I wouldn't call myself intelligent. I have a brother who's intelligent. If I ask him a question he cannot answer it's either about chicks or fighting. (well, he would probably whip up a few theories anyhow)
I'm more like. Figuring out what's best and doing that. Like "This is my tools, how can I bes achieve my goal, as efficcient as possible?" (thinking inside the box, versus outside of the box I guess)
In this particulair case, my goal is to save dishes. (I always eat from the boiling pot btw.)
I was faced with the problem of Pasta Negro. My modified recepie, taken into consideration health and being poor looks like
Spagetti
Fried eggs (the yellow should be raw!) and carrots
Lots of pepper (hence "negro")
I've toiled with this for DAYS now. My frying pan is defective, the eggs just stick to it and burn, and frying in my boiling pot (or wussname) yields the same result. It just sticks. Frustrating. Not only does it burn valuable protein, it's also a PAIN to DISH.
The dashing solution:

First, you fry the carrots in the saucer, spice with curry and use wholesome oil. Add water and spagetti and set to boil, and THEN crack two eggs on your plate, and use your plate as a lid. The eggs will be done just in time for the spagetti to be ready:D If you then pour the eggs down the sacuer, or the spagetti upon the eggs is a matter of preference. I like eating from the saucer. I think saucer is the wrong word too btw. But whatever.
You will need ONLY one plate, one fork and one saucer. No extra dishes. No fryinpan involved. No burnt stuck eggs. And the eggs will be such a wonder! Like cook-fried! no chance of burning these!
