The one in Shoreline was actually where I ate (although I go to the Mill Creek one far more often), because I had been stuck in a walk in clinic nearby for a few hours and was STARVING when I left.
Probably a good thing I didn't notice is though since I can't eat wheat/gluten. I hate missing out on the awesome looking pasta salads... boo. Though I make my own with rice noodles at home.

Different Central Market, as the one here is part of a very small local chain called Town & Country Markets, but now I'm jealous of these samples you speak of. om nom nom.

I haven't worried too much so far about it, although I do want to brush up on "the list." I'm vegan so I know I already don't eat most of the big no-nos, but I do not to check back into it. One thing I know for sure is that I'm going to go a lot easier than last time. Isn't that funny? I was so tweaked out about following everything so strictly, and now I find that kind of embarrassing I've always tried to go with what really seems to make sense and seems right to me and follow my body, why would pregnancy be any different?

I avoided a whole massive list of spices (practically all of them!) which was really rough because I cook a lot and I love cooking, and a whole slew of other things.

This time will be a lot easier in many ways. With DD I cold turkey dropped smoking, coffee, my nightly beer, and my nightly pot I broke down on the coffee partway through, though, btw I could only take so much of my MW s******ing about it, she really didn't thinking having limited amounts of coffee was a big deal at all, and knew how hard it was for me. She thought it was funny. And I wasn't ABOUT to drink decaff!

Now I haven't stopped nursing DD yet, so everything never stopped being restricted. I will need to cut back down on coffee, but this time the difference will be far less drastic. I had worked as a waitress and a hole-in-the-wall little restaurant for years where I carried my cup of coffee around all day After I quit working there and it wasn't just constant topping off from an ever-full pot I realized how much coffee that was. My nightly beer is gone, but that's not really too big a deal for me, I never had more than one anyway.

Oh, and I love sushi, too! I obviously don't eat mine with fish, but if I did I wouldn't have stopped so long as I wasn't getting it from a super-shifty place. There's this stigma about raw fish and it's safety and it's just really not true, when handled properly.

Going down to a cup of coffee is going to be the hard one for me which just doesn't seem so hard as the cigarettes last time I love tea, too But I ended up with a wide variety that was okay to drink last time that I am happy with, so I'm not worried about that. All I'm drinking now is stomach ease, anyway
