2nd April Menu

April is cool with frequent showers, hail and just a little wet snow. But spring is just around the corner. You can smell earth in the humid, expectant air. Lightness to match the season coming is in order, but these past weeks have been quite chilly, so a little warmth would not go amiss. Thus I propose to you the 2nd April menu with a hint of the exuberance of youth and just enough heat to drive winter's final tendrils back into the darkness. All dishes listed are low calorie unless indicated (with a *).
