Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Prefaced by me being me, just so's you understand, but 1/2 of my krav friends have complimented me on my recent weight loss, and the sensible half have worried looks on their faces when they comment on it.

Actually, the most sensible of them all just listen silently when I bitch, really.

But, honestly, I made enough noise about being happy with the weight gain that I'm surprised so many people think I should be happy by dropping it all, and faster than I put it on. Didn't they believe me?

Moral of the story: Yeah, it's safer to shut up.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, I wish I hadn't read that while eating my yogurt.

Grenadine, cream, gin, and EGG WHITE?!

I did NOT put egg white in mine and it was still gross. It was just very ginny. And I like gin.

Maybe the egg white would have saved it.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Wasn't your MIL the same one who said something about Em having Joe's metabolism and not yours? That stuck with me because it was so damn rude.

Yep! That's her!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Oh, nobody's ever gone so far as to pat my belly. I'm so self-conscious about my stomach, I'd just lose it.

Possibly. I think maybe something that could have made it sweeter would have helped. Like sugar syrup. I guess I thought the grenadine would be sweeter.

THEN we made white russians and used cucumber infused vodka by mistake. tasted... grassy.

After that I stuck to champagne and beer. Much more sensible.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Egg whites in drinks: [link]

A classic cocktail ingredient, often seen in fizzy/foamy drinks, but still way way gross.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

cucumber infused vodka

WTF is that?

Cucumbers used to infuse the vodka with a cucumbery taste. I imagine it would be delicious and refreshing in, say, a vodka tonic (I love a cucumber margarita for example). Not so great in a cream-based vodka drink.
