Just now I was surfing the net and came across and amaizing roasted chicken recipe that will be a perfect addition to my lowcarb recipe arsenol.
Then suddenly a thought hit me. When I was growing up my grandmother dictated what would and wouldn't be done to my hair. So I grew up knowing very little about caring for my own hair, and what I did know was antiquated (a lot of old wives tales and traditions). Finding the forum has taught me new ways of caring for my hair, and I now have the hair that I never could have imagined--because I learned to put aside things that weren't appropriate for the hair I have today.
Likewise, I grew up with a lot of tranditional black southern cooking which was good (Amen wasn't it good y'all? :lol: ) but again it wasn't appropriate for my health. Today it's hit me that I can learn new ways of cooking and thinking about food just as I learned new ways of caring for and thinking about my hair.
Naturally, I will always love my grandmother for caring for me to the best of her knowledge (and I must say that despite everything I grew up with a lot more hair still attached to my head at 18 then a lot of black girls did), but there is always room for newer more modern thinking.
I hope this inspires others to venture away from tradition in search of things that are healthier for themselves inside and out.
