    09 May 1914 - PRESIDENT WILSON MAKES MOTHER'S DAY A FEDERAL HOLIDAY:
    Since 1905, Anna Jarvis has lobbied various officials to adopt a holiday honoring mothers, and she's succeeded in convincing many US states to
    take part. Today, President Woodrow Wilson proclaims the second Sunday
    in May to be Mother's Day and a US federal holiday.

    Title: Mother's Day Mimosa Granita
    Categories: Five, Wine, Citrus
    Yield: 5 servings

    1/2 c Water
    3 tb Granulated sugar
    3 c Fresh squeezed orange juice
    3/4 c Champagne
    6 sl (thin) orange & strawberry;
    - garnish

    Add the water and sugar to a small saucepan, place it
    over medium heat and cook just long enough to dissolve
    the sugar, about 1 minute. Let it cool to room
    temperature.

    Add the orange juice. Stir to blend.

    Pour the mixture into a shallow dish, cover it with
    plastic wrap and place it in the freezer until the edges
    are frozen, about 30 minutes. Scrape the ice from the
    edges with a fork, mixing it into the center. Repeat
    this scraping and mixing process every 20 minutes or so,
    until it has turned into tiny ice flakes. (Don't stir as
    you would a batter -- you should almost be "chopping" as
    you move the ice around.) Keep this in the freezer until
    you're ready to use it.

    Fill 4 to 6 glasses with the granita and let it defrost
    slightly, so that it's slushy, about 5 minutes.

    Cut slits in the orange and strawberry slices, garnish
    the glasses with them and serve!

    Servings: 4 to 6
