I cook. A lot. Frequently over-ambitiously but I like to think I'm pretty good, aside from not getting dinner on the table until an hour after I planned.
Roleplaying, mostly Call of Cthulhu these days.
And yes, boardgames. Chess, Go, Diplomacy, Ticket to Ride (Europe! Switzerland! India!), King of Siam, Carcassonne, Settlers, Pandemic.
To answer the above question, my father will absolutely never play board games, he used to play chess, and may occasionally be talked into that, but nothing else. He's a sore loser. My mother only likes classic card games (Canasta, Rummy) and things that are all luck like Skip-Bo (ugh). My brother also won't play anything, mainly because he can never commit to anything for more than an hour without wandering off. So I depend on friends to play games with, because no one in my family will play.
