How strict are you with eating guidelines while pregnant?

Just wondering how strict you are while pregnant with all the various eating guidelines that are out there?
I am newly pregnant (6.5weeks - second pregnancy, first pregnancy ended in MMC) and have been fairly careful within reason to date. When I saw my FS (who is also an OB) he was really relaxed and said you can get as strict as you want but he only warns "no alcohol, 1 cup of coffee per day, no raw seafood". He said it was ok to eat ham, cheese etc....(obviously within standard food safety guidelines).
Are you strict? Eat what you want? or somewhere in between?

I eat too much sweet stuff, but do well in avoiding coffee, alcohol, sushi, pre-made rice and prawns. I also eat McDonald's occasionally, but most of the time my diet consists largely of cereals, legumes, veggies. So I am probably somewhere in the middle!
Posted 18 November 2012 - 01:30 PM
I pretty much follow your OBs rules. No alcohol at all. Only 1 coffee a day (this I find the hardest to maintain!) and no raw fish or any sushi due to the risk with the rice.
I still eat ham, albeit infrequently, if I know it is fresh off the bone. I am more concerned with nitrates than freshness, but that applies to not being pregnant too.
I still eat salads, just not pre-prepared ones. I have friends who refuse to eat salad for the duration of their pregnancies, even when washed and made at home.
I am cautious with seafood and don't eat pre-cooked prawns. I eat fish regularly and where I would normally eat salmon a little underdone, when pregnant, I cook it thoroughly.
I do still from time to time indulge in a little fresh brie or blue cheese. I am not so concerned with cheese as it is made from pasteurised milk in Australia. I just don't eat feta from delis where I have no idea when they last changed the water it sits in.
Posted 18 November 2012 - 01:32 PM
I pretty much did what your OB said (except I drank a glass of red wine when I wanted to).
I wouldn't have eaten ham from anywhere, but my local deli is always super busy so I know their product doesn't sit around for long.
I just made sure what I ate was fresh, reheated well where applicable.
I definitely am not a member of the listeria hysteria club.

I'm somewhere in the middle, I still drink too much coffee ( but have ordered some Nescafé decaf pods this week). But I don't eat soft cheese or salami. Later on I may have a glass of wine. I don't really drink anyway so it's no big difference.
I don't go totally crazy like no lettuce etc.

Oh and I don't have runny yolk in my eggs
Posted 18 November 2012 - 01:42 PM
Was more strict the first time around - not so much this time.... also because I'm 50kg heavier this time so trying to not gain any weight, at least no more than the baby weighs. So far so good, I actually lost some weight in the first tri (yay). Chocolate gives me migraines when pregnant so that helps.
I am trying to limit my caffeine and low calorie soft drinks, things with lots of unpronouncables in them. Rest of the time I am eating anything that doesn't make me gag at the thought. Mostly craving salads. I dont' buy pre-prepared ones from the supermarket, not into Subway where it comes in a bag and sits around all day - but at home or in a cafe or restaurant I'm not worried.
I've never had food poisoning so I don't expect to get it now.
Posted 18 November 2012 - 01:53 PM
I avoid alcohol 100%
Everything else I eat with normal care (ie no short use by date smoked salmon, or cheese platters left on the table for too long).
Avoiding ham and lettuce seems crazy.
Wash the lettuce like it is recommended you do (even when not pregnant) and buy ham from the deli that doesn't smell funky. Common sense stuff.

My child was IVF after 6 miscarriages and 7 years TTC. So I think I tended to be more 'paranoid' than the norm. My fellow IVFers I found were also as paranoid. However, the mothers in my mothers group (none IVF) didn't adhere to the eating bans at all. And most hadn't even heard of them!
Must add that those not eating salad AT ALL are incorrect. Salad from shops is unknown, and therefore on the "do not eat list". But if you make it at home, wash it correctly it is perfectly fine.
Posted 18 November 2012 - 01:57 PM
I have probably ticked every box in the 'bad eating guidelines' and I'm only 7wks. But it's all in extreme moderation. If your eating/ drinking thee 'Bad things' day in day out then surely that's when it's a worry?? But then, I guess it would only take one dodgy pizza shop with crap salami and that would do it?????
My point is, if I worried about it too much it would do my head in. So again, my idea is moderation.

Thanks for all your responses so far. I have noticed that this time I am much more relaxed about all the food stuff, especially after what my DR said. Common sense is the way to go!
Posted 18 November 2012 - 03:12 PM
I am avoiding things like alcohol, raw seafood, pre made salads etc but yesterday I had freshly made sushi with cooked ingredients still hot, so I'm not over the top this time. Christmas I'll still have fresh ham we carve off the bone but sadly no prawns, smoked salmon etc. Blue cheese and feta will also be hard for me!
Posted 18 November 2012 - 03:19 PM
Im desperate for blue cheese. I might just treat myself for Christmas. I think I have had too many hysterics in my head. Thanks for the rationale ladies.
Posted 18 November 2012 - 03:30 PM
I am not very strict at all in my second pregnancy but then I wasn't really in my first either.
I avoid alcohol, I eat soft cheese but only if it's made with pasteurized milk (most are if you read the label), I eat meat that is medium rare, soft eggs and ham etc. Salami and other cured meats I will eat if they are reheated.
I cut back my coffee from 3 a day to 1 but still have the occasional extra one every now and then if I feel like it.
I don't eat seafood at all anyway so don't have to worry about that and I eat salads but just a little bit more careful about where I get if from.
There is no need to get obsessive, just exercise a little bit of common sense.
Posted 18 November 2012 - 03:34 PM
I stuck to some rules and relaxed on others.
No alcohol at all. No sushi. Rarely had soft cheese as long as it was Australian. But I still eat ham and salad as long as it's all fresh and washed.
Posted 18 November 2012 - 03:35 PM
I think this time around (we have a DD) I am less strict with what Im eating. Im not drinking any alcohol though.
I have one coffee a day, ill eat ham if its on a toastie at home. Im not too fussy about salads, although to be honest, Im really not feeling like salad at the moment anyway.
I guess Im cautious about left overs and that sort of thing, and avoiding soft cheeses as well. But Im sure ill have a piece of soft cheese or two over christmas.
Im trying to eat in moderation, but finding it hard with morning sickness.
Posted 18 November 2012 - 03:37 PM
I followed the guidelines 100% for both of my pregnancies and no alcohol at all. I also made sure I took all the vitamins and the correct level of iodine, which is good for babies development. It doesn't take much to give up a few things for 9 months.

If you go to a pizzeria that you trust then there shouldn't be a problem, even if the pizza shop looks a bit dodgy, as long as the pizza is piping hot and eaten fresh out of the oven it's better than having cold salami on a sandwich.
OP I've been relatively careful, although I do have a couple of cans of Coke a day which has less caffeine than coffee. I'm staying away from soft cheeses and not eating ham unless it is hot on a pizza. I did have non-fish sushi the other week but I felt really guilty so I won't be doing that again until I have the baby.
Posted 18 November 2012 - 07:00 PM
I was fairly strict with my pregnancies but not religiously. I did not have soft serve ice cream as I know people who have worked with those machines and told me about their cleaning, even though they are cleans to strict standards.
I did not touch deli meats (prepackaged or otherwise) because there have been far too many cases of recalls for contaminated products.
I did sample brie every now and then and I did have uncooked feta as long as it was not in brine, though again it was a rarity.
Ultimately, my goal was to minimise potential risks to my babies. Not eating these things for 8 months is not that hard and I used my own judgment.
Posted 18 November 2012 - 07:25 PM
I'm more strict on some things than others. I still have one coffee a day, sometimes I will have an extra coffee if I'm invited out. I don't do well-done meat, I'd rather go without. I have it on the more 'done' side of medium rare. I'll eat anything if it's come out of a 200+ degree pizza oven I plan to have half a glass of red wine on Christmas day.
On the flip side I won't touch cold ham, as a pp said there was a recent recall that gave me the heebie jeebies. I don't eat pre-prepared salads, but I eat home made salad. I don't bother with soft cheese either, while I like it, I don't like it enough to risk it. Leftovers get passed over to DH after 24 hours. I don't eat sushi at all.
Posted 18 November 2012 - 07:40 PM
I wasn't strict and I don't plan to be strict next pregnancy either.
I used common sense, and avoided only raw seafood and alcohol.
Posted 18 November 2012 - 07:42 PM
I'm semi strict, and some things I don't have anyway so it's not a problem (alcohol, seafood and sushi).
I'll only eat deli meats and soft cheeses if they're hot, salads I'll eat if they're made at home (which even pre-pg was what I mostly did anyway). Left-overs I won't eat after 24 hours, I'll drink coffee if it's ice cold (have gotten an aversion to hot coffee/cappuccino etc) some days above the recommended amount for caffeine, I still have my steak medium.
Things like egg I never really like runny yolk so not to much of a problem, and I make my own hollandaise sauce at home so I know the yolk is cooked not raw in it.
Posted 18 November 2012 - 07:54 PM
Wasnt fussy at all. No alcohol and cut down my coffee intake a bit. Pate too which wierdly my OB said steer clear from despite him being very casual about everything else.
I find the salad hype bizarre, I had never ever heard that until EB and I have known a LOT of pregnant women. How on earth do you stay healthy? A salad sandwich/wrap/bagutte for lunch is what I ate every single day. Surely raw salad ingredients are exactly what you should be eating to get as much nutrients and good stuff into your body?? Anyway ignorance was bliss for me on that one.
Posted 18 November 2012 - 07:58 PM
Not very strict. I just use common sense, I wouldn't say I follow the guidelines to the T.
I limit high mercury fish, I don't eat raw fish, I am very wary of eating chicken and seafood.
I still have soft serve and thickshakes, I still eat my steak rare, I still eat deli meats and soft cheeses, I have had half a flute of champagne on NYE whilst pregnant with DD2 and half a bottle (if that) of beer while pregnant with DD1.
Posted 18 November 2012 - 08:04 PM
I find the salad hype bizarre, I had never ever heard that until EB and I have known a LOT of pregnant women. How on earth do you stay healthy?I've never heard of anyone who hasn't eaten salad full stop, but I imagine people like myself who won't eat pre-packed salads etc get around it by preparing their own lunch at home.
Although when I was pg with DS I was much less organised and often went for the hot chips instead of salad sandwiches at the uni cafeteria

Stuart Nicholson's Reminiscing in Tempo is a good book - a mainly oral history of Ellington.

And as much as I love the version of "Blood Count" on And His Mother . . ., when I hear the tune in my head I hear Andy Bey's version (with lyrics) on his amazing Shades of Bey album.
After rereading the initial question, I must ad another vote for the Blanton-Webster set. If you don't fall in love with at least some of this music, I question what it is you like music for.
While I love the later album/suite oriented era, I think his earlier swing-era and pre-swing material sometimes gets short shrift because people assume they know it because they know "Take the A Train" and "Satin Doll." Plus there are about a kabillion different Ellington collections from his earlier days, so it's hard to know how to tackle it.
RCA owns a lot of great early Ellington; if you see any single discs on their Bluebird imprint from Ellington's early career in a used bin, grab 'em (not least cause they're out of print). As much as I like prime and late Ellington, my life would be poorer without "The Mooche," "The Dicty Glide," the earliest "Mood Indigo," and countless more.
Also, there are two great two-disc sets titled something like The Duke's Men, which feature mid-period small-group recordings. Lotta great stuff on there.

vote three for The Blanton-Webster Years; I've been advised by people who know to avoid the new repackage of the same material in a cardboard case: "they fucked up the remaster" was his objection.
I really love The Far East Suite, it's the only thing I know from way later, obv I need to explore more
and I was beaten to recommending the Proper box, so I'll second that

I don't know - I have this and the remaster sounds fine to me, as good as you could expect for this period. I'm pretty sure that this is the same remaster that's in the Centennial edition.

Indeed. They are catchy and fill o hooks. With early to mid Ellington, due to recording technology, most songs were only around 3 minutes long. The classic Ellington / Strayhorn number Take The A Train packs a whole musical narrative in less than 3 minutes and has a great fadeout ending.

I am really enjoying The Afro-Eurasian Eclipse, one of Ellington's last albums. I know it's supposed to be African-influenced -- and it is -- but it sounds even more rock-influenced, to me. Dark, thumping and rhythmic. Very unlike what I expect of Ellington (OTOH, I'm not all that familiar with his bread-and-butter big band work). Anyway, great disc. (n.1).
(n.1) I did cringe at the corny spoken-word opening of the album, tho. Minor quibble, I guess.
― Daniel, Esq., Tuesday, 5 August 2008 10:55 (6 years ago) Permalink
haha, i LOVE that spoken word intro.
as has been noted in this thread, there's a ton of later period (60s-70s) Ellington that is amazingly good. One I didn't see mentioned is the piano/bass album with Ray Brown called This One's For Blanton. Sort of an album length sequel to the duets Duke did with Blanton way back when. The New Orleans Suite (Hodges' last album, I think) has some great moments as well.

I've kind of changed my mind on this. I think they did kind of screw it up - though it's still listenable if you turn the treble down a couple of notches on your stereo.
― o. nate, Tuesday, 5 August 2008 16:07 (6 years ago) Permalink
yeah, i think maybe the first disc of the B|W Band comp is kind of dodgy, esp. on headphones. I've got an old double LP with a lot of the same stuff and it sounds better to me, even on my crappy turntable. That said, those recordings would be great recorded on a cell phone. goddam, some of it is unbelievably good.

I've been listening to The Far East Suite pretty much nonstop, with a couple of plays of The Seattle Concert thrown in. Sound is rough, as it's a 1952 show (and Ellington's first LP as such), but really sweet. Clark Terry is really nice on "Perdido."

Who is Duke Ellington and why should I care about him? Are there any other individuals on the quarters that I missed? Usually it's some stupid mountain or some wild life from the state. Who's Duke Ellington? Was he the architect of DC? I thought that guy was French. Ellington does not sound French to me.

The first thing I heard after the B-W set was The Far East Suite, which completely floored me. After that, I sought out all late 60s suites.
I used the Penguin Guide as a reference, but I was also taking a tutorial on Ellington in college at the time. Every piece that was played in class, I thought, "Wow, this is great...wow, THIS is great...shit, they're all great."

if I had to get one ellington primer, you guys would suggest Blanton-Webster? I saw there were a couple of different versions of the set on amazon, both with reviews questions their sound quality.
― christmas candy bar (al leong), Friday, 17 January 2014 04:19 (1 year ago) Permalink
yeah I'd go with that. I mean, you're going to have some "sound quality" issues on any issue, it's just the nature of the original recordings.
― signed, J.P. Morgan CEO (Hurting 2), Friday, 17 January 2014 04:21 (1 year ago) Permalink
If you're going for that era, get Never No Lament, not the old RCA Bluebird set. Besides the shitty denoise-ing on the Bluebird set, those CDs were/are pretty susceptible to "disc rot."
The period after Blanton-Webster is good, too (sometimes I prefer it), but I've had to live with a Bluebird set analogous to the B-W Bluebird set. The Naxos Jazz Legends "Black, Brown and Beige" CD might be good, though.

one of the things I love about his compositions/arrangements is the way he really lets the countermelodies and harmodies compete with the "melody" in strength, so you don't really get the effect of a "melody" over "chords" but more like moving tonal clusters

Thanks for posting that! Interesting arrangement, too -- different from what was released at the time.
It took me a while, but I grew to dig his voice. The first Ellington piece I (knowingly) heard was "You, You Darlin'" off the Blanton-Webster band set. I thought his singing was square and corny, but eventually heard how it worked with the rest of the orchestra. I can't imagine "Flamingo" any other way -- even Mingus' version (which is great) feels like something's missing without Jeffries.

"Just right for a little kid's party. This one is for our son, but I think you could even use it for a little girl who is interested in outer space. There were no coordinating address labels for this design, but we ordered "Eye Catching Event" return labels in the yellow/grey color scheme, and they went well enough with these cards."
"This was such an adorable product. We used this for our son's first birthday party. I have received countless compliments on the invitation. Wonderful product and I received it so quickly after ordering it."
"There were multiple color options for customization, it featured a unique design and the invitations were delivered quickly."
"I absolutely LOVED these invitations! I was so impressed with the quality of the paper and image color/clarity. They were so simple but as they say, "less is more!" These were so PERFECT for my baby's Western Themed Birthday Party. This was my first time ordering from Tiny Pints and I will definitely be a returning customer!"

Frogs Eat Butterflies, Snakes Eat Frogs, Hogs Eat Snakes, Men Eat Hogs Poem by Wallace Stevens
It is true that the rivers went nosing like swine,
Tugging at banks, until they seemed
Bland belly-sounds in somnolent troughs,
That the air was heavy with the breath of these swine,
The breath of turgid summer, and
Heavy with thunder's rattapallax,
That the man who erected this cabin, planted
This field, and tended it awhile,
Knew not the quirks of imagery,
That the hours of his indolent, arid days,
Grotesque with this nosing in banks,
This somnolence and rattapallax,
Seemed to suckle themselves on his arid being,
As the swine-like rivers suckled themselves
While they went seaward to the sea-mouths.

Comments about this poem (Frogs Eat Butterflies, Snakes Eat Frogs, Hogs Eat Snakes, Men Eat Hogs by Wallace Stevens )
Barry Middleton (1/15/2014 4:25:00 PM)
No one seems to want to tackle this one. I really like this poem. The title is pretty much the food chain and the poem is about how untutored man and life itself is consumed and essentially without meaning. The tone is beyond dark. Rivers, usually a rather romantic or baptismal image, here are like nosing, grunting swine tugging at banks and sounding like churning stomachs. I can almost smell the rank, farm air like a swines breath that nevertheless is 'turgid, full of the essence of life, summer's heat and thunder. But the man who lived here saw nothing. He might have had another image than that of Stevens but he actually saw nothing - not even how the very farm sucked the life from him. His life was lazy, arid, and somnolent in that he never noticed its grotesqueness. The swine like river flows on to the sea where it too is consumed by the sea mouth. This is not a cheerful poem. Stevens likes to attach whimsical titles to very somber ideas (Report) Reply

The poliovirus, which was last seen in Pakistan in September, has now spread to the sewage waters of Egypt, prompting health officials to rush to prevent a polio outbreak. No polio cases have been reported in Cairo, but officials say they are still treating the discovery as a full-blown outbreak. The aggressive reaction is part of a global program to eradicate the poliovirus. Pakistan, Afghanistan and Nigeria still have traces of the poliovirus, though an outbreak in Egypt could change that.

How to retrain a cat to use the litter box
Muffin had 2 stones in her bladder and took to peeing outside the litter box. She had surgery 12 days ago and is now healed and was using the litter box I had on my bed but now that I took her cone off I put the litter box back on the floor and washed my sheets so I could sleep in my bed for the first time since the surgery but she peed on my bed just now! She's sleeping in the window beside my bed and the litter box is at the foot of my bed by the wall where the window is, I have a hard time believing she didn't know where it is. There are two litter boxes in my bedroom (I used to have 2 cats) both in view and scooped clean. I was so hoping that we could go back to a normal life and now I am feeling very upset and angry. Does anyone have any advice or experience with something similar to help me understand and get through this period because I'm feeling pretty hopeless right now.
I could and put the litter on the floor but I think she'll still jump down on the bed first. I'm going to try moving her to another window in the living room and hope she doesn't pee on the couch. Maybe I'll cover it with garbage bags to be sure.
This would cost you about $100, but you could purchase a large dog crate and fix it up with litter box/pan, food, and water. Put the crate somewhere where it won't bother you. Keep her inside for several hours at a time. She'll have room to move and will likely start using her litter again. I have one of these big dog crates in my kitchen, and I bring my one mean cat in at night and bed her down inside. She is separate from the indoor cats (can't harass them), warm and safe. She has come to love this crate because it belongs to her, and she knows that it is her safe, secure night-time spot. Good luck.

Samajwadi Party president Mulayam Singh Yadav on Monday came down heavily on the Akhilesh Yadav government, stating that it is being run by bureaucrats while ministers are on the back seat.
Mulayam vented his dissatisfaction in the presence of Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav and PWD Minister Shivpal Yadav at a function organised to lay the foundation of an international standard swimming pool at his native village Saifai in Etawah district.
"I am aware about the functioning of the government. It is being run by officials and not the ministers. Only one or two ministers are performing up to the expectations, others need to pull up their socks," Mulayam said.
In the past also, Mulayam has expressed his dissatisfaction with the functioning of the state government at meetings of party office-bearers and ministers, but this is the first time he said this publicly.
The SP president also said there were individual officers holding several important departments which was not a good practice. He asked his son to keep a watch on such officials.
"You have several departments under you. You should keep an eye on the working of officials under you as some of them have important departments," Mulayam reportedly told Akhilesh.
He also asked Akhilesh to summon a Cabinet meeting and take stock of pending projects and ensure that the decisions of the Cabinet are implemented in letter and spirit. He also asked Akhilesh to function without bias.

From the Editor, July 2005: Win-Lose Situations
We go to press at what we hope is the end of a nasty brouhaha over kernel development, with Linus Torvalds finally forced to abandon BitKeeper, his favorite source code management system, and develop an alternative. Samba guru Andrew Tridgell developed a free tool to pull data from BitKeeper repositories, BitKeeper's Larry McVoy responded by pulling the free-of-charge version that kernel developers had been using, and a lot of people's carpal tunnels took a beating in the resulting—well let's be nice and call it a discussion.
Much as we like to find the win-win situations where we can, people have different goals. Are you writing a really good operating system kernel, are you building a proprietary software business or do you want to keep up with what's going on without having to accept BitKeeper's non-compete clause? The Linux business is all grown up in a lot of ways, moving billions of dollars in hardware, software and services, but now that we are the IT marketplace, it's time to be more honest with ourselves about conflict.
Some of us are always going to sound like software freedom zealots, and some are always going to sound like greedy swindlers. The answer isn't to flame the other side with the "if you'd just compromise on my issue, it would be good for Linux" argument. Understand you're in conflict and sell your alternative as well as you can. Here's where Linux Journal comes down on a side that has to be in opposition to some of the other participants in the market—but we're not going to say it's for the good of "Linux", or start flaming when people won't act against their own interests.
In the long run, we say it's worth a lot of late nights, hot coffee and risking getting flamed on a support list to get your organization's directory service away from a proprietary choice and onto one of the freedom-friendly, standardized alternatives. Although you might be able to move some applications to Linux sooner if you just plug Linux in to your existing proprietary directory, that is the road to lock-in. Letting readers get locked in is bad for us because we're here to help everyone do new, innovative projects on all kinds of systems, not just whatever is in the directory vendor's interest to support.
When Craig Swanson and Matt Lung proposed the now-famous "OpenLDAP Everywhere" in 2002, it was as a piece on making your whole business run on Linux. That's a big subject, so Craig and Matt decided to narrow the focus. Strangely, they still managed to cover the essentials for getting your whole company running right. A lot has changed since 2002, so Craig and Matt are back on page 40 with a new, updated version that covers new software versions and lessons learned.
It's not all controversy this month, though. The best tools don't force you into hard choices. Joshua Bentham has an intro to a cross-platform, easy-to-use way to develop database apps on page 54. Enjoy the issue.

Historical Traveler Reviews Regent Contades Strasbourg
Great Hotel
Strasbourg is really worth going to. One of the nicest cities in France. The hotel was great. We had a superb room at the top of the hotel on the corner with great views of the river and church. The hotel is about a 15min walk from the main centre, but is well worth it! The reception staff were really helpful but we didn't use any ot the other facilities at the hotel so can't comment. But overall, well worth a stay.
Classic Hotel in good position
Heard that Strasbourg was worth a visit so booked in for one night. For the price I paid, this is a lovely hotel to base yourself for Strasbourg and surrounding area. The hotel itself is more traditional than modern but is well maintained in the classic style. The bedroom was well-sized with a very modern en-suite bathroom. The added bonus was that the room was on the top floor and as the weather was hot, you could open up the large french windows and leave them open at night. In terms of location, it is pretty ideal with a short walk into the main shopping and eating areas. There is limited parking underneath the hotel but there was space on the road outside and parking is free after 7pm and on Sundays. Well recommended.
Wonderful hotel gorgeous room in fairytale Strasbourg
My husband and I have been travelling quite a lot over the last six years through Expedia and the Hotel Regent Contades rates extremely highly on our list of really lovely hotels. We cannot praise the staff, the charming atmosphere of the residence and the beautiful newly decorated room too highly. It was gorgeous, so quiet and restful and superbly designed with every comfort. Because it was Easter we found chocolate bunnies on our pillows every evening which was a sweet and thoughtful touch. We did not have breakfast on this occasion. Situated diagonally opposite a beautiful church steeple and close to the river with weeping willows and cherry trees and within easy walking distance to the centre and the museums the hotel's location made our stay perfection. A very good tram service is also nearby. Strasbourg is a fairytale city only an hour and a half away from London and made a superb five day Easter break. In fact we needed far longer to explore all the nearby villages and indeed sample the superb Alsace cuisine at the multitude of delightful restaurants.
The Petite France area has a canal running through it with willow trees and beautiful old wooden beamed houses fronting the water and little boats gliding down. Indeed the sister hotel Regent Petite France is a splendid modern hotel facing the canal with an excellent gourmet restaurant and the Regent Contades will provide a return courtesy car to enjoy a beautiful dinner there. The shops are so quaint amidst winding cobble stoned streets and wooden beamed medieval houses with window boxes full of flowers and little Easter wooden rabbits and other decorations which may sound twee but truly enchanting like stepping back into fairyland time. Similarly the restaurants were lovingly decorated and the food wonderful - not heavy Germanic but French with a hint of the German specialities. In particular I can recommend the lovely food and atmosphere at La Petite Alsace and Le Rathsamhausen. We enjoyed drinks in the courtyard of the bar La Table Du Gayot and an amazing apple streudel and coffee (the food looked great too) at Le Baeckeoffe d'alsace but you will discover all these for yourselves. Au Crocodile the famous restaurant was not unfortunately open on the day we were able to visit. The homemade biscuit shop La Cure Gourmande is a tempting delight and a must. We also had a day at the lovely town of nearby Colmar and cannot recommend too highly the restaurant Le Marechal fronting the canal in this romantic and charming hotel. The village of Riquewihr is utterly endearing and full of old word charm and there were many more which of course becon for another time. The museums are fabulous - the Art Moderne rates amongst the best in Europe and has an excellent and reasonable restaurant. The Musee Beaux Arts was superb. I do recommend fellow Trip Advisors to enjoy Regent Contades and all the nearby areas have to offer and hope our findings will be useful.
Great view and location, needs work!
I stayed here for one night and we booked two rooms. First of all, the parking situation is not good. The hotel garage was full and we had to fight for street parking. Second, the room smelled badly of paint fumes - enough to give you a migraine. Third, the speakers on the tv were bad. Finally, we could not get hot water for a shower. When we talked to the staff about this they said, "This happens when a lot of people are staying here." I think it is time to get a new hot water heater for the hotel. You pay for a 4-star hotel, you should at least get a hot shower.
Good choice
We were there in December. Staff were really helpful and polite. The room always in perfect conditions with beatiful views to the church and the river. In a very strategic situation, very near to the cathedral and well communicated.
We were very pleased with our election.
A great choice!
Just returned from Europe and while we were in France, we stayed at the Regent Contades in Strasbourg. The hotel service was the best I've ever had, just superb. The location was wonderful. It's close to a lot of shops and restaurants. This city was my favorite. The only thing that keeps this hotel from being excellent is the fact that the furniture in the room is outdated and worn. Despite that, I would stay here again.
Found it great
I was quite surprised with the last review posted on your site. I go to Strasbourg several times a year and stayed at 6 or 7 different hotels. This was, by far the best one. I found it great, the breakfast was one of the best I have ever had (in a European style, but with great quality pastries, cured meats, etc). My room was nice and had a lovely view. I recommend it warmly.
What a bad experience....
I've just returned to a two days trip in Strasbourg and stayed in the Regent Contades which is supposed to be a four stars hotel....In fact, my wife and i had many surprising problems during our stay!
1-the staff is not professional at all...No smiles, no "hello", no service at all....For sample, we've been waiting 20 mn to have a coffee in the barn, whereas it was quite empty!
2-the breakfast: here again, we've been waiting half an hour, standing alone, before we had a table for two (in fact, a table for 4, with any other people we didn't know....).The fact is that the breakfast room is very small, no more than 10 tables!! And,of course, no apologize at all!!!
3-our double room was quite big, the deluxe i mean, but very old, you could hear your neighbours and their tv set.
4-the barman has to be a barman, but he's also bagagist and many things else...So he does what he can, but he's so alone. The other members of the staff are rude, aboslutly not profesionnal at all!
5-the "sport area"of the hotel was closed all the time!!
6-last but not least, another sample:i had to see my mails ont the net, so i asked the reception guy if there was a internet bar,or something like this around the hotel:he answered me but forgot to tell me that there was a Net access on the computer of the hotel....
Overall a very bad experience: I'm used to travel all over the world, in many four or five stars hotels, and it was one of my worst experience.
A last precison: I'm....French andi'm ashamed of this kind of french hotels, who are supposed to be luxury and are rubbery.
Hotel Regent Contades
Well located and well priced, this hotel was very charming and had a really superb staff. We brought our two dgs with us and there was no problem, althugh there was a charge. The hotel has a very comfortable lobby bar and although it is in need of updating in the rooms, the value for money was great.

Please show me your clear mini pendants - kitchen island?
My island is very small 3x4 and I'll need to pick 2 small clear more modern pendants. It is so hard to pick on-line and the stores don't carry most of the stuff.
My kitchen is walnut, white countertop, green ( chartreuse ) backsplash.
I need two not very big soft wire, not too shiny chrome clear/white glass pendants. Would love to see your pics or suggestions.
The problem also is that the ones that I like are always $300-500 a piece and I don't have budget for that. I would like to spend not more than $400-500 for both max.
Thank you!
My island will be 3x5, and I'm also going with two pendants. This is what I went with (from Restoration Hardware). They have several pendants, including an identical one in a polished nickel shade that I was going back and forth on, but I went with the ribbed glass in the end.

You always had this suspicion hot schoolgirls fuck for grades. Now, you have proof! Sex and Grades is exactly what the name says, cute, innocent girls getting boned by their teachers, tutors, even classmates. Check cam sex teen out, they do deserve A+ grades for all the incredibly naughty stuff they're ready to do. This is raw, intense teen porn with a schoolgirl twist to it, check it out! Get your rocks off watching horny school sluts improve their academic performance in the most natural way ever. Sex and Grades is a fun new site with all-hardcore schoolgirl themed content. No time is wasted here as these schoolmate sluts get into the action right away. Weekly updates are available, and the site, though new, is pretty damn big already. Satisfy your need to see innocent schoolgirls boned by just about every male on campus – this is some pretty hot shit right here and we don't want you to miss it. A great new site that's for sure!
Bone a petite, is that what the French say for enjoy your meal? If you are into tiny sexy vixens, you'll definitely enjoy Exxxtra Small, that's for sure. Anybody who likes vertically challenged teens, as they put it, should just abandon whatever stuff they are doing and pretty much sign up for an account with Exxxtra Small immediately. There are tons of surprises ahead, trust us! Exxxtra Small is all about small, but it's a big place for sure. Big as in awesome and so totally entertaining. Other sites need to learn, Exxxtra Small fulfills the expectations of a petite teen niche fan just nicely. The quality of videos is awesome, but the creativity put into filming them is even more awesome. In each new video, they come up with new ways of emphasizing how petite and vertically challenged and thin these girls are. And then they have them boned silly! And then you have 11+ other sites to see! This is crazy, this is what porn should be, just a comprehensively great experience!
There are times when you feel like something fun and simple. Like tight fresh teen sluts in all-out hardcore fucking action, for example! The appeal of firm young bodies exposed on camera and drenched in hot sticky muck is hard to beat. You may be into more niche stuff normally, but hey, when this desire to see slutty teen babes hits you, there is no shame in satisfying it. Apparently a great way to do it these days is Teens Do Porn. This new site just got released, and we loved it right away. Wanna know why? Of course you do. For starters, and we took the effort to find out about this right away, it's a Team Skeet production. You know these people know their teen porn. It's definitely one of the leading names in the biz right now, and we always wait eagerly for their next site. Which is never a very long wait anyway. So now we have Teens Do Porn, and damn it is looking good. The tour design is very basic, with barely anything there but tasty-looking screencaps from the videos. But we'll be damned if it isn't enough. The girls look extra cute and extra hot in these, and you can clearly see there are all sorts of nasty things done to these girls. After you get inside the member area, of course. With a site like Teens Do Porn, it's only a matter of time. You wouldn't want to miss out on what Team Skeet have done next, would you? Find Out…
