Ha ha, Liz, we have a lot in common!
I've put in bold the likes that we share. The only things from your "like" list that I'd definitely move to my "dislike" list are cooking and coffee (although I like coffee-flavored desserts). I prefer making mad-scientist kitchen creations and don't like following recipes. I don't know if that really counts as cooking!
