For the past week, I've had the weirdest craving for pickles. Dill pickles, sweet pickles, pickled things.

I've checked, I'm eating healthy. I'm not missing anything. I grabbed a few days worth of multivitamins, just to be sure. And yet OMG PICKLES YUM.

The non-sweet pickles are basically free. and yet, what's up with that?

You're pregnant.

No no, that would be pickles and ice cream.

...you're half pregnant.

We just have to work out which half...

It may be a salt/electrolyte imbalance. The year we went to burning man our friends made sure we had pickles as snacks as they counteract the dry heat and the fact that unless you're wearing a respirator 24/7 you're inhaling/ingesting a base powder. It helped, especially my throat which got quite irritated. You might try a sports drink to see if that reduces the cravings.

It means you're pregnant.

Or just the fact that pickled things are damn tasty.

That. Yes. You remind me: must make kimchi.

I personally like umeboshi, but good gods those things are expensive.

[cleodhna.livejournal.com]

Yes, they are... but so... very... delicious...

[theweaselking.livejournal.com]

That's been my best guess.

[skiriki.livejournal.com]

So, the pickles. Did you get them?

[theweaselking.livejournal.com]

I've been snacking on them all week.

Craving pickles isn't weird. It's my default setting!
