Lol. I like how one of your steps is just commentary, not an actual action one must take.

I love eggs. Variety and simplicity in cooking and yum makes for a good food. Also I'm inspired to suggest two simple yet yum foods to add to your arsenal.

A) Toast and eggs
1: Cook one egg via one of the following methods, in order of preference: soft-boil (2-3 minutes) or your preferred variant of over-easy/firm/etc. (you want a liquid yolk)
2: Make toast, with a small amount of butter. 2 slices, no more, no less.
3: Slice toast into half, then each half into strips thin enough to dip the end into your egg yolk
4a: If you boiled the egg, put it in an egg cup, lobotomize it with a spoon, dip toast strips in, and enjoy.
4b: If you over-Xed the egg, just dip and enjoy, the toast will rupture the yolk on its own.

B) Grilled cheese
1: Get two slices of bread (any type), enough cheese to cover (any type, but American is flavorless and runny ew), butter/butter substitute, and any miscellaneous cheese additives you might like (think omelette ingredients).
2: Butter both sides of both slices (some people consider this too much butter, but I consider such people to be weak of artery), not too thick
3: Assemble sandwich on griddle-esque (flat-bottomed and low-walled) pan on stove. I think the method here is obvious.
4: Cook sandwich on medium, not high, for several minutes. Good technique, as this is griddle food, involves smushing the sandwich with your spatula. After 2-ish minutes, flip it and see how the cooked side looks while the other side cooks for a similar amount of time. Add cooking time per-side as needed to achieve toastiness. Once a side is almost done, flip frequently to avoid burning.
