granita!

last night i made my first granita. so easy, so versatile, so tasty. the idea began to form after reading a post on cooking4engineers. we have apple juice, i thought. i'll make a granita! to the apple juice i added 2 tbls. rum, 1 tbls. limoncello, cinnamon, nutmeg, a dab of ground cloves. came out like frozen apple pie. yum.

My chicken salad is way bland, as it turns out. I'm not sure what exactly it's missing. Of course salt helps a lot, and Korean hot pepper paste, but it shouldn't need that much help.

[UPDATE: Saturday afternoon, the answer is vinegar.]
