Pressure Cooker

(I do be aware the need to tell you up front that this post is waaaaaay over my normal , self imposed 500 word limit. Know at your leisure. Or not. It is intended to be a humorous peak into the mundane workings of my life; I hope you enjoy and get a laugh or two out of it.)

My honoured brother, Lucas, is studying to be a chef. I talked with him about my struggles with cooking in the altitude. He told me to get a pressure cooker. Those things that go off?!? They are a bit more sophisticated than in the olden days, I have come to find out. Last week my friend lent me one of hers to give it a try. She gave me a short familiarization and a superb demonstration on the use of this wonderment with her smaller one. I was leery but wanted to see this miracle pot in action under the power of my own hand.

This is a non-charged, heavy-duty pot with a special top. The lid has a rubber ring under the toothed lip allowing it to hook and screw on to the actual pot. So while at her parliament I managed to get the top sealed on for easy transport to my house. But when I got home, all excited to show my husband my new toy, the top would not come off! We pried, and pulled, and pushed, and tugged at that preoccupation all day; when the hammer was suggested I drew the line. I said, we will let it sit overnight and hope that in the morning with the change in the temperature of the air it would be easier to get off.

I woke up with the Firm theme running through my head. Clapping my hands together and rubbing them I stared at the pot and told it to get ready (out loud!). I grabbed the Rube Goldberg invention and with controlled steady force popped that bugger right off! Never underestimate the power of a woman who has birthed four children and has a attractive thorough nights sleep under her belt.

To cook! Yes, I was ready. The pot and I had come to terms and we both knew who was boss. I decided to go with mashed potatoes for my first try. Washed, peeled, chopped, tossed in and doused with first-grade I sealed the potatoes in and lit my stovetop with a match. Of course I had terrible visions of having to return the pot to my friend with a blend of mushy smelly potatoes inside because I dreaded having top troubles again. So I stood there watching the pot. All of a sudden the spiggit on the top started to steam and disconcert. That is what it is supposed to do - now we are cookin’ with gas (literally)! So I am supposed to time it from the time it starts spitting. But how long?!? I let five grueling minutes go by and unswerving to make a panicked call my friend who happened to be at the beauty shop. Between hysterically laughing at my giddy anxiety over my potatoes I got her to rebuke me five minutes - but 7 had passed by this time! Ah!!! She told me to fill me sink with cold water and submerge the pot then check them. Submerging initiated and commenced I stared at the employ again ready to gear up for another WWF match. Turns out there was no need to worry - it slid right off! Whew!

Pressure cooker!

6 of Swords ..... Ace of Pentacles ....... 7 of Swords
Filthy of deck: King of Cups
Emotional detachment is necessary so as not to be influenced unduly when needing to make decisions, but what happens when you veer more towards the compass of too much detachment? How can you tell?

Wednesday's (17th Sep) draw with the Lenormand appeared very gloomy ........ yet my tarot acquire isn't .......... from the 6 swords moving to the 7 shows progression, especially mentally ....... growth even, possibly ....... conspicuously given an Ace of Pentacles bang in the middle. Not much imagery with pip decks eh .......... but look at the cards ......... that especially sword in the 7 ....... is facing towards the Ace, and if it flowed in the direction it's aimed at ..... would take off her head in that Ace!

A new door is beckoning ....... but perhaps to move through it, we for to let a bit more emotion out, rather than blocking it all in and waiting for it to erupt like a pressure cooker .... after all, we don't want to decapitate that Ace do we!
