ITT Uncharacteristic leisure activities

I cook. I like to make a big pot of something, veggie stew, lentil soup, cookies, cakes, whatever. I like the process of cooking. I espeically like when I have to make stuff like my potato salad where I have to mince things really super tiny, it's a level of intense concentration I just don't achieve normally, and it's relaxing for me.

My second favorite thing is teaching my old dog new tricks. Lu's latest thing is "Dance!" so from laying down, I say "Lets Dance!" she jumps from laying down, lands on her back 2 feet and then spins in circles. :lol: it's the funniest thing ever!
 
now, mr. smartmoneyman, do you REALLY think it's worth it? seriously, could it be valuable enough to spend that kind of money on? i'm really asking and not being a smartass.

Of course it isn't, but I love the way it looks. Makes me happy and what price can you put on that?
