Here's a classic fro Anna Welander:

A woman was shopping and came across a shiny silver thermos. She was
quite fascinated by it, so she picked it up and took it to the clerk to
ask what it was. The clerk said, "Why, that's a thermos. It keeps hot things hot, and cold things cold."

"Wow," said the woman, "that's amazing. I'm going to buy it!" So she
bought the thermos and took it to work the next day. Her boss saw it on her desk. "What's that," he asked?

"Why, that's a thermos. It keeps hot things hot and cold things cold," she replied.

Her boss inquired, "What do you have in it?'"

The woman replied, "Two Popsicles and some coffee."

For more than 30 years this has been one of the dishes I have turned to
when pressed for time. I don't know where I got the recipe - I might
have invented it myself, even though I know I wasn't the first to make a
dish like this. I always have the ingredients on hand, and it makes a
quick and easy side dish that goes great with just about everything. I
often add some chopped fresh herbs, but it's just as good "plain."

Quick Pasta with Egg and Cheese Sauce

2-3 eggs
1/2 cup (125 ml) shredded Parmesan or Romano cheese
1/4 cup (60 ml) sour cream
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Chopped fresh herbs to taste (optional)
1 lb (450 g) dried pasta shape of your choice, or dried egg noodles, cooked according to package directions.

Combine the eggs, cheese, sour cream, salt, pepper, and optional herbs
in a small bowl and stir with a fork to combine. Drain the pasta and
return it to the pot immediately. Add the egg mixture and toss to
combine - the heat from the pasta will cook the eggs.
 Serves 4 to 6.
