Boil half a dozen while the kitchen is already on for something else. Ten minutes in boiling water, then into cold water, and into the fridge with their shells on. There they keep for almost a week without asking anything of you.

Did you know? Egg protein contains all nine essential amino acids, the ones the body can't make on its own. It's so complete that it's used as the benchmark for measuring the quality of all the others.

The interesting part isn't the egg, it's what happens when you open the fridge and see it. Having something ready changes the question: it's no longer "what do I make?", but "what do I put next to it?". And that's when they appear on their own — the cool tomato salad, the breakfast toast, the mid-afternoon snack you were going to solve with biscuits.

One trick: keep them in a bowl in plain sight, not in the drawer at the back. What you don't see doesn't exist.

Start today: boil six eggs and leave them in plain sight in the fridge. The rest will come to you on its own.
