I like to cook, but dont see it as a prominent hobby of mine. I'm not "crazy" over it as they say. I am actually one of these kind of people who would be okay even with just an open can of sardines for dinner/night before I go to bed. Things that require cooking, like meat, eggs etc. are things I have to cook and so I have to do it with these foods. I always hated the work and effort required for cooking, especially more complicated things, like salsa etc. So I'm okay with cooking, but dont really LOVE it that much or want to do it so often, only when I have to, or when it is something that requires cooking to be consumed(like what I mentioned).
Lol, cooking and baking used to be one of my special interests. I could spend hours preparing the food, making sure every diced pepper was the appropriate size and every flour base was thoroughly mixed. I was super anal retentive about it, but there was a payoff, the food was really good. Anymore though, I just slap something on the stove and call it good. Cooking and especially cooking well is a lot of work and effort, something I don't think a lot of people understand-- especially if they're used to getting hot meals at a restaurant or having their SO cook for them.
