The kitchen is often considered to be the heart of the home, and we all know why: it's where the food comes from. Everybody's gotta eat, and for most of us, that means opening up the refrigerator and cobbling together a meal on a semi-regular basis. While cooking can sometimes feel like a chore, it can't be denied that when we get it right the results are one of life's great pleasures. It pays to know how to follow a recipe (or make one up yourself).

In essence, cooking memes are a recognition of how the practice of throwing ingredients together is basically a rite of passage for anybody who wants to be a fully functioning human. We may make mistakes sometimes, but that is part of the process that cannot be avoided. Also, it only adds to the material that can eventually be used for memes. We have to look on the bright side.
