[Sca-cooks] Is cooking like costuming?

[Siegfried Heydrich]

    Unlike costuming, cooking is a perfect zen experience. It is transitory;
it can never be truly re-created, and exists only for one perfect (or
reasonably close thereto) instant. When completed, all that remains are
memories, a full feeling and a touch of gas . . . Sic transit gloria
munchies.
    Wonder what the Buddha ate? Before he sacked out under the bodhi tree,
that is . . . I mean, he WAS a prince, after all.
