Am I brilliant or just lazy? Efficient Dinnerware.

Hey, I eat Yogurt out of the container, drink milk directly from the jug, beer too.

Has anyone eaten hamburger without cooking it ?

I feel extremely noticed right now. Can I also claim brilliance when I do this at home?

As for the Fritos thing, don’t let the haters get you down. We’ve all done questionable stuff in our youth.

That is how you are supposed to cook many pasta dishes. Cook the pasta until it is almost done then finish in the sauce. If you really want to save dishes, fuel and onboard water precook the pasta at home until it is just chewy, then vacuum pack it. This works really well with homemade pasta, it stays nice and chewy. You still get the fresh aroma and satisfaction of making the sauce without the water wastage of cooking the noodles and washing the pot. Not lazy just resource efficient.

thats a stellar idea. i already boil whole russet potatoes at home and then wrap them in foil and put in the cooler and grate them for hashbrowns or whatever and i saved a lot of water and fuel having them already cooked. didnt think about that with pasta, but yeah...great idea.

Cooking spaghetti for dinner and didn’t feel like washing a plate. So, I just threw the noodles and fritos in the pan used to cook the meat and sauce. I did use plasticware to avoid scratching the pan. Sure did make cleanup easier. I think I’m onto something!!

I’m hungry now!!!!
 
I only use a plate when I am at home and my wife is watching. Otherwise I alway eat directly out of the pot I cooked it in. I travel a lot, so this is normal for me.
If your dog is along, have them lick the pot clean, then you need less water to clean up the pot. Just a little spritz to disinfect.

Probably invented the spork too.

The history of knife, spoon, and fork is pretty interesting, actually, and subject to a wide array of opinion as to how it all evolved.

Common thought is that it was the knife first, of course, as an implement of hunting, cutting, and preparing food for meals so used it, too, to get food from fire to mouth. Spoons were common too, before the fork, as implements of stirring and mixing. Then evolved a forked stick or implement to better secure transport to mouth; then refined and only rich folks had proper 'forks' while common folk made do with whatever; usually spoons.

First forks were two-tined, it's thought, as used to help secure meat for cutting, then used too for shoveling bits to mouth.

Here's an interesting array of opinion on the fork:

When and where was the fork invented ? | Notes and Queries | guardian.co.uk

And a bit about the history of the fork, 'anti-forkism,' and different types of forks used over time:

Knives and Spoons Are Ancient. Not Forks.

If you live in Europe or the Americas, you likely pick up a fork every day and give no thought to it, unless you’re selecting flatware for a wedding re ...

The debate varies widely still; many opinions which seem based regionally without taking into consideration it could have evolved differently in other places until commerce and wide-spread travel homogenized usage.
