YEAH, it's definitely easier for me to go all-out with baking or cooking something if I know other people will be eating it. You don't have to worry about halving or cutting down on the recipe to make smaller portions (which is why I also always stick with semi-instant stuff when I cook for myself). Plus it's fun to be with other people and share food. I think that's something sourly missing in a lot of North American food culture, outside of like, specific nuclear family gendered situations. Cooking becomes a fun, social endeavour when you have others to share it with and even help you out, versus something you (perhaps even begrudgingly) need to do as sustenance to stay alive.
I still really wish you me and Kaiya could all be roomies sometimes... :[ I think it'd be fun.
