I have turned cooking into a geek hobby, studying the chemical processes that make food cook and taste the way it does (Check out Alton Brown on the Food Network). If you really think about it, proper cooking is merely the application of scientific principles done in a way to maximize aroma, flavor and nutritional payload. You can do this with some of the more traditionally "fattening" or "unhealthy" foods with a modicum of effort and really increase the nutritional value, while still being able to eat the savory foods many of us love. For me at least, turning this into science project has made me LOVE to cook, and I save quite a bit of money over the course of a year by maming my own meals, not to mention the rather significant health benefits.

This reminds me a little of your post about growing up. Both things take away from geek time. This is something you are going to have to look more closely at.

Thanks for your comments, Michael. I think I may try and take that approach as well.
And you're right about the growing up thing, Ken; this *is* very much inline with that other post of mine on the same subject.
