steam

As the water comes to a boil, I place the platter of prepared fish,

a clean, descaled fish sits in an arrangement of scallions, ginger, pickled turnip and sliced jujubes

Soon, this will become a meat dish to the stir fry, the white rice, and the mustard greens just picked from the garden and quickly blanched.

This force that propelled industrialization, the growth of the railroad and the cost of many lives (primarily Chinese and Irish workers) from east to west. The concept of heating water and coals and engines created the basis of the locomotive engine.

A loud outburst that has no rational purpose.

'It just came out that way. I was upset.'

Or 'just let her be. She just blowing off some steam.'

I hear the steam cooker whistling away as it maximizes hrs of cooking into one hour.

It's fast, saves energy but is it the same?

I hate it when I forget to let the leftovers from dinner cool and the steam condenses on the saran wrap. The droplets of water are very unappealing....
