Can't you see what this proves? I don't look anything like Andy Beals, and although I *can* cook, I *hate* to cook, because it's so boring, and so I never cook anything except for Kolach at Christmas. So obviously, the moral of all this extensive confessional analysis is that people who look like "Mr. Macho" (no doubt related to Mr. Awesome of Macintosh D of D fame) *enjoy* cooking! [Note, however, that most of the examples involve someone cooking for someone else... e.g. the above example, Andy Beals cooking for Ms. Booter, etc., so I think the experiment is not well-controlled at present, since there are other rewards than just "the joy of cooking" or "the joy of eating" or "the joy of washing the dishes" involved.] -- E.
