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
