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.

I am there in spirit since it is impossible for me to be there in person. As part Cherokee I am proud that my people are there with our brothers and sisters trying to stop the desecration of our lands.

Growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area I was exposed to some of the best Chinese food in the world. One of my favorites is the steamed pork buns Char Siu Bao.

As an artist since childhood one of the hardest questions to answer is how I come up with ideas for my artwork or jewelry.

I finally felt good enough to take my smaller camera out and take some pictures of the beautiful flowers we have growing around this apartment complex. I must say I have never lived in a more beautiful landscaped place then here. Of course I sort of forgot to check the weather report first figuring that early in the morning was going to be okay.

Just in case you need a break from shills or politics or just plain like cats here is my diary for today. Feel free to post pictures and stories of your pets or in case of cats the cats who own you. If you are looking for dinner ideas this is what we are having tonight. After all I just live in the South now I haven't turned to cooking totally Southern.

This is my first time back in 2 months after getting knocked down and into the hospital with pneumonia. Since I am now at 1,051 recipes in my original recipes books I thought maybe I should share a few with people. I am making Cajun Red Beans and Rice with Andouille Sausage for dinner tonight.

(I've been bringing the Street Prophets diaries from Thursday and Sunday over here. I'm going to have to take a break and wanted to let you know why).

Welcome of Thursday Coffee Hour. I try and present things to look at that are a break from all politics all the time.

I love to cook but with only two people in the house there is usually leftovers. Reid loves Corned Beef around St. Patrick's Day and I love Chinese BBQ called Char Siu. I have learned to make enough so that I can do more than one recipe using the meat.
