there's cooking to eat and cooking for fun. cooking for fun can get pretty expensive

Thiiis I was struggling to properly articulate this It isnt that I don't cook, it's just that I can't afford to cook for fun due to tight budget, and cooking always out of necessity makes it hard to call it a hobby Its like saying drinking water is a hobby, which... Well there are people who are really into drinking water, so scratch what I said XD

Yeah, one of my hobbies is smoking meats. Those meals are more expensive (because we usually don't have that much meat in one meal) but it brings me more joy (than what the meat cost) to produce some fine smoked ribs than to buy them elsewhere. Also more bang for my buck.
