Oddly, I do like to bake, but it's a somewhat limited selection there too

Similar upbringing for me, and I didn't like to cook. I really learned once I was on my own after college, and found that I could make restaurant quality food for a fraction of the price, any day of the week. I started working from home about 15 years ago and that's when it really took off. Once I lost the hour plus commute each way, I had the time. Your reasons make sense to me. As far as baking, maybe not that odd. Most people either like baking or cooking, but not both. Of course there are some that don't enjoy either. About a year ago, I decided to experiment with soda breads and biscuits. My wife still likes to tell her friends how she could hear me swearing (both profanity and an oath to never do it again) from the kitchen every time I tried.
