Chicken-Rice Cake

Mom and Dad had decided to have chicken and rice soup for dinner one night. The chicken had been left to simmer down for a while when Dad passed through the kitchen and decided to add the rice. A few minutes later, Mom passed through the kitchen and decided to add the rice, since Dad never mentioned that he already had. Dad wandered back into the kitchen, looked into the pot, and decided there wasn't enough rice, so he added more. Mom remembered how much rice she had previously added and decided that wasn't enough. Without looking into the pot, she added more, locked the pressure lid down, set the jiggler and the timer, then left the room. As they sat down to watch a movie, their dinner continued cooking.

BANG! Thok, thok, thok ...

The massive amount of rice that had been added caused the jiggler to shoot off of the top of the pot. The rice was being fired through the open vent with such force that it was splattering across and sticking to the once-clean surface of the ceiling. There was a large glob that fell back down from the ceiling and landed on the top of the pressure cooker, whose hot surface causes the moist rice-pudding-ball to explode. Rice was everywhere. After a few moments of disbelief, Dad tossed a dishrag over the pot and took it off the heat. When the pot had stopped trying to launch rice and was cool enough to open, all that could be seen was rice. There was so much rice packed into that little pot that the brand of the pressure cooker could be read on the top of the world's first "Presto Chicken-Rice Cake".
