I like cooking, but I don't cook often. Because I hate the fact that, with our limited body, we _have_ to eat. One day I may spend two hours having fun at the kitchen, and the following I'm eating instant food. I want to cook (and eat) when I want, not when I have to. And I feel this sentiment is taking me away from the kitchen.[0].

Alternatively, I also prefer to cook only for me. I can take the time I want. Retry as many times as I want. And don't have to take into account the other persons tastes.

[0] And I know this is a juvenile sentiment. I have learned to deal with it but it's just too damn annoying.

I wouldn't say it's juvenile. Progress is about getting rid of the bullshit you don't like doing in order to have more time for things you like doing.
