Some kind of lemon ice. Here is one recipe, but you can also get good lemon ices at most stores now: 3/4 c. sugar 1 and 1/2 t. unflavored gelatin 1 and 1/2 c. water 1/4 c. lemon juice 1 t. grated lemon rind 1 egg white stiffly beaten Blend sugar, gelatin and water in saucepan. Sir over low heat till gel dissolves. Cool. Add juice and rind. Pour into refrigerator tray; freeze to mush. Fold in beaten egg white. Freeze till firm stirring occasionally. Serve in old fashioned glasses, top with a twist of lemon. This stuff is delicious! But then, I would definitely drink champagne from a cleanish shoe if it was available.

Re the Chex mix, I suggest you skip the sugar and add a couple of cups of broken bagel chips and/or the same amount of Cheeze Nips and two tablespoons each of vinager and worchester sauce. Thaks for reminding me of Black Velvets, yum Now that the Oscars are over I should let you know that I thought the Hurt Locker would win all along.
