I think it is about time for another cocktail granita... don't you? Just before it cools down too much to enjoy cocktails as a frozen dessert, I thought I better share this with you before you tell me off for bad timing - although for Chew Town's American friends, the timing couldn't be better as ...
Some mornings you already know that it's going to be the kind of day that deserves a cocktail. For example, if you get ready to leave for work 45 minutes earlier than usual on a Monday morning, but then you slip and fall on ice on your way to start up your car.

Almost everyone I know has a favorite food that they look forward to when the county fair rolls around each year. For some people Chiavetta's chicken, corn on the cob, or deep-fried candy bars are all they can think about.
