Cooking
Cooking is a rather versatile hobby. It isn't something that must be done to the exclusion of other things. You can listen to music and dance around your kitchen as you prepare dinner. You can spend quality time with others while cooking, too. It's one of several hobbies that allow you to potentially create a source of income for yourself.
Cooking can be meditative and relaxing when we take our time and really get into it. It's ritualistic in nature. Recipes can be passed down from generation to generation - we carry on traditions as we prepare family recipes. It allows us to connect with one another over time and distance. We cook for those we love. Certain scents and flavors can transport us back in time and evoke memories of those who have nurtured us. In this way, cooking can be cathartic as well.
