First with the good.
Molly Moon's opened up a location in Capitol Hill. Between Molly's excellent ice cream, the ice cream lady (Half Pint) at the farmer's market, and my own ice cream making experiments, I can only think, thank goodness boot camp and long runs started up.
And, it looks like a real cheese shop may be opening in Capitol Hill. The rumored location is about a 15 minute walk from my house, near Quinn's, the taqueria, Molly Moon's, Cafe Presse, and I'm pretty sure, close to the soon-to-be-opened Cupcake Royale new location. I think Capitol Hill is turning into a little gourmet grotto.
A real cheese shop - a la the cheese shop I would hit in the Marina after acupuncture in San Francisco - is going to be a very excellent addition in Cap Hill, and by extension, my life. Currently, the best cheese selection is at Whole Foods in Eastlake. Cosa Bella in Wallingford was good, but limited, and now that they've changed owners, I haven't been back since the close out sale. QFC and Trader Joe's have doable, but not inspirational selections.
And now for the not so good.
Thai Siam closed. I think many of us have a go to Thai place, and Siam was mine. The people were always friendly, the food was always dependable and delicious. I bought takeout from Siam the night I decided to live at the Park Rose Terrace and in Cap Hill, and I've picked up take out after each move in Cap Hill. Good food memories. Farewell.
PS - Jan, you have to visit, and soon. Mollie Moon's has delicious salted licorice ice cream!
