Is eating and drinking a hobby? If so, mine is Indian curry vegetables.

Eating and drinking are needed for life and comfort on a primative level while building memories and times of remembrance for both good and bad that can be revisited repeatedly and replicated, but rarely duplicated.
They are an expression of one's self and way to share the soul. Both filling and energizing, they help nourish both your inner being and mind. When you prepare food or drink for another, you are sharing a part of yourself in a way that involves all five senses and is more intimate than any actively done while not between the sheets.
Food and drink can be extremely simple, and often the best dishes involve less than 5 ingredients. Yet, they can be extremely complex, involving both creativity and science to create a masterpiece that takes hours to prepare and days to complete.
Yet it is not just the food and drink that comprises these things, for it is the surroundingcircumstances, such as company, song, mood, lighting and visuals, that assist in creating the total package.
Is food and drink a hobby? Perhaps. But I'd like to see you live without them.
