Stop worrying yourself, frui.
I see it like this...
I like to think of myself as someone who can both cook and appreciate good food, put together with high quality ingredients and superb craftsmanship (well, not my own craftsmanship; more at restaurants for that bit
). Saying that, there are some nights when I'd kill everyone within a 5 mile radius for a McDonalds M&M McFlurry.
Is there something wrong with me? I don't know either, but, more to the point, I don't care. I'm not eating the icecream for other people.
Enjoy what you enjoy, and if, from all the suggestions, you find another writer that gives you such pleasure, good for you. Criticism is for guidance, not for prescription. Take what you want and leave the rest where it lies.
...and best of luck with your search.
Cheers,
Marc
