Getting your player ready...
Cooking isn’t always about getting dinner on the table. Sometimes, like on days off when you’ve already mowed the lawn and done the laundry, cooking is a hobby. It’s about having a good time in the kitchen, experimenting with something new, maybe learning a new technique.
On hobby days, you fire up your iPod dock, turn your kitchen into a workshop, roll up your sleeves and make a mess. You aren’t worried about hitting a dinnertime deadline, and you aren’t anxious about whether anyone’s going to like your roast, and you aren’t pressured to do everything perfectly. And if you pick a cheap experiment, you can kill a few hours for way less than it costs to go see “Star Trek” again.
