Damsel's post got me thinking about Easter, which I've managed to ignore
quite blissfully so far this year. Here's my tentative menu:

Artichokes with Lemon-Garlic Butter
(Riesling)

Baby Greens with Grapefruit Sections and Mirin Vinaigrette
Roasted Lamb and Potatoes with Rosemary and Garlic
Green Peas with Mint and Butter
Walnut-Olive Focaccia
(Bordeaux)

Strawberry Tart


Some issues remain, and I hereby solicit opinions:

1. Rack of lamb or leg of lamb? There will be six adults eating. Cost isn't
really a consideration. Last year I made three racks of lamb for these same
guests, and that worked out well; I'd think one leg of lamb ought to
suffice.

2. My guests aren't all that big on coffee. What would you want to drink
with the strawberry tart? (We'll be eating around 3:30 PM.)

3. The strawberry tart has a layer of cream cheese and whipped cream holding
the strawberries upright within the crust. Would more whipped cream on top
be good? Would homemade ice cream be better? Or how about a dessert sauce,
and if so, WHAT dessert sauce?

4. I'm not all that sure about the Bordeaux with the main course. Any
suggestions for a different wine?
