Maybe I should rephrase that to hobby? Or past-time?
Actually how about dream job?

Hi Dani, I made this receipe and I really like it. The only thing is my spaghetti squash turned out to be purée not like spaghetti at all, as yours in the video. I followed your roasting receipe. Do you have any idea why that happened?
That’s so weird – I have never had that happen and am not really sure. The only thing that comes to mind is that possibly you were working with a different squash? Have you worked with Spaghetti Squash before? Any possibilty you may have had a look a like?
Hi Dani,
This was my first time working with spaghetti squash. I got the organic one sticker labeled spaghetti squash. Thanks
