Was it definitely a waste? The time you spend preparing your own food has value. As does the mental impact of (depending what you bought) the pleasure of a meal you could not have made for yourself; and the relief of pressure of not having to do it yourself.

It is worth trying, though. Some people find out that cooking gives them more pleasure than waiting for their order to arrive.

True, but in order to find out if that is your case, you must try it out, and probably more than once.

Most hobbies aren't immediately awesome, a certain section of the learning curve must be climbed.

I still remember my silent desperation when I sat in front of a PC back in 1994 for the first time. Computers were totally alien to me at that time. Ten years later I was programming in several languages.

Personally, I enjoy both, equally, at different times.
