Cooking is to eating as Writing is to Reading

Oh dear, it's been a long day of food preparation and a long evening of food consumption. Well, nobody's going to bed unhappy, so that makes me smile. I enjoy cooking and writing for myself, but it gives me immense pleasure to know when I've prepared (either in the kitchen or at my desk) a delectable item for consumption (by eating or reading). Writing and cooking both get better with practice and the more you do it, the more you see (or taste) where you've made mistakes, and know where to adjust the next time you offer up your wares.
