Well, you also shouldn't use your kitchen knives to fight. [ Akira punctuates this with a vague gesture with his spoon, in a true cooking wife fashion, before he gives his onions a good stir and then lets them sit. ]

My parents were really busy, and I got tired of convenience store bento and frozen food. [ Akira doesn't sound -- anything, about it; it's a little matter of fact, and the slightest bit rehearsed. ] So I started cooking, and then Sojiro is really into the science behind curry, so... natural progression, I guess.

I like having things to do with my hands.
