I enjoy cooking. Sometimes I cook by myself, sometimes I cook with my GF, so it's a couples activity. Sometimes I go full engineer and I measure everything with a kitchen scale (WTF is a "tbsp"?). Sometimes I feel more creative and go off piste, with varying results.

Cooking for yourself is also cheaper, healthier, and gives you full control over the inputs, the process, and the output.

Maybe it is old-fashioned. Then again, I am slowly acquiring woodworking tools (and leatherworking tools, and book restoration tools, and...) so maybe it's just a matter of personal taste. I've recently realized I'm a craftsman; this has both helped my understand my widely varying hobbies, and guiding me towards new things that interest me.
