Be Back Soon; Street Prophets Sunday All Day Brunch

Submitted by michelewln on Sun, 10/02/2016 - 9:18am

Welcome to Sunday All Day Brunch. This is an open topic thread so help yourself to the goodies and sit a spell and let us know what is new with you.

I was going to do part two of the soup recipes but unfortunately I hurt my back and can’t sit at the computer for more than a couple of minutes. My Doctor put me on new medicine and my body is getting used to it and I fell yesterday pulling a muscle in the back.

The Saturday Evening Post

It's another week has passed, and I'm still in another world across the sea. I hope the world is spinning your way. Let me share a little of what I'm seeing, and ask you to do the same. What is the world like where you are? What did you learn that was of interest or importance this week? I'll try to contribute in the comments, and hope you will too.

So apparently the Chinese, they are actually, Egyptians.

Who knew?

China's founding dynasty, it is generally considered to be the Xia, who swaggered around between 2070 and 1600 BCE.

Now, Sun Weidong, a Science Man, he says these Xia people (and he says there is support for this, in ancient Chinese texts, and in radiometry), they migrated history4.gifup to China, out of Egypt; that the Xia were in Egypt the Hykosis people, who ruled around the northern Egyptlands, off and on, from the 17th century BCE onwards; until, eventually, they got kicked off and out of Egypt; and then, as Van Morrison do say, "they sailed and they sailed"; until they reached what is now known as China, and decided, there, to invent the Middle Kingdom, and become, the Chinese.

Some Chinese, to the Sun news, they are reacting, with frenzy:

How can the children of the Yellow Emperor have run over to Egypt? This topic is really too pathetic. The important thing is to live in the moment!

Fer sure. Right on. Party! Vote. For The Hairball.

Other Chinese, they See.

The world is such a big place, that one finds many strange things in it.

Absolutely. Goddam. Right.

Soups Part One (Recipes): Street Prophets Thursday Coffee Hour

Submitted by michelewln on Thu, 09/29/2016 - 9:26pm

(I'm late getting this up. Sorry but the last couple of days have been frantic.)

Welcome to Thursday Coffee Hour. This is an open topic thread so help yourself to the goodies and sit a spell and let us know what is new with you. With the weather changing it becomes soup season in my house. I have so many different recipes for soup I thought I'd post this in two parts. More Soups will be coming up during Sunday All Day Brunch.
