Damn, that seems like a long time to (try to) keep it secret, for so many reasons.
I wanna hurt you, but I can't resist the sinister attraction of your cold and muscular body!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Funny part is, her boss was startled, and she was kinda pissed at the co-worker for saying anything.
Even with my lack of attention (she's not on my team, but the team adjacent), I'd picked up on it about a month or so ago.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
it's been meaning "watery porridge" to me all this time
I guess the quality of being thin and watery is often used to characterize the difference between the two? I'm just going on current dictionary definitions, but I am very much wishing I could get my hands on an OED. Ah well. Better I should get back to work.

OK, now I have a problem. I just ate a sandwich that incorporated part of an avocado (but, alas, no bacon, as I had put it in the freezer). With the rest of the avocado, I made guacanole. Delicious, delicious guacamole. Is there any good reason I shouldn't just go buy some chips and eat it all right now? Other than, you know, saving it for later?

It's not as appetizing when it turns brown.

I know that some women just really don't want to tell folks they are pregnant. And I've seen some who even at 6 months just look a bit thicker. Not me? I already look like I have a bowling ball tucked under my shirt.

Ah, but I have found the solution to that problem: Coating the top with sour cream. I don't think there is an occasion where I would eat guac where sour cream would not be a welcome addition.

You have a defined pregnancy. Hers is less so, but she still looks like she's gained a bunch of weight, most of it in a potbelly. Given she's not wearing baggy clothes, it was a secret whose time was nigh.

This is always a good thing.
So here's the topic up for debate in my office: Is Faith turning into a Li'l Kim wannabe? (Faith Evans, the singer. Ex-wife of Biggie Smalls) We all seem to think so and are wondering if it's all related to the long-rumored Biggie-Kim romance.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I like the taste of oatmeal, but not the texture. I love oatmeal raisin cookies and oatmeal bread, but the breakfast slush makes me shiver.
I've only had oatmeal that I liked once. Unfortunately it was at a B&B, and I didn't think to ask the proprietor how she made it. It wasn't at all mushy, gelatinous, creamy, or gruel-like in texture. Each individual oat maintained its integrity, it was nicely chewy, and tasted great with a little brown sugar.
See, you both need to make it with much less water. This keeps it from getting gray and mushy and you can get the oats texture. I use half the water, and stand there stirring it since it absorbs it quickly.
