Amen.

As a "hacker", I think a lot, all of the time.

So I cook to think about something else. Washing the dishes without dishwasher is also a moment where I let my mind wander.

Definitely not some time lost (to be honest I don't enjoy washing the dishes as much as cooking, of course, but I feel that connecting my brain on something "easy" is rahter good for me, else I'd jump on my computer right after eating...)

I actually learned almost entire lambda calculus, partial application, currying & tons of other theoretical CS while cooking.

I usually buy a book (these days I'm reading "Elements of Programming") read a chapter and then build the mental model while cooking. Cooking is a double edge sword for me.

I've never thought of it like that. That comment helps, thanks.
