Tis the Season

Spring has finally made an appearance in Seattle.  For a few days this month, there was sun!  It was beautiful, and I still have the fading remnants of the year's first set of tan lines.  It's a beautiful time of year for me, really.  Those few warm days are so new and appreciated, and the others with their drip drops of rain reminding me that I do, in fact, live in a city known for its precipitation.  And then there's the spring rolls.  Not that I'd turn them down any other season of the year, but there's something so deliciously apropos about eating them at the time of their namesake.  Fresh vegetables are everywhere, and I start to remember that a cold entrée can make a pretty satisfying meal.
