Tastespotting - what happened?

Ummm, dbcurrie, trademark law says a trademark owner must police rights or lose them. Copyright law says no such thing. Your work can be infringed by a million people, and you will still own your copyright and you can still sue the million and first infringer (though the other infringements might affect your damages or ability to claim wilfull infringement.)

Not that there aren't good reasons for authors to protect their works, and lots of good debate about where lines should be drawn.

Just saying.

Where to eat in Seattle / Lynnwood / Bothell - Washington

Le Pichet in Belltown or its sister, Cafe Presse, on Capitall Hill.

Cafe Zoe in Belltown, my favorite Tom Douglas venue thought it doesn't get the publicity Dahlia gets. Serious Pie is his too, and has yummy pizza but has been so crowded the two times I've been there that the meal was not very enjoyable (Friday night both times, I should get a clue!)

Agua Verde right by the ship canal in the U district is fun.

Second the vote for Macrina for brunch - there is a Belltown venue too.

I am still a fan of that old standby Wild Ginger.

As a local, I always enjoy and benefit from hearing about other locals faves, and I think you all made good suggestions ;-)

Best Find from Trader Joes?

Black Mountain cabernet - best $5.99 wine I've had in a long while!
Medium frozen cooked shrimp
Feta (the one in the yellow and green packet)
Red bell peppers
Ham and gruyere pizza
Edamame
Dark chocolate with hazelnuts
Blood orange soda (mix this 3 to 1 with campari, yum!)
Lavendar shower gel
Organic firm tofu (the non-organic is not good)
Broccolini (can't use regular broccoli in stir fry any more)
Salami with pepper rind

Waitering, Part Two

The story is funny and well told. Adam is a bit spoiled, though. Most people can't afford to quit their jobs (Mom and Dad aren't subsidizing them) and so they just suck it up and persevere.

Favorite Trader Joe's items?

Dried mango with chili powder - so sweet and spicy and tender, not leathery. Yum.
Greek yogurt - prefer Fage to the house brand.
Frozen Prig Khing Green Beans (in tamarind sauce); to die for, currently unavailable but I am assured they are looking for a new supplier.
Organic firm tofu is really good; the non-organic firm tofu not so good.
Cheap and yummy red bell peppers; sweet 100 tomatoes; avocados; begged spinach and rocket . . .
Feta cheese - the one in the yellow and green packet, don't get the cheapest kind they have.
Sesame pita - these freeze really well.
Mochi ice cream - not a TJ brand, but cheaper than it is elsewhere, though the selection at TJ can be limited. Green tea flavor is the best.
Frozen chile cheese tamales.
Frozen chicken chili is gooood.
Frozen edamame.

Disappointments:
Their house brand virgin olive oil.
