If you were questioning the metaphor, it's:

A Midland US expression, I think. "Saucered and blown" (or "sassered and
blowed" or the like) means "ready" or "finished". The basic concept is
that the coffee in the cup is too hot to drink, so one pours some into
the saucer and blows on it until it's cool enough to drink, then pours
it back into the cup.
