Does your food taste better when you are happy?

It may seem like a strange question (because it is) but I can honestly say that the secret ingredient of "love" (for a lack of a better word) can make some dishes take fantastic. I'm more adventurous in the kitchen when things are really going my way. I just recently made a homemade pizza that had tri-color bell peppers that gave it a slight sweetness that was fantastic (I wish I took a picture of it). Kneading the dough was simple, it rose perfectly, and the homemade sauce was superb. Does the food that you prepare and cook taste better when you are in a better mood or does it all taste the same?

I think you are on to something. I think everything tastes better when you are happy or are at a positive time frame in your life. I think life is better when you feel happy ect.... I notice other things as well if you are destressed ect.

I always admire people who can actually cook. I have a friend who always brought cake she baked herself at home and the other who brought either macaroni schotell or home made lasagna to the class, and I would get lunch for free that day. I don't have the talent. I can't cook. The best I can do is the instant food which you can eat after 3 minutes cook, or those frozen food with microwave as the only tools to cook.
I, of course, often heard that the food you cook would look better, and taste better when you're cooking with joy and happiness. But I think, all my friends were always happy when they're cooking because no matter what their cooking were superb. Me, in the other hand, though I was feeling great, fulfilled with happiness and delighted because of something good came to me, I would still over baked the brownies or overcooked the spaghetti, and it always ended up terrible.
I think the mood is just a helper, and the cooking ability still hold the best, when you talk about making your food taste good.
