I've been told that being able to cook and being willing to wash dishes
are surprisingly valuable assets when living in community. Even living
alone, being able to cook greatly increases quality of life. True, not
everyone has the privilege of the use of a kitchen. Home cooking gives
the satisfaction of having a meal made with love and as you like it. A
benefit often on my mind is the ability to omit certain things from the
ingredients. Often, affordable products contain unnecessary stuff, for
example a local store-brand flavored sparkling water has a preservative
(Sodium Benzoate) but it's just water! I was sent on an errand to find
cranberry sauce without corn syrup, for Thanksgiving. No grocery store
in my area carried that. They do sell raw cranberries, and it's fairly
easy to make home-made cranberry sauce. It's not health food, but it's
an example.
