and my bad: i reread the recipe multiple times but somehow missed the chicken bouillon. no matter, i probably would have left it out anyway, not knowing better. now that i’ve made it i see where it might boost the flavor– it seems that this is more flavorful at room temp, but loses the punch once cold. i don’t usually take much salt in my recipes, but this needed more.

in all, this was cool, refreshing, and tasty, and we had plenty leftover to snack on, even after we made a late supper on it. i like the possibilities, too, and the bacon was a neat surprise. thanks!
