Noodles
Posted: May 28, 2013 | Last Revised: May 28, 2013
This story goes WAY back - - - in the mid 60's as a child I remember Mom in the kitchen making dinner for a family feast, Grandma and Grandpa Konecne were coming for dinner.
It was to be a simple menu - Mom's homemade chicken and noodles, a favorite.
Pulling out the "pressure cooker", Mom had dinner well in hand as her guests were soon to arrive. Taking the cooker off the stove and to the sink to release the pressure something was wrong - - - - the pot would not release to get the lid loose.
While struggling to get the cooker open Grandma and Grandpa made an early appearance, entering through the back door as was customary in our family.
Seeing Mom struggling with the lid Grandpa, ever the gentleman, strode to the sink to assist. Just as he reached for the handle - - - POP - - the lid burst open and noodles literally flew all over the kitchen!
Everyone else ran into the room to see what happened. There were noodles stuck to every thing. Hanging from the ceiling, splattered on the floor all over Mom, and as she turned to see noodles hanging from Grandpa's glasses she calmly declared - - - "Dinner's ready"!
