There is a pleasure to be had from cooking a nice meal.. It's like a craft thing; it's enjoyable to go through the process and produce something nice sometimes.
I'd almost buy that, but if I work dilligently on the craft of making a model airplane, I don't immediately dissolve it a vat of acid the moment after it's completion, rendering it into nothing more than an oozing paste.

That's what you do with cooking - you destroy your beautiful (and arguably tasty) craft immediately after completion. In some cases, you spend all your time on making it and OTHER people destroy it.

I suppose it's a discussion for another thread.. it just seems so frivolous.
