“Save time washing up by eating directly from the saucepan.” – The sage
Washing up is one of life’s most persistent household inconveniences. Plates, bowls, and cutlery pile up with remarkable speed, creating the illusion that cooking is somehow connected to cleaning. The Wise Sage rejects this outdated philosophy entirely.
The simplest solution is to remove the middleman. By eating directly from the saucepan, frying pan, or baking tray, you eliminate several items of washing up in one elegant stroke. For particularly efficient dining, the Sage recommends keeping a wooden spoon permanently in the pan and simply returning for occasional mouthfuls throughout the evening.
Should guests appear unexpectedly, simply place the saucepan in the centre of the table and describe the meal as “communal rustic dining.” This creates the impression that the arrangement is deliberate and fashionable rather than the result of determined laziness.
As always, The Sage accepts no responsibility for burnt tongues, puzzled dinner guests, or anyone quietly ordering pizza on the way home.

Hi Sage.Does the timing of this advice coincide with the absence of your missus ? Sometimes I hanker for those good old bachelor days when time stretched out forever like a greyhound
