for the first time, as well as cheese grits. For both I used Paula's recipes and they were delicious. Another great website for southern food (although their farm is in Oklahoma) is www.thepioneerwoman.com almost all of her food is cooked the way it is done in the South. Good luck with making Southern food and if you have any questions about ingredients, don't hesitate to ask.

I know this post is older, but I'm curious if you were able to get your hair fixed? I read your horror story, and I feel SO bad for you because the same thing just happened to me in July,but in the US. My hair dresser turned my hair orange and bright yellow. I looked like a highlighter head. My hair was also so burned it was crumbling when I touched it. The only way it could be fixed was to get a super short pixie cut and to cut all that bad color out. The super short hair was a shock, but it will grow, and at least my hair looks healthy again. I hope they were able to fix your hair without chopping it off.
