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

Hmm. There is no room in my bra.

Food update:

had some jam at breakfast, but didn't finish it off. I did finish off the mixed cinnamon sugar.

Mac had a sandwich for lunch, so more mayo used. I had green bean casserole.

We are having hotdogs for dinner - we keep hot dogs in the freezer, so using some of the frozen goods.

I should really bake something tomorrow.

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

So, I've found a delicious fruit juice that uses no HFCS or extra sweetener or artificial sweetener, just fruit and vegetable juices and harmless/healthy additives (like gum acacia and DHA algal oil). And I wouldn't have known it if I hadn't been obsessively reading labels in the grocery store. Why aren't they advertising "No HFCS, no added sugar" on the label? Seems like that would be a smart marketing strategy.

It's Minute Maid's Pomegranate Blueberry "Help Nourish Your Brain" juice blend, which AFAIK is new. There's a whole lineup of new (at least to me) Minute Maid juices in the store, but only this one had no bad stuff added in.

I was looking for a fruit juice that I could add fizzy seltzer water to, that would have a similar "mouthfeel" to Mountain Dew and thus hopefully help me break that bad habit once and for all. I think the "thick" mouthfeel of Mt Dew comes from the brominated vegetable oil, of which they supposedly use only a little, but it is probably bad even so (it is banned as a food additive in Europe). This juice has a similar feel, of being substantial somehow, hard to describe, and it's probably because of the DHA algal oil and the soy lecithin.

I've never understood why Fresca doesn't advertise as being sugar-free, either. You'd think they'd consider that a selling point.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, it's not like Fresca is so butch that calling it "diet" would hurt the brand.

Because books.

Brominated vegetable oil just sounds wrong, and I don't even know what it is. It sounds especially wrong in soda.

Fresca is delicious!

Our wings are not tired.

Does anyone else immediately think of Ainsley Hayes upon hearing "Fresca"?

ION, I cannot for the life of me figure out Bravo's policy on airing slurs! It seems like they are randomly bleeping or not bleeping, unless they are airing "faggot" but bleeping "fag"? How does that make sense?

Does anyone know if there's a way to use a webcam with fb?

V8 Fusions don't have added sugars or anything, just juice. Love the orange and mango ones. I rarely drink anything (besides hot tea and that's only a spoonful in a pot) with added sugars these days.

Bit of rain but hasn't cooled anything off. Looking at my fridge, I'm going to be eating a lot of spinach and fruit. I didn't have enough to get through to leaving, but now may have too much. My friends will be welcome to pillage when they come by to take care of my cats. My next door neighbor has agreed to as well (I think she just wants some kitty time. She would like a cat but travels too much.)

Rain blew through, didn't cool anything. Planted my free thyme. I so wasn't awake this morning, or I would have laughed at my spinach vendors saying to me "Here, have some free thyme!"

There's room in my bra. Because they aren't the right size because it doesn't exist. Grumble.

Depends on the bra, but in the super comfy bras there is whole little pocket space in the middle. And I have been known to cram in 5-6 DS games and a key.
