My mom was a very smart woman. As I got older I took over the dinner preparation. The mechanism and implementation for this was not known to me and happened so slowly as to be imperceptible to my developing brain. I would come home from school and make a pot roast. The pressure cooker made it very fast. I have a lot of fondness for them. The ignorant will dis this vessel because well, that's what the ignorant do best.

My parents had more important things to do than make food. My dad was building military installations on places like Guam, Midway, and Kwajalein. I can't say what my mom was doing for the Army but it involved computers. My dad said she had a higher security clearance than his. Neither of them brought their work home with them but that's just as well - it could have gotten them arrested.
