MY MOM'S PRESSURE COOKER

My dear children, did you enjoy the food that your mom cooked for you today ? Mommy makes food by using different ways of cooking, right ? Some times she cooks the food in a frying pan by frying the food items, some times she roasts or bakes the food by using microwave or oven and sometimes she cooks the meal using pressure cooking method in a " PRESSURE COOKER . "

Today I am going to tell you something about pressure cooker . I hope you will like the article and it will help you to understand how it works. The pressure cooker was invented by a french physicist Denis Pepin in the year of 1679.He named it the "digester ". He invented it to reduce the time, used for cooking food . He presented his invention in front of Royal Society and King Charles II . He demonstrated that how the digester cooked the food like meat and fish in lesser time than any other cooking method .It was how the pressure cooker was invented.

A pressure cooker cooks the food quickly because it is a hermetically sealed pot which produces steam heat . The pressure cooker is air tight that's why the steam present in the pot cannot go out . It heats the water to produce very high steam which forces the temperature inside the cooker as high as 266° F (130° C) so high temperature that it cooks the food faster and quicker.

The food is cooked faster so it does not loose minerals and vitamins
vitamins . It needs a less quantity of water for cooking and it can cook every kind of food . It is also good for saving energy because it takes much lesser time than any other cooking device . Isn't that a wonderful
invention.

Safety rules - 1.Always check your equipment before using it.
2. Use enough amount of water and oil.

3. Release the steam when the pot is cooled down .

4. Always clean the pot properly .

5. Do not fill any pressure cooker more than 2/3 full.

6. Moms should not let the children get too close to the pressure cooker.

I hope that you and your mom will find the article informative and helpful .

DON'T SPEAK ILL OF OTHERS BEHIND THEIR BACK (Moral Story)

A long time ago there was a' Gurukul' (Hostel) in which children used to live and study. Among those children there were two kids who were brilliant in studies . They were favorite students of Guruji(The Teacher ).
Both of them were very good friends too . Many years passed by and now teacher decided to take the test of the children . All the children did well in the test specially the two favorites of him . The teacher found both of them equally good and they got equal marks too , he was very happy but he wanted to know that whether both students had put there knowledge into practice.

One day he called one of them and said to him "Dear, you and your friend did equally well in exam I am glad that the two of you are such good students , now I want to know that what do you think of your friend ? " The boy said " Guruji ", I have learned all the subjects by heart but he learnt them by rote, I think he has no brains he is like an" OX". Oh, never mind dear , experience will teach him every thing " said the teacher, "you can go now son".
After meeting the first student he called the second one and asked the same question to him . The boy said " Guruji I have gained my knowledge by understanding it, but my friend has achieved it by rote. He is just like a"CAMEL"."Oh , never mind. Experience will teach him every thing ," teacher repeated the same words and asked him to leave.

Next day their teacher invited both the boys for lunch . The two boys became so happy because it was a big honor for them .The lunch was served and what a shock ! while there was the normal meal was served for Guruji, but for the boys there were only leaves and grass !
The teacher said" you called each other an ox and camel so here is your food , grass for the ox and leaves for the camel".' Please have it'.

One little girl... always talks,
All friends call her Miss chatter box.

Talks at home and talks at school,

Every time breaks the "keep quiet rule".

Talks on the phone and talks in the park,
Seems that she was born to talk.

Chit-chat ,chit-chat chatting goes on,
Little Miss chatter box just keeps on.

JINN IS AFRAID OF .............. ?

Bobby was going back home after playing . When he was on his way suddenly a shiny beautiful stone drew his attention. It was triangle shaped stone . Bobby had never seen a stone like that . He picked up that stone rubbed it by his hands and guess what ? From the stone smoke started coming out and a"JINN" appeared in front of the little boy . Bobby got so scared and stunned. The Jinn said to Bobby," No sir you don't need to be scared I will not harm you .You have let me out of this stone so now I am your servant and will help you out in every task!" ."But my parents will not allow me to keep a Jinn in my home!", Bobby said .
" Do not worry sir, I am only visible to you, any other person would not be able to see me ", the Jinn answered. " O.k then you can come with me ". Bobby was too happy that he had a Jinn as a helper now . He took the Jinn home . After having his evening snacks he went to his room with the Jinn and said to him, " Mr. Jinn can you help me to clean my wardrobe ?". "Yes why not sir?", Jinn answered. And the untidy and messy wardrobe became so clean and tidy within few minutes .

"Could you please help me to change the bed sheet and pillow covers ?", Bobby asked. "Yes sir, it will be my pleasure!", said the Jinn . The work was done . Jinn did several jobs including the resetting of the toy shelf, cleaning the flower pot, polishing the shoes etc. Mom will be so happy to see my room she always says that, " Your room is a mess!", Bobby thought happily .

Now it was time to do the home work . Bobby had to solve ten very difficult sums . He asked Mr. Jinn, "Can you help me with my home work ?". " Of course , I will! " , Mr. Jinn said with a lovely smile on his face." Tell me in which subject you want me to help you ?", Jinn asked. "Well you have to help me to solve few sums in Maths" , Bobby said and turned back to open his bag . He took out his note book and looked for Jinn but he was not there .
Mr. Jinn !
Mr Jinn where are you ?
There was no sign of Mr. Jinn . "Ah ! Maths !! Even a Jinn is afraid of Maths!!" , a very disappointed Bobby started doing the sums . -Aunt Mary

"MY SHADOW" (POEM)

A constant companion my shadow is with me,
An imperfect imitation my shadow is with me.

Everything I do it copies that ,
A great fan of mine it is in fact .

In the morning and evening it appears tall,

When sun is overhead it becomes small .

Some times it makes me scared almost,
Creeps and follows like a phantom or ghost.

My shadow is with me wherever I go,
My shadow is with me that I know.
-Aunt Mary
