It is going great! I have been going back and forth between sourdough and regular bread since sourdough takes much longer to rise and proof. But I made some earlier this week that is fantastic – nice and sour but not overwhelming. You should try it! Just get some red grapes and get a starter going, and next time you order books get Breads from the La Brea Bakery by Nancy Silverton or one of Peter Reinhart’s books. I am having fun with it… but of course I’m retired, unlike you!

How is the sourdough baking going? Does it taste as good in this humid climate?

Pamela, Hi there! Thanks for coming to the blog! (Ha Ha Now that you’re a blogger you are getting into it, right?) We’ll be regulars at Molika, I’m sure. I just hope that everyone who stays here in the summer gives him their business since summer is a tough time for restaurants here. I will!

Oh My! You’re making me hungry! These pictures are fabulous, the Swordfish with the bread salad (panzanella) was light and oh so tasty! I’ve been back twice now, tried the beef Pannini, homemade lasagna, the octopus salad (recommended) and of course the sticky date pudding (very English – Hector’s wife, also a chef, is from England somewhere…) so it was really good. Hmmmm, maybe I need to go try the veggie sandwich!

Jackie, Oh, trust me, the food was great!

1st. Mate, Next time you’re here, it’s my treat! I hope it works out for a visit in May!

Sonja, Thanks for the info on Kit Cat, we will have to hit that next week. And yes, if you want Thai food we highly recommend Zab Thai in the golden zone. Want to double date?

Hey Nancy,

Yes Molika is very good food and I agree that I would avoid all sweets all week just to have their deserts once in a while. Kit Kat is nothing too fancy but regular sandwiches, bagette (sp) sandwiches and square pizzas. I found the prices for the sandwiches that I had very inexpensive and I have been told that the pizzas are pretty good.

Do you know of a good Thai restaurant in town? I really miss red curry.

Cheers,

Sonja
