It’s that strange time of year in Southern California when the calendar says that it is still winter, but the weather is more like spring. The comforts of winter are still appealing, especially when the nights cool off, but I always start to get anxious for the renewal ahead. This menu will hopefully appeal to both impulses. Try the Morroccan Lentil Stew, a Berkeley Salad and a Roast Chicken for a comforting, yet light meal or go straight for the Pot Roast with Quinoa Salad, Roasted Potatoes and Blanched Beans. If you need renewal more than comfort, try the Curry Cauliflower Soup, The OC Salad and Roasted Pepper, Onion and Cauliflower. Whichever combination you choose, you can’t miss with the menu this month. Simply place your order 24 hours in advance by email to kimdonahue@weekdaybistro.com or 714-307-9453.
