Brewing beer and baking bread are canaries in a coal mine. If you find yourself interested in either of those, quit your job immediately and go to Akihabara for a month. Home-baked bread is amazing and worth the 15-30m of your daily life every now and then. In America, it's inconvenient/expensive to get really good bread. Brewing beer is more effort, but I bet people find the process and reward fulfilling and wholly worthwhile.
