Cooking is awesome. I'm intimidated by the process just like any other skill when I'm out of practice - cooking well takes time to learn. Managing expiration dates is difficult. The fridge feels like a ticking time bomb. Avocados mold in two weeks. When you're comfortable with your tools, cooking food is one of the best things you can do.
I think it's important for what I eat and make to be minimal. If I buy minimally processed ingredients myself, the end result will be simple and healthy for me; the more processed an ingredient is, the more likely the food is to have health consequences. Stick to whole, unprocessed foods when possible, and make things with few ingredients.

Love recipes, but I can do a far better job organizing these than in org-mode files! Need to make my own syntax for expressing them so that I can generate a cool, interactive cooking instruction website (inspired by ICA's website: the best cooking website that I've ever seen, I think).
