When I look in the fridge, I see groceries, but I don't see food. My stomach growls; but there is no appetite. Appetite and hunger are different. Appetite is the mental prompting that kicks the auto-response into drive so you actually reach out, take the food, put it in your mouth, chew, and swallow.

I have no sparks between these plugs.

Something I learned when I was very young: with cooking, it doesn't matter where you are; you can always cook.
