I can sorta see why people might cook. I love to bake, and that probably gives some of the same bennies. Yummy smells! Anticipation of exactly the kind of food I had my heart set on! No need (well, presuming you went to the grocery store earlier) to leave the house in the pounding rain!
On the "cooking" side of things, the bean soup is starting to smell mighty nice. That'll go well with the bread dough that's still in the fridge waiting its turn to rise and bake. (See, baking always has to come into it, with me. It's the part I can do well. (Is fondue therefore baking?))
I have the other half of the bread dough in the oven, proofing. I'll start to bake it in probably ten minutes or so. And then I get to shred cheeeeeeeeeeese, and by the time the bread is done and slightly cooled, I'll get to dip it in fondue.
...oh don't go out tonight;
there's a bread dough on the rise...

I hope your bread turns out better than that line!

But I'm a serious bread baker (I wear gloves these days to cover my eczema), and I am happy to have a theme song for baking.

Better than the version that usually gets stuck in my head: "There's a bathroom on the right..." ;-)

On the other hand, I would so grow rosemary to put in breads. In my opinion there is no more divine flavor to add to a bread than rosemary.

You can't put me into bread
You do live in the perfect climate for growing rosemary, though. Go to the garden center and find a nice bushy specimen, put it into a pot with nice acidic soil, and park it somewhere outside where it will get good sun and moderate moisture. Then snip as needed for breads, soups, roasted potatoes, and whatever else strikes your fancy.
Re: You can't put me into bread
Rosemary bushes will happily grow completely untended here. There is an... ongoing discussion between Rob and me about whether rosemary bushes are "dark and ugly and scraggly looking" (him) or "lovely-smelling and so cute when they bloom" (me). So far, the net result of this discussion is that no action has been taken, which means we still have ivy in the front yard, which we BOTH hate!

...and dig up all that ivy and plant a rosemary bush or two. Even if he doesn't like the very deep green of it, a bush of it has got to be better than all that ivy!

As for baking smells - totally addictive. Given my lack of culinary skill, I usually settle for passing by the bakery!
Okay. I occasionally step in for fresh scones, or muffins, or cookies...

Should our paths eventually cross, I hope to hand you something scrumptious. :)

I love collecting bread books too. I have a bunch in the kitchen bookshelves.

I only have two bread books really, but neither one has everything I want.
