Spring Menu!

Spring menu in the works.  I've got so many ideas for this Spring I see the menu to be changing fairly often losing a dish here or there only to be replaced by something else fun and of course it will be subject to change depending on my foraging excursions.  I should have lots of wonderful items like ramps, nettles, fiddleheads, morels, chickweed, mulberries, elderberry flowers...

Gelatin/Agar Agar Clarifcation

Oatmeal in the front, gazpacho in the back.
So you make the flavor, substance, solid you want to liquefy... turn to clear liquid... shear a little agar agar over the top, freeze, let it defrost in cheese cloth in strainer over container then presto chango-clear liquid.  Not quite as quick or clear as a centrifuge, not quite clear as distilled, but still neat.  Maybe you can get kids to eat things they normally wouldn't by tricking them into drinking them ;)
