Because other picky eaters do not think that I qualify as a picky eater for
one thing. There used to be a forum for adult picky eaters. It's no longer
there. But literally everyone there said that I ate too wide of a variety
of things to be considered a picky eater. Many of these people were so
picky that they ate little besides dry toast, grilled cheese sandwiches,
chicken nuggets and French fries. Some ate pizza. Most ate no other
vegetables or fruit. Most were even terrified to try new things.

I also don't seem to fare very well at writing recipes. Although I love to
cook, I prefer winging it most of the time. I did try to do recipes when I
was younger and entered cooking contests but I found the details of writing
the recipe out to be too tedious for my liking. While I find it necessary
to measure things for certain kinds of baking and candy making, I tend not
to measure for savory items. I did make an apple crisp yesterday and
measured nothing. Stuff like that, once you've made it once or twice you
can merely go by the way it looks. I also got to where I could do a lot of
the quick to fix candies (as in ones that don't require cooking to a certain
stage) without measuring. Even as a kid, I did things this way.
