Cooking as permanent hobby

You can have booze as a hobby and overdo it, get drunk and vomit everywhere. You can have Half Life Team Fortress 2 as a hobby, overdo it and fail out of school. You can follow any fad or whathaveyou, and do that one thing for 18 hours a day for two weeks and be done with it.

If you do that with cooking, you'll have a tremendous amount of food you haven't eaten and be broke as shit from spending all your money on food. No one is going to make pancakes all day or roast turkeys. If you're serious about overdoing your cooking, you're going to be making lots of different dishes with different ingredients.

You're not doing that. Cooking is a self moderating hobby. And if you're saying, 'well, what if I eat all the food and put on 300 lbs?' Food coma: it exists.

In other news, I made Red Chard for the first time ever last night. Tasty.
