I am just going to ignore the Henny Youngman joke (okay, I chuckled a tiny bit), but will say this, I can barely boil water, but my girlfriend loves cooking and baking and is (my opinion, not hers) a professional-level baker.
What is fun to watch is the joy she gets from doing it. She loves the raw ingredients, the processes involved and the combination of science and "feel" that goes into it. She's always learning new techniques, trying out new recipes or just experimenting "freestyle." We all know our significant others very well - baking is one of the times when she is truly most content. It's just so neat to see.
